POPSImpotency Impotence can result from a wide variety of problems. For example, cardiovascular problems, diabetes, injuries to the spinal column, and side effects from high blood pressure medicine are among the physical conditions that can lead to impotence. An erection occurs when the nervous system activates a rapid increase in blood flow. The vascular muscle in the spongy area becomes engorged with blood and outflow of blood is cut off. Erection can be elicited by the so-called reflex erection as we see in spinal cord patients, or can be caused by psychogenic stimulation. In order to get an erection, the blood flow must increase and, at the same time, the blood has to be prevented from leaving the penis. With regular penis exercising, you can help to increase the bloodflow to the penis and this can be helpful in some cases of impotency.

POPSHuman-frog hybrids reveal autism's secrets To see if abnormalities in neurotransmitter signalling also underlie autism, Miledi's team collected brain samples from six deceased autistic patients, aged eight to 39. They fused brain-cell membranes, which house neurotransmitter receptors, together with Xenopus egg membranes. As a control, they did the same thing with brain cells from patients with no history of mental disorder. Miledi's team then doused the frog eggs in neurotransmitter chemicals, and measured the voltage generated within each egg. The neurotransmitter chemicals tell brain cells to pump charged molecules in and out the membrane, creating a voltage across the membrane. Since Xenopus eggs do not respond to the neurotransmitters, the human proteins are completely responsible for any electric current generated. Four of six autistic brains responded to neurotransmitters chemicals less vigorously than the controls.

POPSThe debate over mammograms for elderly women "The mammography study, published in May in The Journal of Clinical Oncology, looked at the records of more than 12,000 patients aged 80 and older who were given diagnoses of breast cancer from 1996 to 2002. It found that among those who had a mammogram every year or two before their diagnosis, 68 percent found the cancer at an early stage, compared with 33 percent of those who skipped mammograms altogether. "Five years after the breast cancer diagnosis, 75 percent of the frequent screeners were alive, compared with only 48 percent of those who had not been screened for at least five years before their cancer was found. "But those who had frequent mammograms were not only more likely to survive breast cancer, the study’s authors said, they were more likely to survive other illnesses as well, meaning that they may simply have been healthier to begin with."

POPSDon't treat the old and unhealthy, say doctors Bucket of worms being opened. Who decides if a person is old and unhealthy because of untreated mental disorders caused involvement in a war. This would only create the need for more lawyers. Doctors are earning as much as possibly because they made sure there was a shortage of doctors. Now some have time to get bossy. Mind you, I do believe we should all have good health because we were so well educated with buckets of sayings.

POPSEarly care helps frozen shoulder Instead of moving smoothly, a condition known as capsulitis, can make the joint 'sticky' and so cause pain, and damage due to constant movement. Doctors can misdiagnose the problem, or sufferers can wait until the damage has been done before seeking treatment, which involves a cortizone injection, deep into the joint.The joint movement is then tested, until after sometimes only a few treatments, depending on the amount of damage, a full range of motion can return.

POPSNew Adenovirus Serotype This kind of things happens each time a new virus emerges... It takes out its first victims then mutates into something more tolerable. Or we adjust by becoming immune. Someone wins and someone loses.
