Breast discomfort is a normal part of being a woman. It is almost always not a sign of breast cancer. Breasts are mammary glands that are responsive to natural hormonal changes, especially fluctuations in estrogen, that occur at menstruation, menopause, and pregnancy. Hormonal changes can cause breasts to become hot, swollen, tender, and painful to the touch. “Breast discomfort is really common for women,” says Amanda Clark, M.D., assistant professor of obstetrics and gynecology at Oregon Health Sciences University in Portland. “We see it a great deal during early pregnancy, with menstruation, and during early hormone therapy at menopause.”

Thursday 8 May 2008   The Causes of the Current Ethiopian Soaring Inflation Rate: A Non-Technical Analysis May 7, 2008 — The most significant and daunting problem facing Ethiopia today is the rampant inflation rate. As reported by bloomberg.com, the Ethiopian Statistical Agency has reported that inflation for March 2008 has risen to 29.6%, food price inflation being even higher (39.4%). Some reports indicate the inflation rate in January 2008 to be in the range of 36%. According to Prime Minister Meles Zenawi, the causes of this rampant inflation rate are a growing economy, greedy merchants, and/or farmers who happen to demand higher prices for their products or an increase in demand. Let us use both economic theory and the facts on the ground to scrutinize the statements

The price of scrap iron has been soaring, turning the once humble material into a treasured and protected commodity. The international price of scrap iron rose by 36 percent last year, and in just the first four months of this year it has leaped by 73 percent. Over the past three years the price has increased 2.5 times. The skyrocketing price is the result of surging demand for less costly metal in the wake of price hikes for iron ore. Another reason is the growing use of scrap by steelmakers in Europe and Japan looking to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, as scrap emits much less carbon dioxide than iron ore when making steel. With prices rising, "resource nationalism" is kicking in, with Russia and Taiwan imposing controls on scrap exports. Meanwhile countries around the world

Doctors often cannot explain why one person develops cancer and another does not. But research shows that certain risk factors increase the chance that a person will develop cancer. These are the most common risk factors for cancer: -Growing older-Tobacco-Sunlight-Ionizing radiation-Certain chemicals and other substances-Some viruses and bacteria-Certain hormones-Family history of cancer-Alcohol-Poor diet, lack of physical activity, or being overweight Many of these risk factors can be avoided. Others, such as family history, cannot be avoided. People can help protect themselves by staying away from known risk factors whenever possible.If you think you may be at risk for cancer, you should discuss this concern with your doctor. You may want to ask about reducing your risk and about a sched

Hi, this article is worth to be read by you, girls. My-blogmedia posted it for you. Enjoy.Some dermatologists say that slathering on shiny lip glosses can actually increase your risk of developing skincancer. Of course, wearing any lip product without SPF doesn’t exactly shield the thin skin from sun damage. But the slick, shiny nature of the gloss could be making the sun’s UV rays hit harder, some experts say. “These lip glosses can make more of the light rays penetrate directly through the skin instead of getting reflected off of the skin’s surface,” says Dr. Christine Brown, a dermatologist at Baylor University Medical Center in Dallas. (You're covered, however, if you wear lip gloss with SPF.)At worst, say some dermatologists, the resulting sun damage can lead to potentially

Galactosialidosis is a glycoprotein storage disease. In patients with this disease Protective Protein/Cathepsin A (PPCA) enzyme is lacking in the body. This helps other two enzymes to breakdown oligosaccharides and it also protects Galactosidase and Neuraminidase from breaking down in lysosyme.. Thus with the absence of PPCA, B-Galactosidase and Neuraminidase are also lacking. There are three types of Galactosialidosis. First one occurs to infants from birth to three months age and is called early infantile Galactosialidosis. Second is late infantile type that comes in first few months after birth. Cardiac problems, hearing loss etc can be seen. Juvenile and adult type Galactosialidosis is seen in majority of people. Symptoms appear at the age of about sixteen. SymptomAbnormal bone functio

Introduction:Ovarian cancer occurs when a tumor forms in one or both of a woman's ovaries. The ovaries are a pair of small organs that produce and release ova or human eggs. The ovaries also produce important hormones such as estrogen and progesteroneThe ovaries are made up of many types of cells. Usually, cells divide to produce more cells only when the body needs them. This process helps keep us healthy. When cells keep dividing when new cells are not needed, a mass of tissue forms. This mass of extra tissue, called a growth, or tumor, can be benign or malignant. No one can catch ovarian cancer from another person.Cancerous tumors are malignant. This means they spread to other tissues and organs. Not all tumors, however, are malignant.There are many types of ovarian cancer, epithelial ca

From Axis of Logic : In a broadcast interview with Daniel Mermet on French radio*, former UN Special Rapporteur on the Right to Food, Jean Ziegler, stated that the current world food crisis is not due to nature, but to man. Introduction to the interview from the web site of 'Là-bas si j'y suis'*: "A return with Jean Ziegler to the causes for food riots that are appearing all over the world. Far from being a scourge like a drought or an invasion of locusts, there are people who are responsible for the famines that have struck thousands of men, women and children – the speculators and their logic of maximizing profit."  The rest of this article on the issue of world hunger is largely based on the interview with Jean Ziegler – "La faim du monde".

Every week in our clinic I get to hear about foot pain. It is one of the common problems and commonly misunderstood in medicine. Plantar Fascitis occurs along the medial arch of the foot that can manifest pain anywhere from the inside of the heel to just behind big toe. A huge number of people have falling arches, women more so than men. This fact along with the majority of humanity wearing shoes that aren’t fit for them is the reason Plantar Fascitis occurs so often. The plantar fascia is a strip of muscle and tendon that extends between the inside of the heel (medial calcaneal tuberosity) and then forks into 5 pieces that fall behind all the toe bones (metatarsal heads). Here are the treatments most commonly recommended. Take a look and see if you can figure out why the results

A raunchy Lebanese singer is causing controversy in Bahrain, where she is due to perform for the first time. All but one of the members of the Gulf kingdom's Islamist-dominated parliament have approved a motion urging the government to ban Haifa Wehbe's show.Haifa Wehbe has a reputation for wearing revealing clothes They objected on the grounds that the pop superstar's performance would be sexually provocative, violating Islamic conventions and Bahrain's traditions. Organisers had earlier promised she would dress modestly during the show.

A recent Vista update is causing headaches for users with USB devices. Microsoft last week re-released a software update intended to provide performance and reliability enhancements for Windows Vista -based and Windows Vista Service Pack 1-based systems. It was one of eight security bulletins and updates the company made available on April 8. Users who installed the update, however, soon found their USB devices unresponsive, particularly mice and flash drives. Removing and re-installing the programs reportedly did not immediately solve the problem. Microsoft confirmed the bug, but declined to provide further details. "We are aware of concerns that a recent Microsoft update may be causing problems with USB devices," according to a Microsoft spokeswoman. "We are investigating the matter and

Some of them are easy to control, while others are difficult or impossible to do anything about.Bacteria and SebumBacteria and Sebum are the root causes of acne. The bacteria P. acnes is found naturally in the skin, and so is Se-bum, which is produced by the sebaceous glands to moisturize the skin. Clogged pores, excess Sebum, and the P. acnes bacteria can combine to cause damage to the pores, which shows itself as blackheads, whiteheads or pimples.While it's fairly straightforward how acne forms, the harder question is why it forms.

As a woman, losing ones hair can be devastating. A woman's hair is more important to her than it is to a man. She also does not expect her hair to become thin, or fall out, in the same way that a man might. When this happens, she can become upset or depressed. Why would a woman's hair fall out?

After-Sex Mistake #1: Rolling over after reaching an orgasm and going to sleep. You may think that this is ‘natural.’ After all, didn’t you just have a long day at work and didn’t you just cater to fulfilling her sexual needs first before yours? But to your partner, dozing off right away means only one thing: insensitivity. In fact, most women will think this way, "now that he’s had his way with me, he’s done and just wants to sleep!". So how do you handle this situation especially when you are really sleepy after sex? Simply snuggle up to her and cuddle up a bit. You can stroke her hair too. (Better actually, as this may make HER sleepy!). After-Sex Mistake #2: Jumping out of bed and doing something else. If sleeping immediately after sex sho

Worldwide, there are 350,000 to 400,000 new cases of oral cancer diagnosed each year. Even with today's medical and dental advances, this number hasn't improved significantly in years. Oral cancer is particularly dangerous for two reasons: 1) it is routinely discovered late in its development and 2) oral cancer patients have a 20 times higher risk of developing a second cancer even five to ten years after the first diagnosis.Doctors can't explain why one person gets oral cancer and another doesn't, even when they have the same risk factors. The known risk factors include:Smoking and Tobacco Use - At least 75% of those diagnosed with oral cancer are tobacco users, including the so-called 'smokeless' tobacco.

Hi, It's interesting isn't it that intuition usually does rule. I have felt the same way for years also. I use sunscreen sparingly, and it's true that Vitamn D is mandatory for good health. Also, I've been reading a lot about Acai berries. I think (and this is my intuition) that it's better for everyone to eat what is indiginous to their area. It makes sense to me somehow that consuming locally grown foods can provide nutrients and protection that may be specific to the local population - like consuming local bee honey to treat seasonal allergies. Do you know anything about broccoli lotion sunscreen? I read a study that said it can protect from sun damage also but don't know if it's availale, or still in the experimental phase. So, I shall eat tomatos on the beach, correct? (lol).

Here is the 2nd part of my article about the causes and treatment of abdominal pain during pregnancy. 4) Placental abruption Placental abruption is the partial or complete separation of the placenta from the uterus. This is problem when it happens before the baby is born. There's wide variation in symptoms for placental abruption. Sometimes a placental abruption can cause sudden and obvious bleeding, but in some cases there may not be any noticeable bleeding at first. Some women reported only light bleeding or spotting. Woman might have uterine tenderness, back pain, or frequent contractions, or the uterus might contract and stay hard as a cramp or contraction that does not go away. It is also reported feeling of decrease in baby's activity, so immediate medical attention is recommended.

From: A man-made famine   The reason that today's price increases hurt the poor so much is that all protection from price shocks has been flayed away, by organisations such as the International Monetary Fund, the World Trade Organisation and the World Bank. Even the World Bank's own Independent Evaluation Groupadmits (pdf) that the bank has been doing a poor job in agriculture. Part of the bank's vision was to clear away the government agricultural clutter so that the private sector could come in to make agriculture efficient. But, as the Independent Evaluation Group delicately puts it, "in most reforming countries, the private sector did not step in to fill the vacuum when the public sector withdrew." After the liberalisation of agriculture, the invisible hand was nowhere

Young girls, particularly African American girls, are hitting puberty earlier, and it's lasting for a longer time. Environmental toxins, obesity, and psychological stressors have all been cited as possible reasons. Many girls now start to develop breasts as early as eight years old. The psychological consequences of early puberty can include depression and anxiety, eating disorders, sexual objectification, and early drug and alcohol abuse are just a few, and the physical consequences include a 50 percent higher risk of breast cancer. Obesity is considered a major cause, as are endocrine-disrupting chemicals such as phthalates, bisphenol A, and dioxin. These chemicals are often found in cosmetics and personal care products and they are also used in pesticides.
