Men, bikinis’ and their effects on bank accounts and waistlines

Published by poster under Uncategorized

Men’s Health News
Images of sexy women tend to whet men’s sexual appetite. generishe cialis online kaufen mastercard But stimulating new research in the Journal of Consumer Research says there’s more than meets the eye.
A recent study shows that men who watched sexy videos or handled lingerie sought immediate gratification-even when they were making decisions about money, soda, and candy.
Authors Bram Van den Bergh, Siegfried DeWitte, and Luk Warlop (KULeuven, Belgium) found that the desire for immediate rewards increased in men who touched bras, looked at pictures of beautiful women, or watched video clips of young women in bikinis running through a park.
"It seems that sexual appetite causes a greater urgency to consume anything rewarding," the authors suggest. Thus, the activation of sexual desire appears to spill over into other brain systems involved in reward-seeking behaviors, even the cognitive desire for money.
"After they touched a bra, men are more likely to be content with a smaller immediate monetary reward," writes Bram Van den Bergh, one of the study’s authors. "Prior exposure to sexy stimuli may influence the choice between chocolate cake or fruit for dessert."
The authors believe the stimuli bring men’s minds to the present as opposed to the future. "The study demonstrates that bikinis cause a shift in time preference: Men live in the here and now when they glance at pictures featuring women in lingerie. That is, men will choose the immediately available rewards and seek immediate gratification after sex cue exposure."
Do all straight men respond the same? Actually, no. Some men are highly responsive to rewards while others are not so sensitive, and the more reward-sensitive men are the impatient ones.
In fact, doing a task designed to inspire financial satisfaction reduced the bikini-inspired impatience, just as feeling full reduces food cravings. Men may want to be aware of bikinis’ effects on their bank accounts and waistlines.

Discovery of protein that helps predict prostate cancer survival

Published by poster under Uncategorized

Men’s Health News
An
Oregon Health & Science University Cancer Institute researcher has identified a protein that is a strong indicator of survival for men with advanced prostate cancer. The C-reactive protein, also known as CRP, is a special type of protein produced by the liver that is elevated in the presence of inflammation.
"This could mean that a simple blood test that is already available could help in clinical decision making and patient counseling. Kaufen viagra pillen mastercard Patients and doctors would know better what to expect from the prostate cancer they are facing," said Tomasz Beer, M.D., director of the Prostate Cancer Research Program at the OHSU Cancer Institute, associate professor of medicine (hematology/medical oncology), OHSU School of Medicine.
Beer’s research will be published online in the journal Cancer on Monday, April 21.
Past research has shown that cancer causes an inflammatory response. This research also suggests that inflammation may play an important role in driving prostate cancer progression and resistance to therapy. Inflammatory cells are attracted to cancer sites and this local inflammation can lead to a release of inflammatory markers, like CRP.
"While inflammation may sometimes slow the progression of the cancer, an increasing body of evidence suggests that cancer can actually take advantage of the inflammatory response, and the reaction of the immune system may fuel cancer progression. To the extent that our hypothesis proves true, C-reactive protein may be reflecting the overall intensity of the inflammation," Beer said.
The finding that higher CRP is associated with shorter survival and a lower probability of response to chemotherapy is a result of a secondary analysis of inflammatory markers in patients enrolled in the ASCENT study, a large Phase 2 clinical trial that evaluated treatment with docetaxel and DN-101, a high dose formulation of calcitriol or docetaxel with placebo. This analysis included patients from both groups. The analyses were supported by Novacea Inc., the sponsor of the ASCENT study. This new finding was in collaboration with Novacea.
Because this is the first time CRP has been linked with both response and survival in study subjects with advanced prostate cancer receiving chemotherapy, it will be important to confirm this finding in an independent data set before this can become a routine blood test for men with advanced prostate cancer, Beer explained.
"If confirmed, besides providing useful information for the patient, this finding could also provide us with vital insight into the fundamental role of inflammation in the progression of advanced prostate cancer. A better understanding of this process could provide us with novel therapeutic interventions for control of this disease and its symptoms," Beer said.

Online Treatment Service For Male Impotence To Be Launched By Chelsea And Westminster And DrThom, UK

Published by poster under Uncategorized

Chelsea and Westminster Hospital NHS Foundation Trust becomes the
first NHS body to venture into online treatment by launching a remote
treatment service for erectile dysfunction in partnership with DrThom
(), the UK’s leading online healthcare provider.
Chelsea and Westminster and DrThom will make it easier for the 2.3 million
UK men who suffer from erectile dysfunction to access treatment by offering
a properly regulated, safe and affordable online treatment service. Only
10% of UK men who suffer from erectile dysfunction currently seek treatment
for the condition.
Chelsea and Westminster is one of the UK’s leading providers of sexual
health services. The Trust already has a proven track record of innovation
by, for example, sending sexual health test results to patients by text
message and enabling patients to request clinic appointments online.
Revenue generated by this new service will be reinvested in NHS care.
By working with DrThom to launch a new online treatment service for erectile
dysfunction, Chelsea and Westminster hopes to help more men seek treatment
for the condition which can be an early symptom of wider health needs
including generalised cardiovascular problems.
Dr Simon Barton, Clinical Director for HIV and sexual health services at
Chelsea and Westminster, says: "We hope that the launch of this service will
be an important step in helping to improve standards of online healthcare in
the generishe levitra online kaufen mastercard UK. All clinical aspects of this new service are overseen by Chelsea and
Westminster and all the doctors who prescribe treatment online are NHS
specialists in sexual health."
Dr Thomas Van Every, Medical Director at DrThom, says "In an ideal world,
all men who suffer from erectile dysfunction would go to their GP for help.
The reality is that embarrassment often prevents men from seeking treatment.
By partnering with Chelsea and Westminster, DrThom will be able to offer a
specialist, trustworthy and regulatory compliant online service that we see
as a major step forward in men’s healthcare."
Facts about erectile dysfunction
According to the Sexual Dysfunction Association, 2.3 million men in the UK
are estimated to suffer from erectile dysfunction. Only 10% of sufferers
seek treatment. 9 out of 10 men who suffer from erectile dysfunction don’t
tell their GP and 6 out of 10 don’t even tell their partners. 2 out of 10
sufferers said erectile dysfunction was the cause of their relationship
break-up.
Facts about the new service
A patient using the service will register on the DrThom website and complete
a
free online questionnaire. The questionnaire and subsequent dialogue
allow a doctor to assess a patient’s suitability for treatment. To answer
the questionnaire, a patient will need to know their blood pressure. If a
doctor judges that treatment is suitable, the patient has the opportunity to
trial the treatment service for ??45. Patients pay online using a debit or
credit card. A doctor will be able to prescribe all common treatments such
as Viagra, Cialis and Levitra. DrThom will send treatment as first class
recorded delivery. To receive follow-up and ongoing treatment, a patient
will need to contact DrThom via their online patient record and tell a
doctor whether they suffered any side-effects and whether initial treatment
was effective. To comply with General Medical Council (GMC) guidelines on
remote prescribing, a patient will be given the name and GMC number of the
doctor who prescribed treatment.
Facts about the regulatory environment for online prescribing
The GMC sets clear requirements that have to be met when a doctor prescribes
treatment without meeting a patient face to face.
The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) regulates how
medicines are promoted. The MHRA’s publication ‘The Blue Guide’ gives clear
guidelines that govern how one can advertise services that may result in
patients being prescribed prescription-only medicines.
The Healthcare Commission regulates and inspects private healthcare
providers to ensure that they meet national minimum standards of healthcare.
Online healthcare providers are not exempt from the rules that govern who
has to ‘register’ with the Healthcare Commission.
Facts about Chelsea and Westminster Hospital NHS Foundation Trust
Chelsea and Westminster is a leading NHS Foundation Trust and was one of 5
trusts highlighted by Monitor, the Foundation Trust regulator, for achieving
strong financial performance, meeting all healthcare targets and national
core standards in 2006/07.
Facts about Dr Thom
DrThom is the only medical service formally regulated by the Healthcare
Commission to prescribe treatment remotely. DrThom was set up and is
overseen by Dr Thomas Van Every, a doctor working at Chelsea and
Westminster’s Victoria Clinic for HIV and Sexual Health.
