Breast Ca: Chemo Brain Really Hormone Head

Birth Control Pills, Hormone Therapy, and Lung Cancer Risk

“Ongoing hormone therapy appears to be a risk factor for worse cognitive function.” The findings add to accumulating evidence of an association between breast cancer and a decline in cognitive function, which has been the subject of research for more than a decade . The source of the problem remains open for debate and investigation. Some evidence has implicated the treatment , whereas other research has suggested the disease process itself or other factors — including treatment-induced menopause, anxiety, subclinical anemia, and high-dose chemotherapy — lead to cognitive decline, according to background information for the study. Rugo and co-investigators conducted a prospective, longitudinal study to identify factors that predict cognitive decline in patients with early breast cancer.

One study found that women with lung cancer who were using combination therapy HRT (both estrogen and progesterone) were more likely to die from the disease. And of course, there are other concerns with OC’s and HRT beyond lung cancer. While birth control pills may reduce that risk of lung cancer, they are associated with an increase in the risk of breast cancer . And while HRT may reduce lung cancer risk, the opposite is true for breast cancer (at least for HRT that includes both estrogen and progesterone.) There is also the risk of heart disease and blood clots.

How your dog’s digestive system works

None of the dog’s digestion takes place in the mouth, as it does in human beings. It begins in the stomach, but the main process of digestion occurs in the dog’s small intestine. The dog’s digestive process involves their mouth, esophagus, stomach, pylorus, small intestine, large intestine and the rectum. The liver and pancreas are also involved in the digestive process.

Computer And Your Vision

Steve Mann, a professor at the University of Toronto and one of the pioneers of heads-up display technology, has been wearing his own version of Google Glass for more than three decades. He echoes Fatehs concern about the risk of visual confusion. Mann said he personally experienced side effects like dizziness, confusion and flashbacks from wearing early versions of smart glasses that he designed himself. Mann eliminated the discomfort by revamping the product, which he calls Digital EyeTap , so that it sits directly in front of the eye. For more about Manns experience wearing computerized eyewear and a more detailed explanation of his concerns, see this excellent article in the March issue of IEEE Spectrum. When I spoke to Mann and Fateh, neither had had the opportunity to try out Google Glass.

Reducing paper may lead to a reduction in office supply cost and open more work space that had previously been used to store paper documents in file cabinets. Paperless offices need to develop contingency plans to guard against computer crashes or the loss of data. No doubt, the importance of computer to our everyday activities cannot be over emphasized. Unfortunately, there is a negative side of it with regards to vision.
