...Erectile Dysfunction The ability to experience pleasure in various ways is one of the fundamental aspects of being alive. As human beings we can take these experiences and heighten them through contemplation and anticipation. Of these experiences, perhaps the most powerful in terms of ecstasy is sex. In addition to concerns of pleasurable experience, sex is the method by which we continue human life. The desire to produce offspring is deeply embedded in our nature. Because of this power, when for some reason or another we loose the ability to fully experience it, our 2 lives as a whole are diminished. It is no wonder then that a topic such as erectile dysfunction is a huge concern for the quality of life of millions of men, and by extension women as well. John Hopkins University estimates that ED affects almost thirty million Americans, and as much as thirty percent aged forty to seventy. In addition a study in 1999 showed that physician visits for cases of ED had doubled since 1985 (as cited in"Erectile Dysfunction", 2005). Considering the impact of this disorder we are compelled as a society to understand it. In order to find possible solutions to this problem we must first identify what it is, and what may cause it. Through this comes an understanding of not only what we can do to treat erectile dysfunction, but also what it means in terms of our society and what we value. Erectile dysfunction is described by the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney...

...Case study: Erectile dysfunction from torture by Laleh Yaghoubi The following is a case study of a male client, Mubilajeh, suffering from a sexual disorder (impotence). Erectile disorder, the inability to have an erection or maintain one, is currently the most common sexual disorder among men (Hyde 468). One result of erectile disorder is that the man cannot engage in sexual intercourse. For many men, including this individual, psychological reactions to erectile disorder may be severe: embarrassment, depression, and anxiety. The client was diagnosed and given an assessment with the goal of determining the factors. Through a process of discovery, the client's history finally revealed that the impotence was actually a result of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) caused by a past experience. People with PTSD fear re-experiencing a traumatic event and sometimes are unable to remember certain aspects (Barlow 138). However, through psychoanalytic therapy, this client illustrates a successful recovery. Patient This section presents a brief patient assessment, including a case history of the client considered in the study. Mubilajeh, thin proportioned and nearly seven feet tall, is a thirty-year-old African male originally from Nigeria. He is a peaceful and proud African man. He has been married to his wife, Zhane, for nine years, and they hope to have children very soon. At the age of fourteen, Mubilajeh's father passed away, which left his...

...American InterContinental University MGMT422-1301A-01: Professor William Becker February 12, 2013 Innovation is defined as, “something new or different introduced” or, “introduction of new things or methods” (Innovation, 2013). Innovation may be interpreted differently from one person to the next. With individuals that do business, innovation can be interpreted as converting thoughts into capital, making financial worth for consumers, favorable circumstances which can make jobs, or upgrading something that presently exists. One must keep in mind that if innovation did not exist, business as we know it could fall apart. There are several innovative things that have been popularized over the past few decades. To name a few, there are: digital cameras, the Internet, and the Nintendo Wii. I have decided to discuss Viagra because I think this was an accident as well as a miracle for certain individuals with E.D. The reason I say that this medication was found by accident is because it was originally intended for high blood pressure patients, but it was discovered to be very helpful to males that had E.D. It enabled men to take back control of their sex lives with the aid of a little blue pill (Parnham, 2004). If this is not considered innovation, then what is? When the primary clinical trials happened, Viagra didn’t have a lot of effect on patients with hypertension; however, it gave males an erection. When the second clinical trial took place, they chose to keep...

The testicles continue to produce sperm, but they die and are absorbed by the body. * There are 4 types of vasectomies: * Traditional vasectomy – the doctor will make an incision on the scrotum, allowing access to the vas deferens, which will then be cut. * No-scalpel vasectomy – the doctor cut the vas deferens via a small hole on the scrotum. * Clip vasectomy – small clamps are used to block the vas deferens instead of severing it. * Laser vasectomy – the vase deferens are cut and cauterized with a surgical laser * The vasectomy procedure prevents the release of sperm when a man ejaculates. The man will still produce semen, but will be sperm free. * Vasectomies may be reversed, however...

...lung's arteries. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration previously asked Pfizer to test Revatio in children with pulmonary hypertension. Pfizer conducted the studies and has applied for FDA approval to market Revatio for use in children; an FDA decision is expected in May. Federal law provides for such extensions of exclusivity as an incentive for drug makers to test products that may be helpful to children. During exclusivity periods, competing generic copies are generally prohibited from entering the market. The FDA granted the six-month pediatric extension for sildenafil on Feb. 9, according to the FDA website. The patent extension applies to any drug containing sildenafil, even Viagra, which is only approved for use by men with erectile dysfunction and not for use by children. As a result, the U.S. period of exclusivity for Viagra would extend by six months until April 2020, said Pfizer spokeswoman Victoria Davis. That is based on a patent due to expire in 2019, which covers sildenafil's use to treat ED. This patent was upheld by a federal judge last year, though Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. (TEVA), which challenged the patent's validity, has appealed that decision. The basic patent for sildenafil was due to expire in March 2012. The pediatric exclusivity period now extends to...

...One sexual dysfunction that can affect both men and women is sexual arousal disorder. For men, sexual arousal disorder causes the inability to get and maintain an erection. Some men with this disorder experience erectile problems with certain sexual partners but not with others, while other men are unable to perform sexually in any situation. Male erectile disorder can be caused by more than one thing, from alcohol to performance anxiety. Sometimes when a man has problems maintaining an erection one time, he can worry about it happening again, therefore lessening his chances of becoming erect. There are drug treatments available for men with erectile dysfunction that can assist with achieving an erection. Other ways that men can help themselves to perform sexually is to avoid alcohol and to relax and not be consumed by past erectile failures. Fatigue is also a cause for erectile dysfunction, so getting enough rest is important. Women with sexual arousal disorder can have difficulty becoming lubricated enough for sex to be comfortable. They can also have trouble with getting sexually excited. Like with males, female sexual arousal disorder can be caused by more than one thing. Nerve damage from diabetes, low estrogen, lessened skin sensitivity, and psychological reasons can make sexual activity difficult for women. There are treatments that can replace hormones in women, which can help with vaginal dryness. If a woman’s skin is not sensitive, extra time and effort can be taken...

...CIALIS Case Analysis: Cialis Cialis is a prescription drug developed by the pharmaceutical company Lilly ICOS LLC, to treat Erectile Dysfunction (ED). The challenges include the need to launch Cialis on the market, where ED is an extremely sensitive topic of discussion and where there is already an established leader Viagra. Marketing Analysis Customers: Men who suffer from ED are targeted by Cialis. Especially the current unsatisfied Viagra users, Viagra dropouts and those who never used Viagra (Exhibit 1). Patients who experience Viagra’s side effects (e.g. blurred vision) or want a longer half-life time are looking for alternatives, which is Cialis (Exhibit 6). The importance of the drug is high because being sexually incompetent affects the personal lives of the potential customers. However, due to issues associated with the early launch of Viagra (130 deaths), some customers are afraid to try the drug. Moreover, men who are younger than 50 years, feel embarrassed to talk about the problem and hope the symptoms to go away (Exhibit 3). The perception of ED differs across the 5 possible markets of Cialis, with customers from US and UK being the most open and willing to seek help, while Europeans (German, French) remain more skeptical (Exhibit 4). To summarize, the dimensions along which customers can be segmented are age, geographical region, presence of a sexual partner and Viagra usage history Company: Strength of Lilly ICOS LLC is that its net income as % Sales...

...Introduction In 2002, product leaders from the Biotech start-up ICOS, and Eli Lilly prepared to take a new erectile dysfunction medication to the market. Cialis would be positioned in a market which was currently dominated by Viagra, an erectile dysfunction medication that had been introduced by Pfizer in 1998. In the following case analysis, I will examine the process used by Lilly ICOS, LLC to bring Cialis to market. Utilizing the Harvard Business School Case “Product Team Cialis: Getting Ready to Market” I will point out certain facts surrounding the case, and highlight key issues. Alternative courses of action around bringing the product to market will be identified and evaluated. Finally, a recommended course of action for the company will be discussed. Facts Surrounding the Case At the time that Cialis was developed as an erectile dysfunction (ED) treatment, that landscape was being dominated by a single player. Viagra, developed by Pfizer, was released four years prior and enjoyed great success over the previous three years. Viagra, whose main ingredient is Sildenafil, was generating over $1 billion in sales for Pfizer year over year for the previous three years (Ofek, 2010). While Viagra was successful in its initial years in the initial market, it was not without its problems. Patient satisfaction with Viagra was below 50% in all markets with the exception of Germany and Italy. Viagra was only effective for hours post dosage, and was affected by the consumption...

...Louis martin English 1301 Paper: #2 attempt #1 Tuesdays & Thursdays Class I feel the overall message of the Viagra ad is that erectile dysfunction can be embarrassing, something that most will not speak up about. It is however also common among men that need not do anything but mention it to their doctors to solve it. Also it is a real problem. The manufacturing company Pfizer wants the consumer (whoever it is looking at the ad) to think that this is a serious problem but not a hopeless one. Also it is important to talk to your doctor before and while using this product. Seems to be a message that is heavily repeated or supported in this article. It also focuses a good bit on the side effects, but the bulk of the attention is paid to consulting your doctor about use of this product. But more so getting information about the product. This makes me feel that the product is somewhat more harmful than the ad wants me to believe it is. Pfizer, the company responsible for making Viagra available to people (men) all over the world posted this ad in Bloomberg business week magazine on September 10, 2012. I feel that the overall message that is brought out in the Viagra ad is that most men don’t say or won’t admit when they need help. This is what I think that the comment “you may be a man of few words”, seems almost to be poking fun at. Men in general or rather the storical types that don’t ask for proper help when in need. The ad implores you to ask about it, and assures...

There are many innovative products that have been introduced throughout the years. Digital cameras, MP3 players, the Internet, Kindle, Nintendo Wii and sliced bread are among many innovative products that have been introduced. The product that I have chosen that I believe was an accidental innovative product in a Godsend for many individuals is Viagra.

... tends to spread like wildfire because they are easily seen by others. Every time someone in a meeting pulls out a Palm device to jot a note, the company gets another endorsement of its popular PDA. But insightful companies have discovered that products can be made visible. One way is to create forums, such as Internet chat groups, where customers can exchange information about a product – such as a new medical treatment – that might otherwise have remained hidden. Often, creative approaches are needed to facilitate the discussion. Pfizer, the maker of Viagra, faced an uphill battle when trying to generate buzz for its breakthrough drug, because impotence was a taboo subject. But by pop- ularizing the medical terms “erectile dysfunction” and “ED,” the company transformed the undiscussable into fodder for the bedroom and backyard alike. Myth 2: Buzz just happens. Many people believe that buzz is largely serendipitous. Not so. We have found that buzz is increasingly the result of carefully managed marketing programs. Savvy managers have a portfolio of marketing tactics from which they assemble just the right sequence to generate and sustain buzz. Here are some of the most powerful tactics we’ve identified from our research. Seed the vanguard. All customers are not created equal. Some – the vanguard – have a disproportionate ability to shape public opinion. Increasingly, managers are recognizing that getting their products into the hands of the vanguard...

...Viagra Vs Cialis Viagra What is Viagra? Viagra (sildenafil) relaxes muscles and increases blood flow to particular areas of the body. Viagra is used to treat erectile dysfunction (impotence) in men. Another brand of sildenafil is Revatio, which is used to treat pulmonary arterial hypertension and improve exercise capacity in men and women. Do not take Viagra while also taking Revatio, unless your doctor tells you to. Important information about Viagra You should not use Viagra if you are allergic to sildenafil. Do not take Viagra if you are also using a nitrate drug for chest pain or heart problems. This includes nitroglycerin, isosorbide dinitrate, and isosorbide mononitrate. Nitrates are also found in some recreational drugs such as amyl nitrate or nitrite ("poppers"). Taking Viagra with a nitrate medicine can cause a sudden and serious decrease in blood pressure. Contact your doctor or seek emergency medical attention if your erection is painful or lasts longer than 4 hours. A prolonged erection (priapism) can damage the penis.
