Why men recover
faster from flu Scientists at Johns Hopkins
Bloomberg School of Public Health suggest men may recover more quickly from flu than women because they produce more of a key lung-healing protein. Called amphiregulin, the protein
is believed to be important for healing and recovery. The scientists say their
discovery could lead to new flu treatments, particularly new treatments for women.
Briefs or boxers?
Men have been asking the question for decades – which is best for fertility, briefs or boxers? However, researchers writing in the journal Human Reproduction think they have the answer. By testing more than 650 men the
researchers discovered those wearing boxers had 25 per cent higher sperm concentration, 17 per cent higher total sperm count and 33 per cent more swimming sperm than men who usually wore other types of underwear.

Prostate steaming gets the NHS go-ahead
A new treatment for benign prostate enlargement (BPE) is being offered by the NHS. The treatment involves a procedure carried out under local anaesthetic, where a small probe carries a puff of steam up the urethra to the affected area. The steam is thought to work by killing off some of the enlarged tissue, which can help ease symptoms. According to the NHS, BPE is
common in men aged over 50, and may cause difficulties such as having problems starting to urinate, having a frequent need to urinate and not being able to empty the bladder fully.

produced by a car’s engine could make drivers feel sleepy.
Wearing a tie or another type of restricting neckwear may stop your brain working properly because it could reduce blood flow to the brain, says a study published in the journal Neuroradiology. In tests, men had their brains scanned
while either wearing an open shirt or a tie that was fastened tightly. The scans revealed those wearing ties had a 7.5 per cent reduced blood flow to their brains.

blood flow was measured at 5.7 per cent lower compared with those wearing open collars.
