Función sexual de las mujeres con diabetes mellitus tipo 2: Unidad de Diabetes del Hospital Vargas de Caracas / Sexual funtion of the women with diabetes mellitus type 2: Diabetes Unit of Vargas Hospital Caracas

La diabetes mellitus es el trastorno endocrino metabólico más frecuente en el mundo y en nuestro medio. La función sexual en la mujer con DM ha sido poco estudiada y las investigaciones al respecto son poco concluyentes. A los efectos de estudiar la disfunción sexual en la mujer con DM tipo 2 y si ésta se relaciona con marcadores de complicación orgánica, se diseño el presente trabajo y los resultados evidencia que la disminución de la frecuencia sexual después del diagnóstico de DM tipo 2 y la disminución de la lubricación vaginal, son los hallazgos más frecuentes

Inhaled dopamine induces brochodilatation in patients with bronchial asthma

To determine:1. The probable bronchodilating effect of dopamine administered by inhalation route in patients with crisis of bronchial asthma and 2. The effect of dopamine on bronchial motor tone. We have studied eighteen (18) patients with crisis of bronchial asthma, ten 8109 subjects with bronchial hyperreactivity and ten (10) healthy subjects. Patients with other pulmonary or cardiac disease were excluded. All received by inhalation route: 1) Placebo 0.9 per cent salive solution), 2)dopamine a 0.5 µg/kg./min. (ciontrolled by heart rate and arterial pressure with a dynamap) and Placebo. Respiratory parameters: forceed expiratory volume at the first second (FEV1), forced maximal expiratory flow (FEXmax) and forced expiratory flow at the 50 per cent of vital capacity (FEF50) were measured in each protocol period. Student's paired test, Wilcoxon and Mann Whitney analysis were performed. After dopamine inhalation there was an increased of FVC by 23 per cent (p=.005); an incerased of FEV1 by 39 per cent (p=.0004); and increase of FEFmax by 31 per cent (p=.001) There were no respiratory parameter changes in both, subjects with bronchial hyperactivity and normals after dopamine inhalation. Inhaled dopamine induces brochodilatory effcts in patiens with crisis of brochial asthma,2) Inhaled dopamine neither alter basl bronchial tone in healthy subjects nor in subjects with bronchial hyperreactivity
