Evaluation of Psychopathologies and Health-Related Quality of Life in Patients With Macular Amyloidosis / Evaluación de psicopatologías y calidad de vida relacionada con la salud en pacientes con amiloidosis macular

Macular amyloidosis (MA) is a skin condition with predominance in young women. We aimed to evaluate quality of life (QoL) and psychopathologies in these patients. In this cross-sectional study, patients with MA referring to the Imam Reza Hospital, Mashhad during 2018–2020, and their matched controls were included. Participants completed the 36-item short form survey (SF-36), the revised symptom checklist-90 (SCL-90-R), and the dermatology life quality index (DLQI). Overall, 40 women with a mean age of 36.80±10.19 years were studied. In the MA group, the SF-36 score was lower (P<0.001), and the SCL-90-R score was higher (P<0.001). The DLQI score was correlated with age (r=0.447; P=0.048) and pruritus severity (r=0.776; P<0.001), and was lower in patients with uncovered lesions (P=0.005). MA was associated with impaired QoL, which was determined by pruritus severity and lesion location; these patients can benefit from psychiatric interventions in this regard (AU)

La amiloidosis macular (AM) es una situación cutánea con predominancia en mujeres jóvenes. Nuestro objetivo fue evaluar la calidad de vida (QoL) y las psicopatologías en estos pacientes. En este estudio transversal se incluyó a pacientes con AM derivados al Hospital Imam Reza, de Mashhad, de 2018 a 2020, así como a sus controles pareados. Los participantes completaron la encuesta SF-36 (formulario breve de 36 ítems), el test de los 90 síntomas revisado (SCL-90-R) y el índice de calidad de vida en dermatología (DLQI). A nivel global, se estudió a 40 mujeres con una edad media de 36,80±10,19 años. En el grupo AM, la puntuación SF-36 fue más baja (p<0,001), siendo más alta la puntuación SCL-90-R (p<0,001). La puntuación DLQI se correlacionó con la edad (r=0,447; p=0,048) y con la severidad del prurito (r=0,776; p<0,001), siendo más baja en las pacientes con lesiones sin cubrir (p=0,005). La AM estuvo asociada a un deterioro de la QoL, que vino determinada por la severidad del prurito y la localización de la lesión. A este respecto, dichas pacientes pueden beneficiarse de intervenciones psiquiátricas (AU)

Evaluación de la vida sexual y de la satisfacción matrimonial en pacientes con verruga anogenital / Evaluation of Sexual Life and Marital Satisfaction in Patients with Anogenital Wart

Las verrugas anogenitales (VAG) debidas al virus papiloma humano son una de las enfermedades de trasmisión sexual más comunes en todo el mundo. El objetivo de este trabajo fue evaluar los efectos de las VAG en la satisfacción matrimonial y en la actividad sexual de los pacientes. Presentamos un estudio transversal que incluyó 74 pacientes consecutivos, de los cuales 37 presentaban VAG y los 37 sujetos restantes eran controles sanos. Todos los pacientes completaron y fueron analizados por la Escala de satisfacción matrimonial de ENRICH y la Escala Arizona de experiencias sexuales. Los ítems de la escala ENRICH no mostraron diferencias significativas entre los 2 grupos. La actividad sexual fue menor en las mujeres que en los hombres (p<0,001). De acuerdo con nuestros hallazgos la satisfacción conyugal no se vio afectada por las VAG. Sin embargo, el tratamiento previo del virus del papiloma humano redujo la satisfacción marital. A todo ello hay que añadir que la VAG mostró más efectos adversos sobre la actividad sexual de las mujeres que sobre la de los hombres. Nuestros hallazgos sugieren que se debe considerar el uso de tratamientos psiquiátricos en el manejo del paciente con VAG

Anogenital wart (AGW) resulting from human papilloma virus (HPV) is one of the most common sexually transmitted diseases worldwide. Herein, we aimed to evaluate the effects of AGW on patients' marital satisfaction and sexual function. This cross-sectional study was consisted of 74 consecutive patients including 37 patients with AGW and 37 healthy controls. ENRICH Marital Satisfaction Scale and Arizona Sexual Experience Scale were completed and analyzed for all patients. ENRICH scale items were not significantly different between the two groups. Sexual function was found to be lower in female than male patients (P<.001). According to our findings marital satisfaction was not affected by AGW. However, a history of previous treatment for HPV decreased the marital satisfaction. In addition, AGW had more adverse effects on females' sexual function compared to males. Our findings suggest that the psychiatric treatments should be considered when managing an AGW patient
