Study: Bisexual men more prone to eating disorders than gay or straight men

Study: Bisexual men more prone to eating disorders than gay or straight men Dan Avery © Provided by NBC News Bisexual men are more likely to experience eating disorders than either heterosexual or gay men, according to a new report from the University of California San Francisco. Numerous studies have indicated that gay men are at increased risk for disordered eating including fasting, excessive exercise and preoccupation with weight and body shape. But the findings, published this month in the journal Eating and Weight Disorders, suggest that bisexual men are even more susceptible to some unhealthy habits. In a sampling of over 4,500 LGBTQ adults, a quarter of bisexual men reported having fasted for more than eight hours to influence their weight or appearance, compared to 20 percent of gay men. Eighty percent of bisexual men reported that they felt fat, and 77 percent had a strong desire to lose weight, compared to 79 percent and 75 percent of gay men, r

A Time to Man-Up: Supporting the Menopausal Women in Your Life

Normalizing menopause is the most important way a man (or anyone, really) can support a partner or the women in their life going through it, and there are myriad ways to treat many of the infamous symptoms caused by menopause that have unnecessarily and unjustly shrouded mid-life women in silence and shame.

Researchers use bacterial strains to measure host gene expression in mouse model

Researchers use bacterial strains to measure host gene expression in mouse model The bacteria Streptococcus pneumoniae colonizes the nasopharynx and can cause pneumonia. Then, it can spread from the lungs to the bloodstream and cause organ damage. This opportunistic pathogen commonly infects young children, those who are immunocompromised and the elderly. In 2015, S. pneumoniae infections worldwide killed an estimated 192,000 to 366,000 children under age 5. To understand how this pathogen adapts to different locations in the body, and also how the host responds to the invading microbe, researchers at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, the University of Maryland School of Medicine and Yale University School of Medicine measured bacterial and host gene expression at five different sites in a mouse model the nasopharynx, lungs, blood, heart and kidneys using three genetically different strains of S. pneumoniae.
