The association between hyperlipidaemia and ED has been studied in apparently healthy men who complained of ED (13), Over 60% had hyperlipidaemia and 90% of these had evidence of penile arterial disease using Doppler ultrasound studies, Diabetes is commonly associated with ED with a prevalence of 50% (range 27-70% depending on age and disease severity). The onset of ED usually occurs within the first 10 years of the diagnosis of diabetes (14).

A 64-year-old man developed a right hemiparesis after taking one dose of doxazosin 4 mg for prostatic symptoms. A CT scan of the brain and carotid ultrasound studies were normal. He recovered most of his neurological function within a few days. Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring after treatment with doxazosin 2 mg showed striking blood pressure reduction during sleep.

The primary study end-point was incidence of DVT and other thromboembolic events assessed clinically and by both locally and centrally assessed ultrasonography. The duplex-ultrasounds of the lower extremities were used to confirm or exclude the occurrence of DVT. These procedures were performed and interpreted by qualified specialists within the same hospi-tal/institution on a real-time basis for the timely and appropriate chnical care of the patient Furthermore, duplex ultrasound studies were videotaped for a subsequent standardized bhnded interpretation by a quahfied, independent laboratory that provided an unbiased evaluation of the incidence of DVT. ThromboemboHc events other than DVT that occurred during the study period were assessed, and the investigator estabhshed the clinical relationship of the event to treatment with rhAT. Secondary end-points were safety, adverse events and immunogenicity.

Intravenous fluids were started, he was not allowed to take anything by mouth, a nasogastric tube was passed and placed on constant suction, and symptomatic therapy was started for pain and nausea. When his condition had stabilized, Michael was sent for an ultrasonographic (ultrasound) study of his upper abdomen. 

The upper abdominal ultrasound study showed a large gallstone lodged in yw) WmSichel s common duct with dilation of this duct proximal to the stone.

As with any ultrasound study the quality and diagnostic rate is determined by the operator. However, it has been shown that 100% accuracy rate can be achieved by 3rd and 4th year radiology residents who had completed a 3- to 5-month training period in adult sonography (Verschelden et al. 1992).
