This article provides more information about last week's announcement that researchers have found a form of adult stem cells that appear to be as versatile as embryonic cells ...in men's testicles.

A team out of the University of Tubingen in Germany managed to convert spermatagonial cells into skin, gut structures, cartilage, bone, muscle, and neurons, quite an accomplishment. Some of their colleagues are enthusiastic. Robert Lanza of Advanced Cell Technology in Massachusetts (U.S

Although men are at high risk of acquiring human papillomavirus (HPV) infections, most last no more than a year, about the same time this sexually transmitted disease persists in women, researchers report in The Journal of Infectious Diseases.

Stem cells from testicles offer an alternative to embryos

Cells taken from men's testicles seem as versatile as the stem cells derived from embryos, researchers reported Wednesday in what may be yet another new approach in a burgeoning scientific field. The downside? Because of their source, these cells could only be used for regenerative medicine in male patients, not in female ones.

The study involved twenty-two samples from men aged seventeen to eighty-one. All of them men were undergoing treatments for other reasons

Erections: Use 'Em or Lose 'Em--------Frequent Sex Protects Against Erectile Dysfunction

kavin submitted, created time 4 months 2 weeks (www.webmd.com)

July 3, 2008 — Men who don't use their erections lose them, Finnish researchers find.

Aging men who have sex at least once a week have only half the risk of developing erectile dysfunction as do men who have sex less often.

But once-a-weekers shouldn't gloat. More sex means even less ED risk. Men who have sex at least three times a week are only one-fourth as likely to get erectile dysfunction as are men who have less-than-weekly sex

kavin submitted, created time 4 months 4 weeks (www.medscape.com)

This large, prospective, observational study showed that Finnish smokers who consumed eight or more cups of coffee per day had a 23% lowered risk for cerebral infarction, whereas those who drank two or more cups of black tea daily had a 21% lowered risk for this type of stroke vs those who drank little or none of these beverages. The associations were independent of risk factors such as a history of coronary heart disease.

Their report is published in the June 2008 issue of Stroke

Asthma that begins in adulthood appears to increase the risk of heart disease and stroke in women but not in men. And compared with their counterparts without asthma, women with adult-onset asthma had a 2.10-fold increase in the rate of heart disease and a 2.36-fold increase in the rate of stroke.

The aims of this study were to examine if serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels are lower in men with type 2 diabetes compared with those in healthy men and to investigate what factors may be associated with serum PSA levels in men with type 2 diabetes.

Except for men aged 40–49 years, serum PSA levels were lower in diabetic men than in healthy men. Multiple regression analysis demonstrated that age, BMI, and presence of diabetes were independent determinants of serum PSA level.

Why are there no boys in the Gardasil commercial?

Darkfrog submitted, created time 9 months 6 days (www.nytimes.com)

Although I knew that it was possible to give the anti-HPV vaccine to boys (it would protect them from getting genital warts in addition to making them less likely to give the cervical-cancer-causing virus to any female partners) I have to admit, the question didn't occur to me. Usually, drug companies are so eager to market their wares to as many people as possible, but there is a real dearth of pro-male HPV vaccine advertising out there.
