BUENOS AIRES  - The first three patients  participating in an early test of a "revolutionary" human gene  therapy for erectile dysfunction have not developed any  treatment-related side effects, according to preliminary  results released here this week at a meeting of the  International Society for Sexual and Impotence Research.

An experimental treatment for Parkinson's disease seemed to improve symptoms &#151; dramatically so, for one 59-year-old man &#151; without causing side effects in an early study of a dozen patients. The gene therapy treatment involved slipping billions of copies of a gene into the brain to calm overactive brain circuitry.
