More than one third of men diagnosed with prostate cancer in the early stages end up making medically inappropriate treatment choices. A new study reports that these treatment ‘mismatches’ could likely be a result of a patient’s unwillingness to discuss pre-existing conditions with their doctor.

The study was led by Dr. James Talcott of the Center for Outcomes Research at Massachusetts General Hospital. “Prostrate cancer patients experience the same fears and hard decisions as all cancer patients do but prostate cancer treatment directly affects very personal things that most people aren’t comfortable talking about – urinary, bowel and sexual function,” says Talbot.

(Ivanhoe Newswire) — Brad Pitt, George Clooney and fruitflies. They all have something in common: good genes. A new study reports attractive male fruitflies can pass their attractive traits on to their male offspring. And the trend may hold true for other species, too.

Researchers at the University of Exeter in Cornwall, England observed the mating behavior of fruitflies. They matched males and females together at random to see how long it took for the pairs to mate. The length of time it took them to mate ranged from two minutes to two hours. Female fruitflies must make themselves available to mate, so males cannot force the process. Researchers used the time taken for the pairs to mate as an indication of the male’s perceived attractiveness by the female.

viagra, levitra, Cialis or some other ED treatment drugs like Kamagra, Silagra, Zenegra or Caverta all work in the same principle i.e. increase blood flow to the penile tissues. After the infusion of any of these drugs in a patient’s body, upon sexual arousal, blood flow to the penile tissues increases which helps one get penile erection and maintain it.

(Ivanhoe Newswire) — Radiation seed implants (brachytherapy) may be the best option for men with prostate cancer.

New research from Case Western University School of Medicine in Cleveland reveals patients with localized prostate cancer cut their risk of dying of the disease in half when they have brachytherapy compared to those who don’t get active treatment (watchful waiting/active surveillance) within six months of being diagnosed.

The results may doctors find the right treatment for their patients, according to study authors. As of now, there is no single therapy shown to be clearly optimal for localized prostate cancer.

(Ivanhoe Newswire) — Income really is a life and death issue, according to new research published in the British Medical Journal.

Researchers from the University of Sheffield studied the impact of income inequality on Men’s health and death rates. They analyzed data from 126 counties, which make up 94.4 percent of the world’s population.

Results show income inequality is a very real threat to Men’s health. Researchers report income has a bigger influence on death in wealthier countries in people between ages 15 and 29. Worldwide, the impact is most seen in people between ages 25 and 39.

(Ivanhoe Newswire) — New research reveals it may soon be possible to assign a gender to intersex people whose genital phenotypes and sex chromosomes don’t match.

For the first time, researchers from the United States and Germany have found testosterone leaves an irreversible molecular “signature” in cells. The finding, they report, offers a clearer picture of sex than does relying only on the presence of a Y chromosome.

For this research, scientists compared people with complete androgen insensitivity syndrome (CAIS) to people without CAIS. Androgen insensitivity syndrome results when a person who is genetically male is resistant to androgens (male hormones). The person is left with some or all of the physical traits of a woman, despite having the genetic makeup of a man.

(Ivanhoe Newswire) — Parents have a new reason to foster Men’s healthy lifestyle habits in their daughters.

British researchers who tested blood samples taken from umbilical cords found girls are born with a greater tendency for insulin resistance than boys. Insulin resistance is a key factor leading to the development of type 2 diabetes, a disease that’s increasing in prevalence among youngsters who are overweight or obese.

The study was sparked by research suggesting insulin resistance is different in boys and girls but cannot be adequately explained by differences in weight or physical activity levels. A previous study conducted among British and Indian children speculated the explanation may lie in the womb, leading investigators to test for insulin resistance on cord blood samples.
