LONG TERM Testosterone Therapy Safety Reaffirmed---PUBLIC RELEASE DATE: 25-Nov-2014
New study in The Journal of Urology analyzed results from three independent registries, 17 years with a median follow-up of approximately 5 years
Although there is no evidence that T therapy increases the risk of prostate cancer (PCa), there were still concerns and a paucity of long-term data. In a new study in The Journal of Urology®, investigators examined three parallel, prospective, ongoing, cumulative registry studies of over 1,000 men. Their analysis showed that long-term T therapy in hypogonadal men is safe and does not increase the risk of PCa.
This report will be released next week, but link to the full report below.

"Yes I was joking. My point is hundreds of thousands of Cubans have escaped Cuba to the USA not the reverse. Cuba is not a workers paradise it is a totalitarian dictatorship filled with deprivation and despair."----thailiketoo
.
thailiketoo, I do not think anyone is saying its a workers paradise--- but what you do seem to be insinuating is that it was a free & open society before the uprising, if you lived there (& I do not doubt your word at all) under Fulgencio Batista, then you will know that this was far from the case--- Also when we talk about the Castro led takeover, please do remind the readers how the leader he (Castro) replaced got to be there..... Maybe he was democratically elected, ? Not quite was it thailiketoo. Batista (who was part of the army) first seized power in a 1932 coup, he was immediately recognized by America -President Roosevelt---to be fine & legitimate. After several years, Batista then left to retire & live in Miami, returning in 1952 as the people had elected Carlos Prio Socorras as President, a person who because of the social reform platform he ran on didn't suit a certain foreign government, Batista overthrew the democratically elected government . Once again his new regime was quickly recognized by President Eisenhower, & under Batista new rule, U.S. interests flourished and very little was said about democracy--or lack of it.
With the loyal support of Batista, Mafioso boss Meyer Lansky developed Havana into an international drug port. Cabinet offices were bought and sold and military officials made huge sums on smuggling and vice rackets. Havana became a fashionable hot spot where America's rich and famous drank and gambled with mobsters.
In 1953, Fidel Castro led an armed group of rebels in a failed uprising . Castro fled the country but Batista struck back with a vengeance. Freedom of speech was curtailed and subversive teachers, lawyers and public officials were fired from their jobs. Death squads tortured and killed thousands of (so called) "communists". Batista was assisted in his crackdown by Lansky and other members of organized crime who believed Castro would jeopardize their gambling and drug trade. Despite all this, Batista & Cuba remained a friend to Eisenhower and the USA until he was finally overthrown by Castro in 1959. Then it--Cuba- became the pariah & evil country that it is (to America) to-day.
With your comment about people leaving Cuba for the west-- please do put it in contexts, Doctors there are trained to a high standard in one of the better health care systems in the world, but are paid $70, so if I was one of those (or any of the other top professional's they train, engineers etc) I would much rather be doing plastic surgery in Miami, then helping the elderly people of Havana. I think its long been recognized in America, that what you get out of Cuba are far from what one would refer to as model citizens.....(I am not even mentioning Scarface) Another way if you do not accept this as a valid point thailiketoo is try matching the figures of the people wanting to get out Cuba before 1961....or want to get out from their neighboring countries ..Haiti etc.

Bottom line -- the old policy failed. So logically was the U.S. supposed to stick with that failure for another 100 years? Get real and MOVE ON.
Your right jingthing --its not Cuba that's been left behind with that policy, but America. I was talking to a group of Barclay's Bank UK people way back in the early 90s & they were having their annual staff meeting in Havana. Many people have been holidaying there, for some years---It's really quite silly to say things like, their a communist country & its illegal for your citizens , to visit there--then have one of your largest trading partners as China & not only welcome but actively seek their tourism.
Yes they had---or would have had, missiles 90 miles from the USA mainland, but at that time, the USA had missiles
just 210 "Yards", away from the soviet border --sitting in Turkey 1 they were placed there first----this, some people seem to have forgotten was what the argument was all about, the Cuba agreement was for both parties to take them away (& they both did).
If Russia or China had stationed its troops in a country like Cuba, then that government changed more then half a century ago, but they refused to leave, (let alone open a prison camp) what would the USA be saying. ? Sadly some Americans still feel its their right to be there.
If you want to judge Cuba's standard of living then do it against its nearest neighbor.--Haiti, which had the same sort of government that Cuba had pre the takeover, its an absolute basket case that America pores aid into, ranked the 15th most corrupt country in the world with levels of poverty regarded as among the most severe in the western hemisphere. 2
