ABSTRACT
Aim of the study is the appraisal of stress in a group of the 500 anaestheticians and in a control group. Two anonymous self-administered questionnaires were utilized, one for the subjective appraisal of the perceived various risk related to job, and one for the subjective appraisal of stress: VRS questionnaire of Tarsitani and Biondi. The results of the study showed that all the anaestheticians identified the perception of the emotional aspects related to work as a risk factor. They put it mainly in relation with the forensic implications. The total score of scale VRS and the score for cluster depression, anxiety, aggressiveness are higher in the anesthetists than the control group.

The authors focus on the myoendothelial unit of the cavernous tissue, as they believe it to be of primary importance for the erectile event. The operations aimed at penile revascularisation were functionally unsuccessful, notwithstanding the haemodynamic resumption. This could be due to the myoendothelial unit not being perfectly integral. The authors have carried out 90 fine needle biopsies of the cavernous bodies in patients with erectile dysfunctions. These were evaluated using an ultra-microscope. The results of this ultra-structural analysis have highlighted various degrees of regressive phenomena, which can be linked to the severity and the duration of the symptom. The authors conclude by proposing that FNB should be used as a diagnostic tool for the selection of patients eligible for penile revascularisation.
