Comparative study for penile brachial index and intracorporeal prostaglandin E1 infection as two approaches for diagnosis of male importance

The diagnosis of importance in male is of considerable importance in the field of forensic practice. This work was carried out to evaluate the diagnostic value of penile brachial index and interacorporeal prostaglandin E1 injection in the differentiation between psychogenic and organic importance in males. Thirty male patients complaining of impotence were included in the resent study. Full history, general and local examination were carried out for each case, also laboratory studies including, blood sugar levels, urine, prostatic analysis, serum testosterone and prolactin levels were done. Patients involved in the present study were divided according to laboratory investigations and sexual history into two main groups psychogenic and organic group. Penile brachial index was calculated and results were compared with those of intracorpoeal prostaglandin E1 injection in both groups. The patients with normal penile brachial index [above 0.7] tend to give positiveresponse with prostaglandin E1, while patients with poor penile branchial index [less than 0.7] tend to give negative response with prostaglandin E1. Positive response with prostaglandin E1 injection was considered if an erection angle was more than 70 degree sign and maintained more than one hour with good tumescence and rigidity

Postmortem endogenous production of ethanol in albino rabbit

This study was carried out to evaluate the endogenous postmortem [PM] ethanol production in Albino rabbit. Fifty-four adult male new-zeland rabbits were divided into three equal groups, 18 animals each. All groups were subjected to intra-peritoneal [IP] injection of 20 ml normal saline for group I [control], 20 ml of 50% glucose [G] for group II, and 2g/kg of 50% ethanol [E] [weight/volume] for group III. Sixty minutes after injection, all animals were sacrificed and left to putrefy for 24 ours at room temperature. Blood [B], vitreous humor [V] and urine [U] samples ere collected from each animal at 3 time intervals; I-Before commencing the experiment [0 time]: a blood sample was collected to determine blood glucose concentration [BGC-0] and Blood Ethanol Concentration [BEC-0]. 2-Sixty minutes after injection [just after animal sacrifice]: blood and vitreous humor samples to determine [BGC-60], [BEC-60] and [VEC-60] 3-Twenty-four hours postmortem blood, vitreous humor and urine samples to determine [BEC-24]. [VEC-24] and [UEC-24]. The results showed that there is a postmortem production of ethanol. In group I, the concentration of blood ethanol produced PM ranged from 0-42 mg/dL. In group II [glucose dosed group], this concentration ranged from 7-90 mg/dL. In group three [ethanol dosed group] BEC-24 was significantly higher than BEC-60. On the other hand, a positive correlation was found between BECF-60 and VEC-60, BEC-60 and VEC-24 and BEC-60 and UEC-24 in the ethanol dosed group. Furthermore, in the ethanol dosed group also, the ratio between UEC-24; BEC-60 was 1.236: 1, UEC-24: BEC-24 was 1.212: 1, UEC-24: VEC-24 was 1.219: I and UEC-24; VEC-60 was 1.161:1
