Impotence Linked to Restless Legs Syndrome
Men who struggle with restless legs syndrome face a higher risk of impotence, a new study suggests. The study, by researchers from Harvard University, builds on earlier research by the scientists that found that impotence, or erectile dysfunction, was more common among older men with restless legs syndrome and the more frequent the symptoms of the sleep disorder the higher the risk of impotence. This research involved more than 11,000 men, with an average age of 64, who did not suffer from impotence, diabetes or arthritis. Men who experienced restless legs syndrome symptoms up to 14 times a month were 68% more likely to struggle with erectile dysfunction, the study found.

Bad Acne Linked to Suicidal Thinking in Teens
Compared to their clear-skinned peers, teens who have bad acne are more than twice as likely to have mental health problems and are at greater risk of having suicidal thoughts, according to a new study of Norwegian youth. Nearly all teenagers have some pimples, and up to one in five will develop a moderate to severe case of acne. A bad complexion can be psychologically devastating at “a critical point in human development where self-image and confidence are being established,” says Jerry Tan, MD, a dermatologist at the University of Western Ontario, in Canada.
