The shape of your face depicts much about a person, as well as changing the perceptions held about said individual by those around. When it comes to people left at a disadvantage, few would imagine that a wide-faced man would be least likely to have friends. After all, he is viewed as aggressive and untrustworthy. Furthermore, wide-faced individuals incur selfishness in those around them, meaning they will be faced with kindness less frequently. UC Riverside professors had found in a previous study that wide-faced people are actually quite literally more aggressive and untrustworthy. It was noticed that such a face corresponds with proneness for deception, lying and cheating their way through life. Building on that study, researchers at the university discovered that the lack of trust creates an aura of selfishness which translates into less desire for interaction and sharing with the wide-faced individual. This, in turn, could result in anti-social behavior and, particularly, crimina…

The results are published in the journal JAMA, and the study was led by Dr. Stacy Loeb, of the NYU Langone Medical Center in New York City. She says: “What our study results show is that groups of men who are more likely to get malignant melanoma include those with higher disposable incomes and education – men who likely can also afford more vacations in the sun – and who also have the means to buy erectile dysfunction medications, which are very expensive.” The researchers looked into the link because a recent study based on 14 cases of malignant melanoma among men taking phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitors – which also include vardenafil (Levitra) and tadalafil (Cialis) – saw an increased risk. The enzyme PDE5 is the target of oral erectile dysfunction and part of a pathway that has been implicated in the development of malignant melanoma. Among the more than 20,000 men whose records were studied, 4,065 were found to have malignant melanoma between 2006 and 2012. In that grou…

The Mediterranean diet is linked to improved cardiovascular performance in patients with erectile dysfunction, according to research presented at EuroEcho-Imaging 2014 by Dr Athanasios Angelis from Greece. Patients with erectile dysfunction who had poor adherence to the Mediterranean diet had more vascular and cardiac damage. EuroEcho-Imaging is the annual meeting of the European Association of Cardiovascular Imaging (EACVI), a branch of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC), and is held 3-6 December in Vienna, Austria. Dr Angelis said: “Erectile dysfunction is not a symptom of ageing, it is a bad sign from the body that something is wrong with the vasculature. In 80% of cases erectile dysfunction is caused by vascular problems and is a warning that patients are at increased risk of a heart attack or stroke.” He added: “The Mediterranean diet is associated with lower cardiovascular events and could be a way to help erectile dysfunction patients lower their risk. We wanted to invest…

Here is one BIG mistake you can make when shaving that causes painful ingrown hairs and unsightly skin. Every now and then everybody gets an ingrown hair – and some more so than others on a daily basis. So what causes ingrown hairs and how can you prevent them? According to Dr. Oz, how you shave may be the reason why you have those painful and unsightly bumps. “They’re painful, they’re unsightly and…well…they’re kind of gross too—I’m talking about ingrown hairs. Today we are going to talk about them and more importantly—how to get rid of them,” says Dr. Oz who tells viewers that their choice of razor they use may be the cause of their ingrown hair problem. Ingrown hairs are just what they sound like—hairs that rather than stand straight or are slightly flexed wind up curling down and reentering the skin through an open pore. The problem with this is that it leads to infection and inflammation that can result in a pus-filled sore that is not only unattractive to y…
