Breast asymmetry surgery improves quality of life, self-esteem
Many women suffer from uneven breasts, also known as breast asymmetry - a relatively common condition that is often not discussed. The embarrassment can affect their daily lives, sexuality and confidence, but for those with significant asymmetry, breast surgery can considerably elevate quality of life and self-esteem. view more (2006-10-09)
Researchers question validity of many research meta-analyses
Systematic reviews and meta-analyses of the results of several studies are a common method for pooling data to gain further insight through access to larger numbers of patients. view more (2007-04-10)
Great legs - rainforest birds` essential survival kit
Finely shaped legs are not just objects of beauty - some contain an important message. The legs of rainforest birds tell a story of environmental degradation. These bird's legs grow while they are in the nest being fed by their parents. When they leave the nest, they are fully grown. But the legs of some rainforest species show a curious pattern -... view more... (2002-11-12)
Horse study is under starter's orders
A LINK between asymmetry in horses, and poor performance and lameness could revolutionise the way they are cared for, as well as change the way they are prepared for racing. "There is widespread public concern regarding the welfare of horses in sport," said Dr Gail Williams, head of the Equine Biomechanics research team. "In a pilot... view more... (1999-01-27)
Duration of breast feeding may influence health in later life
Breast feeding in infancy is related to reduced arterial function 20 years later, finds a study in this week's BMJ. Although breast feeding should continue to be recommended to promote infant health, these findings raise an important question about the optimal duration of breast feeding. Leeson and colleagues measured arterial distensibility (a... view more... (2001-03-13)
NHS breast screening targets need to be reviewed
Women who attend the NHS breast screening programme have a higher risk of breast cancer than women who decline to participate, finds a study in this week's BMJ. This "self selection" for screening has important implications for NHS breast cancer detection targets. Researchers at the University of Manchester investigated over 40,000 women... view more...

Time to reassess the value of HRT
It may be time to reassess the value of hormone replacement therapy, following evidence that it reduces the effectiveness of breast screening and causes breast cancer in women over the age of 50, says a leading breast surgeon in this week's BMJ. Increasing numbers of women in their 50s and 60s are using hormone replacement therapy to alleviate... view more... (2001-12-12)

Women who breast feed for longer have a smaller chance of getting rheumatoid arthritis, suggests a study published online ahead of print in the Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases. view more (2008-05-13)
Discovery of a molecular mechanism underlying limb architecture
A genetic study performed by Dr. Marie Kmita, a researcher at the Institut de Recherches Cliniques de Montréal (IRCM), in collaboration with Drs Basile Tarchini and Denis Duboule of the University of Geneva in Switzerland, sheds light on the origins of the architecture of arms and legs. view more (2006-10-26)
Chemotherapy and tamoxifen reduce risk of second breast cancer
Among breast cancer patients, both chemotherapy and tamoxifen independently reduced the risk of developing a second cancer in the other breast, according to a study published online December 25 in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute. The risk reduction persisted for at least 10 and 5 years, respectively. view more (2007-12-26)
Breast screening shows that HRT can halve artery hardening
Hormone replacement therapy can halve breast artery hardening (calcification), and it’s an effect that can be picked up during a breast screen, reveals a study in the Journal of Medical Screening. view more (2002-04-02)
Breast cancer drug receives FDA approval
A new use for the breast cancer drug Herceptin was approved by the FDA yesterday, a move that means more treatment options for the 25 percent of breast cancer patients with early-stage HER-2 positive breast cancer. view more (2006-11-20)
Doctors able to predict chance of breast cancer returning
Doctors have created a first-ever computer tool to predict the risk of breast cancer returning in the same breast over a 10-year period in women who have had breast conserving surgery to remove only the cancer (lumpectomy). view more (2006-11-07)
Women overestimate effectiveness of breast screening
Women either overestimate or are poorly informed about the effectiveness of breast screening, suggests research in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health. But these are the very women who attend for screening. To give them the facts might deter them from being screened, so creating a public health dilemma, suggest the authors. The... view more...

Measuring brain activity for emotional markers that may indicate risk for developing alcoholism
Although prior research has looked at brain activity and alcoholism, much of it has focused on cortical activity as a marker for impulsivity among alcoholics. A new study examines measures of brain activity in the frontal regions of the brain, thought to reflect individual differences in emotionality, an important aspect of personality. view more (2006-11-27)
Study examines risk factors for cancer in unaffected breast of breast cancer patients
A new study identifies certain patient and tumor characteristics that may help indicate which breast cancer patients would be the most likely to benefit from preventive surgery to remove the unaffected breast. view more (2009-01-26)
Canadian breast cancer guidelines do not meet their objective
The Canadian Practice Guidelines for the Care and Treatment of Breast Cancer, first published in 1998, were developed to reduce variation in the way that breast cancer was being treated. view more (2007-03-13)
Screening may over-diagnose 1 in 10 breast cancers
Screening women for breast cancer could result in a 10% rate of over-diagnosis, finds a study published online by the BMJ today. view more (2006-03-03)
No need for gene screens in breast cancer families
Research reported today should provide relief to women who are worried after a relative's breast cancer diagnosis. The study in the open access journal BMC Cancer shows that a family history of breast cancer does not give a useful indication of the likelihood that a woman will develop it herself at an early age. view more (2008-07-23)
