How Natural Hair Loss Shampoos Can Help Stop Hair Loss

New approaches to hair loss are available. Natural hair loss is an unfortunate part of many people’s lives and there are increasing research in creating a hair loss cure. Hair loss (alopecia) is often caused by circulating hormones in the body that can cause reduced blood flow, nutrient absorption, and thinning hair follicles.

There will be a time when we look in the mirror and the character looking back is displaying symptoms of losing that dazzling full layer upon layer of hair that developed into a considerable ingredient of our identity. T

Prostate biopsy can cause urinary, erectile problems

Biopsies taken to diagnose prostate cancer commonly cause temporary erectile dysfunction and, in some cases, lingering urinary problems, according to a new study.

The findings, reported in the Journal of Urology, highlight the fact that even the tests for diagnosing prostate cancer can have side effects.

And men who are undergoing prostate biopsies — as well as those considering prostate cancer screening — should be aware of those risks, experts say.

This is especially important for men facing the prospect of multiple biopsies, since the risk of side effects appears to be related to the number of needle sticks used.

For the study, German researchers followed 198 men who had been randomly assigned to undergo one of three forms of biopsy to check for suspected prostate cancer: a standard biopsy, where a needle was used to take no more than 10 tissue samples; a 10-sample biopsy along with the use of a periprostatic nerve block to lessen any pain from the procedure; or a “saturation” biopsy, where 20 tissue samples were taken.

Saturation biopsies may be done in some cases where the doctor suspects a man has a particularly elevated risk of having cancer — such as a man who has had a negative biopsy in the past yet has persistently suspicious findings on PSA screening tests.

Older men’s testosterone varies by country, race

Flynn Garrick — Fri, 27 Aug 2010 06:31:40 +0000

NEW YORK — New research shows older men’s sex hormone levels depend on both race and geographical location, casting further doubt on the criteria for “male menopause.”

More than a million testosterone prescriptions are being written in the U.S. every year, experts say, and many go to middle-aged and older men with stunted libido and depressed mood presumably caused by low levels of the male sex hormone.

But there is no consensus about what these symptoms — sometimes called “male menopause” or “low T” — mean, or when testosterone levels are too low in the first place. (S

NIAGARA FALLS, Ont. — Canada’s doctors wrestled with the idea of calling for a ban on mixed martial arts matches at their general council meeting Wednesday, but in the end, supported it with a clear majority.

The wording of the original motion — brought to the Canadian Medical Association’s national conference by doctors from British Columbia — was changed several times before it was finally put to a vote Wednesday morning.

It first called for a ban just on mixed martial arts fighting, and after two sessions of debate on Tuesday and Wednesday, it eventually called for the CMA to advocate a ban on “mixed martial arts prizefighting.”

Eighty-four per cent of delegates at the meeting, which is known as the medical profession’s parliament, supported the motion.

A senior U.S. aid official said he was optimistic a serious cholera outbreak could be averted in flood-hit Pakistan after emergency steps taken by international and Pakistani relief groups.

At least one case of cholera was confirmed and several more were suspected, said Mark Ward, acting director of the U.S. Agency for International Development’s office for foreign disaster assistance. Epic floods have affected more than 14 million people in Pakistan.

“The good news is that we know where it is and we can get resources in there to help because of the disease early warning system,” said Ward, referring to a system set up by the World Health Organization to quickly detect any cases of cholera or other waterborne illnesses common in flooding.

Foods for Prostate Health

Both China and Japan, which are known for their consumption of green tea, have the lowest incidence of prostate cancer throughout the entire world. Recent medical studies have proven that a major factor in this is the consumption of green tea, which contains a powerful antioxidant that is known as EGCG. EGCG can not only help to prevent the development of cancer cells in the prostate, it can also help to stop the growth.

Although these foods can be very beneficial, they should never be used to replace any diet or lifestyle changes that have been suggested by a medical professional.
