Former NFL players reporting concussion symptoms following head injury more likely to report erectile dysfunction and low testosterone levels Players reporting the most concussion symptoms have nearly twice the risk of ED, compared with players with the fewest symptoms The elevated risk was present even when researchers accounted for other possible drivers of ED as well as among younger players who suffered concussions Researchers caution that the exact biological mechanisms remain to be elucidated, but injury to the pituitary gland and downstream hormonal changes may be one possible explanation Players with ED should seek prompt evaluation for this common, highly treatable condition, which can also indicate the presence of other diseases, including cardiovascular illness and diabetes Clinicians treating patients with head trauma should inquire proactively about symptoms of ED and low testosterone Results may be relevant in other sports where head injuries are common, including h

According to the American Cancer Society, approximately one in nine men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime. It’s both the second most common cancer and second most common cause of cancer death in American men. Early detection is critical and can increase a man’s chances of survival. A Rensselaer researcher recently received the latest in a series of grants aimed at advancing current imaging technology, and developing new tools for diagnosis and treatment delivery. The most recent award, from the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering, will help him improve an image fusion technique — currently used clinically to enable biopsies for diagnosis — without external tracking devices.

Discovery shows how difficult-to-treat prostate cancer evades immune system and reports pre-clinical development of novel treatment and potential for combination use with immunotherapy drugs.
It is well understood that urban black males are at a disproportionately high risk of poor health outcomes. But little is known about how the neighborhood environments where these men live contribute to their health.
The style of tackling used in rugby may be associated with a lower force of impact than the style used in football, according to a preliminary study of college athletes released today that will be presented at the American Academy of Neurology Sports Concussion Conference in Indianapolis July 26–28, 2019.
The first step in identifying and treating infertility is often rigorous testing for women. However, only 50 percent of infertility is attributable to the female partner alone, 50 percent of couples have a male factor, according to Nikhil Gupta, MD, assistant professor of surgery. In May 2018, Dr. Gupta became the first andrologist and male sexual function subspecialist appointed to the faculty of Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School. He focuses on the treatment of male infertility, sexual dysfunction, benign prostate hyperplasia (non-cancerous enlarged prostate) and erectile dysfunction.
