RESUMO
The different aspects that contribute to quality of life in patients with diabetes mellitus, such as mood, are of great importance for the treatment of this disease. These aspects not only influence the well-being of patients but also influence treatment adherence, therefore affecting the course of the disease. A panel of experts from Argentina, Chile, and Uruguay performed a review of the main aspects affecting quality of life in patients with diabetes: physical activity, mood disorders, and sexual activity. The consensus of the panel was that physical activity is important in the treatment of patients with diabetes because it reduces morbidity, mortality, and disease complications, and it should be performed on a regular basis, bearing in mind the patient's characteristics. Increased physical activity is associated with better glycemic control, and in individuals with glucose intolerance, it delays progression toward diabetes. In patients with diabetes, there is a high prevalence of depression, which can influence treatment adherence. Therefore, early detection of depression is essential to improve the course of diabetes. Regarding sexual activity, erectile dysfunction may be a significant sign in the case of suspected diabetes and the early diagnosis of vasculopathy in patients with diabetes. In conclusion, greater emphasis should be placed on improving patient knowledge, early detection, and multidisciplinary approaches to deal with the aspects of diabetes that affect patients' quality of life.

Sexual dysfunctions caused by the use of antidepressants are relatively common. Agomelatine has demonstrated antidepressant properties in comparative studies with sertraline, fluoxetine, and venlafaxine as active controls. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of agomelatine on sexual response. Acutely depressed patients (n = 25) treated with agomelatine (25-50 mg/day) were evaluated over 12 weeks. Agomelatine showed a favorable response on depressive symptoms using the Montgomery-Åsberg Depression Rating Scale throughout the study. The Clinical Global Impression improvement score at the end of the study was 1.70 (SD = 0.89). The author assessed sexual response using the Arizona Sexual Experiences Scale, the International Index of Erectile Function, and a Visual Analogue Scale for desire, arousal, time, and intensity of orgasm and vaginal lubrication. Arizona Sexual Experiences Scale scores improved after 3 weeks of treatment, mainly attributable to an improvement in women rather than in men. The Visual Analogue Scale showed improvement in all stages of sexual response in women, with minimal changes in men. Clinical Satisfaction Scores at the end of the study for all patients were 7.00 (SD = 1.53). In conclusion, agomelatine appears to be a good option for the treatment of depression because it would not have adverse effects on sexual function.

It is intented to show two apparently antithetic poles: Sexuality and Death, in fact interpenetrate themselves, disguising the fear of death, or the desire to die, Eros' world. Different expressions of culture are analyzed, especially the one known as The Profane Time, the time for work, which is characterized by the submission to interdicts (prohibitions) and, on the other hand, the Time for Joy or The Sacred Time, characterized by the transgression of such prohibitions. Its relationship with the interdicts'violations in the sexual as well as in the death arena is analyzed in order to connect the human being's fear in the presence of the unrestraint, the overflow and the abandonment of the time established for work that would imply free sexuality. The latter is connected with some conclusions that could be considered useful in the field of Sexual Therapies, with a certain critical look at the mechanist settlement applied to those treatments.

OBJETIVOS: Este estudio abierto naturalistico evalua eficacia y seguridad del citrato de sildenafil en el tratamiento de 64 pacientes con disfuncion erectil de causas organicas, medicamentosas, psicogenicas o mixtas, durante tres meses. METODOS: Se trata de un estudio abierto con una duracion de 8 a 10 entrevistas, a lo largo de 12 a 16 semanas, con un total de 64 pacientes varones, mayores de 18. Se utilizaron escalas de evaluacion, ademas de diversos examenes complementarios (MTPN o RigiScan, analisis de sangre, Doppler, drogas intracavernosas, tests psicologicos, ergometrias - segun los casos -). La dosis inicial empleada fue de 25 - 50 y 100 mg, en ciertos casos llegando a esta ultima dosis luego de ser negativo en dos oportunidades con 50 mg. Podia usarse medicacion concomitante, para la disfuncion erectil o para cuadros clinicos padecidos por esos pacientes; tambien se aceptaban - para este trabajo - variantes de correccion de factores de riesgo para la disfuncion erectil y el empleo de tecnicas psicoterapeuticas especificas (individuales o de pareja). RESULTADOS: El sildenafil ha demonstrado una alta efectividad, con gran margen de seguridad en los sintomas de disfuncion erectil de distintas etiologias, con baja aparicion de efectos adversos, de grado leve, que nunca llevaron a la descontinuacion por este medicamento. La dosis media utilizada fue de 50 mg suministrada preferentemente lejos de las comidas y con la toma entre 45 y 60 antes del encuentro sexual. La causa mas frecuente de abandono del farmaco se debio a que muchos de los pacientes lograron erecciones suficientes para penetrar sin el uso del sildenafil luego de las 10 a 12 semanas. CONCLUSION: Se puede observar una correlacion positiva entre la administracion del sildenafil, con dosis media de 50 mg (aunque en algunos casos fue positivo con 25 mg y en otros casos fue necesario su aumento a 100 mg) y la resolucion de la disfuncion erectil en pacientes con causas organicas, psicogenicas o mixtas; con gran tolerabilidad y aceptacion, y baja aparicion de efectos adversos leves.

Se intenta mostrar como dos polos aparentemente antiteticos, la muerte y la sexualidad, en realidad se interpenetran, siendo el temor a la muerte, o el deseo de ella, el mundo del Eros. Se analizan diversas manifestaciones de la cultura y en particular lo que se dio en llamar el tiempo profano, del trabajo, caracterizado por el sometimiento a los interdictos en el campo del sexo y de la muerte y, por otro lado, el tiempo sagrado caracterizado por la transgresion de esas prohibiciones. Se conecta luego el temor del ser humano ante el desborde, el descontrol y el abandono del tiempo del trabajo que implicaria la sexualidad. Esto se liga con ciertas conclusiones que pueden ser de utilidad en el campo de las Terapias Sexuales con una mirada critica sobre el reduccionismo mecanicista aplicado a veces a estos tratamientos.

Las disfunciones sexuales debidas al uso de antidepresivos (IMAO, tricíclicos, ISRS)son relativamente comunes y pueden llevar a la no aceptación (non compliance) del fármaco o a la deserción del tratamiento. Pacientes medicados con diferentes drogas antidepresivas consultan por disminución de la libido, retardo orgásmico (en ambos sexos), disfunción eréctil o menor lubricación vaginal. Esto puede empeorar en pacientes con historias previas de disfunciones sexuales y es por eso que los psiquiatras tratantes deberían realizar una cuidadosa historia clínica antes de establecer el tratamiento. La incidencia de los diferentes antidepresivos, especialmente los ISRS, en la esfera sexual será enfatizada al igual que el manejo del profesional ante la aparición de estas reacciones adversas en el área sexual con intervenciones que van desde el suministro de información hasta la reducción de la dosis, el cambio del medicamento con otros antidepresivos que tengan menores efectos secundarios , descansar en la toma de medicación por unos días ('drug holidays'), el agregado de distintas medicaciones que neutralicen eses efectos disfuncionales hasta la implementación de una terapia breve y focalizada. También se explicitará el uso los ISRS en casos como: fobias sociales y sexuales, ataques de pánico, eyaculación precoz , vaginismo; donde pueden ser beneficiosos considerando la dosis útil y su adecuado manejo para lograr la aceptación de los pacientes(AU)
