Presentation Transcript

Objectives – We will discuss… • Facts – men vs. women • Leading causes of death • What makes men’s health different • Finding a doctor • Risk Factors • Know Your Numbers • Screenings • Stress • Lung Cancer • Diabetes Prevention • Injury Prevention • Prostate Cancer • Skin Cancer • Colorectal Cancer • Steps to a healthier you

Facts Average life spans: • Men: 74.8 years • Women: 80.1 years • Among those over 100 years old, 85% are women

Why the Difference? Men Women • Men eat more foods that raise cholesterol (red meat) • Men are more reluctant to seek preventative exams compared to women • More than 7 million American men have not seen a doctor in more than 10 years • Men do not feel comfortable talking about their health with their doctor • Excluding pregnancy, women make twice as many preventive care visits as men • Women have lower iron, which also could contribute to longer life. Estrogen was previously thought to have been linked, but now not supported as a cause.

Leading Causes of Death in Men 1) Heart disease 26.3 % 2) Cancer 24.1 % 3) Unintentional injuries 6.6 % 4) Chronic lower respiratory diseases 4.9% 5) Stroke 4.5% 6) Diabetes 3.0% 7) Suicide 2.2% 8) Influenza and pneumonia 2.1% 9) Kidney disease 1.8 % 10) Alzheimer's disease 1.8%

Why don’t men take better care of themselves? • Way they were raised. • Taught to “be tough” ignore aches and pains • In their 20’s are “indestructable” • In their 30’s too busy • In their 40’s may think it is too late • Fearful of exams

When was your last check-up? • Annual exam • Complete physical with chest x-ray and blood work? • How long do you wait between oil changes for your car? • Don’t wait until you have a problem

Finding a Doctor • Insurance may restrict you • Most men spend more time researching the purchase of electronics than choosing a doctor • Use preferred provider lists as a start • Ask friends and co-workers • Start with a general practitioner if healthy • Some plans require referrals for specialists • Go to someone you can feel comfortable talking to

Risk Factors What you can control What you cannot control • Smoking • Diet • Exercise • Alcohol intake • Stress Management • Age • Gender • Heredity

Know your numbers • Cholesterol (LDL=lousy, HDL=healthy)- Total cholesterol should be below 200; LDL (bad cholesterol) should be below 100, HDL (good cholesterol) should be above 40 • Triglyceride- should be below 150 • Blood pressure- should be below 130/80 • Glucose – fasting blood glucose should be below 100

Screenings – What you Need When What When • Obesity – (BMI) • Cholesterol • Blood Pressure • Colorectal Cancer • Diabetes • Depression • STI’s • HIV • Annually • Age 35 and older • Every 2 years • Age 50 unless high risk • Age 40 • Whenever needed • When sexually active or had unprotected sex

Men Managing Stress • Avoid stressful situations, whenever possible • Practice deep breathing • Exercise • Change your thinking • Do not fret about things you can do nothing about • You cannot change the stressor but you can change the way you react to it

Preventing Lung Cancer • Quit smoking NOW • Diet rich in fruits and vegetables • Test for Radon • Are you exposed to fumes at work and home? • Avoid second hand smoke

Diabetes Prevention • Increased fruit and vegetable consumption • Increase fiber intake • Decreased fat intake • Regular exercise • Most important: • Maintain a healthy weight • Know your body mass index (BMI)

Injury Prevention • Wear a seat belt, even on short trips • Follow the speed limit • Do not drink and drive • Wear a helmet (no exceptions), bicycle, motorcycle, skiing • Manage stress • Stay active to prevent falls maintain balance • Use appropriate lifting techniques • Practice gun safety • Take safety precautions • Ask for help when you need it • Practice safe sex • Protect yourself from the sun

Prostate Cancer • What is prostate cancer? • What causes prostate cancer? • Can you prevent it? • How common is it? (1 in 6 chance of getting it) • Is it serious? (1 in 33 chance of dying from it) • What are the symptoms? • Many men with prostate cancer often have no symptoms • Blood in the urine • Need to urinate frequently, especially at night • Weak or interrupted urine flow • Pain or burning feeling while urinating • Constant pain in the lower back, pelvis, or upper thighs

Screening for Prostate Cancer What Does “Screening” Mean? Main Screening Tools for Prostate Cancer • Screening means looking for signs of disease in people who have no symptoms • Screening for prostate cancer is looking for early-stage disease, when treatment is possibly more effective • Digital rectal examination (DRE) • Prostate specific antigen (PSA) test • The DRE and PSA test cannot tell if you have cancer—they suggest the need for further tests

Skin Cancer • Skin cancer most common cancer for all men and women • You are at greater risk if you have: • Family history of skin cancer • Many moles (more than 50 on your entire body) or large moles • Skin that burns easily (fair skin, blue eyes) • Sun exposure is single most preventable risk factor • Although skin cancer does not rank high on the US death statistics because it is very treatable, it is still the most common cancer in men and women.

Preventing Colorectal Cancer • Physical activity • Maintaining a healthy weight • Eat a healthy diet, with emphasis on plant sources • Choose foods and beverages in amounts that help achieve and maintain a healthy weight • Eat five or more servings of a variety of fruits and vegetables each day • Choose whole grains, rather than processed (refined) grains • Limit eating of processed and red meats

Preventing Colorectal Cancer • Highly curable if caught early • After the first abnormal cell takes 10-15 years to develop into colorectal cancer • Screening or testing is key in prevention • Regular screening at age 50 • Those who have a family history or other risk factors for colorectal polyps or cancer, such as inflammatory bowel disease, should talk with their doctor about starting screening at a younger age and/or getting screened at more frequent intervals

Steps to a Healthier You • Maintain a healthy Weight-watch the waist measurement and body mass index • Stay physically active- aim for 30 minutes every day • Don’t smoke • Manage stress • Limit alcohol- • less than 2 drinks per day- or as instructed by physician. • Know portion size for alcohol - 12 ounces beer, 5 ounces wine, or 1 ½ ounces of hard liquor = 1 drink. • Eat a healthy diet- include plenty of fruits and vegetables daily • Have regular exams and screenings

Stay up to date:, mental health.

• The discourse around mental health has made huge progress, but men's well-being is still inadequately addressed.
• Societal pressures and the prevailing cultural narrative surrounding masculinity often hinders men from addressing their emotional struggles.
• We identified five key strategies to help support men's mental health and increase awareness.

While many strides have been made in serious mental health conversations, one crucial aspect remains inadequately addressed: men’s mental well-being. The prevailing societal narrative surrounding masculinity often inhibits men from acknowledging and confronting their emotional challenges. Traits like strength, emotional resilience, and stoicism are typically associated with masculinity, and may inadvertently hinder men from seeking help, leading to adverse consequences for their mental health.

Empirical data presents a somber reality. The World Health Organization (WHO) states that depression is the primary cause of disability worldwide. Affecting both men and women but men are particularly reluctant to seek help for mental health issues. Men are 3.56 times more likely to die from suicide compared to women in the United States, according to the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. This shocking figure highlights the need for immediate action.

Breaking the stereotype associated with seeking treatment is essential to treating men’s mental health. Men are discouraged from asking for help because they are told it shows a sign of weakness and weakness is not something a man should ever show, which is reinforced by societal norms. Underreporting exacerbates the stigma, since men may choose to hide their feelings or symptoms to project strength in the face of social pressure.

Why mental health and human resilience are key to climate action.

How to tackle the mounting crisis of workforce mental health

In addition, men often utilize unhealthy coping strategies, such as substance misuse, to deal with mental health issues. This makes their illness worse and puts more obstacles in the way of getting professional assistance. Mental health problems and substance abuse often coexist, creating a vicious cycle that is challenging to escape on one’s own.

Men’s access to mental health services is further hampered by a lack of awareness about available resources and financial barriers. Furthermore, the intersectional problems that males from marginalized communities confront about their race, ethnicity, and socioeconomic position have a substantial impact on their experiences with mental health. Therefore, to properly address these complex demands, mental health must embrace intersectional approaches.

The burden of accountability: monetary stress

Men are frequently expected to provide financial stability in their families as the main breadwinner. Their mental health may be severely impacted by their responsibility, especially in uncertain economic times. One of the biggest sources of stress for males is money, which can lead to anxiety, depression, and other mental health problems. To make matters worse, men are expected by society to quietly carry this right, which exacerbates the pain.

One in four people will experience mental illness in their lives, costing the global economy an estimated $6 trillion by 2030.

Mental ill-health is the leading cause of disability and poor life outcomes in young people aged 10–24 years, contributing up to 45% of the overall burden of disease in this age-group. Yet globally, young people have the worst access to youth mental health care within the lifespan and across all the stages of illness (particularly during the early stages).

In response, the Forum has launched a global dialogue series to discuss the ideas, tools and architecture in which public and private stakeholders can build an ecosystem for health promotion and disease management on mental health.

One of the current key priorities is to support global efforts toward mental health outcomes - promoting key recommendations toward achieving the global targets on mental health, such as the WHO Knowledge-Action-Portal and the Countdown Global Mental Health

Addressing emotional well-being and loneliness

One of the important components of men’s mental health is emotional well-being, and loneliness is often overlooked yet significant. Society’s emphasis on stoicism and emotional restraint can leave men feeling isolated and unable to express their true feelings. The pressure to conform to traditional masculine norms can inhibit authentic emotional connections and contribute to a sense of loneliness. Moreover, societal expectations regarding relationships may add additional stress, particularly for those who struggle to meet perceived standards of success in their romantic or familial relationships. Addressing emotional well-being and loneliness is essential for promoting holistic mental health among men. Encouraging open communication, fostering supportive relationships, and challenging stereotypes around emotional expression and relationships are vital steps in promoting men's mental well-being and reducing feelings of isolation and loneliness.

Breaking the silence: advancing support and awareness for mental health

The rising issues of men’s mental health require urgent measures. To offer assistance and increase awareness, the following are helpful strategies:

1. Make help-seeking behaviours commonplace

We can normalize help-seeking behaviours by encouraging open communication. Public education will play an important role in this by opening up the conversation on the importance of men's mental health.

2. Reimagine masculinity

We can help break stereotypes and motivate men to prioritize their mental health by presenting role models that possess attributes such as vulnerability, empathy, and emotional expressiveness.

3. Early intervention and accessible resources

Treatment and early detection of men's health problems are essential. Men can get timely support if the treatments are available and made culturally sensitive as well as if options are more widely publicized.

4. Embrace interconnectedness

It's critical to understand the relationships between men's experiences with mental health. Interventions designed to address the unique needs of men from a variety of backgrounds, help close care gaps and advance fair access to mental health treatments.

5. Take a complex approach

Legislative measures, educational programmes, and public awareness campaigns are all necessary components of a comprehensive strategy for men's mental health by lowering stigma, expanding access to care, and creating supportive environments.

Global cooperation on men's mental health

Promoting men’s mental health awareness is a global issue that requires collaboration. We can build a society where everyone is motivated to prioritize their mental well-being by eliminating barriers to care, acknowledging the challenges faced by men, and promoting strong male role models. Men's mental health needs to be given the consideration and assistance it merits, and the only way we can do this is by cooperating and demonstrating unwavering dedication.

Why this fact about sperm matters for couples trying to conceive

A number of factors can play a decisive role in some couples' inability to conceive, which may lead them to turn to fertility treatments like IVF or IUI .

But before couples get to that point, they often seek advice from specialists. In women common infertility issues are associated with ovulation disorders, fallopian tube damage or inhospitable conditions of the uterus, according to Mayo Clinic . 

In men, most infertility issues are associated with vitality and quantity of sperm produced; and whether those sperm will live long enough or experience issues while trying to reach an egg within the female reproductive tract. "All sperm are not equal and even in men with proven fertility, it is common for nearly half of sperm to be dead when they're ejaculated," explains Timothy Moss, an associate professor of obstetrics and gynecology at Monash Health in Australia. "There are numerous health conditions that affect the viability of sperm, their ability to move, or even whether they are produced at all," he adds. 

It can be helpful to understand what some of these conditions are and for how long sperm can generally be expected to live. 

What is sperm?

The first thing to understand is that despite the words "sperm" and "semen" often being used interchangeably, they are actually different things. " Semen is a cocktail produced at the time of ejaculation that consists of sperm (produced in the testes) and fluid from the prostate and seminal vesicles," explains Dr. Paul Turek, a men’s fertility physician and the director of the Turek Clinic in San Francisco.

The sperm portion of that consists of developed or mature male sex cells that can fertilize a mature female sex cell - called an ovum or an egg, explains Moss. "A normal semen volume starts around 1.5 milliliters and a normal sperm count is somewhere between 12 and 16 million sperm per milliliter of semen," he adds. 

What is the main function of the sperm?

Like other cells in the body, sperm cells are produced and developed with a specific objective or design. "Sperm are highly specialized cells that have one purpose: to deliver genetic information from a male parent into the egg of a female parent," says Moss. 

Turek says semen helps sperm fulfill this function in two ways: by helping sperm cells propel themselves to where they need to be within the female reproductive tract, and by "keeping the sperm healthy, energized and buffered from the surrounding hostile vaginal fluid ."

How long does sperm live?

Once sperm is deposited during sexual intercourse, "sperm can survive from 1-2 days," says Turek. In  some cases , motile sperm can survive within the female reproductive tract for up to 5 days, "but the work environment needs to be ideal for them to do their job successfully," he says.

Most sperm won't live long enough to do so, however. Moss says that most sperm die "within about 12 hours," so it's only a small percentage of them that remain viable long enough for conception to occur.

How does IVF actually work? Plus what the process is like and how much it costs.

The Nanofibers in 3 Body Problem Are Real, and Yes, They Can Do That

But maybe not ~exactly~ like that.

The following story contains spoilers for Netflix's 3 Body Problem .

One of the biggest concepts introduced in 3 Body Problem is the idea of nanotechnology, and, specifically, nanofibers. The Three-Body Problem book's protagonist has this as one of his many skills, but since that character is split into five different people for Netflix's series, each character gets their own defining skills and qualities. Dr. Auggie Salazar (Eiza Gonzalez), becomes our nanofiber effort—she's revolutionized the field and technology, and sets the stage for what becomes the season's biggest and most horrifying set piece.

If you've already seen the scene, you know what we're talking about—but we'll recap just in case. As a way to preserve technology aboard an enemy ship—the Judgment Day, chartered by the reclusive billionaire and alien sympathizer Mike Evans (Jonathan Pryce)—Auggie's nanofiber technology is essentially used as an invisible, razor-sharp lattice. It brutally, violently, kills everyone on board—men, women, and children included—but leaves the Trisolan alien technology salvagable for the humans to take advantage of.

The scene makes for a great moment for Gonzalez to act, as Auggie is caught between pride for her technological advancements, and the horror of what that same technology is capable of carrying out. (As depicted in the season finale, her ideal use of the nanofiber tech is simply to filter water for settings that really need it, for example).

Here's a little bit more to know about nanofibers, in the context of 3 Body Problem.

What are nanofibers?

To put it simply, nanofibers are a super, super thin material that can be made from a super strong (and super thin) carbon material, and are generally good conductors of heat and electricity. If made to be super taut—as seen in the early-episode nanotech demonstration—nanofibers could theoretically cut through just about anything, while appearing invisible.

How do nanofibers fit into 3 Body Problem ?

With Auggie's role as the chief nanotechnology expert in 3 Body Problem, she becomes our primary character who sees the famed countdown in front of her eyes. This turns out to be, of course, because the Trisolarans know what her technology is capable of (spoiler alert: it's detrimental to them), and so they use their super-advanced Sophon computer technology to blast the countdown in front of her eyes, trying to coerce/convince her to halt her research.

And briefly, she does. But eventually she's called back to it, and we see the destruction of the Judgment Day and all aboard in Episode 5.

Can nanofibers really cut through boats, diamonds, humans, and anything else?

Netflix's Tudum interviewed Dr. Matt Kenzie , who is not only an associate professor of physics at University of Cambridge, but also the science advisor for showrunners David Benioff, D.B. Weiss, and Alexander Woo on 3 Body Problem— so basically, his calculations are what made the show's science go.

Kenzie says, in short, that nanofibers are too expensive and hard to contain to be made at a scale large enough for Auggie's company and the scene in the Panama Canal with the Judgment Day to play out—but that nanofibers could truly cut through "almost anything."

IGN also interviewed a Dr. Erin McDonald , who has a PhD. in astrophysics and serves as a consultant for the entire Star Trek franchise, to ask about 3 Body Problem . She says that from a material science perspective, the Judgment Day sequence is completely unrealistic ("in a way, that’s hot nonsense"). But as far as physics, she sees a way:

Atom bonds are extremely strong. That’s the nuclear bomb, right? Splitting an atom and releasing the energy that holds that atom. There’s tons of energy there. So, could you then chain them so they could cut through anything and destroy things? Suuuuuuuure. If you are going down that route, then yes.

So, the word "theoretically" is doing a lot of work here, but everything we see happen in that 3 Body Problem scene—from bodies slicing in half to backpacks slicing in half to the metal of the boat slicing like a loaf of bread— could happen (if, you know, the resources were there).
