Don't Let Breast Implants Keep You From Breastfeeding

2011-04-30
Neither saline nor silicone breast implants have been shown to interfere with breastfeeding, although concern over the possibility of silicone seeping into breast milk has caused some women with silicone breast implants to avoid nursing. The FDA has found no link between silicone breast implants and a risk for nursing infants, and women with breast implants are encouraged to follow the guidelines by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) that women who are able to breastfeed do so for at least the first six months of a baby's life. In fact, the AAP issued a statement ...

2011-04-30
Washington, DC – A drug developed to treat Ewing's Sarcoma, a rare childhood cancer, may also help prevent human prostate cancer from spreading, as seen in new lab studies say researchers at Georgetown Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center, a part of Georgetown University Medical Center (GUMC). Published online April 29 in PLoS ONE, the researchers report that if the agent continues to work well in further laboratory and preclinical studies, it may be the first prostate cancer drug specifically designed to stop cancer spread, or metastasis.

Learn More About Florida's Child Abduction Prevention Act Florida's landmark Child Abduction Prevention Act (CAPA) was signed into law in January of this year. It is designed to give courts more power to act upon suspicions that a parent embroiled in a child custody dispute might attempt to take the child and flee to another state or country.

She found herself in the unenviable position of a hotly contested divorce and feared that her husband -- a native of the Czech Republic ...

Mayo Clinic finds robotic surgery effective for removing hard-to-reach throat cancer

2011-04-30
ROCHESTER, Minn. -- Robotic surgery has become a mainstream tool for removing an ever-increasing variety of head and neck tumors. Now, a team of head and neck surgeons from Mayo Clinic has found robotic surgery can treat cancer in the narrow, hard-to-reach area beyond the tongue at the top of the voice box. Some patients were able to avoid further treatment with chemotherapy or radiation, and most could resume normal eating and speaking. "We've known it's useful for tongue base and tonsil cancers, but we wanted to assess its effectiveness in the larynx," says Kerry ...

The rewards of doing 'something'

2011-04-30
People don't really care what they're doing—just as long as they are doing something. That's one of the findings summarized in a new review article published in Current Directions in Psychological Science, a journal of the Association for Psychological Science. When psychologists think about why people do what they do, they tend to look for specific goals, attitudes, and motivations. But they may be missing something more general - people like to be doing something. These broader goals, to be active or inactive, may have a big impact on how they spend their time. Author ...

Researchers discover mechanism that could convert certain cells into insulin-making cells

2011-04-30
Simply put, people develop diabetes because they don't have enough pancreatic beta cells to produce the insulin necessary to regulate their blood sugar levels. But what if other cells in the body could be coaxed into becoming pancreatic beta cells? Could we potentially cure diabetes? Researchers from UCLA's Larry L. Hillblom Islet Research Center have taken an important step in that direction. They report in the April issue of the journal Developmental Cell that they may have discovered the underlying mechanism that could convert other cell types into pancreatic ...

2011-04-30

The Penn team found that, among 68,115 cardiac arrest admissions analyzed through Medicare records, only 31 percent of black patients treated in hospitals that care for a higher proportion of black ...

Goddard building instrument to study reconnection

Goddard building instrument to study reconnection
2011-04-30
Whether it's a giant solar flare or a beautiful green-blue aurora, just about everything interesting in space weather happens due to a phenomenon called magnetic reconnection. Reconnection occurs when magnetic field lines cross and create a burst of energy. These bursts can be so big they're measured in megatons of TNT. Several spacecraft have already sent back tantalizing data when they happened to witness a magnetic reconnection event in Earth's magnetosphere. However, there are no spacecraft currently dedicated to the study of this phenomenon. All this will change ...

Dual-energy CT may be useful in evaluating the severity of gout, study suggests

2011-04-30
The incidence of gout is on the rise and duel energy CT has the potential to allow non-invasive diagnosis of the disease, according to radiologists at the University of British Columbia, Vancouver General Hospital, in Vancouver, BC. Gout is caused by the deposition of monosodium urate (MSU) monohydrate crystals that stimulate acute episodes of inflammation. Chronic tophaceous gout often presents as juxtarticular soft-tissue masses, distinct erosions, overhanging bony margins, and thickening of the synovium. Gout affects more than six million people in the U.S., and ...

Animal-assisted therapy decreases patient anxiety in pre-MRI setting, study suggests

2011-04-30
Patients who undergo MRI often suffer from elevated anxiety. Patient discomfort may cause poor image quality due to motion artifacts or early termination. Anxiolytic medications are currently used to reduce this anticipated anxiety , but animal-assisted therapy may be a non-invasive alternative treatment with fewer adverse effects, according to an exhibit being presented at the 2011 American Roentgen Ray Society's annual meeting. The project was conceived by a fifteen-year-old high student Allison Ruchman. During the course of her MRI, she experienced anxiety and ...
