...aided by "foreign elements," meaning mostly Pakistan and China. Even where the majority of victims have been Muslims - such as the May 2007 blast at Mecca Masjid in Hyderabad, the attack on an Indo-Pak train in February 2007 and the April 2006 twin blasts at New Delhi's Jama Masjid - the first murmurs of suspicion have named Islamist groups. Investigation trails in these cases have led nowhere, yet no one has dared ask if non-Muslims, or more specifically, Hindu fundamentalists, could be responsible. The recent arrests point to either the security forces' inefficiency, or an implicit anti-Muslim...
...embarrassment that many women choose to ignore, but incontinence is a widespread disorder that may affect one in four women and perhaps as many as one-third of older women in their lifetime, according to a study published Tuesday in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA). While there are several medical solutions to treat this common problem, the study's authors say that one of the simplest and most effective ways to ward it off is to maintain a healthy weight...
...symptoms of at least one pelvic-floor disorder, conditions that occur when the pelvic muscles and tissues are weakened or injured, according to Dr. Ingrid Nygaard, a urogynecologist and pelvic reconstructive surgeon at the University of Utah School of Medicine in Salt Lake City. The disorders reported in the JAMA study included incontinence and pelvic-organ prolapse, the result of pelvic muscles so weakened that they can't hold organs, such as the uterus, correctly in place. Of the women who reported any symptom of a pelvic-floor disorder, 16% experienced urinary incontinence, 9% reported fecal incontinence and almost...
...really, really common in women, even teenagers, to leak once in a blue moon," says Nygaard, perhaps when they cough during an illness, bounce on a trampoline or laugh extremely hard. But the JAMA study reveals that moderate to severe incontinence is also a widespread condition. More than half of all women who suffer from it, however, never bring it up with their doctors, according to previous studies. "Partly it's embarrassment, or they don't think there is any treatment, or that the only treatment is surgical," says Nygaard...
...seem to occur more often in people with higher levels of the disease. To prove a cause-effect relation would require longitudinal studies that compare the effects of BPA in one group to a control group unexposed to the chemical - hard to do, given BPA's ubiquity. But the JAMA study is worrying enough. "The article says that the more of this chemical you have, the greater the risk," says vom Saal. "We understand how BPA causes these problems in animals, and the human study follows that." A recent study by the Yale School of Medicine provides even more cause...
