Abstract

BACKGROUND

Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) presents with broad and systemic manifestations, including impaired sleep; however, the impact of CRS treatments upon sleep is unknown.

OBJECTIVE

To establish the effect of medical or surgical CRS treatment on subjective and objective sleep metrics for patients not previously diagnosed with sleep apnea.

METHODS

Review of PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library was performed from the databases' date of inception through August 13, 2020, for studies evaluating the effect of CRS treatment on sleep quality. All studies reporting on subjective and objective sleep parameters for patients with CRS, with completed pre- and posttreatment data were included. Studies composed of patients with diagnosed sleep apnea were excluded.

RESULTS

Sixteen unique studies reporting data on a total of 1770 patients (mean age, 50.6 ± 15.6 (n = 1675) years) following treatment for CRS were included. Patient-reported outcome measures, Epworth Sleepiness Scale, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, and Fatigue Severity Scale, demonstrated mean posttreatment differences of -2.8 (95% CI: -4.9 to -0.7), -2.4 (95% CI: -3.7 to -1.2), and -1.2 (95% CI: -1.6 to -0.7), respectively. The SNOT-22 and its sleep domain demonstrated a mean posttreatment difference of -23.5 (95% CI: -31.7 to -15.3) and -5.4 (95% CI: -6.8 to -4.0), respectively. EpSS, FSS and SNOT-22 exceeded their respective reported MCID values. Objective findings did not significantly change with treatment; mean difference: AHI: 0.7 (95% CI: -1.5 to 2.9), oxygen nadir: 0.3 (95% CI: -0.4 to 0.9).

CONCLUSIONS

Treatment of CRS may lead to clinically meaningful reduction in disease burden and improvements in both overall sleep quality and patient-reported fatigue. Despite clinically meaningful quality of life improvements, objective sleep parameters did not demonstrate corresponding posttreatment improvements.

Abstract

Background

The olfactory system influences human social behavior, in particular the selection of a spouse. However, there is currently a lack of clinical research on the relationship between the olfactory system and erectile dysfunction (ED) in adult males.

Aim

We explored the association between olfactory sensitivity and erectile function and its possible mechanisms.

Results

A total of 574 patients, adult males aged between 19 and 42 years, diagnosed with ED in the Department of Infertility and Sexual Medicine of the Third Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University from 2015 to 2018 were analyzed retrospectively. Among them, 115 patients (20.03%) had rhinologic diseases (RDs). In addition, in 201 adult male patients who underwent nasal surgery in the ENT department from 2012 to 2016, including 29 (14.43%) with ED, nasal congestion, nasal discharge, and hyposmia were the most common complaints based on the numerical rating scale (NRS). Furthermore, a prospective study was performed in a total of 102 sequential outpatients (male adults) with RD only (n = 46), ED only (n = 42) and both RD and ED (n = 14) in 2019, together with 40 healthy (male adults) volunteers as controls. The results showed that ED patients with RD had severe nasal discomfort and decreased erectile function (P < 0.0001). The olfactory sensitivity of patients with ED was lower than that of the controls, and patients with both ED and RD had the worst olfactory sensitivity (P < 0.0001). Spearman correlation analyses showed that sense of smell was positively correlated with the International Index of Erectile Function-5 score (R = 0.507, P ≤ 0.0001) and the Erection Hardness Scale score (R = 0.341, P < 0.0001). Logistic regression analyses showed that having an olfactory disorder (OD), RD, age, and visual analog scale (VAS, over 5) score were risk factors for ED outcome, indicating that OD patients had a 16.479-fold increased risk for an ED outcome (P < 0.05).

Conclusion

A significant correlation was detected between olfactory sensitivity and erectile function in adult males. In particularly, impairment of olfactory sensitivity is more common in patients with both ED and RD than in patients suffering from a single disease.

Abstract

The studies evaluating the effect of smoking on olfaction reveals opposite results. In vitro and animal studies and epidemiological evidence from volunteers and patients, demonstrated the association between olfaction and erectile functions. In smoking man the reduction of olfactory acuity could adversely affect sexuality. The aim of the present study was to investigate the relationship between erectile dysfunction (ED) and olfactory dysfunction (OD) by comparing a group of healthy adult men with a group of smoking adult men. This prospective study involved 62 volunteers, who were recruited and divided into two groups; one consisted of 35 smoking adult men, and the other included 27 healthy non-smoking men. All participants in both groups were examined in detail for any condition with the potential to cause OD. They all had a normal genitourinary system suffered from no circulatory diseases, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, coronary artery disease nor hyperlipidemia; they had no history of medication affecting genitourinary system. Butanol threshold test and sniffin' stick® (Burghart, Wedel; Germany) screening test was used to asses olfactory functions in both groups. Participants' sexual desire was assessed using an International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF-5) scale. The means of sniffin' sticks scores, butanol threshold scores and IIEF-5 scores were statistically higher in non-smoking group. Butanol threshold scores and sniffin' sticks scores are correlated statistically with IIEF-5 in non-smoking and smoking groups. This study found an association between olfaction and erectile function in smoking and non-smoking men. As far as we know this study is the third published study to show the relationship olfactory and erectile function. In the future studies electrophysiological olfactory methods could be used to confirm in large cohorts the results obtained by the psychophysical approach.

Olfactory threshold for bourgeonal and sexual desire in young adult males. Med Hypotheses 2015;84:437-41.

Abstract

Olfactory receptors were found to be expressed also in human sperm giving rise to the hypothesis that they might play a role in fertility and sexual behavior. For instance, bourgeonal was demonstrated to be an agonist of sperm cells olfactory receptor, OR1D2. OR1D2 has been found to be expressed in human olfactory epithelium and to play a critical role in human sperm chemotaxis. Recent preliminary evidence showed that olfaction sensitivity (determined by n-butanol olfactory threshold) and sexual desire were associated in young adult males. It is reasonable to hypothesize that bourgeonal olfactory threshold could be related with human sexual behavior and desire. In 37 healthy young adult male volunteers (age range 20-36 years), the bourgeonal odor threshold and the intensity of sexual desire [the latter using the International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF) scale] were examined. In addition, samples of DNA were collected. Allele and genotype frequency of the OR1D2 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were then evaluated in order to study the relationship between sexual desire and OR1D2 SNPs expression. The olfactory threshold was categorized as <10, 10⩽threshold<15, 15⩽threshold<20, ⩾20. IIEF 1 and IIEF 2 scores were significantly associated. IIEF1 scores, but not IIEF2 scores were significantly associated with olfactory threshold. No statistically significant associations were found neither between genotypes frequency and sexual desire (IIEF1 and IIEF2), nor between genotypes frequency and olfactory threshold. Hypothesizing for the first time the relationship between bourgeonal olfactory sensitivity and sexual desire in a group of young adult males, the present study found a significant association between lower olfactory threshold for bourgeonal and stronger sexual desire, in terms of IIEF1.
