  • Penile Measurements in Normal Adult Jordanians and in Patients with Erectile Dysfunction
    International Journal of Impotence Research (2005) 17, 191–195 & 2005 Nature Publishing Group All rights reserved 0955-9930/05 $30.00 www.nature.com/ijir Penile measurements in normal adult Jordanians and in patients with erectile dysfunction Z Awwad1*, M Abu-Hijleh2, S Basri2, N Shegam3, M Murshidi1 and K Ajlouni3 1Department of Urology, Jordan University Hospital, Amman, Jordan; 2Jordan Center for the Treatment of Erectile Dysfunction, Amman, Jordan; and 3National Center for Diabetes, Endocrinology and Genetics, Amman, Jordan The purpose of this work was to determine penile size in adult normal (group one, 271) and impotent (group two, 109) Jordanian patients. Heights of the patients, the flaccid and fully stretched penile lengths were measured in centimeters in both groups. Midshaft circumference in the flaccid state was recorded in group one. Penile length in the fully erect penis was measured in group two. In group one mean midshaft circumference was 8.9871.4, mean flaccid length was mean 9.371.9, and mean stretched length was 13.572.3. In group two, mean flaccid length was 7.771.3, and mean stretched length was 11.671.4. The mean of fully erect penile length after trimex injection was 11.871.5. In group 1 there was no correlation between height and flaccid length or stretched length, but there was a significant correlation between height and midpoint circumference, flaccid and stretched lengths, and between stretched lengths and midpoint circumference. In group 2 there was no correlation between height and flaccid, stretched, or fully erect lengths. On the other hand, there was a significant correlation between the flaccid, stretched and fully erect lengths.

  • Assessment of Waist Circumference
    Assessment by Waist Circumference Although waist circumference and BMI are interrelated, waist circumference provides an independent prediction of risk over and above that of BMI. Waist circumference measurement is particularly useful in patients who are categorized as normal or overweight on the BMI scale. At BMIs ≥ 35, waist circumference has little added predictive power of disease risk beyond that of BMI. It is therefore not necessary to measure waist circumference in individuals with BMIs ≥ 35. Waist Circumference Measurement To measure waist circumference, locate the upper hip bone and the top of the right iliac crest. Place a measuring tape in a horizontal plane around the abdomen at the level of the iliac crest. Before reading the tape measure, ensure that the tape is snug, but does not compress the skin, and is parallel to the floor. The measurement is made at the end of a normal expiration. Measuring Tape Position for Waist (Abdominal) Circumference Classification of Overweight and Obesity by BMI, Waist Circumference, and Associated Disease Risk* BMI Disease Risk* Relative to Normal Obesity Class (kg/m2) Weight and Waist Circumference Men ≤ 40 in. Men > 40 in. Women ≤ 35 in. Women > 35 in. Normal+ 18.5 - 24.9 ---- ---- Overweight 25.0 - 29.9 Increased High Obesity 30.0 – 34.9 I High Very High 35.0 – 39.9 II Very High Very High Extreme Obesity ≥ 40 III Extremely High Extremely High * Disease risk for type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and CVD. +Increased waist circumference can also be a marker for increased risk even in persons of normal weight.

  • Waist-Hip Ratio
    Waist-Hip Ratio Clinical S.O.P. No.: 7 Version 1.0 Compiled by: Approved by: Review date: November 2016 Waist-Hip Ratio S.O.P. No. 7 Version 1.0 DOCUMENT HISTORY Version Detail of purpose / change Author / edited Date edited number by 1.0 New SOP Shona Brearley All SDRN SOPs can now be downloaded from: http://www.sdrn.org.uk/?q=node/45 2 of 4 Waist-Hip Ratio S.O.P. No. 7 Version 1.0 1. Introduction Waist-to-hip ratio looks at the proportion of fat stored on the body around the waist and hips. It is a simple but useful measure of fat distribution. Most people store their body fat in two distinct ways: around their middle (apple shape) and around their hips (pear shape). Having an apple shape (carrying extra weight around the stomach) is riskier for your health than having a pear shape (carrying extra weight around your hips or thighs). This is because body shape and health risk are linked. If you have more weight around your waist you have a greater risk of lifestyle related diseases such as heart disease and diabetes than those with weight around their hips. 2. Objectives To describe the procedure for the measurement of waist and hips and to promote uniformity within the SDRN in accordance with ICH GCP guidelines. 3. Responsibilities Research nurses must be trained in the hip/waist measurement, using the centimetres equipment supplied in accordance with ICH GCP guidelines. The Research Nurse must consider if a chaperone is required for this procedure.

  • Best & Worst Foods for Belly
    BEST & WORST FOODS FOR BELLY FAT Belly fat is worse for you than fat elsewhere on your body. • YOUR ANSWER: True Excess accumulation of belly fat is more dangerous than excess fat around your hips and thighs. Belly fat is associated with serious health problems, such as heart disease, stroke, and type 2 diabetes. Your genes can contribute to your being overweight and help determine where you carry this extra fat, but poor lifestyle choices are likely to worsen the issue. Fatty foods, such as butter, cheese, and fatty meats, are the biggest cause of belly fat. • YOUR ANSWER: True • CORRECT ANSWER: False Eating high-fat foods is not helpful, but excess calories of any kind can increase your waistline and contribute to belly fat. Still, there is no single cause of belly fat. Genetics, diet, age, and lifestyle can all play a role. Changing dietary habits can help you fight the battle of the bulge and fight belly fat: Read labels, reduce saturated fats, increase the amount of fruits and veggies you eat, and control and reduce your portions. BEST & WORST FOODS FOR BELLY FAT Calories from alcohol are worse for belly fat than other calories. • YOUR ANSWER: True Excess calories -- whether from alcohol, sweetened beverages, or oversized portions of food -- can increase belly fat. Our bodies need calories, yet gram for gram, alcohol has almost as many calories as fat. Alcohol does seem to have a particular association with an increased waistline, though. In general, that’s because when you drink alcohol, your liver is too busy burning off alcohol to burn off fat, leaving you with a beer belly.

  • Posture for a Healthy Back
    Posture for a Healthy Back Overview Good posture involves training your body to stand, walk, sit and lie in positions where the least strain is placed on supporting muscles and ligaments during movement or weight-bearing activities. If any of the following guidelines causes an increase of back pain or spreading of pain to the legs, do not continue the activity and seek the advice of a doctor or physical therapist. The spinal curves Your spine has natural curves that form an S- shape. Viewed from the side, the cervical and lumbar spines have a lordotic, or slight concave curve, and the thoracic spine has a kyphotic, or gentle convex curve. The spine’s curves work like a coiled spring to absorb shock, maintain balance, and to facilitate the full range of motion throughout the spinal column (see Anatomy of the Spine). These curves are maintained by two muscle groups, flexors and extensors. The flexor muscles are in the front and include the abdominal muscles. These muscles enable us to flex, or bend forward, and are important in lifting and controlling the arch in the lower back. The extensor muscles are in the back. These muscles allow us to stand upright and lift objects. Working together these muscle groups act as guy wires to stabilize your spine. What is good posture? The spine has three natural curves, a concave cervical and Posture is the position in which you hold your body lumbar curve, and a gentle convex thoracic curve. upright against gravity while standing, sitting or lying down. Good posture involves training your body to stand, walk, sit and lie in positions where the least strain is placed on supporting muscles and ligaments during movement or weight-bearing activities.
