“…The MiniMental scale may not be sensitive enough to detect potential small changes of cognitive function or does not include the areas susceptible to hormonal changes, but it is still a scale commonly used in psychiatric practice. However, we are convinced that the small number of patients who were enrolled to other studies (from 14 to 65 patients) could produce confounding data . The present study is a comparison of 88 subjects after pharmacological castration with 61 men without adjuvant treatment.…”

“…Furthermore, estrogen replacement therapy has been reported to decrease anxiety in postmenopausal women (Yazici et al, 2003). In men, a similar but less abrupt decline in androgen levels with age is also often accompanied by symptoms of anxiety and depression (Kaminetsky, 2005; Lund et al, 1999; Eskelinen et al, 2007; Cooper and Richie, 2000). Androgen treatment of aging men, or of younger men with decreased testicular production of testosterone (T), ameliorates some of these symptoms (Amore et al, 2009; Genazzani et al, 2004; Seidman et al, 2009; Kaminetsky, 2005; Cooper and Richie, 2000; Kumano, 2007).…”

“…30,31 In men, deficiency of testosterone results in decreased body mass and depression. 32,33 Hormone replacement does not necessarily improve the clinical situation of patients, given that high doses of corticosteroids and growth hormone do not show beneficial effects in critical illnesses. 34,35 To investigate whether EEF could affect hormonal changes caused by TBI, we compared the hormonal status of TBI patients admitted to a regional intensive care unit (ICU) who were supported by either delayed enteral feeding (DEF; standard enteral feeding) or EEF.…”
