THE BLADDER: GENDER DIFFERENCES & PROBLEMS PEEING The bladder is a very stretchy, muscular sac that sits in the bottom of the pelvis. The bladder muscles are stimulated to relax or contract by a complex of nerves that are controlled without our conscious knowledge. The bottom of the sac has a small sphincter (similar to the function of the anus) that relaxes and opens when we will it to do so. WHY ARE CERTAIN CANCERS SO HARD TO DIAGNOSE? Pancreatic, ovarian, and lung cancers fall into this category. Reasons for a delay in the diagnosis of cancer include: Inadequate access to medical care. Lack of noticeable signs or symptoms in the early stages of certain cancers. Failure to seek medical attention for signs or symptoms suggesting cancer. Delayed diagnosis because of cancer NEW OSTEOPOROSIS SCREENING GUIDELINES The US Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) is a respected panel of health care experts who review the current medical literature to develop scientifically based screening guidelines for a variety of medical conditions. One of the conditions for which it has issued screening guidelines is osteoporosis, the last time being in 2002. IS ITCHING REALLY A SIGN OF WOUND HEALING? Histamine is a chemical best known for its association with itching during allergic reactions. Histamine is also released by cells in response to injury and is believed to contribute to itching, particularly in the early phases of wound healing.
