Baldness Drug's Sex Effects Possibly Permanent, Study Says

Posted: Published on July 12th, 2012

Kevin Malley was almost 30, and he was starting to lose his hair. He went to his doctor to see if there was a way to keep from going bald, and his doctor prescribed Propecia. "I looked young for my age, so I wanted to hold off my hair loss for a little bit," Malley said. "I didn't plan on taking Propecia for more than a year." Malley started taking the drug in May 2011, and by October he was completely impotent and had no sex drive whatsoever. His body changed, even his genitals shrank, and he slipped into a mental fog that he just couldn't clear. His doctor told him the side effects would go away if he stopped taking the drug, so he did. But nothing changed. "I kept expecting the side effects to go away, but they did not, they only got worse," he said. Malley is not alone: A new study published today in the Journal of Sexual Medicine suggests that for some men, the sexual side effects of Propecia may last for months to years, even after they stop taking the drug. Researchers from George Washington University interviewed 54 men under age 40 who reported … Continue reading →

Cheaper Drugs Allow Greater Treatment

Posted: Published on July 12th, 2012

PEPFAR, the Presidents Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief, is responsible for getting millions of people on treatment. But researchers say it was not until the program started using cheaper generic drugs that great strides were made against the epidemic. PEPFAR is considered one of the hallmarks of President George W. Bushs time in office. Its goal was to transform HIV/AIDS from a death sentence into a manageable chronic disease. And for millions of people around the world, thats now the case as the program continues under President Obama. However, Dr. Kartik Venkatesh said when PEPFAR began it was hampered by the high cost of brand name antiretroviral drugs. Early on, PEPFAR wasnt able to reach nearly as many individuals because if the proprietary versions of these drugs were going to be used, simply, with the limited budget only so many could be reached. However, [in] the real success of PEPFAR, a significant factor has been the procurement and use of generic drugs, he said/ Venkatesh is the lead author of a study by Brown University researchers on the success of PEPFAR. He said, The question was if were providing patented drugs to American patients, we should be providing the same … Continue reading →

Aussie expert closer to HIV cure

Posted: Published on July 12th, 2012

Australian scientist Prof Alan Trounson is working on a cure for HIV using stem cells. Source: AP A WORLD-renowned Australian stem cell expert working on a cure for HIV says their research is about to progress to human trials. Professor Alan Trounson heads the California Institute of Regenerative Medicine, which is advancing towards a cure for conditions including HIV and diabetes. Prof Trounson, the former director of Monash Immunology and Stem Cell Laboratories in Melbourne, said the research institute's work towards a HIV cure was about to enter human trials. He said if the trials were successful further research would be needed to modify the technology so it could be affordably used where it is needed most, in Africa. "I want the HIV work to go globally because it shouldn't be restricted to patients in Western (countries)," Prof Trounson said. "We're going to have to modify some of that further research to get it into a suitable treatment that we can use in Africa. "I'm very hopeful that the industry will do that. "We have to try and make these as available to people as possible." Prof Trounson said the HIV research uses blood stem cells to mimic a gene … Continue reading →

Dr. Jue Brings Store-A-Tooth Dental Stem Cell Therapy Service to Sugarland

Posted: Published on July 12th, 2012

Sugarland cosmetic dentist Dr. Jue from A Beautiful Smile at Lake Pointe becomes the first provider of dental stem cell therapy in Fort Bend County through Store-A-Tooth. Sugarland, TEXAS (PRWEB) July 10, 2012 Sugarland cosmetic dentist Dr. Lance Jue from A Beautiful Smile at Lake Pointe has become the first provider of dental stem cell therapy in Fort Bend County. Dental stem cell therapy saves stem cells from baby teeth, teeth removed for orthodontic reasons and wisdom teeth to help with future infections, injuries or diseases. Dr. Jue works with Store-A-Tooth, which provides a Tooth Transport Kit, collects and validates the stems cells that are collected from the tooth. The cells are kept frozen until the day they are needed, at which time they are sent to the patients healthcare provider. Dental stem cells have been used to treat periodontal disease, diabetes, spinal cord injury, stroke and liver disease. Stem cells are different from other cells because they can transform into many different cell types and divide more than other types of cells. Dental stem cells are particularly effective because they replicate faster than stem cells take from other body tissues. The initial cost of the Store-A-Tooth service is one-third … Continue reading →

South Florida doctor pioneers penis enlargement procedure

Posted: Published on July 12th, 2012

MIAMI - A South Florida doctor pioneers a non-surgical approach for penis enlargement. "The key thing is right here, a lot of men think they're small or inadequate," said Dr. Victor Loria, a cosmetic surgeon. Dr. Loria is helping men feel more adequate with his non-surgical method. "I feel like in a year or two this will be the gold standard for girth and glands enlargement," he said. Using a small cannula, Dr. Loria injects the area with silicone or artefill, products approved for filling facial wrinkles. "The material actually converts to collagen. The body sees it and converts it to collagen. So 95 percent or more of that new material under the skin is their own body," said Dr. Loria. Injections of silicone or artefill carry a 10 percent risk of complications, including pain, bruising, or lumpiness in the area. "Once it's injected, the silicone or the artefill is permanent, which means that if for whatever reason you don't like the way it looks or feels, you're kind of stuck with it. It's very difficult to remove, if al all," said Dr. Michael Salzhauer, a plastic surgeon. Matt felt like it was a chance worth taking. View post: South … Continue reading →

Coping with problems in the bedroom

Posted: Published on July 12th, 2012

Many of the men I see come to me because they are experiencing erectile dysfunction problems. The men, who vary in age, had previously taken their ability to perform in the bedroom for granted and have trouble understanding why this is happening to them now. A common cause of erectile dysfunction, in young men, is performance anxiety. They experience great fear every time they engage in sexual intercourse, especially if it is with a new partner. They terrify themselves with thoughts of: "will I get hard enough", "will I keep it up", "how long will I last" and "will she tell her friends?" These are common performance anxiety thoughts, but they can cause men to lose their erections immediately. This, in turn, exacerbates their anxiety and leads to troublesome feelings of sadness, disappointment, guilt and shame. The more this happens, the more these men lose their confidence. They may start avoiding sex or become so traumatised they stop having sex all together. This cycle often continues until it is addressed. To break the cycle, they first need to admit there is a problem. Read the original post: Coping with problems in the bedroom … Continue reading →
