In research reported Wednesday, the drug dutasteride, currently used to shrink enlarged prostates, was found to reduce the risk of prostate cancer by about a quarter in high-risk men. Men at an above-normal risk of prostate cancer may be able to reduce their risk of developing the disease by taking a drug already on the market.

The medication, sold under the brand name Avodart, apparently caused small tumors to stop growing or even to shrink, researchers reported in the New England Journal of Medicine. Dr. Howard M. Sandler, an oncologist at the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, was even more emphatic: "The question might be, why isn’t every man taking one of these drugs? They help people urinate better by shrinking the prostate, they probably reduce baldness, and they reduce the risk of prostate cancer. There seems to be very little downside to them."

A previous study found that a similar drug, finasteride, could also lower the risk of prostate tumors, but the new research — conducted at 250 sites in 42 countries — suggests that dutasteride is slightly more effective. Both dutasteride and finasteride, sold by Merck & Co. Inc. under the brand name Proscar, are already approved for treating benign prostatic hyperplasia, or BPH, an enlargement of the prostate gland that causes urinary and other problems.

GlaxoSmithKline, which manufactures Avodart, said on Monday that it would apply to the Food and Drug Administration for permission to market the drug for risk reduction in men with high PSA levels — a measure of prostate cancer risk — a family history of the disease or other risk factors, such as ethnicity. But because the drug is already available, doctors don’t need to wait for such permission to prescribe it as a preventive. Considering its low risk, that might be a safe option, experts said. Insurance companies are not likely to pay for it for that purpose, though, until the FDA approves it.

Good health is the secret ingredient of a glowing skin. By becoming healthy and staying fit all the time, people would eventually notice that their skin looks better. Here’s her list of the best foods for your skin:

Green tea:

Green tea is rich in antioxidants that reduce inflammation and keep skin smooth and blemish-free. It’s also high in vitamins C, D, and K, as well as riboflavin, zinc, calcium, magnesium, and iron, all of which are good for your body and your skin.

Oysters:

Zinc is a key ingredient in cell regeneration and the manufacture of collagen. It ensures new cells are healthy and firm. This precious vitamin is packed into oysters and so if you’re lucky enough to be heading out for dinner, opt for this delicious seafood.

Olive Oil:

Some amount of fat is beneficial and one of the healthiest fats is olive oil, which is good for your heart as well as your skin. A fat free diet plays havoc on your skin.

Carrots:

Carrots are an excellent source of vitamin A, an essential nutrient for healthy skin. Too little vitamin A in your diet leads to dry, flaky skin, so snack on carrots to keep your skin young and fresh. They also contain high levels of antioxidants, which prevent the damage done to skin by free radicals.

Oranges:

A colourful, ripe orange gives a massive dose of vitamins to improve cell wall health. Packed with vitamin C, this citrus fruit can work wonders for the skin’s wellbeing. Vitamin C is essential for the production of collagen, the elastic tissue in the skin that declines with age.

Pumpkin:

Yellow and orange foods (no, not cheese curls), but pumpkin, sweet potatoes, carrots, apricots, mangoes, cantaloupe, egg yolks, and yellow or orange peppers are very high in beta-carotene, which helps with dry skin, and helps repair tissue for smooth and soft skin and keep skin smooth and blemish-free.

Water:

While the exact amount you should drink each day varies, no one disputes the role good hydration plays in keeping skin looking healthy and even young. When that hydration comes from pure, clean water — not liquids such as soda or even soup — experts say skin cells rejoice.

 

Impotence is devastating men’s life completely and becoming most common issues among men. It is already proved that it is linked with many health diseases and factors. Diseases like blood pressure, obesity, depression etc. and factors like sitting, watching tv etc. are proved to be as causes of impotence.

Latest study shows that improper handling of pesticides can cause impotence. A senior scientist with the Plant Protection and Regulatory Services Division (PPRSD) of the Ministry of Food and culture (MoFA), Mr Copperfield Banini, has warned. He did not name specific areas in the country where the situation prevailed, but a participant from the Ashanti Region mentioned Akomadan and Ejura as typical examples.

He said research conducted in some vegetable-growing areas of the country revealed, among other things, that some of the farmers went to the extent of tasting the chemicals to establish their potency before applying them on their farms, resulting in serious health implications. He told that some farmers had also gone blind as a result of the improper application of insecticides. Therefore, he emphasis on  vegetable farmers to protect themselves from the chemicals when spraying their farms.  

He also warned that misuse of pesticides should cause infertility in women. Mr Boampong, the Programmes Officer of Croplife Ghana, explained that the low yields of farmers were due mainly to the low adoption of technologies. Many farmers, he noted, were not ready to change their old ways of doing things and said that was what the organisers of the workshop were determined to reverse.
