In 1999, the results of the research findings were published. The following summary is quoted directly from that report:

1. The rate of death from brain cancer among handheld phone users was higher than the rate of brain cancer among those who used non-handheld phones that were away from their head
2. The risk of acoustic neuroma, a benign tumor of the auditory nerve, was 50% higher in people who reported using cell phones for six years or more
3. The risk of rare neuro-epithelial tumors on the outside of the brain was more than doubled in cell phone users as compared to non-users
4. There is some correlation between tumors occurring on the right side of the head and use of the phone on the right side of the head
5. Laboratory studies looking at the ability of radiation from a cell phone’s antenna to cause functional genetic damage were definitely positive

In other words, the research found genetic damage, leakage of the blood-brain barrier, cellular dysfunction and a tripling in the risk of rare neuroepithelial tumors and rare brain tumors in people using cell phones versus those who did not use cell phones. In fact, the tumors even correlated to the side of the head where the subjects reported using the phone most often.

There are several different reasons why a drug abuse intervention will save someone’s life, and there should be no hesitation when it comes to whether or not to use an intervention to help someone.

Saves a Life With Drug Abuse Intervention

It is possible for an addict to be physically injured or even killed while trying to purchase their drugs, depending on where that is. The same danger exists for the people around the addict as well. The addict may think that the dealer is their friend, but the criminals that deal drugs are, in no way, a friend to anyone. In that situation, the addict is playing Russian Roulette with their life, even though they may not realize or acknowledge it. The user thinks the drug dealer is a friend. When trouble comes, that “friend” can turn ugly very fast.

Stop The Possibility of Legal Distress or a Police Record

If the addict is ever caught using or carrying anything that suggests use, severe legal trouble and a record will happen. The legal issues will cost money many addicts and their families do not have. On top of the fact the addict may serve prison time, the charges will follow them for the rest of their lives, making it difficult to get a job or even rent a place to live. If prison time has to be served, it can be a traumatic experience and difficult to readjust to society afterward.

For many women, the choice to have tubal ligation surgery is not all that difficult. For instance, if a woman knows that she is finished having children, she may opt to have her tubes tied after delivering her last child. Some women end up having their tubes tied for very different reasons, however.

For a woman who is in a marriage that is on shaky ground, she may decide to have her tubes tied to prevent any chance of bringing a child into an already tenuous situation. Some women may be in an abusive relationship and have their tubes tied in order to prevent bringing a child into a volatile home environment.

Sometimes women have their tubes tied because they had problems with heavy menstrual bleeding that caused them to seek medical assistance. If the doctor does something called an endometrial ablation, where the uterine lining is actually removed, the doctor will often recommend that a woman has a tubal ligation surgery in order to prevent pregnancy. This is because a viable pregnancy is impossible if there is no uterine lining.

Tubal ligation surgery is very commonplace these days. However, sometimes women end up having second thoughts about the decision that they’ve made. What is often unknown to these women is that there is a procedure call a tubal reversal. Continue reading ‘Should You Have Tubal Ligation Surgery – What Are the Reasons For It?’ »

Is a mole, lesion or skin discoloration that’s causing you some concern? You may have wondered or started worrying about possibly having malignant melanoma. You may be wondering what does melanoma look like and what are the stages, signs and symptoms? Melanomas usually have uneven borders and do not have the same shape all around. They can start out as a mole and turn into a melanoma, which is a malignant, meaning a cancerous lesion.

One of the big reasons to catch melanoma early is that it is not confined to the area on your skin where it’s found and can spread fast. Many skin cancers are local only; they are not systemic, meaning they may not involve other parts of your body. But melanoma is different. It involves your whole body and your immune system so you want to catch it early.

Most moles don’t change. If yours has changed or is changing, then make sure to look at the following. Continue reading ‘What Does Melanoma Look Like? – Nurse's Report’ »
