REM Sleep Behavior Disorder01:15

REM Sleep Behavior Disorder

301
REM Sleep Behavior Disorder (RBD) is a sleep disorder characterized by the absence of muscle paralysis that normally occurs during the REM phase of sleep. This absence allows individuals to physically act out their dreams, which are often vivid and disturbing. Common behaviors exhibited during episodes include kicking, punching, and yelling. These actions can be dangerous, potentially leading to injuries for the person with RBD or their bed partner.
RBD is significantly associated with...

Male Sexual Response: Erection & Ejaculation

3.3K
Sexual stimulation can take various forms, such as physical touch and visual or auditory cues. When this happens, the parasympathetic reflex in the sacral portion of the spinal cord is activated. This reflex stimulates the release of nitric oxide (NO), which then dilates the arterioles in the penis, increasing blood flow to the erectile tissues - the corpora cavernosa and corpus spongiosum.
The blood filling the erectile tissues compresses the veins, which helps to prevent blood from leaving...

Disorders of the Male Reproductive System

491
Men's health issues are increasingly recognized as significant, with several conditions posing common threats. Among these, testicular cancer is especially prevalent in younger men, particularly those aged 20 to 35 years. The disease often manifests as a painless mass in the testicles, sometimes accompanied by a sensation of heaviness or a dull ache.
Prostate disorders are another major concern. These conditions can impair urinary flow due to the prostate's location around the urethra....

Drug Therapy

82
The advent of drug therapy has profoundly shaped modern mental health care, providing targeted treatments for a range of psychological disorders. Psychotherapeutic drugs, classified into antianxiety, antidepressant, and antipsychotic medications, address symptoms across anxiety disorders, mood disorders, and schizophrenia. While these medications have transformed patient outcomes, they require careful management due to their potential side effects and limitations.

Antidepressant Drugs: MAOIs and Other Agents

Atypical antidepressants, including bupropion (Wellbutrin), mirtazapine (Remeron), nefazodone (Serzone), trazodone (Desyrel), and vilazodone (Viibryd), offer unique mechanisms of action. Bupropion weakly inhibits dopamine and norepinephrine reuptake, aiding depression treatment and smoking cessation, with a low risk of sexual dysfunction. Mirtazapine enhances serotonin and norepinephrine neurotransmission, leading to sedation, increased appetite, and weight gain. As a result, it helps treat...

The term "psychosis" refers to a spectrum of mental disorders characterized by abnormal thoughts, perceptions, and behaviors. It can manifest as mood disorders, dementia, delirium with psychotic features, substance-induced psychosis with psychotic features, brief psychotic disorder, delusional disorder, schizoaffective disorder, and schizophrenia. Among all these disorders, schizophrenia is the most common psychotic disorder, affecting 1% of the worldwide population. Psychotic...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Antipsychotic medication can cause sexual side effects, impacting treatment adherence. Switching from risperidone to lurasidone may resolve these issues, improving patient outcomes in bipolar disorder.

Area of Science:

  • Psychiatry
  • Pharmacology

Background:

  • Treatment-emergent sexual dysfunction (TESD) is a common adverse effect of antipsychotics, notably risperidone.
  • This can lead to noncompliance in patients with psychiatric disorders, impacting treatment efficacy.

Observation:

  • A 55-year-old male with bipolar disorder type 1 discontinued risperidone due to sexual side effects (reduced libido, anejaculation).
  • He was subsequently treated with lurasidone during inpatient psychiatric care.

Findings:

  • The patient's psychiatric symptoms improved on lurasidone.
  • He experienced resolution of sexual dysfunction and remained symptom-free during six months of outpatient follow-up.

Implications:

  • This case suggests lurasidone as a potential alternative for patients experiencing risperidone-induced sexual dysfunction.
  • Further research is needed to confirm lurasidone's efficacy and tolerability for TESD and address patient reluctance to discuss sexual side effects.
