Watercooler Chat: Baseball’s Historic Weekend

Wow, this has been some weekend for baseball. If you’re just waking up and haven’t seen the news all weekend, before you do another thing, you have to be aware that

3 major milestones were achieved this weekend.

1)      Barry Bonds (SF Giants) ties the all-time home run record set by the legendary Hank Aaron by hitting 755 home runs. Bonds has been close to tying this record for weeks, leaving everyone wondering just when it was going to happen. Now, we’re just waiting for him to officially break the record (which could happen any day now as well). .alex-rodriguez-picture-1.jpg

2)     Alex Rodriguez (NY Yankees) became the youngest major league player (32 years old) to hit 500 home runs.  Taking the field to the theme from the movie “The Natural”, ARod became only the 22nd player ever to reach this milestone. ARod’s had somewhat of a controversial year (although in New York, it’s kind of par for the course). In case you’ve forgotten, ARod and some mystery woman’s picture were splashed all over gossip columns coming and going from various “hot spots”. Not to be outdone, his wife Cynthia became the object of ridicule when she attended a Yankee game (accompanied by their 2 year old daughter) while donning a profanity laced t-shirt). Even with all of his domestic difficulties, he blew a kiss into the crowd (supposedly aimed at his wife and daughter) although his wife was running late and wasn’t in her seat (and the 2 year old wasn’t there because her Mom thought it would be too hot to be at the Park all afternoon). You can’t blame them though….who knew this game against the Kansas City Royals would put him in the record books?

3)      And last but certainly not least, Tom Glavine (New York Mets Pitcher) became only the 23rd player in MLB history to win 300 games. This is one of the most prestigious records in baseball.  It looks like we’ll be celebrating this milestone for a long time as there doesn’t appear to be anyone else who will hit this milestone for a very long time. The 41 year old Glavine was very gracious after the game and thanked his family for letting him focus on baseball.

Erectile dysfunction is a common type of male sexual dysfunction. According to a Testosterone Replacement Therapy Physician, it is usually caused by an impairment in the production of a sex hormone called testosterone. A number of other factors can cause erectile dysfunction. These include diabetes, a history of premature ejaculation, depression, certain medications, obesity, and certain medical conditions such as liver disease and diabetes.

A number of drugs can interfere with testosterone production. These drugs include the anti-diabetes medicine metformin, the anti-depression drug tianeptine, the antibiotics acyclovir and valproate, and several others.

The risks associated with treating erectile dysfunction

The risk of having a heart attack while taking these medications is similar to that of taking aspirin, and it is also greater than the risk of having a heart attack while taking the diabetes medicine metformin. However, the risk of stroke during these medicines is not as great as it is with aspirin or metformin.

The risk of having a stroke during these medicines is also not as great as the risk of having a stroke while taking diabetes medicines. The risk of having an episode of angina is greater than that of angina with diabetes. The risk of having a heart attack is greater than that of aspirin or metformin. However, there is a greater risk of stroke during these medicines. Most stroke patients receive treatment with aspirin, metformin, or both. The risk of having a heart attack is greater than that of using all of these drugs, and the risk of having a stroke is greater than that of using all of these drugs. The combination of aspirin and metformin reduces the risk of having a heart attack by 50%.

Adverse Reactions and Dosing of Acetaminophen In general, acetaminophen can cause fewer adverse effects when taken at lower doses than are used when taken at higher doses. The dose can also be increased, depending on the circumstances. The following adverse reactions, if severe enough, should not be taken at the same time as acetaminophen and should be stopped promptly: Tachycardia (normal heart rate). Flushing (even red or urinating).
