Treatment for Bladder Cancer

Statistically, cancer of the urinary bladder appears to be most common in people between the ages of 50 and 70 years. 


This is a type of cancer that affects men more often than women. Studies show that it is more commonly experienced by Caucasians than African Americans. 

Bladder cancer ranks fifth among the top ten cancers that affect males. 


It is considered one of the most common malignant cancers and the tenth leading cause of cancer death. It manifests as a tumor of the bladder. 

The most common symptom of bladder cancer is visible, painless hematuria or blood in the urine.

Treatment of bladder cancer depends on the grade of the tumor (the degree of cellular differentiation), the stage of tumor growth (the degree of local invasion and the presence or absence of metastasis), and the multicentricity (having many centers) of the tumor.

How to Get Rid of Plaque


Plaque is made up of invisible masses of harmful germs that live in the mouth and stick to the teeth.
  • Some types of plaque cause tooth decay
  • Other types of plaque cause gum disease
bleeding gums can be the first signs of gum disease.

If gum disease is not treated, the tissues holding the teeth in place are destroyed and the teeth are eventually lost.

Dental plaque is difficult to see unless it’s stained.

You can stain plaque by chewing red “disclosing tablets,” found at grocery stores and drug stores, or by using a cotton swab to smear green food coloring on your teeth.

The red or green color left on the teeth will show you where there is still plaque—and where you have to brush again to remove it.

Rember - New treatment for Alzheimer

A new drug could prove at least twice as effective in treating Alzheimer’s disease as current medications and significantly slow the progression of dementia, researchers say.

The research team at the University of Aberdeen concluded that the drug, Rember, slows progression of the disease by up to 81 per cent.

Sufferers taking the drug three times a day for 50 weeks showed a slower decline in blood flow to the parts of the memory that are vital to the memory.

Experts hailed the study as a major development in the fight against Alzheimer’s, which affects an estimated 350,000 people in Britain and more than 26 million people worldwide.

Too much vitamin C - Good or Bad ??


I had been taking vitamin C tablets as they seemed to prevent me getting regular colds etc. However, I've heard there has been some research, which suggests that vitamin C supplements can cause blood vessels to clog up.

I would be very interested to have your comments.

Thx...

Rapping Nurses ...


Nice one...

What's wrong with having little bit of fun? I volunteer in an ER, and I'm a paramedic student.

You have to have a sense of humor to survive in emergency medicine.

It is a real ER.

It was a "teaching ER" in University of Alabama hospital at Birmingham .
