| Does Your Doctor Ask About Sexual Issues? Mon, 15 Feb 2010 18:57:59 +0100 I have a charming primary care physician who's up on the latest research, and quite thorough--well, almost. He rarely asks about my sexual functioning.My doctor is typical. For years, sexologists have fretted about doctors' discomfort with sexual issues. A recent editorial in the British medical journal, Lancet, says "sex is a legitimate part of medicine," but doctors have "largely kept it separate from the rest of medicine."Many conditions involve possible sexual dysfunction: heart disease, stroke, cancer, diabetes, depression, and chronic pain, among others. In addition, recent studies show that sex problems, particularly erection impairment, can be the first symptom of several of these conditions, notably heart disease. Doctors who are reluctant to ask about sexual difficulties or don't... |
| My Diagnosis is Killing Me! Thu, 11 Feb 2010 21:54:02 +0100 I used to find it somewhat odd, looking around my ex-psychiatrist's office, to see how many promotional items he had scattered around. There were Pfizer note pads, Prozac pens, Merck coffee cups, an Adderal wastebasket, and Eli Lilly toilet paper.<!--break-->I'm exaggerating, but not by much; the shelf in his foyer was stacked high with boxes of this stuff, as well as countless free samples of the actual medications. Often, before my session would start, I shared the waiting room with a well-groomed, young, salesman-type who was apparently the Fuller Brush Man of Psychiatry, anxious to unload his free wares, hoping, I supposed, that when my doctor picked up a monogrammed GlaxoSmithKline ballpoint pen to write me a prescription, he might be more inclined to go with P... |

| Viagra for your synapses: Enhancement of hippocampal long-term potentiation By activation of beta-adrenergic receptors. Mon, 28 Dec 2009 00:00:00 +0100 Authors: O'Dell TJ, Connor SA, Gelinas JN, Nguyen PV Beta-adrenergic receptors (beta-ARs) critically modulate long-lasting synaptic plasticity and long-term memory storage in the mammalian brain. Synaptic plasticity is widely believed to mediate memory storage at the cellular level. Long-term potentiation (LTP) is one type of synaptic plasticity that has been linked to memory storage. Activation of beta-ARs can enhance LTP and facilitate long-term memory storage. Interestingly, many of the molecular signaling pathways that are critical for beta-adrenergic modulation of LTP mirror those required for the persistence of memory. In this article, we review the roles of signaling cascades and translation regulation in enabling beta-ARs to control expression of long-lasting LTP in the rodent ... |

Maca is a root from Peru; it's a tuber, like a potato, and offers an amazing energy boost for those with low energy. Maca however, unlike coffee, offers energy in a non-caffeinated way that supports the body.Maca is a nutritionally dense super-food that contains high amounts of minerals, vitamins, enzymes and all of the essential amino acids. Maca root is rich in B-vitamins, which are the energy vitamins, and maca is a vegetarian source of B-12. To boot, maca has high levels of bioavailable calcium and magnesium and is great for remineralization.Maca root helps balance our hormones and due to an over abundance of environmental estrogens, most people's hormones are a bit out of whack.

| Cyclic Nucleotide Phosphodiesterases (PDE) and Peptide Motifs. Wed, 23 Dec 2009 00:00:00 +0100 Authors: Keravis T, Lugnier C Cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase (PDE), that is a multigenic enzyme superfamily ubiquitously distributed in mammalians, mainly contributes to intracellular signaling regulation. Its various isozymes specifically control in a spatio-temporal manner intracellular levels of cAMP and cGMP downstream receptor activation and nearby functional proteins. The PDE superfamily is constituted by 11 gene families (PDE1-PDE11), comprising 21 genes represented by more than 100 mRNA products due to alternative splicing. Among them, PDE3, PDE4 and PDE5 were viewed as therapeutic targets and therefore, due to the successful development of Viagra() (sildenafil, potent selective PDE5 inhibitor), the knowledge in PDE field burst out with the help of academic/pharmaceutical ... |

| Sexual Enhancement Products Recalled – contain sildenafil analogue Fri, 18 Dec 2009 21:12:12 +0100 The FDA announced this week that Atlas Operations has initiated a recall of their dietary supplements marketed for “male enhancement”. Analysis revealed that some of the products contained sulfoaildenafil, a sildenafil analogue.  This drug has the potential to cause dangerous decreases in blood pressure, especially for patients taking certain other medications such as nitroglycerin.  According to a press release from the company, some of the products recalled include Staminil, Love Fuel, Erexxx, Finally on Demand, and Whatzup.  The take-home lesson for clinicians is that in addition to asking that middle-aged gentleman with chest pain if he takes Viagra, Cialis, or Levitra before giving nitroglycerine, it is important also to ask if he takes any natural or herbal or over-the... |

| Viagra for Women? Sat, 21 Nov 2009 02:02:22 +0100 A new drug called flibanserin is being hailed as a potential "Viagra-like drug for women," according to researchers at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Medicine and the University of Ottawa in Canada. Flibanserin, which was originally developed as an antidepressant, did a very poor job in treating depression, says principle investigator for North America John M. Thorp, Jr., but it is effective in treating low libido, a common problem among depressed women. Thorp, Elaine E. Jolly, overall principle investigator, and their colleagues pooled data from four clinical trials of flibanserin conducted in the U.S., Canada and Europe, including a total of 1,946 pre-menopausal women aged 18 and older who had been randomly selected to receive either the drug or placebo for 2... |

| Viagra: The profitable pill Mon, 16 Nov 2009 22:43:08 +0100 When Pfizer launched Viagra in 1998 its share price doubled within days. Since then, the little blue pills have become a pillar of profit, earning the company more than ÂŁ1bn a year.Thanks to promotional campaigns, which included appearances by the footballing legend Pele, male impotence lost some of its stigma and 25 million men requested the pills. In England alone, GPs write about 6m Viagra prescriptions a year.The drug started life in a lab in Sandwich, Kent, where it was developed to treat high blood pressure. Its transformation into a blockbuster treatment for impotence began when volunteers in a clinical trial reported a suspicious number of erections. The overnight success of Viagra prompted Pfizer to wonder if the drug had any effect in women. They raised awareness of a condition ... |

| Computer Dating: Should We Lie About Our Age? Tue, 06 Oct 2009 03:40:15 +0100 Age is an undeniable factor in life that colors who we are and how we are perceived in the dating world. As a bachelor for the last 5 years exploring computer-dating sites, age seems to be the overriding factor when deciding whether to take a step with someone. Most dating sites include basic information that always includes age, so prospective daters over 60 must decide how to mange that key to getting to "first base". My impression from informal conversations and being there myself is that 60 creates a major cut-off by saying you're "old" for anyone who is under 60, and 65 or older is like an iron barricade, since who would want to date their parent or grandparent? During my 5 years of computer dating I have noticed a large drop in responses from women 40-55 when I raised my age from 59 ... |

| Orgasm vs. Intercourse Fri, 25 Sep 2009 21:26:35 +0100 Curious about why a pope condemned karezza, I recently waded through the late Archbishop Exner's The Amplexus Reservatus (The Reserved Embrace). It traced some eye-opening Catholic doctrine about the purpose of marriage, much of which dates back to Church father Augustine of Hippo (b. 354 CE). He's well known for his prayer, "Grant me chastity and continence...but not yet!" Less well known is the fact that he (and his intellectual progeny) concluded that because sex is a consequence of the "animal" in man—and animals have no interest in using sex to foster love or unity—the proper use of sex in marriage is strictly for breeding.

These men, who often aren’t helped by oral PDE5 inhibitor drugs, may benefit from direct application of NO or the PDE5 inhibitors. The nanoparticles were tested on a total of 18 rats bred to have age-related ED. The rats were divided into three treatment groups. One group of seven rats received nanoparticles encapsulat... |

For years scientists had tried to identify a substance that made smooth muscle in the blood vessels relax, and Robert Furchgott, who has died aged 92, announced in 1986 at a conference in Rochester, Minnesota, that it was probably nitric oxide.

| Your mother's story, your money story* Mon, 20 Jul 2009 21:07:31 +0100 Some people have compared the pursuit of money and love to the ebb and flow of the oceanic tides. People get rich, they get poor. They seek love, they find it, they lose it -- they seek it again. Money and love strike us as elusive. Even when we get love, it may not be the Big Love. There is a sense that whatever we have will merely do - there is trust, there is attraction perhaps, rapport, maybe even all 3 -- but still, it's not the Grand Canyon love, the one with breathtaking vistas, the kodacolor love we waited for. So too with money -- even those that made money, even lots of it don't feel they have enough. Many financially comfortably people rue the big deal that got away - the brownstone they should've bought in 1975, the Qualcomm stock they should've purchased in 1994 (and sold in 1... |

| Darling, Should I Take an Old or Young Lover? Sat, 18 Jul 2009 02:55:46 +0100 "Relish love in your old age! Aged love is like aged wine; it becomes more satisfying, more refreshing, more valuable, more appreciated and more intoxicating!" Leo Buscaglia.For some people, taking a lover may seem a solution to the dullness of marriage, but this can prove rather a problematic solution for many emotional and moral reasons. In order to lessen these difficulties, various proposals have been offered regarding the nature of an affair. Those include e.g. various types of sexual compromises which are based upon some limitations upon the affair. Such compromises are expressed, for example, in rules such as the "doesn't count" rule, which allows for oral sex, one time sex, out-of-town sex, phone sex, and even mental infidelity; as well as "anything goes-except love," "sex and noth... |

| Desire In Women: Does It Lead To Sex? Or Result From It? Wed, 15 Jul 2009 18:07:15 +0100 The conventional wisdom is that desire precedes sexual arousal. This works for most men. Men are often coiled springs of desire and easily aroused. Men often describe their libido as a drive similar to hunger or thirst. Twentieth-century sexologists assumed that women's libido was, if not identical, then similar--and that if women didn't feel desire, then something was wrong.Using this reasoning, something would be wrong with one-third of women. That's what University of Chicago researchers found in a landmark 1999 survey. Only 15 percent of male respondents said they felt little or no desire--and alcohol, stress, diabetes, heart disease, and disabilities were clear predictors. But 30 percent of women respondents said they lacked libido, usually for no apparent reason. The Chicago research...

| Oral Sildenafil Citrate (Viagra) for Erectile Dysfunction: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis of Harms Wed, 08 Jul 2009 23:00:00 +0100 Conclusions: There was a lack of RCTs reporting long-term (>6 months) harms data.

The exploration of different modes of dose optimization of sildenafil may be warranted. (Source: Urology) |

| Limitations to animal data on sildenafil citrate (Viagra) in the human risk assessment Sun, 14 Jun 2009 23:00:00 +0100 To the Editor: The article titled Sildenafil citrate (Viagra) impairs fertilization and early embryo development in mice by Glenn et al. was of great interest. However, the presented data should be clarified from a teratological point of view, as it is insufficient for any further toxicological evaluation, in particular the human risk assessment. Without recording the initial number of females selected to each examined group, it is impossible to calculate the mating and fertility indexes that are crucial for stage A of developmental toxicological studies . In addition, the postimplantation loss on day 4 should be calculated.

| Science as a tool for generating profit Tue, 09 Jun 2009 13:01:56 +0100 It's difficult to see the assimilation of science into Peter Mandelson's new Department for Business, Innovation and Skills as anything but bad newsAs the dust settles following Gordon Brown's cabinet shuffle on Friday, it's clear that the landscape of British science has been transformed. Where the Department for Innovation, Universities and Skills once stood, now only a vacant lot and several skips filled with DIUS-branded stationery remain. If the forwarding address is oddly familiar – 1 Victoria Street – it's because this was the home of the Department for Trade and Industry, from whose malign influence the science escaped just two years ago.Science has had a tough time fitting into the Westminster scene.
