Related Articles Metabolic and cardiovascular effects of androgen Deprivation therapy. BJU Int. 2008 Aug 22; Authors: Hakimian P, Blute M, Kashanian J, Chan S, Silver D, Shabsigh R Prostate cancer is the most common gender-specific malignancy in men in the USA. Androgen-Deprivation therapy (ADT) is commonly used in the treatment of metastatic or recurrent prostate cancer. The use of ADT is increasing with the advocacy of adjuvant and neoadjuvant ADT for treating asymptomatic patients with locally advanced prostate cancer. Although the use of ADT has resulted in improved survival in men with advanced prostate cancer, ADT, with its resulting severe hypogonadism, causes profound metabolic side-effects. We comprehensively reviewed previous reports using Medline searches of English-language literature (1950 to the present), with the keywords 'hypogonadism', 'testosterone', 'androgen Deprivation therapy', 'hormonal treatment', 'prostate cancer', 'diabetes', 'metabolic syndrome', and 'cardiovascular disease'. Men with prostate cancer who undergo long-term ADT are at greater risk of developing dyslipidaemia, insulin resistance, hyperglycaemia and metabolic syndrome. These metabolic and physiological changes are a direct result of the induced severe hypogonadism and might predispose patients to a greater risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. There is a need for prospective studies aimed and designed to investigate the metabolic and ca ... Source: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov --- 14 days ago
Related Articles Estradiol abolishes reduction in cell death by the opioid agonist Met5-enkephalin after oxygen glucose Deprivation in isolated cardiomyocytes from both sexes. Am J Physiol Heart Circ Physiol. 2008 Jul;295(1):H409-15 Authors: Merkel MJ, Liu L, Cao Z, Packwood W, Hurn PD, Van Winkle DM There is evidence for differences in the response to the treatment of cardiovascular disease in men and women. In addition, there are conflicting results regarding the effectiveness of pharmacologically induced protection or ischemic preconditioning in females. We investigated whether the ability of Met(5)-enkephalin (ME) to reduce cell death after oxygen-glucose Deprivation (OGD) is influenced by the presence of 17beta-estradiol (E(2)) in a nitric oxide (NO)- and estrogen receptor-dependent manner. On postnatal day 7 to 8, murine cardiomyocytes from wild-type or inducible NO synthase (iNOS) knockout mice were separated by sex, isolated by collagenase digestion, cultured for 24 h, and subjected to 90 min OGD and 180 min reoxygenation at 37 degrees C (n = 4 to 5 replicates). Cell cultures were incubated in E(2) for 15 min or 24 h before OGD. ME was used to increase cell survival. Cell death was assessed by propidium iodide. More than 300 cells were examined for each treatment. Data are presented as means +/- SE. As a result, in both sexes, ME-induced cell survival was lost in the presence of E(2), and the ability of ME to improve cell surv ... Source: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov --- 14 days ago
Related Articles Emotional difficulties in early adolescence following severe early Deprivation: findings from the English and Romanian adoptees study. Dev Psychopathol. 2008;20(2):547-67 Authors: Colvert E, Rutter M, Beckett C, Castle J, Groothues C, Hawkins A, Kreppner J, O'connor TG, Stevens S, Sonuga-Barke EJ The study assessed conduct and emotional difficulties in a group of Romanian adoptees at age 11, and serves as a follow-up to assessments made when the children were 6 years old. It was found that there was a significant increase in emotional difficulties, but not conduct problems, for the Romanian sample since age 6. It was also found that emotional difficulty was significantly more prevalent at age 11 in the Romanian group than in a within-UK adoptee group. Emotional difficulties in the Romanian adoptee group were found to be significantly and strongly related to previous Deprivation-specific problems (disinhibited attachment, cognitive impairment, inattention/overactivity and quasi-autism); however, the presence of such early problems did not account fully for the onset of later emotional problems. Five contrasting hypotheses concerning possible mediators for later onset of emotional difficulties for the Romanian group were examined. No links were found to duration of Deprivation or other Deprivation-related indices, stresses/difficulties in the postadoption family environment, or educational attainment and self-esteem. The ...

Many of us are overworked and overscheduled, and if you don’t squeeze in adequate time for sleep, you might need to add overweight to that list. A 2005 poll conducted by the National Sleep Foundation shows that Americans average 6.8 hours of sleep per night—falling short of the recommended 7-8 hours. To make the situation even worse, some of us try to compensate for our lack of sleep on weeknights by getting extra sleep on the weekend. This inconsistent pattern can lead to sleep Deprivation. Signs of deficient sleep are both mental and physical. It can impair your cognitive ability, concentration, coordination and reaction time, while making you moody, depressed or anxious. In addition, lack of sleep is associated with obesity, diabetes and impaired nervous and immune systems. Two hormones that signal the appetite, in opposing methods, may explain why we overeat when we under-sleep: Shortage of sleep lowers levels of leptin, a hormone that suppresses the appetite. When leptin levels are depleted, the body thinks it needs food, when in fact, adequate amounts of food may already have been consumed. Another hormone, ghrelin, sparks the appetite. Research has shown that insufficient sleep elevates levels of ghrelin, making you hungry. The reactions of these hormones suggest a correlation between obesity or weight gain and habitual sleep Deprivation. When you don’t get enough sleep, leptin (appetite suppressor) dips and ghrelin (appetite i ... Source: www.eastofenglandobservatory.org.uk --- 5 days ago

Apparently this whole Internet thing is really catching on.... A new British study has found that heavy Internet users often suffer from severe anxiety when not able to access the Web when and where they please. This does not qualify as news to anyone who has been sans e-mail for more than a day. What is news is the severity of the physiological fluctuation that accompanies "Discomgoogolation." According to the report, the blood pressure and brain activity of those tested increased substantially when cut off from Internet access. The anxiety experienced was similar to that of a person about to take a test and in some cases equal to that of someone who was just fired. That sounds about right to us. Some clinical psychologists are calling for Internet addiction to be recognized as a personality disorder. We would offer commentary on this overwhelming techno-social shift, but we really need to check our e-mail. Sorry. [From: DailyMail ] Read | Permalink | Email this | Comments ...
