Those who take erectile dysfunction drugs such as Viagra and Cialis may experience an additional health benefit beyond help with sexual performance. A large observational investigation published January 13 in the Journal of Sexual Medicine revealed that men who regularly took a specific type of erectile dysfunction (ED) medication had a 25 percent lower chance of dying prematurely than men with ED who did not take these pills. Use of Erectile Dysfunction Drugs Correlates With Multiple Heart Benefits Researchers analyzed the health records of more than 70,000 men with erectile dysfunction and found that those who were prescribed Viagra (sildenafil), Cialis (tadalafil), Levitra (vardenafil), or similar drugs called phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE-5) inhibitors also had: 39 percent lower death rate due to heart disease 22 percent lower death rate due to unstable angina (where the heart doesn't get enough blood flow and oxygen) 17 percent lower rate of heart failure 15 percent lower rat...

The American College of Physicians (ACP) has issued updated guidelines for the treatment of major depressive disorder (MDD). The recommendations include both nonpharmacologic and pharmacologic interventions for adults in the acute phase of MDD based on a systematic review of available evidence. For initial treatment of moderate to severe MDD, ACP recommends monotherapy with either cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) or a second generation antidepressant (eg, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors [SSRIs], serotonin norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors [SNRIs], bupropion, mirtazapine, nefazodone, trazodone, vilazodone, vortioxetine). If an antidepressant is initiated, the guidelines suggest starting treatment with a low dose to reduce the chances of side effects and improve adherence. A combination of CBT and second generation antidepressant as initial treatment was also suggested as an alternative treatment option. For patients with moderate to severe MDD who do no...

Demodex folliculorum and Demodex brevis are commensal human ectoparasites that reside within or near hair follicles. Numerous studies have found significantly higher populations of inflammatory cells in skin biopsies of patients with rosacea-like papulopustular skin eruptions containing high Demodex counts [1]. Blepharitis and meibomian gland dysfunction have also been associated with demodicosis [2]. More extensive inflammation with a more diffuse facial and truncal distribution is seen with demodicosis secondary to immunosuppression [3]. Demodicosis is known to occur in the context of immunosuppression [4,5]. Demodicosis following oral antifungals is a unique association not previously reported. Here, we present a case of demodicosis following treatment with fluconazole. In 2019, a 56-year-old man with a history of metastatic melanoma, treated most recently with nivolumab complicated by pneumonitis requiring high-dose prednisone and infliximab, developed a pruritic pustular...
