Capsule Comments with Ernie Miatelio If you're a smoker and having an operation, quit as long as possible before, during and after the operation. Smoking constricts blood flow to the in- cision area, which slows healing. A new treatment for male impotence is being researched and should be available in about two years. It involves inserting a small pellet of a chemical called a "prostaglandin" directly in the urethra of the penis which will cause an erection within 5-10 minutes and lasting 30-60 min- utes. Osteoporosis is a disease characterized by low bone mass and deterio- ration of bone tissue leading to increased risk of fractures. It costs Can- ada's health care system nearly $700 million per year. Conservative es- timates say this cost will triple during the next 20 years.
