Scientists from New York University are now re-evaluating last year's research claim that correlates melanoma and Viagra, the little blue magic pill for men with erectile dysfunction.

Ex-smokers were also at greater risk of recurring cancer, but not those who quit the habit 10 years or more before having their prostate glands removed.The findings, published in the journal European Urology, make it seem more likely that there is a link between smoking and prostate cancer.

A new survey from the National Childbirth Trust (NCT), a charity for parents, has found that more than 1 in 3 new fathers, or about 38 percent, are worried about their mental health highlighting that it is not just the mothers who experience postnatal depression and other mental health issues associated with the birth of a baby.

"Trans fats were most strongly linked to worse memory in men during their high productivity years," said lead author Beatrice Golomb, professor of medicine at University of California San Diego School of Medicine in the US.

Preliminary research from Portugal, U.S. and Brazil says that mice who were given caffeine in their regular drinking water have performed better when dealing with stress and have been doing better in memory tests than mice who drank regular water. Furthermore, mice on regular water apparently exhibited other stress-induced changes in their behavior, as  Business Insider informs us.

It transpires that men are loath to discuss contraceptive issues. In my quest to secure a male testimony about contraception, I was met with straight 'No's', and several blokes backing out of interviews after getting cold feet.I was consistently shocked by how mortified men seemed to be by the prospect of registering an opinion about birth control.Some said they didn't think it was their right and some seemed embarrassed. But either way, it's crystal clear that men need to be encouraged to join this vital discussion that affects them as well as us.

Multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) allows us to define, locate, and monitor cancers in a way never before possible. These capabilities combined with promising results from current prospective studies have changed the face of FT. This review presents the latest developments, current trends, and next steps in FT.

Males inherit more genetic flaws from their mothers than females, research shows Certain types of mutations only have negative consequences when passed from women to their sons, according to studies

Scientists said there is increasingly compelling evidence to show that men are the weaker sex, because DNA passed on from their mothers can cause damage to male health.

A series of studies show that certain types of mutations only have negative consequences when passed from women to their sons.Genetics experts dubbed the phenomenon "mother's curse" - and said the theory could explain why men have an overall shorter life expectancy than women.
