  Erectile Facts   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
Osteoporosis is a disease of the bones characterized by a decrease in bone mass and structural deterioration of bone tissue, leading to bone fragility and increased susceptibility to fractures of the hip, spine and wrist.
Osteoporosis occurs when the resorption causes the bones to reach a fracture threshold (the point at which they are likely to break when subjected to a modest stress, such as falling).
If the doctor finds low bone mass, he or she may want to perform additional tests to rule out the possibility of other diseases that can cause bone loss, such as a vitamin D deficiency (osteomalacia) or overactive parathyroid glands (hyperparathyroidism).

 Aging research; molecular concepts of aging, related diseases and cloning.
With aging, there is an exponential increase in bone fracture rate, which shows a clear association with the age-related decrease of bone mineral density.
In view of the significance of sex steroids in the maintenance of bone mineral density at all ages, the question whether the partial androgen deficiency in aging males plays an important role in the decrease of bone mineral density is pertinent.
With regard to bone mass and osteoporosis, all studies of truly hypogonadal men show that androgen supplementation increases bone mineral density, although normal adult bone mass is not attained.

 Erectile Dysfunction / Impotence   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
Impotence, or erectile dysfunction, is the inability to achieve an erection, and/or dissatisfaction with the size, rigidity, and/or duration of erections.
It is estimated that nearly 5 percent of men become impotent by the age of 40, and 15 to 25 percent by the age of 65.
Viagra™ is the first approved non-surgical treatment for erectile dysfunction that does not have to be either injected or inserted directly into the penis to achieve and maintain erection. The oral medication was approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for prescription sale in 1998.

 the Scoop on Smoking :: erectile dysfunction
"Erectile dysfunction," or "ED," is when a man can't get or keep an erection that is hard enough or lasts long enough for him to have sex.
Scientists believe that smoking may increase a man's risk of erectile dysfunction by damaging the blood vessels of the penis.
So the best way to reduce your risk of getting erectile dysfunction is to never start smoking at all or to kick the habit as soon as possible if you already smoke.

Because each of the three drugs works in a different way, some physicians feel that patients should be initially offered all three drugs (given that there are no contra-indications) to see which of them is the most suitable for their individual lifestyles and that of their partners.
Rather than resulting from advanced disease, erectile dysfunction (ED) linked to vascular response often may be the first sign of abnormalities in blood vessel response elsewhere in the body, according to a new study in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology.
Restless legs syndrome (RLS) is characterized by the desire to move the legs associated with tingling, restlessness, an intensification of symptoms at rest with relief by activity, and a worsening of symptoms in the evening or at night.

 Bone density scans for osteoporosis
Bone scans measure the amount of bone in a particular site of the body, usually the lower part of the spine, the hip, the forearm or the heel.
The amount of bone measured by a scanner is often called the 'bone density'.
Bone density varies in people just like height but the lower the density the higher the risk of fractures in the future.

 Bone densitometry scans (general)
A bone densitometry scan is a special type of X-ray test used to measure the calcium content of the bone, usually in the lumbar region (the lower back) and the hips.
Although an X-ray may appear to show that the bones have a low calcium content, the information is unreliable, so someone with osteoporosis may have perfectly normal X-rays.
In general, people with a bone mineral density significantly lower than that normal for their age and sex are more likely to break a bone.

Increased bone loss, higher injury rates, longer times for wounds to heal, even impotence have all been traced to the effects of nicotine on the body, according to Conrad and a number of recent studies.
"I would hypothesise that blood flow to the bone is sluggish and that nutrients and oxygen are not fed to the bone in an expedient fashion," he says.
Conrad reports that non-smoking women at age 65 have an average bone loss of 33.5 percent, while women of the same age who have smoked for five years or more suffer a loss of bone density at a rate from 40 percent to 60 percent.

Their conclusions were based in part on early results presented at the meeting from a pair of studies examining how treatment with human parathyroid hormone interacts with alendronate (Fosamax) or raloxifene (Evista).

When bone mineral density was measured in a lateral projection of the vertebral spine after 18 months of treatment, the women treated with teriparatide alone had the largest increase in bone density, an average rise of 18%.

 Penis - Susan's Place Transgender Wiki
The human penis differs from some other mammalian penises by lacking an erectile bone, instead relying entirely on engorgement with blood to reach its erect state.
The primary physiological mechanism that brings about erection is the autonomic constriction of blood vessels at the base of the penis, which forces blood under pressure into the spongy erectile tissue along the length of the penile shaft, causing it to lengthen and stiffen as it fills with blood.
Impotence, sometimes called erectile dysfunction or ED, is the inability to have and maintain an erection sufficiently firm for satisfactory sexual performance.

After the 48-week study period, there were significant differences in bone mineral density between the two groups: those receiving leuprolide alone had bone loss at various sites ranging from 2 to 8 percent, while the men who also received pamidronate had no significant changes in bone density.
