This weekend when Prime Minister Narendra Modi spoke about how India is taking rapid strides in development, of special note was the emphasis on moves such as appointment of women in military service (where they are now eligible for command posting), their induction as fighter pilots, and women being allowed to work in mines at night as well. While the strides in education cannot be overstated, womens entry into spheres long designated as too dangerous for them carries a distinct meaning and specific implications for the future.

These are in line with what European Central Bank president Christine Lagarde has said many times: If it had been Lehman Sisters rather than Lehman Brothers the world might well look a lot different today. This hypothesis was born in 2008 in the wake of the global financial crisis, where male domination of the banking industry led to reckless decision-making groupthink. Admittedly its not that there is some singular masculinity. Instead multiple competing masculinities exist shaped by class, culture and other factors. But that maleness is the no 1 risk factor for homicides across many countries, speaks to the undisputed reality of what a combination of nature and nurture has delivered. Introduction of diversity (with doses of estrogenal prudence) in decision-making is a logical way to mitigate testosterone linked aggressive, high risk behaviour and achieve better outcomes.

The thing about toxic masculinity is that, even disregarding its effects on others, it tends to create a very unhappy self. Boys dont cry is a statement of both social and individual sickness. Even if one cannot generalise the character of all women, there is a very powerful social case for dialling down the testosterone overdose with female participation and leadership.

This piece appeared as an editorial opinion in the print edition of The Times of India.

Testosterone Rex: The case for greater female participation and leadership in risk-heavy spheres - Economic Times

A Long Island man is facing a host of charges for allegedly posing as a medical professional and running an illegal health clinic, where he treated patients.

Brian Michael Kaufman, 45, of Smithtown, allegedly ran Mens Health Solution of Smithtown on Middle Country Road, despite not having a medical license, Suffolk County DA Tim Sini announced.

He allegedly treated patients, including testosterone and steroid injections.

The investigation into Kaufmans practice determined that he allegedly has been operating the medical practice since at least August last year.

When he was arrested, Kaufman admitted to investigators that he was not licensed to practice any medical profession and had no training to provide medical services or provide testosterone replacement therapy, the DA said.

Mens Health Solution of Smithtown has since shuttered its doors.

"This individual put lives in danger and posed a clear threat to public health by masquerading as a medical practitioner," Sini said in a statement. "He did not have patients; he had victims. We are asking those victims to please contact the District Attorney's Office with any information they may have about Kaufman's alleged scam."

Kaufman has been charged with:

"This case is significant because it unearthed a convicted felon playing doctor who jeopardized his 'patients' lives," DEA agent Ray Donovan said. "In order to safeguard our communities, law enforcement has to act fast when they see someone threatening public health and safety.

"In this case, Brian Kaufman's alleged testosterone trafficking ring put people in harm's way while committing several crimes."

If convicted, Kaufman faces up to seven years in prison on the top count. He was arraigned this week and released with a GPS monitoring device. He will also be subjected to drug testing and is under travel restrictions.

Anyone who has received medical services from Kaufman or at Mens Health of Smithtown has been asked to contact the Suffolk County District Attorneys Office by calling (631) 853-8087.

On Thursday nights, ABC gives us A Million Little Things, a drama that is sappy and sassy at the same time. The show revolves around a group of friends and loved ones with interconnected lives. The characters often face hairy situations, dish out tough love, support each other unconditionally, and of course, cheer for the Boston Bruins.

A Million Little Things has been called the Alphabet Networks answer to NBCs This is Us, but the show has proven to be one of a kind. As for the shows popularity, the hefty Greys Anatomy lead-in doesnt hurt. But the reason that fans of A Million Little Things return week after week is because of the beautifully flawed characters they can relate to.

Season 2 Episode 14 drew viewers further into the seasons story arc. This week, the shows youngsters were front and center with meaty plots and high emotional stakes. The episode appropriately titled The Sleepover, prompted several conundrums surrounding the junior members of the tribe.

Inthe episode, Delilah greenlights a sleepover with Danny and his adolescent crush,Elliot. The boys had hit a rough patch for a while, but their relationship rebounded.Just as things had started to go smoothly, Elliot blindsided Danny with sadnews. He and his family were preparing to move away.

Gary,who was playing chaperone while Delilah met up with Maggie, offered support inthe form of snacks, witty banter, and testosterone-driven action flicks. Alas,no amount of hot sauce-doused popcorn could soften the blow of Elliots imminentdeparture. Only time could heal this wound.

The next morning as Elliot was saying his last goodbye, he left Danny with a parting gift. He gave him a video game token from their first formal hangout. Twitter users reacted to the sweet gesture between the smitten young boys.

Yall We just want Danny to behappy!! tweetedone fan.

The goodbye seemed to be pretty final, but if Twitter fans have anything to say about it, Elliot will return or Danny will get a new love interest.

While Gary was supposed to be babysitting Danny and Elliot, he literally fell asleep on the job. So Delilah and Danny did the only logical thing they tucked the sleeping man-child into Sophies pink sleeping bag.

The following morning, Colin the dog with a human name sniffed out something skunky in the bottom of the fluffy pink sleeping bag. Gary investigated further and found a stash of doobies tucked away.

Wasit the best hiding place for a bag of pot? All signs point to no.

Garyhanded over Sophies contraband to Delilah, who pondered what comes next.Considering the relationship repair she has had to do with Sophie since the bigreveal about Charlies paternity, Delilah will likely tread likely. Still,Sophie has some explaining to do.

The renewed trust between Delilah and Sophie is in danger of going up in smoke, along with the reefer.

Perhapsthe most satisfying part of the latest episode was observing Theo in full tweenangst mode. Theo demanded answers from Eddie when the elder Saville broughthome his protg turned gal pal, Dakota.

Areyou gonna have a baby with her too? Theo fired.

Upuntil now, the kid has been holding back on expressing himself but has finallyfound his voice. On the heels of learning that infant Charlie is hishalf-sister on account of his dads affair with Delilah, he has the right to lobtough questions. And he does, to the surprise and delight of Twitter.

Oh, and if there was an award for shade and side-eye Theo would win, hands down! one viewer quipped.

This episode tied up a few threads but left plenty of dangling questions. Fans can only hope to discover some more answers in next weeks episode.

A Million Little Things airs Thursday at 8 p.m. on ABC.

Testosterone Replacement Therapy analysis by stage of development - TechNews.mobi

Recent sightings of whitetail bucks that are still carrying antlers in mid-February have gotten my attention.

If I had a dollar for every time Ive heard that bucks will shed their antlers early if the winter starts out miserable and cold, then Id be able to start a recovery fund of moneyto put our kids throughcollege. That said, when it comes to bucks shedding antlers, I admit, Im no biologist. Ive always believed nutrition, water and climate affectwhen bucks would start losing their antlers. And when others share theories with me about this, I usually just listen, add their thoughts to my own, and just move on to the next thing.

Butwhen my pal Vicky Griswold from Colrain sent me a picture of a mature buck still carrying a full set of horns on Feb. 5, I began to question these theories of when and why bucks drop their antlers. After confirming some things I already knew, I began uncovering facts that enlightened me about this wonder of when and why whitetail bucks shed their antlers. And as you read on, you may find yourself enlightened as well.

Antler development is dependent on photoperiod (hours of daylight per day) and testosterone levels, not necessarily temperatures. Antler drop is also dependent on these same principles. High levels of testosterone are necessary to keep a bucks antlers firmly attached to his skull. When testosterone levels drop, antlers loosen and begin to shed. Some wildlife biologists take it a step further, sayingthat testosterone levels are affected not only by photoperiod, but also poor nutrition, injuries and dominance.Testosterone levels are also affected by the presence of does that are in estrus. In Massachusetts, most does are bred between mid tolate November, but if unbred does are present, bucks will keep their antlers longer. Another factor is continued fighting between bucks, which could be related to additional does in estrus. If bucks continue to spar late into the winter, testosterone levels stay up, thus their antlers will stay on longer. And thats something that just never occurred to me in over 50 years of studying and chasing whitetail deer.

Trying to really explain this to someone requires a good understanding of the antler cycle itself, as whitetail deer are distributed all over the United States with varying climates playing a role at the beginning of this cycle every year. In temperate zones, antler growth commences with increasing daylight in the spring, and with that comes the corresponding rise of breeding hormones. Antlers are initially covered in velvet and laced with blood vessels. By mid-to-late summer, the antlers have begun to harden, or calcify. Blood flow declines and finally stops, and the velvet peels away quickly often aided by a buck scraping his antlers against fence posts, shrubs or trees as summer progresses into autumn.

By late October, antlers are fully hardened and bare for the rut season, when bucks begin establishing breeding dominance. The timing of antler drop commences with diminishing daylight and falling hormones after the height of the breeding season. Antlers begin to weaken when special cells called osteoclasts that live at the base, or pedicle, of the antler reabsorb its calcium. Eventually the antler drops, leaving a bloody pedicle that quickly heals over. Antlers dont always shed at the same time, and bucks with one antler are not uncommon sights in winter, especially in the Northern tier(s) of the country. But in the Upper Midwest, bucks may begin dropping antlers in early December, while their Florida or Gulf Coast counterparts may retain them and remain in rut into mid-winter or later because of the drastic change in latitude of those regions. However, weakened bucks will shed their antlers much earlier, just like anywhere else.

Regarding Vickys picture, I believe the excellent acorn crop we experienced this past year might have helped with this bucks health and antler development, adding those important, special nutrients to their diet. Thats just another theory, however, a week later, Vicky sent me another picture of a smaller buck looking just as healthy and, you guessed it, still carrying a set of tall spikes in the middle of February. That certainly leaves us with something more to think about.

Lastly, heres a breakdown I thought you might find interesting of the final statewide deer harvest totals (by zone) for 2019. Note: The 13,921 final tally is the second highest on record,629 less than 2018.

Zone 1 310 total (218 adult males, 84 females, 7 button bucks)

Zone 4N 526 total (389 adult males, 125 females, 12 button bucks)

Zone 4S 312 total (228 adult males, 74 females, 10 button bucks)

Zone 5 702 total (512 adult males, 160 females, 25 button bucks)

Zone 6 206 total (148 adult males, 49 females, 3 button bucks)

Zone 7 733 total (422 adult males, 267 females, 37 button bucks)

On the Ridge: Hook 'em Horns - The Recorder

Question: Why do some deer hold onto the velvet on their antlers so much later in the year than most others?

Answer: A birth defect known as cryptorchidism leads to lower than normal production of testosterone, the failure of one or both testicles to descend from the abdominal cavity into the scrotum, the lessening of most male characteristics and, in antlered species, full development is never really reached and the velvet on the antlers is retained later than the normal velvet-shedding period in late August to mid-September.

Bucks suffering from cryptorchidism generally do not act like other bucks. They really dont take part in the mating battles and rituals. They usually do not make buck rubs or scrapes. Their necks do not swell. Their tarsal glands on the inside of the deers rear legs dont secrete their hormone-powered leakings. The antlers are not shed, remain in velvet throughout the year and continue to grow, but usually in abnormal patterns.

Question: I am a retired veteran with a 70 percent military disability and want to know how if at all that could affect me. I would love to use my ATV to be able to get back into the state game lands area I used to be able to hunt.

Answer: In addition to other special permits for disabled hunters, the Pennsylvania Game Commission offers a permanent disabled persons permit that also allows the holder to apply for a towing vehicle placard. That placard will allow the use of an ATV on designated state game lands roads open to ATVs.

There also are roads on state game lands specially designated to provide access for hunters who have been issued disabled persons permits. The land management supervisor in each of the commissions region offices can provide a current list for each county covered by that office: Southcentral, 814-643-1831; Southeast, 610) 926-3136; Southwest, 724-238-9523; Northcentral, 570-398-4744; Northeast, 570-675-1143; Northwest, 814-432-3187.

Question: Why do they call it the rut?

Answer: One of the most discussed topics among deer hunters, the rut is the mating season for ruminants like deer, bison and antelopes, as well as some other mammals like skunks and elephants. Its marked in males by an increase in testosterone, body bulk and muscling, glandular secretions, aggression and interest in females.

According to merriam-webster.com, use of the word rut to describe all that dates back to the 15th century. The Middle English rutte was derived from Middle French ruit for disturbance, which was derived from Latin rugire for roar.

Question: Does the ban on urine-based deer attractant in chronic wasting disease management areas include artificial urine scents?

Answer: According to the Game Commission, artificial scents are not banned under the existing CWDMA regulations. They must be fully artificial.

MedicalResearch.com Interview with:

Robert E. Dudley, Ph.D.Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and PresidentClarus Therapeutics

Dr. Dudley discusses the recent announcement that Clarus Therapeutics, Inc. has launched JATENZO (testosterone undecanoate) capsules for the treatment of appropriate men with testosterone deficiency (hypogonadism):

MedicalResearch.com: What is the background for this announcement?

Response: JATENZOis the first and only oral softgel testosterone undecanoate and the first oral testosterone product approved by the U.S. FDA in more than 60 years.JATENZO is indicated for testosterone replacement therapy in adult males for conditions associated with a deficiency or absence of endogenous testosterone.

The launch of JATENZO means that physicians and men living with testosterone deficiency due to genetic or structural abnormalities finally have a safe and effective oral testosterone replacement therapy. We are proud to commercially launch this unique oral formulation to healthcare providers and the appropriate patients who they treat. JATENZO is now available at pharmacies across the country.

MedicalResearch.com: What are the main findings of the underlying studies?

Response: JATENZO was evaluated in a Phase 3 pivotal trial among 166 adult, hypogonadal men in a 4-month, open-label study with a topical testosterone comparator arm. The starting dose was 237 mg twice daily (BID) with meals. Dose adjustments (minimum 158 mg BID; maximum 396 mg BID) were made roughly 3 and 7 weeks after initiation of JATENZO based on average circulating testosterone concentration levels. 87% of JATENZO patients reached testosterone levels within the normal eugonadal range at the end of the study; peak testosterone levels were in close alignment with FDA targets.

Across all Phase 2 and Phase 3 trials combined, the safety of JATENZO has been evaluated in 569 patients who were treated with JATENZO for up to two (2) years. Liver toxicity was not observed with JATENZO in clinical trials.

Mild gastrointestinal adverse events observed with JATENZO were transient, manageable and did not lead to discontinuation.Decreased HDL cholesterol and increased hematocrit were associated with JATENZO use but did not lead to discontinuation of JATENZO. Only three of the 166 patients (1.8%) in the 4-month study experienced adverse reactions that led to premature discontinuation from the study, including rash (n=1) and headache (n=2). JATENZO was associated with an increase in systolic blood pressure. A boxed warning about the potential risks associated with elevated blood pressure appears on JATENZO labeling. Patients on JATENZO should have their blood pressure monitored.

Among the 569 patients who received JATENZO in all Phase 2 and 3 trials combined, the following adverse reactions were reported in >2% of patients: polycythemia, diarrhea, dyspepsia, eructation (i.e., burping), peripheral edema, nausea, increased hematocrit, headache, prostatomegaly (i.e., enlarged prostate), and hypertension.

MedicalResearch.com: How doesJATENZO differ from other treatments for testosterone deficiency?

Response: The launch of JATENZO is an important step forward in testosterone replacement therapy. The only other oral testosterone replacement therapy product ever approved by the FDA is methyltestosterone (an alkylated androgen) that has been associated with serious liver toxicity and is rarely, if ever, used today. Because JATENZO is formulated as a lipophilic prodrug, it bypasses the first-pass hepatic metabolism. No liver toxicity-related events were observed in clinical studies of JATENZO including in patients who took JATENZO at higher doses than recommended in current product labeling for two (2) years.

We believe JATENZO addresses a long-standing need for a safe and effective oral testosterone replacement product that meets current day FDA safety and efficacy standards. JATENZO enters a market where the vast majority of hypogonadal men are treated with injectable or topical testosterone products. JATENZO avoids administration challenges seen with these non-oral treatments it presents no injection site pain, no transfer risk, no mess, no skin irritation and no surgical procedure. Therefore, we believe a significant number of hypogonadal men will prefer JATENZO as an alternative to other forms of testosterone therapy.

MedicalResearch.com: How are men tested to determine ifJATENZO therapy is appropriate for them?

Response: According to the American Urological Association and Endocrine Society clinical guidelines, diagnosis of hypogonadism is determined by both the identification of symptoms and/or signs consistent with hypogonadism and blood test measurement of low morning total serum testosterone concentration (defined as <300 ng/dL, on two separate days). Healthcare providers should assess each patient individually for the appropriateness of JATENZO to treat their clinical hypogonadism.

MedicalResearch.com: What else should readers take away from your report?

Response: Clinical hypogonadism can be more complex than most people realize and left untreated, can have a profound negative impact for the individual. Men with the symptoms of hypogonadism have a real medical need that deserves appropriate diagnosis and treatment.

Clarus Therapeutics Lauches JATENZO - Oral Testosterone Replacement Therapy - MedicalResearch.com

HARTFORD Two transgender high school runners want to become defendants in a federal lawsuit that seeks to block them from participating in girls sports in Connecticut.

Terry Miller and Andraya Yearwood would be stripped of the right to run track this spring if a judge rules against a state policy that allows high school athletes to compete as the gender with which they identify, their lawyers argued in a court filing Friday.

Attorneys for three girls filed the lawsuit last week against the state board that governs high school athletics and several school districts.

Miller and Yearwood want a U.S. district judge to delay ruling on a motion that would expedite a temporary injunction against the state policy. Their attorneys indicated to the court they plan to file a motion to intervene in the case this week.

Plaintiffs should not be allowed to file a lawsuit whose core purpose is to exclude Andraya and Terry from the spring track meets, but then prevent them from participating in the lawsuit by not naming them as parties, attorney Dan Barrett wrote in Fridays filing.

Attorneys for the three girls who sued argued Tuesday against any delay and wrote that their lawsuit filed under Title IX, the federal educational law that bans discrimination on the basis of sex, followed the law by focusing on the policy and not naming the two transgender girls as defendants.

Notably, while there are a great many reported Title IX decisions on the books, Yearwood and Miller cite not a single case in which students whose interests or wishes would be adversely impacted by the requested relief were joined as parties, necessary or otherwise, the attorneys wrote.

Connecticut is one of 17 states that allowed transgender high school athletes to compete without restrictions in 2019, according to Transathlete.com, which tracks state policies in high school sports across the country.

Eight states had restrictions that make it difficult for transgender athletes to compete while in school, such as requiring athletes to compete under the gender on their birth certificate, or allowing them to participate only after going through sex reassignment procedures or hormone therapies, according to Transathlete.

Both transgender athletes are receiving hormone therapy as treatment for gender dysphoria, and both have hormone levels, including testosterone levels, circulating in their bodies that are typical for non-transgender girls, lawyers for Miller and Yearwood said in their filing. They are recognized as girls by their parents, teachers, teammates, coaches, and community.

The two seniors have combined to win 15 girls state indoor or outdoor championship races since 2017, according to the lawsuit.

One of the plaintiffs, Chelsea Mitchell, on Friday won the Class S 55-meter state indoor title by edging Terry Miller. She said it was her first win in a head-to-head race.

QUESTION: A high level of the male hormone testosterone leads to baldness in men.

True or False?

.

.

.

ANSWER

False. This is a myth. The rate of hair loss in men is largely a matter of genetic inheritance, not testosterone level. Nor is it a matter of too much sun, too much stress, or wearing a hat too often. Looking at your ancestors and relatives may give you clues to your own chances of balding.

SAN DIEGO Did you know that walking a half mile per day decreses the occurance of Alzheimers by 50%? This is just one of the ways Dr. David Kirk helps patients increase their mental function.

Dr. Kirk also has a list of nine foods that significantly help the brain. Whether it is fats for the brain to repair itself with or antioxidants to help clear out some of the nasty stuff, these foods are some of the best.

Dr. Kirk also says that having regular sex 3-4 times a week increases sex hormones which in turn increases brain plasticity. Estrogen encourages the birth of new neurons in the brain while testosterone increases the survival of new neurons.
