...HERS compares the procedure to castration and says its many adverse health effects far outweigh any benefits. A recent Foundation survey of women found that those with hysterectomy reported irritability, diminished sexual desire, fatigue and lost genital sensation. Other risks of the surgery include damage to the bladder and bowels. HERS says there are also economic reasons to curb the use of hysterectomy and estimates that $17 billion would be saved annually if doctors stopped performing the procedure unnecessarily...
...tiny room at the back of a Somali restaurant near Port Elizabeth's harbor, Abdi Maolin, 26, has spent 11 months lying on a dirty mattress, eating kitchen leftovers and urinating through a tube attached to his bladder. Propping himself up on his elbows, Abdi digs out a police report that describes how on June 6 last year, six men stormed a Somali grocery store where Abdi and his elder brother Mohammed worked. One shot Mohammed in the forehead, killing him. When Abdi ran, another shot him in the spinal chord, paralyzing him from the chest down. Abdi says...
Hoover was a difficult dog. Bassets are genetically narcoleptic, but ours made a case for canine Ritalin. He careered around the apartment possessed by a long-eared, drooling demon.

...with this whole new “no underage drinking” thing Harvard’s got going. I’m not even talking about not peeing in a field because the line for the Port-a-Potties is too long for your drunken bladder to comprehend. I’m saying, let’s not fall for any Yale pranks this year, folks. Alumni, I’m looking at you—no undergrads I know were part of that debacle two years ago. Shameful.7. A copy of Basic Vision (Snowden, et al). For those...
...study by Harvard researchers warns carnivores of the obvious and not-so-obvious pitfalls of their diet. Frequent bacon consumption may increase the risk of bladder cancer—and so could the skinless chicken served in dining halls. Men and women who eat bacon five times a week or more have a 59-percent-higher likelihood of developing bladder cancer than those who never eat bacon. Consuming, with similar regularity, chicken cooked with the skin taken off makes one 52 percent more likely to develop the disease, according to the study, published in this month’s issue...
