“…In our study, while the ASEX total score and arousal sub‐scale score decreased significantly in patients who switched to PP3M ( p = 0.015; p = 0.020, respectively), there was no significant change in other sub‐scales. Previously in the literature, it has been reported that there is a positive correlation between body mass index and ASEX scores (Gonenir Erbay et al., 2017; Kolotkin et al., 2006; SA. M. A. Smith et al., 2012).…”

Objective Long‐acting injectable (LAI) antipsychotics were developed to improve adherence to schizophrenia treatment. Paliperidone palmitate (PP) has two LAI forms: Monthly (PP1M) and three‐monthly (PP3M). PP3M shows less difference in Peak‐to‐Trough drug concentration levels. This could be related to a lower incidence of hyperprolactinemia, which may negatively affect adherence. We aimed to compare prolactin levels and investigate relationships between prolactin levels, symptomatology and sexual function in patients with schizophrenia after switching from PP1M to PP3M. Methods Twenty‐five patients were enrolled. The sociodemographic data form, the Positive and Negative Syndromes Scale (PANSS) and the Arizona Sexual Experience Scale (ASEX) were used. Morning blood samples were drawn to determine prolactin levels. Results Prolactin level (p < 0.001), the total score and arousal sub‐score of ASEX (respectively; p = 0.015, p = 0.020) and the total score and positive scale of PANSS (respectively; p = 0.017, p = 0.021) were decreased on the 90th day (±15 days). Conclusions After switching to PP3M, the decreases in prolactin levels and potentially related sexual side effects was statistically significant. There may be a difference between two formulations of the same drug in terms of side effects, and there is a need for prospective follow‐up studies with larger samples.

Purpose: To evaluate the sexual quality of life and self-esteem of obese women and the relationship between them.Design and Methods: This is a descriptive and cross-sectional study. A descriptive questionnaire, Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, and Sexual Quality of Life Questionnaire were used to collect the data. Findings: Participants had a moderate level of self-esteem. The mean scores of the participants were 50.45 + 10.23 for Sexual Quality of Life Questionnaire. A positive correlation was found between self-esteem and sexual quality of life. Practice Implications: High self-esteem is positively correlated with quality of sexual life in obese woman. Physical activity increases self-esteem and sexual quality of life. Obesity impairs sexual quality of life among obese women. K E Y W O R D S obesity, self-esteem, sexual quality of life 1 | INTRODUCTION Obesity is one of the most serious health issues that have emerged as a result of a changing social, economic, cultural, and physical environment. 1 It may cause many physiological disorders such as diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, cancers, and coronary artery diseases. 2 Obesity does not cause only adverse physiological effects on the human body. There are also psychological effects. Being criticized and socially excluded due to obesity-related reasons may lead to a decrease in the self-esteem of individuals. 3 Studies have stated that obese individuals have low self-esteem, 4 and self-esteem decreases with increasing body mass index (BMI). 5 It has been still discussed whether low self-esteem experienced by an obese individual is a reason or a cause of obesity.Sexuality is a part of human life and enhances the quality of life of individuals. According to the studies, obesity has a negative effect on sexual quality of life. 6,7 The prevalence of sexual dysfunction is also increasing among chronic diseases caused by obesity. 8 The prevalence of obesity is higher in women in Turkey. 9 Lifestyle changes and medical treatments are used for the treatment of obesity. It is required to know the mood of the individuals to develop positive lifestyle changes and keep obesity under control. Nurses are healthcare professionals in the medical team who spend time with patients most frequently and for a long time. For this reason, nurses have a significant role in evaluating the psychological parameters for obese women such as self-esteem and sexual quality of life. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the relationship between the sexual quality of life and self-esteem of obese women. | MATERIALS AND METHODS | Study design and sampleThis is a descriptive and cross-sectional study. The population of the study consisted of women with obesity who applied to the dietician department of a university hospital. The study sample was calculated as 90 women using n = t 2 •p•q /d 2 , the formula that is used when the population is unknown. The study conducted between September 2019 and December 2019.The inclusion criteria for the women were determined as follows: being at the age ...

This study aims to analyze the outcomes of morbidly obese patients who underwent ureterorenoscopy in the treatment of distal ureteral stones. Methods: The data of morbidly obese patients (>18 years of age) who underwent ureterorenoscopy for distal ureteral stones were examined retrospectively. Patients' demographic data, stone size, hydronephrosis degree, postoperative stent use, operation time, body mass index (BMI), hospital stay time, complication and stone-free rates were analyzed. Results: The study population included 29 morbidly obese patients (19 males and 10 females) with a mean age of 50.02±14.1 years. The average stone size was 28.58±8.55 mm. The mean operation time was 73.24±20.2 minutes, and the mean hospital stay was 1.65±1.14 days. We found the success rate to be 93.1%. Postoperative follow-up revealed urinary tract infection in one patient, and severe colic pain in two patients. Four patients had hematuria lasting less than 24 hours and requiring no blood transfusion. There was no major complication causing morbidity or mortality in any patient. Conclusion: Ureterorenoscopy is an effective treatment modality for the treatment of distal ureteral stones in patients with morbid obesity.
