Why Doesn’t the NHS take Testosterone Deficiency Seriously? https://www.universenewsnetwork.com/2020/01/06/why-doesnt-the-nhs-take-testosterone-deficiency-seriously/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=why-doesnt-the-nhs-take-testosterone-deficiency-seriously https://www.universenewsnetwork.com/2020/01/06/why-doesnt-the-nhs-take-testosterone-deficiency-seriously/#respond Mon, 06 Jan 2020 12:14:51 +0000 https://www.universenewsnetwork.com/?p=171 Testosterone Deficiency is a well-recognised medical condition. In the UK there are British Society for Sexual Medicine guidelines for its diagnosis and management.   The Society of Endocrinology defines the condition:-

“Hypogonadism is defined as a clinical syndrome complex that comprises symptoms and signs as well as biochemical evidence of testosterone deficiency.”

The inception of The Men’s Health Clinic was inspired by an appreciation that Testosterone Deficiency is a poorly understood, under-recognised and under-appreciated health concern.  Terms such as the “Manopause” and Andropause which compare low testosterone to the female menopause are unhelpful and trivialise the condition.  The pathological mechanism that causes low testosterone is very distinct from the female menopause, which is a defined period in a female’s timeline when she no longer ovulates, her periods cease and her oestrogen lowers.  The misassociation may be in part due to the fact that oestrogen is considered the female sex-hormone and testosterone is considered the male sex-hormone. This is also misleading as men and women need both testosterone and oestrogen for overall health and well-being. In men, testosterone is converted to oestradiol by the aromatase enzyme. Oestrogen is integral for cardiovascular health, bone strength, brain function and fertility.

Testosterone Deficiency has been trivialised by the media.  In fact, men’s health in general has been over-looked and dismissed by everyone, including men. It’s only recently, that the importance of testosterone in physical and psychological health is being fully appreciated. Unfortunately, the NHS places a greater emphasis on a curative medical model for several reasons; it’s under-financed and under-resourced, used and abused by all and sundry based on a false sense of entitlement. The NHS is used as a sacrificial political pawn, politicians subtly manipulate the general public with false claims and promises.  Prevention is fundamental to sustainable positive health outcomes, but when finances are diverted to firefighting rather than addressing foundations, causation is a secondary consideration.  Budgets need to demonstrate outcomes.

Testosterone has long been associated with Bodybuilding and athletes abusing the anabolic effects of the hormone.  The use of testosterone and other Androgenic Anabolic Steroids (AAS) has seeped into mainstream culture, with men not fully understanding the long-term consequences of abuse.  AAS are a common cause of Testosterone Deficiency.  Post Cycle Therapy (PCT) is not a reliable method of reigniting your Hypo-pituitary Gonadal (HPG) axis, nature often defies science.  Anabolic steroids have a place in medicine, they were designed to help with patients suffering with chronic wasting diseases, immunocompromised and cancer patients.  However, doctors appear to have an aversion to anything testosterone related, believing that the reported negative symptoms are simply an excuse for attaining a beach body or an unfair competitive edge.

GPs have 10-minute appointments, most see about 40 patients a day, from coughs and colds to cancer to mental health and social issues to… It’s no wonder the negative symptoms of low testosterone are often dismissed in an otherwise healthy looking male.  Men are often either offered antidepressants for their low mood and/or Viagra for their low libido and erectile dysfunction. Doctors have a curative rather than preventative mindset because they simply do not have the time to address causation.

Education is fundamental to implementing sustainable change.  Men have turned to the internet for guidance. We have access to everything and anything, communities have arisen, some positive like TRT in the UK; and some bad that offer false promises, simply feeding confirmation bias.  Testosterone is marketed as a lifestyle drug, not a medical treatment to treat a medical condition. This must end.

This is how much TV we will watch in a lifetime https://www.universenewsnetwork.com/2020/01/06/this-is-how-much-tv-we-will-watch-in-a-lifetime/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=this-is-how-much-tv-we-will-watch-in-a-lifetime https://www.universenewsnetwork.com/2020/01/06/this-is-how-much-tv-we-will-watch-in-a-lifetime/#respond Mon, 06 Jan 2020 12:14:38 +0000 http://universenewsnetwork.com/?p=166 The average TV fan will sit through an eye-popping 78,705 hours of soaps, sports, news, movies and box sets during their lifetime, a study has found.

A poll of 2,000 adults revealed that an average of three-and-a-half hours a day is spent watching television – a total of 1,248 hours a year.

Over the average adult lifetime, this will mean TV fans will immerse themselves in 3,639 films in the comfort of their own home, as well as watching a staggering 31,507 episodes of TV shows.

But the average household will have two arguments a week over what to watch and more than half of those polled would struggle if they only had one TV between them.

As a result, the research by LG Electronics found the typical British home has two TVs, upgrading their set every six years on average.

It also emerged a quarter of those polled said their viewing experience is ‘ruined’ by the quality of their TV, so they will often venture elsewhere, such as a friend’s house or the pub, in search of a superior screen.

 

James Thomas, home entertainment product manager at LG UK said: “The Golden Age of Content is here, but similar to the golden age of film and cinema, it won’t be fully appreciated until it’s over.

“Everyone has a favourite series to sink into at the end of a day, but many are missing out on the full experience due to the limitations of an old TV.”

The study also found that six in 10 adults went as far as to say they would be lost without their television set.

But poor sound quality and glare on the screen are among the nation’s biggest bugbears.

People talking over a favourite show, others asking questions and poor visual quality were also among the greatest annoyances, according to the OnePoll research.

Fifteen per cent also said they get frustrated by having too much choice, with adults spending an average of 2,943 hours over their lifetime browsing and deciding what to watch.

And following a decision, they will watch 11,278 different series over a lifetime – whether that’s just one episode or an entire boxset.

After revealing the nation’s love of TV, LG partnered with Realeyes – the world’s leading ‘emotion AI’ company – to conduct an experiment on identical twins which compared the differences between physical and emotional response when watching Game of Thrones on a 2019 LG OLED TV verses a 2013 LED TV.

The experiment was performed on identical twin social media influencers, Henry and William Wade, at the LG UK test facility in Weybridge.

The twins were separated into blacked-out TV immersion rooms where they simultaneously watched ‘The Battle of the Bastards’ – IMDB’s highest-rated Game of Thrones episode – on the different TVs.

William watched on a 2019 set, while Henry viewed a 2013 TV, representing the most common type of TV in homes across the UK.

Realeyes’ AI platform analysed the facial expressions, head movements and body language from more than 144,000 frames of video footage captured of each twin.

Their physical responses were also measured using heart rate monitors.

The results revealed the 2019 OLED TV held 25 per cent more attention than the 2013 LED, and throughout the episode, 27 emotional peaks were observed on the newer TV compared to just four peaks on the older model.

Happiness, which in the context of the experiment was linked to level of entertainment, was also three times higher.

Overall, the 2019 TV provided a 15 per cent more intense experience from a positive emotional standpoint.

Mihkel Jäätma, CEO and co-founder of Realeyes, said: “This experiment by LG was a really interesting and fun way to utilise our ground-breaking AI technology.

“We’ve taught computers to read and understand human emotions and attention, which allows us to offer scientifically sound measurements of a viewer’s immersion.”

3 Simple But Effective Home Safety Tips for Seniors https://www.universenewsnetwork.com/2019/12/26/3-simple-but-effective-home-safety-tips-for-seniors/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=3-simple-but-effective-home-safety-tips-for-seniors https://www.universenewsnetwork.com/2019/12/26/3-simple-but-effective-home-safety-tips-for-seniors/#respond Thu, 26 Dec 2019 16:21:41 +0000 http://universenewsnetwork.com/?p=154 From the United Kingdom to the United States, many countries are growing older. According to the August 2019 population overview from the Office for National Statistics, about one in every five people in the UK is above the age of 65, with the percentage increasing every year.

In short, the Baby Boomer generation is, in increasing numbers, reaching retirement age, with a growing number of seniors opting to stop working and enjoy their lives outside of their careers. 

With a large percentage of the newly retired opting not to downsize to smaller homes, many of the UK’s retirees are likely to spend the last decades of their lives living inside the same homes that they raised their children in — homes that, in many cases, aren’t designed for seniors. 

This brings with it some safety concerns, from the risks associated with stairs to the sheer work that’s involved in maintaining a large home. If you parents, grandparents or other senior people that you care about live alone in their family home, you can help them to stay safe.

Below, we’ve shared three simple but effective home safety tactics that you can use to make life safer, easier and more comfortable for your parents or grandparents, allowing them to maintain their independence while staying safe and secure throughout retirement. 

Make Sure Their Bathroom is Safe

If you’re a caregiver for seniors, or simply want to make sure that your aging parents are safe, it can help to start by checking their bathrooms for safety hazards.

Bathrooms can be risky spaces, particularly for seniors. Wet surfaces can often lead to falls and painful injuries — injuries that can affect everything from mobility to mental health. 

Good bathroom safety tactics include adding a grab bar in the shower to reduce the risk of a slip or fall. It can also help to install a rubber mat, or switch from a combined bathtub and shower to a less risky walk-in shower design.

Other ideas include installing night lighting, which can make it easier to navigate the bathroom in the dark, and adding either a sitting surface or a bathing chair to the shower area to ensure that mobility doesn’t interfere with bathing. 

Identify and Remove Fire Hazards

Fires can start alarmingly quickly, with something as small as a stray candle or as normal as a forgotten-about oven all it takes to start a blaze that can damage a home and put the safety of its occupants at risk.

If you’re concerned about fire risks inside a senior’s home, check for potential fire hazards and take steps to mitigate them. This can include checking electrical cords and removing anything that’s frayed or otherwise damaged, or checking for hazards close to ovens and heaters. 

If your parents’ or grandparents’ home contains cooking equipment that can spit grease around the kitchen, consider asking them to avoid using it or replace it with a safer option. 

Pots, deep fryers, pans and other cooking equipment rank among the most common sources of house fires, making it worth bringing up if you have concerns about a loved one’s safety. It can also help to check for fire risks, such as towels or tissues, placed close to hot items. 

Make Using the Stairs Safer

While stairs are rarely a hazard for healthy retirees in their 70s, they can be a significant safety risk for seniors in their 80s and 90s. As such, if your parents or grandparents live in a home with stairs, it’s important to make them as safe as possible.

By far the most effective way to make stairs safer, particularly for seniors with injuries or issues walking up and down the stairs frequently, is to install a stairlift. This allows even someone with significant mobility issues to use the stairs with a far lower risk of falls or other injuries.

If a stairlift isn’t economically feasible, or if you think it isn’t necessary, there are still steps that you can take to make the stairs safer. Check that they’re finished in a material that provides a great deal of grip, even if it’s wet or dusty. 

It’s also important to make sure that the stairs are visually differentiated. Many slips, falls and other injuries involving stairs occur in the evening and at night, when it can be difficult for those with partial vision to clearly see where one step ends and the next begins.
