Sexual Medicine Accepted for Inclusion in the SCIE
The editorial staff of Sexual Medicine is proud to announce that our journal has been accepted for inclusion in the Science Citation Index: Expanded (SCIE) from Thomson-Reuters. Sexual Medicine will receive its first Impact Factor in 2016. These are important benchmarks for any fledgling journal; establishing a presence in SCIE and being granted an Impact Factor signifies that the publishing world recognizes the quality of Sexual Medicine, the open access journal of the ISSM.
This honor is a credit to the authors who have entrusted us to publish their work, the reviewers and editors of the Sexual Medicine who have rigorously evaluated submissions for content and quality, and the ISSM for fostering this journal throughout its two and a half year history. Special thanks are warranted to the ISSM publications committee for their visionary work on this important process.
Sexual Medicine thanks you for your support; having established itself with an Impact Factor and indexing in SCIE we will continue to build on our track record of success. We look forward to your continued support!
Diabetes Linked to Changes in Vaginal Tissue in Post-Menopausal Women
Proper management of type 2 diabetes might prevent changes in vaginal tissue that are linked to that condition, new research suggests.
Past studies on animals have found an association between diabetes and structural changes in the vagina. But the connection had not been explored in humans.
To learn more, scientists from Italy analyzed vaginal biopsies taken from 21 postmenopausal women. Ten of the women were diabetic; the rest were not.
After comparing the samples, the researchers found physiological differences that could explain the vaginal dryness, insufficient blood flow to the vagina, and poor vaginal muscle tone often found in diabetic women.
"These changes in the vagina of women with diabetes may at least partially contribute to the sexual problems they report," the authors wrote.
The study was first published online in May in The Journal of Sexual Medicine. Please click here for more details.
