Medicine Approved for Prostate Enlargement The U.S. Food and Drug Ad ministration (FDA) recently ap proved finasteride ( Proscar ) for the symptomatic relief o f benign enlargement (hyperplasia) o f the prostate, a condition which affects approximately 60 percent o f all men over the age of 50. Finasteride, which is not for use in women or children, is the first drug specifi cally approved by the FDA for prostate enlargement. Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) tends to occur slowly and is thought to be a reaction to hor monal changes associated with aging. The prostate gets larger and may block the urethra (the tube leading from the bladder to the penis). The flow o f urine from the bladder may be obstructed. Symp toms o f BPH include difficulty urinating, feelings o f incomplete bladder emptying, and an urgency to urinate. Enlargement o f the prostate has been associated with the presence of dihydrotestosterone. Finasteride causes the prostate to shrink in size due to its ability to prevent the con version o f testosterone to dihydrotestosterone. In order for this reaction to occur, an enzyme, 5-alpha reductase, must be present. Finasteride interferes with this en zyme, thus minimizing dihydro testosterone production. In some patients, more than six m onths of therapy may be required to re duce the size o f an enlarged prostate and improve urine flow. lone Cards lost to Colton By Anne Morter The lone Cardinals got an opening game reality check from the visiting Colton Vikings last Friday evening, Dec. 4, as the Vikings raced to a 61-43 victory. Colton hit the floor with a quick moving offense and a very tough in-your-face defense to overwhelm the Cards in the ear ly going and coast home with the win. The Cards had just one three- point bucket in the first quarter and managed just 16 points in the first half. The ball finally began to drop for the Cards in the fourth quarter but by then it was too lit tle and too late. Jim Logan led the lone scorers with 11 points. Kevin Kofstad of Colton was the game’s high scorer with 25 points. Aaron Heideman paced the Cardinals re bounding effort with 10 boards. Logal tallied four steals and David Wagenblast had three assists in the game. The Cards were ice cold from the floor where they hit just 16 of 56 for 29 percent. Colton shot 26 of 54 for 48 percent. At the line, lone was nine of 15 for 60 percent and the Vikings were eight of 12 for 67 percent. “ We ran into a buzzsaw,” noted coach Del LaRue. “ Colton was very, very quick and they played very good in-your-face defense.” He noted that the Car dinals couldn't handle the pressure and had trouble hanging onto the ball. “ When we did catch it, we couldn’t hit the basket,” he added. The Cardinals travel to Condon for the annual Condon Christmas Tournament this weekend. Lady Cards fall to Vikings By Anne Morter The lone Lady Cardinals made a good showing in their first outing of the season but their in experience caught up with them in the end as they fell to the visiting Colton Vikings, 45-50 Friday night, Dec. 4. The Cardinals led by as much as six points in the third quarter but Colton grabbed the momen tum and three lone starters were forced to the bench with five fouls, and the younger Cardinals couldn’t hold off the surging Vikings. Tanya Anderson led the Car dinal scorers with nine points, while Crystal Minster, Kim Bedortha and April Taylor each added seven. Sadie Blodgett of Colton led all scorers with 15 HEPPNER BRANCH Wishes you a Happy Holiday Season.
