Prostate cancer is the second most common type of cancer among men. The main therapeutic approach is radical prostatectomy (RP), which exposes patients to erectile dysfunction (ED) as a postoperative risk. In the present retrospective study, records were analyzed of 431 patients submitted to RP. The prevalence of ED in the sample was 84.7%. Higher Gleason scores denote greater disease aggressivity and predispose patients to a greater use of tadalafil in the postoperative period. Older patients and those with high PSA levels used fewer medications for ED, possibly due to the lower response to the drugs. Moreover, ED following RP was correlated with anxiety and depression, predisposing patients to a greater use of medications for ED at the onset of treatment. Adjunct therapy to RP (hormone blocking and/or radiotherapy) was associated with a higher frequency of persistent ED. Thus, age, Gleason score, anxiety, depression, diabetes mellitus and adjunct therapy are variables that predispose patients to a higher incidence of erectile dysfunction following radical prostatectomy.

A discussion is here proposed regarding the Voigt function, that is the convolution of Gaussian and Lorentzian functions, and the Lévy and q-Gaussian Tsallis distributions. The Voigt and q-Gaussian functions can be used as line shapes in Raman spectroscopy for fitting spectra. Using the convolution theorem, we can obtain the relaxations which are producing the Voigt line shape. To determine the relaxation governing the q-Gaussian line shape, we need to use the Lévy symmetric distribution, since the direct Fourier transform of the q-Gaussian is a very complicated function. According to the work by Deng, 2010, the q-Gaussian functions are mimicking the Lévy functions in an excellent manner. Being the Fourier transform of the Lévy function a stretched exponential relaxation, we can argue that the same mechanism is producing the q-Gaussian line shape. Moreover, using the convolution theorem for the q-Gaussians, we can further generalize the relaxation mechanism.
