Cialis Assists Men With Problems Ejaculating And Achieving An Orgasm, Regardless Of Severity Of Their ED
Date: Feb-01-2013New data suggests the erectile dysfunction (ED) drug Cialis may also be beneficial in helping men who have problems with ejaculation and orgasm, report researchers from NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Cornell Medical Center in the February issue of the British Journal of Urology International. Cialis is currently approved for the treatment of ED, benign prostate hypertrophy (BPH) and for treatment of men with both conditions...
Married Men And Women Are At Lower Risk Of Heart Attack
Date: Feb-01-2013Men and women who are married are at a lower risk of fatal and non-fatal heart attack compared to those who are unmarried or live alone, according to a recent study conducted by a group of Finish researchers. The study, published in the European Journal of Preventive Cardiology reveals that people who aren't married or live alone are at a significantly increased risk of developing myocardial infarction. The investigators found that married couples are linked with "considerably better prognosis of acute cardiac events both before hospitalization and after reaching the hospital alive"...
Attitudes Toward HPV Vaccination For Boys
Date: Feb-01-2013A new Boston University School of Medicine (BUSM) study has found that low-income and minority parents/guardians were receptive toward vaccinating boys against Human Papilloma Virus (HPV). However, racial/ethnic differences emerged in attitudes regarding school-entry mandates. The findings appear online in the journal Clinical Pediatrics...
Association Between Perfectionism And Burnout In Young Soccer Players
Date: Feb-01-2013Young elite players at professional soccer clubs are at risk of burnout before they leave school because of the perfectionist standards they feel coaches, parents and team members demand of them, according to a new study. Dr Andrew Hill, lecturer in sports and exercise science in the University of Leeds' School of Biomedical Sciences, said some youngsters are showing signs of chronic stress, exhaustion, and disillusion with their sport at a young age...
New Report Suggests 'Moral Realism' May Lead To Better Moral Behavior
Date: Feb-01-2013Getting people to think about morality as a matter of objective facts rather than subjective preferences may lead to improved moral behavior, Boston College researchers report in the Journal of Experimental Social Psychology. In two experiments, one conducted in-person and the other online, participants were primed to consider a belief in either moral realism (the notion that morals are like facts) or moral antirealism (the belief that morals reflect people's preferences) during a solicitation for a charitable donation...
Research Helps To Explain Early-Onset Puberty In Females
Date: Feb-01-2013New research from Oregon Health & Science University has provided significant insight into the reasons why early-onset puberty occurs in females. The research, which was conducted at OHSU's Oregon National Primate Research Center, is published in the current early online edition of the journal Nature Neuroscience. The paper explains how OHSU scientists are investigating the role of epigenetics in the control of puberty. Epigenetics refers to changes in gene activity linked to external factors that do not involve changes to the genetic code itself...
Older Adults Often Deterred From HIV Testing Due To Mistrust Of Government
Date: Feb-01-2013One out of every four people living with HIV/AIDS is 50 or older, yet these older individuals are far more likely to be diagnosed when they are already in the later stages of infection. Such late diagnoses put their health, and the health of others, at greater risk than would have been the case with earlier detection...
'Master' Proto-Oncogene Identified That Regulates Ovarian Cancer Metastasis
Date: Feb-01-2013Scientists at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center have discovered the signaling pathway whereby a master regulator of cancer cell proteins = known as Src = leads to ovarian cancer progression when exposed to stress hormones. The researchers report in the current issue of Nature Communications that beta blocker drugs mitigate this effect and reduce cancer deaths by an average of 17 percent...
Insight Into The Mechanics Of Arthritis
Date: Feb-01-2013A new, noninvasive, and low-cost method for the early detection and monitoring of osteoarthritis (arthritis caused by wear and tear) may be on its way, thanks to research by UC Santa Barbara scientists from the Department of Chemical Engineering and the Department of Materials. By studying patterns of friction between cartilage pads, the researchers discovered a different type of friction that is more likely to cause wear and damage. Their work suggests ways to detect this friction, and points to new research directions for getting to the root cause of arthritis...
Protection Against Dangers Of Oxygen Offered By "Super" Enzyme
Date: Feb-01-2013Just like a comic book super hero, you could say that the enzyme superoxide dismutase (SOD1) has a secret identity. Since its discovery in 1969, scientists believed SOD1's only role was to protect living cells against damage from free radicals. Now, researchers at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health have discovered that SOD1 protects cells by regulating cell energy and metabolism. The results of their research were published in the journal Cell...
