Adam Driver as Le Gris

The trailer for Ridley Scotts forthcoming historical epic features a lot of clanking armor, accusations, and not to mention a good ol yell from Adam Driver. Over the course of 2 minutes, with grand imagery bolstered by a strong cast, a crime committed against a woman becomes the framework for a conflict between two men as they battle it out with swords in The Last Duel.

Set in medieval France, Jean de Carrouges (Matt Damon) accuses Jacques Le Gris (Driver) of raping his wife, Marguerite de Carrouges (played by Jodie Comer). Jean appeals to the high court seeking a fight to the death for Le Gris alleged crime, a rare occurrence by this time. The friends turned rivals find themselves in a duel for their reputation and life. If Carrouges loses, Marguerite will be burned at the stake as a false accuser.

The historical film is based on Eric Jagers book The Last Duel: A True Story of Trial by Combat in Medieval France, which unravels all of the complicated and widely theorized history surrounding the duel. This was indeed the very last judicial duel in Franceas they probably figured out it was archaic and brutal to force men to kill or be killed as a sign of honor or Gods will (or whatever) without achieving true justice. As Comers character puts it in the trailer: You are risking my life, so you can save your pride.

Damon and Ben Affleck teamed up again for their first screenplay written together since Good Will Hunting, with the help of Nicole Holofcener (Can You Ever Forgive Me?, Enough Said). Affleck takes on a supporting role in the film and looks nearly unrecognizable as Le Gris ally Count Pierre dAlenon with his icy white hair.

The Last Duel premieres in theaters October 15.

Male contraception has been limited to the same two options for more than a century: wearing condoms or having a vasectomy. It can hardly be called a choice, especially as vasectomies are generally a permanent procedure.

In comparison, when it comes to reversible forms of birth control, women are able to choose between a dozen methods ranging from the pill to hormonal injections, an implant, a patch, an intrauterine device (IUD), a diaphragm, a vaginal ring, female condoms or spermicide.

Granted, the scenario that contraception seeks to avoid is a woman getting pregnant, and it sounds mathematically easier to prevent an ovary from releasing an egg or two, or creating a barrier around them than to try to disable the millions of sperm trying to swim to them.

But as women increasingly speak out about the hassle of staying on top of their reproductive cycles, a significant proportion of men are showing interest in helping to relieve their female partner of the burden of birth control.

A 2018 YouGov poll found that 79 per cent of the 1,600 British men surveyed thought contraception should be a shared responsibility.

"Men are starting to be more vocal about wanting it. Women are getting more vocal about wanting men to want it. So people are starting to pay attention," said Heather Vahdat, executive director of Male Contraceptive Initiative, which helps fund research in this field.

So, what options might men have in the future?

Heres a look at some of the most promising methods in the pipeline.

Now heres a way in which men could literally shoulder more of the burden of birth control: by applying a testosterone gel daily on their upper arms and back.

The gel, called Nestorone, contains both testosterone and a progestin, a synthetic form of the female sex hormone progesterone. The progestin blocks natural testosterone production in the testes, reducing sperm production to low or nonexistent levels. The replacement testosterone aims to maintain normal sex drive and other hormone-driven functions.

The effectiveness of the gel is being evaluated around the world in Phase 2 clinical trials funded by the US National Institutes of Health that aim to enroll 400 couples in total and are expected to conclude next year.

Professor Richard Anderson from the University of Edinburgh - where 30 men have already completed the trial - says the results so far are very encouraging.

"It worked really surprisingly well. We havent had any pregnancies. The guy's sperm counts stayed really reliably suppressed," Anderson told Euronews Next.

Rgine Sitruk-Ware, a distinguished scientist at the Population Councils Centre for Biomedical Research leading the Nestorone study, said the shoulder gel appears to have a key advantage: reliability.

"When it's used daily, it remains on the surface of the skin and then delivers steadily," she explained. "And we see it at an effective dose for up to three days, which means that if there is one day off, and the person has forgotten to apply it, theres a kind of forgiveness".

But hold your breath. The Population Council doesnt expect it to reach the market for another five years.

Thats because clinical trials must not only demonstrate that the product works in preventing pregnancies, but also that its fully reversible, meaning that couples whove used it and subsequently want a child do manage to get pregnant.

Researchers have also been working on a male birth control pill containing dimethandrolone undecanoate, or DMAU.

The molecule can alternatively be administered in long-lasting injections. It suppresses two hormones needed to create viable sperm: follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinising hormone (LH).

The tricky part is that suppressing these causes testosterone levels to drop as well, which often comes with unwanted side effects, such as lowered libido, acne, and mood swings.

Such side effects may sound familiar to the millions of women who take a birth control pill, but theyve gotten in the way of bringing male birth control to market.

A promising study commissioned by the World Health Organization (WHO) into a two-hormone injection designed to lower sperm count was halted after safety reviewers judged it had too many side effects, particularly mood changes.

Interestingly though, 75 per cent of the 320 men enrolled in the trial said they wanted to continue using the shot.

Researchers have since been working on ways to tinker with other hormones to trick the body into thinking that testosterone levels are adequate and limit side effects.

As women become increasingly reticent to hormonal forms of birth control, those advocating research into new male contraceptives say non-hormonal methods could be a smart bet.

Enter so-called "vas-occlusive techniques" - or reversible vasectomy.

It works by implanting a gel into the vas deferens (the duct inside the penis through which sperm leaves the body) that allows fluid to flow but stops sperm from travelling. Its being developed as a one-time outpatient procedure that can last several years, either until the gel naturally starts dissolving or until the man decides to have it removed to allow his sperm to roam freely again.

For over four decades, scientists in India have been looking into a vas-occlusive synthetic gel called RISUG ("reversible inhibition of sperm under guidance") that's currently the only male contraceptive in Phase 3 clinical trials.

Studies have shown it to be effective, but only animal trials have so far fully demonstrated the products potential to be reversed. A water-based gel called ADAM developed by the company Contraline in the United States is also expected to start first-in-human trials this year.

"Its not as daunting as it may seem," said Vahdat, whose non-profit organisation Male Contraceptive Initiative is helping fund the study into ADAM.

"Its like a male IUD: a long-acting reversible contraceptive for men. You set it and forget it".

Whether they sound promising or unsettling, these new options are still years away from becoming a reality for men worldwide.

So why is it taking so long? "It really has been funding," said Vahdat.

Case in point: her non-profit, MCI, is the second-largest funder of research into male birth control after the National Institutes of Health, with just $1.5 million (1.3 million) in grants each year - a drop in the ocean of drug research.

MCI and the Population Council say the pharmaceutical industrys traditional risk-benefit model has caused companies to leave this field virtually untouched.

"If you think of taking a healthy patient, disabling a function (reproduction) and promising it can be restored, thats more risky in terms of return than treating a disease," Vahdat explained.

From a regulatory perspective, its also somewhat of an ethical headache to give someone a medication with potential side effects if the end goal - preventing pregnancy - does not affect their body but their partners.

Those calling for more male birth control options say that way of thinking needs to be turned on its head.

"We propose a model of shared risk that is ethical because you are preventing the risk of pregnancy in a female partner, and we're considering the sum total of risk between male and female partner," Logan Nickels, research director at MCI, said.

While this idea has yet to win over health regulators and companies, it may be catching on more quickly among the general population.

In France, a new male birth control product has been making headlines in recent months: a thermal ring called Andro-Switch designed to bring the testes closer to the body to naturally raise their temperature.

The pitch: if worn at least 15 hours a day for a few months, it lowers sperm production enough to cause temporary and reversible infertility.

"I think that a lot of people are understanding that instead of a fifth hormone-releasing IUD on the market, maybe we can have one male contraceptive," Nickels said.

Recent studies suggest many men would consider hormonal birth control if it were available.

In the US alone, 77 per cent of sexually active men aged 18 to 44 surveyed in 2017 were "very or somewhat" interested in trying out a male form of birth control other than condoms or vasectomy.

"A few decades ago, people were simply grateful there were contraceptive methods. Now people realise its also a burden, and its more about sharing responsibility," Anderson, of the University of Edinburghs Centre for Reproductive Health, said.

"A number of men do want to step up to the mark".

Although testosterone is well-known for fueling male sex drive, this hormone affects far more functions in the body than just the libido. In addition, women, too, need a certain amount of testosterone to maintain specific bodily functions. Learn more about testosterone hormone production and function, the effects of too much or too little testosterone, as well as testosterone supplements and possible side effects.

While testosterone is credited with regulating male sex drive, this is not the hormones only function. In fact, testosterone affects bone growth and strength, muscle size and strength, body fat distribution, sperm production, and red blood cell production. It also affects masculinization in males, such as penis and testes development, changes in voice during puberty, and the appearance of facial and pubic hair. It also could affect balding as men age, and may help maintain a normal mood level.

Because normal testosterone production varies widely between males, its not clear at what level a testosterone deficiency becomes medically relevant. A testosterone level for one male may be too much or too little for another. In addition, studies have found that testosterone works closely with estrogen, and some effects of testosterone deficiency may actually be attributed to an estrogen deficiency. Additional clinical trials are underway to study this issue.

Although often thought otherwise, having abnormally high levels of natural testosterone is not common in men. For males who do have abnormally high levels of testosterone, they could experience a wide range of problems. These include low sperm counts, impotence, liver disease, acne, headaches, high blood pressure, insomnia, weight gain, high cholesterol, heart muscle damage, and increased risk of heart attack and blood clots. Too much testosterone also could negatively affect mood, ranging from mood swings and irritability to impaired judgment, delusions and euphoria.

Over time, males typically experience a very gradual drop in testosterone that is considered normal. However, an abnormally low testosterone level could result in a variety of symptoms. These include a loss in muscle mass, increased breast size, hot flashes, reduced or loss of body and/or facial hair, loss of bone strength, low sex drive, impotence, reduced size of testicles, reduced sperm count, and infertility. A testosterone deficiency also could lead to irritability, poor concentration, and depression.

Taking testosterone supplements for low testosterone can help reduce or eliminate symptoms of testosterone deficiency. However, its important to talk with your doctor before taking any testosterone supplement, as it may not be beneficial if you are otherwise healthy. Testosterone supplements typically are reserved for those with a medical condition that is reducing their testosterone levels, not for a natural decline over time. If your doctor does prescribe a testosterone supplement, these could include vitamin D, zinc, magnesium and D-aspartic acid, a natural amino acid.

If you embark on testosterone therapy to boost your testosterone levels, possible side effects could be relatively mild or extremely serious. On the mild side, these include acne, breast swelling or tenderness, and swelling in the ankles. More severe side effects include an increased risk of blood clots and a higher risk of heart attacks and strokes. In addition, boosting testosterone levels could stimulate the prostate gland, spurring growth of undiagnosed prostate cancer. Therefore, its important to monitor your health carefully while undergoing any testosterone therapy to identify potential problems.

Men are not the only beneficiaries of the testosterone hormone. Produced in the ovaries and adrenal gland, testosterone in women affects ovarian function, boosts bone strength, and could help produce a normal libido. Although more data is needed, there is some evidence that testosterone and other androgens may affect normal brain function. High levels of testosterone in women could result in reduced breast size and deepening of the voice, while a testosterone deficiency could lead to reduced bone strength, poor concentration, depression or low sex drive.

What Is Testosterone & What Does It Do? | Testosterone Hormone Function - Healthgrades

IRVING, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Delivering testosterone via bioabsorbable pellets inserted under the skin is a low-risk approach to long-term hormone therapy for women and men, according to peer-reviewed data published in the journal Therapeutic Advances in Endocrinology and Metabolism (TAEM).

Practitioners from multiple clinical specialties reported an overall complication rate of less than 1% in 1,204,012 subcutaneous implants performed over a period of seven years. Each of the 376,254 patients treated for testosterone deficiency received implants of bioidentical hormones, either testosterone alone or combined with estradiol, with 85% of study participants being women, ages 25 to 92, and 15% men, ages 35 to 85.

Clinical experience and research continue to demonstrate the significant negative impact of testosterone deficiency in both women and men on health and well-being, but most delivery methods have been inadequate for long-term therapy: Creams are absorbed inconsistently, injections cause hormone spikes, and previous attempts at patches failed to advance into standard of care because of high rates of side effects, said study author Dr. Gary Donovitz, who has been a practicing OB/GYN for 30 years and founded hormone optimization company Biote Medical. This study adds to our understanding of one low-risk modality of long-term delivery.

Of the patients who received treatment at least twice, 93% chose to continue hormone pellet therapy.

The high rate of voluntary continuation in this real-world retrospective analysis speaks to patient satisfaction with the therapy, Donovitz said. Hypogonadism in men negatively affects general health and numerous conditions, including diabetes. The use of testosterone therapy in men has been increasing progressively year over year since the 1990s. As the most abundant biologically active gonadal hormone throughout the female lifespan, testosterone is also gaining recognition for its role as a vital hormone in women.

Pellets are inserted under the skin, where they are absorbed by the body over time. They have been studied since the 1930s. Practitioners reported complications in 0.785% of the procedures studied, the most common being implant extrusions, cellulitis/infection and bleeding at the delivery site. Pellet extrusion was more common in men (<3%) than women (<1%).

The study is the largest reported retrospective study to evaluate the continuation and complication rates of testosterone pellet implants. Practitioners self-reported procedure data, a limitation of the study mitigated by its large sample size as well as the fact common secondary procedures usually required office follow-up. As the study examined the risk of pellet delivery procedure, it did not analyze secondary reactions that can occur in women, such as acne or body hair.

The safety of hormone pellet implants in men and women over the long term appears to be better than other routes of administration, said Terry S. Weber, CEO of Biote. We are hopeful that this study motivates further inquiry so that women and men managing hormone-related conditions like menopause, diabetes and hypogonadism benefit from a broader continuum of care options within standard clinical protocols.

Testosteroneyou know it, you love it, you cant get enough of it. It helps you set PRs, keeps muscle on your body, and makes you more virile. At least thats mostly true. Its also true that testosterone, especially low testosterone, is misunderstood.

So we asked an expert for clarity. Dr. Faysal Yafi, M.D., F.R.C.S.C., the Director of Men's Health and Newport Urology and Chief, Division of Mens Health and Reconstructive Urology at the University of California, Irvine (thats a lot of accolades, so listen up) chatted with us about what testosterone is, how to make the most of it, and what to do as we start to ageand it starts to dip. Here are four key takeaways.

Want to make the most of your testosterone? Become a morning person.

Testosterone follows the circadianor basically the sleeprhythm, says Dr. Yafi. Testosterone levels are highest in the early in the morning, between 7:00 and 10:00, and lowest in the evening.

To take advantage of your boosted testosterone for a workout, a special moment with the S.O., or even to focus on a big project, make sure your mornings are clear.

The high levels early in the morning may be more conducive to better workouts and a bit more focus for many mensome more drive when someones trying to get things done. says Dr. Yafi.

While we may associate solid levels of testosterone with muscle growth and libido, it has implications for more than just physical wellbeing. Theres a lot of literature suggesting an association between low testosterone and depression and other mood disorders, and even early onset memory loss and dementia, says Dr. Yafi, as well as what we call a foggy braindifficulty concentrating and getting motivated.

Dr. Yafi often sees low-T patients in his practice become more mentally stable as their testosterone therapy progresses. They have more drive and theyre more focused, he says. Maybe they have better memory recall. We see this in the clinic all the time.

Theres testosterone for men and estrogen for women and those are the two big hormones, right?

Not quite.

Dr. Yafi explains that there are actually three kinds of testosterone. First, theres free testosterone, which is readily available for cells to use. The other two types of testosterone (and most of the testosterone in your blood) are attached to proteins in the blood called albumin and sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG), respectively. In addition to free testosterone, albumin-bound testosterone is also available for the body to use; these two types of testosterone are known as bioavailable testosterone.

The third typethe testosterone attached to SHBG proteinsis not available for use. Dr. Yafi says that SHBG increases as men get older, and so, too, does their SHBG-attached testosterone.

All of which is to say, according to Dr. Yafi, is that age-related testosterone decline doesnt necessarily reflect a mans total testosterone levels. You might only be losing a portion of your free testosterone. A blood test can help determine whether certain symptoms are actually caused by low testosterone.

Steroids are illegal to use without a prescription, so a lot of guys associate testosterone replacement therapy with those iconic locker room injections. But theyre not the same thing.

Testosterone replacement means increasing testosterone from low to normal levels, says Dr. Yafi, as you would for people who have low thyroid hormone, or diabetics who have low insulinbring them to normal levels.

In anabolic steroid abuse, people with normal testosterone levels supplement with steroids and bring their testosterone over the top. But if youve got low testosterone, then replacement therapy may actually improve your quality of life, says Dr. Yafi. And a bonus? Testosterone replacement therapy, when done in a clinical, appropriate way is extremely safe.

4 Things Your Doctor Wants You To Know About Testosterone - menshealth.com

Burundis Francine Niyonsaba, the 2016 Olympic 800m silver medalist who cannot race that distance anymore unless she takes testosterone-suppressing measures, ran an Olympic qualifying time in a different event, the 5000m, on Tuesday.

Niyonsaba clocked 14:54.38 at a meet in Montreuil, France, easily clearing the Olympic standard of 15:10.

No other woman from Burundi has ever run 15:10, according to World Athletics. A nation can qualify no more than three athletes to the Games in track and field events.

All three of the Rio Olympic 800m medalists Caster Semenya, Niyonsaba andMargaret Wambui said they are impacted by a rule instituted in 2019 that caps testosterone levels in womens events from 400m through the mile for athletes with differences of sexual development (DSD). World Athletics said that no female athletes would have a level above the cap five nanomoles per liter unless they had a DSD or a tumor.

Niyonsaba, 28, announced in February that she was moving up to the 5000m for a Tokyo Olympic bid. She ran her first 5000m on May 22 in 15:12.08, then the fastest recorded time for a woman from Burundi, according to World Athletics.

Semenya also moved up to the 5000m this year with a best time so far of 15:52.28. Semenya can also qualify for the Olympic 5000m via world ranking if she does not hit the 15:10 standard but reportedly said in April that its not about being at the Olympics.

Its being healthy and running good times and being in the field for the longest, the 30-year-old said, according to multiple reports. We had to look into can we do 200m for the next five years? It was not really in our favor. Im getting old Im scared to tear my muscles. We had to sit down and make sure that the decision that we make makes sense. Distance makes sense.

THURSDAY, June 3, 2021 (HealthDay News) -- Testosterone therapy can improve non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in obese men with functional hypogonadism and type 2 diabetes, according to a study presented May 25 at the 23rd European Congress of Endocrinology.

Kristina Groti Antonic, M.D., Ph.D., from the University of Ljubljana in Slovenia, and colleagues examined the effects of testosterone therapy on morphology and grade of NAFLD in a two-year trial involving 55 obese men with functional hypogonadism and type 2 diabetes. Participants were randomly assigned to receive 1,000 mg of testosterone undecanoate (TU) for both years of the study or to receive placebo in the first year and TU in the second year (28 and 27 participants, respectively).

The researchers found that after two years of TU, liver assessment showed statistically significant improvement in NAFLD grades. Testosterone therapy normalized testosterone levels within the first year, and after the second year of the study, they remained in the normal range. During the two-year trial, there were no adverse events or side effects for TU.

"Our study shows that testosterone therapy could be used as a suitable therapy for obese men living with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, and therefore the findings can be used to tackle this growing pandemic," Groti Antonic said in a statement.

When it comes to men, what works best for sexual health

A man's sexual health, like any other subset of health, is linked to a whole variety of good lifestyle choices. Narratives of these subsets often create the illusion that one part can be improved, without overall improvement in these choices, an outcome of the unfortunate perception of the body as the sum of independent parts, as opposed to being one holistic system. Here's a path at home to better sexual health involves some classic choices that go with a healthy lifestyle.

Sound Sleep and Regular Exercise

Data at Misters reveals that 31.7 per cent of people who have good sleep -- regularly more than seven hours-- have high erection confidence, while only 18 per cent of people who sleep less than five hours a night have similar confidence about their erection. Similarly 19.5 per cent of men who do not exercise regularly report ideal ejaculation experience--in terms of duration of intercourse--while 27 per cent of people who get some exercise report a similar experience, there is sufficient clinical research that establishes the causation implied here.

Therefore the ideal steps to take towards better sexual health for men are steps that are good for their overall health. The general advice, 'sleep well, and get some exercise regularly', seems to hold true for sexual health as well. Interestingly, getting some exercise itself is likely to improve the quality of sleep, so that might be the best first step. Other ways to improve sleep include eating dinner early, and cutting down on caffeine--so limiting tea, coffee or soft drink consumption.

Ayurveda is the Key to Better Sexual Health

This is one reason why Ashwagandha is often suggested for better sexual health in Ayurveda. Given its clinically studied action to reduce stress, it helps with the quality of sleep, and is probably a great addition to your daily routine. While it is not part of a regular diet, there are some great OTC formulations like Ashwagandha Pro that can be consumed regularly for both direct and indirect improvements in sexual health.

Lack of sleep, and a greater need for sleep to function well, is also often caused by a drop in free testosterone, the male hormone. It has been established that testosterone peaks in men in early adulthood, and starts declining at the rate of 1 per cent a year from around age 40. Testosterone also has a direct impact on sexual function, with very low levels being associated with a drop in libido, reduction in number of morning erections, and other such challenges which include seventeen signs of male ageing (as established from the Ageing Male Symptoms (AMS) questionnaire) that also include stress, anxiety, loss of strength, and increase in aches and joint pain.

It is no surprise that one of the other most widely used Ayurvedic ingredients to improve sexual health is Shilajit, which is known to improve free testosterone and therefore is a great option for improvement in sexual function.

Ayurveda is of course a comprehensive system, rather than a set of symptomatic treatments, and therefore any ayurvedic expert, after careful questioning will typically draw up a diet plan that includes both foods to include in, and those to exclude from, a person's diet for holistic improvement.

Yoga to Boost Sex Drive

Most Ayurvedic experts also suggest adding yoga to the regular routine for improvement in sexual function. A few Yoga asanas like Kumbhakasana (Plank Pose), Dhanurasana (Bow Pose), Uttanapadasana (Raised Leg Pose), Paschimottanasana (Seated Forward Bend), Naukasana (Boat Pose) are associated with improvement in sexual function but these should be attempted only as part of a comprehensive yoga plan, defined by an expert.

Summing Up!

Better sexual health is often about better health!

A neighbourhood policing group made the parents of young party-goers clean up the mess left on a football field.

The parents of a gang of testosterone-fuelled youths were handed rubbish bags and ordered by police to clean up the aftermath of a party on a football field in the United Kingdom.

Police came across a trail of wanton destruction on a football field in Derbyshire, England, at the weekend, following an unauthorised party.

In a post online, a community neighbourhood team, which is part of the Derbyshire Police, said a gang of testosterone-fuelled youths turned up to a local football club and held an impromptu unofficial open-air party, leaving a trail of wanton destruction, litter and vomit behind.

Mercia Safer Neighbourhood Team said that the Hilton Harriers Football Club did not give permission for the party, and that a number of parents had somewhat unbelievably pre-arranged to drop their children off at the field, some driving long distances to do so.

... It was very disappointing when officers attended the location, to see that the facilities had been covered and strewn with alcohol bottles, beer cans and other after-dark materials, the policing team said.

As a result, the parents of the children involved were called by police, and they and their children were given rubbish bags and ordered to clean up the mess.

A neighbourhood policing team posted a harsh message online to the youths who left a mess on a UK football field.

A number of other youths who fled the incident can expect visits from officers in the coming days, the post said.

According to the BBC, the parents of at least four boys, aged 15 and 16, were called to the field. No-one was arrested and no fines were issued, the BBC reported.
