Diagnostics of male reproductive dysfunction with DgKTD-01 computer technology

Objective. To reveal computer dermography-recorded changes characteristic of male reproductive dysfunction and to elaborate diagnostic criteria for early diagnosis of this abnormality, by using a DgKTD-01 diagnostic unit. Subjects and methods. One hundred and seventy-six men aged 27 to 39 years were examined and assigned to three groups: 1) 51 men with differentiated reproductive dysfunction; 2) 79 men with certain complaints; 3) 46 apparently healthy men. Their health status was comprehensively studied using a computer dermographic method realized in the DgKTD-01 diagnostic unit. Results. Group 1, unlike Groups 2 and 3, was characterized by constrained adaptation due to a predominance of a sympathetic component of the autonomic nervous system, by the high extent of chronic pathology (a larger proportion of persons referred to as follow-up group III), and by lower immune system function. There was a specific combination of amplitude-configuration plots for the basic functions F2 in the segments С*4-5, L1, and S1 in mode 2, F2 and F3 in the segment Th6 in mode 4, and F5-1’, F5-2’, and F5-3’ in the segments L1 and S1 in mode 3. In the control group, the amplitude-configuration plots of the basic functions were represented as right synchronous curves within the physiological range. In Group 2, 65.8% of the examinees had amplitude-configuration plots for the basic functions, which were specific for Group 1 in different combination of the values recorded within the physiological range and 34.2% had the values that corresponded to those in the control group. In-depth examinations made by medical specialists using laboratory and instrumental methods in this patient group revealed that 65.8% had abnormalities characteristic of male sexual diseases. The agreement of the results of computer demography-assisted examinations and the data of in-depth examination by the medical specialists indicates that 65.8% of Group 2 persons are one cluster with Group 1 persons and a group at risk for impaired reproductive health. Conclusion. The health status examination using the computer demography technique on the DgKTD-01 diagnostic unit identified criteria for early detection of male reproductive abnormality. This could identify a group of persons at increased risk for reproductive dysfunction, which enables, even in the absence of an examinee’s complaints, timely and validated prophylactic measures to be implemented to prevent this disease. The computer dermographic technique may be incorporated as an additional diagnostic screening test when evaluating male reproductive health.
