New Treatment of Piles

WHEN located outside the anal opening, its swelling can result to skin irritation that can be painful, and prone to ruptures.

When the swelling is located inside, pain is seldom experienced. But when it grows disproportionately large it goes out of the rectum, oftentimes painfully, and in some cases accompanied with bleeding. Just what are we talking about? Most of us call this condition as hemorrhoids (Visayan, almoranas). Actually, hemorroids are also called piles, wrote S. Lorenzo-Rivero in the August 2009 American Journal of Surgery.

Hemorrhoids are swollen blood vessels in the lower rectum. Its most common signs and symptoms are itching, anal masses, rectal pain, or rectal bleeding. Internal piles become suspect when bright red blood can be found covering the stool, in toilet paper, or in the toilet bowl itself.

The golden standard in treating severe piles is... [Read more]

Sex Industry Weathers Financial Crises

Varmus Christopher Forbes.com 12/29/08 14:00:05 GMT The sex industry traces back to 500 B.C., when traders from the Greek port of Miletus sold olisbos, an early version of the dildo. Today, the business of sex (including pornography) now runs into the tens of billions of dollars. (No official estimates are available; Wall Street analysts don't tend to track this stuff.)

The "Lungs" of Our Homes

As trees slowly disappear with growing urbanization, the Rooseveltian lungs are replaced with more dangerous electrical lungs at home, many of which can damage the genetic materials of the human lungs. FRANKLIN Roosevelt said: “A nation that destroys its soils destroys itself. Forests are the lungs of our land, purifying the air and giving fresh strength to our people.” In Cebu today, however, people may have given up “fresh strength” for the material conveniences of an urbanized province. Even the more far-flung towns in the province of Cebu have already shown signs of urbanization. And it will not be long when even forests will cease to be. Nonetheless, the “lungs” have been replaced with electric air fresheners, with all the varied approaches to freshen the air—at least in the cities and the suburbs. But four Japanese researchers—three from the Iwate University (Ueda, Morioka, Iwate) Department of Veterinary Medicine and one from the National Institute of Health Services (K...
