Coughs and Sneezes (1945)


Coughs And Sneezes (1945) British Public Information Films. Amusing health propaganda trailer on the dangers of sneezing. NHS in 1948, Public health, Colds, Coughs and Sneezes spread diseases, Modern Public Health Campaign Films. Post War era. Public Health Advice: The century between the first Public Health Act of 1848 and the start of the NHS in 1948 has been regarded as the golden age of public health. Coughs and Sneezes (1945), Modern Guide to Health (1947) and Jet Propelled Germs (1948) are three of the most amusing public health campaign films in the immediate post-war era. Often a filmic extension of wartime posters featuring rhyming slogans, the publicity was designed to show how thoughtlessness helps to spread not only the common cold, but also many other diseases. Indeed, the whole ‘coughs and sneezes’ campaign, which extended beyond the war, was far more to with fighting absenteeism than concern about people catching a cold. Director: Richard Massingham Production Company: Public Relationship Films Sponsor: Ministry of Information for Ministry of Health

Viagra and diabetes – the risk of male impotence

Do you have problems with erection? Erectile disorders aren’t quite rare, especially in those men who have blood sugar problems and diabetes. Erectile dysfunction is the most common sexual disorder in men, which is characterized by the decreased ability to get and keep erections hard enough for having penetrative sex. Despite the fact that ED has a purely physical manifestation, it is a psychological problem too, as it affects a man’s overall quality of life and causes relationship problems. The causes behind erectile dysfunction are numerous and range from health problems to substance abuse and medication side effects.

Being unable to control blood sugar levels is the primary reason for diabetic men to suffer from erectile dysfunction. Arteries tend to get damaged by high blood sugar contents and as a result less blood is able to flow to certain parts of the body, the penis being among them.

However, diabetes isn’t the only condition that is known to cause erectile problems. Numerous physical conditions such as high cholesterol, hypertension, neurological conditions, heart diseases, hormonal imbalance and blood vessel disorders raise the risk of experiencing problems with erection. Moreover, erection issues can be cause by medication side effects and substance abuse (alcohol, street drugs, smoking, etc.) Besides, certain psychological conditions are also known to cause sexual disorders in men: depression, anxiety, relationship problems, mental illnesses, etc.
