Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) can be used to detect acute appendicitis in pregnant women, according to a study conducted by a team of Harvard Medical School (HMS) professors. Untreated acute appendicitis can be fatal to both the mother and fetus. Acute appendicitis is a rare condition, occurring in less than one percent of pregnant women and in about the same percentage of the general population, said Ivan Pedrosa, an assistant professor at HMS who worked on the study published in Consumer Health Daily. According to Pedrosa, many women experience abdominal pain while pregnant. Though the likelihood of a woman having...
...realistic, which is to say it's about as grim as can be. It revolves around a 26-year-old dancer imprisoned along with her family after her father is accused of spying for South Korea's National Intelligence Service.

When Collins brought a group of female soldiers--assigned to search women during raids on suspected insurgent hideouts--to the 10th Mountain infantry's camp, she says, "the men all had one big frown, as if to say, 'What the hell are you doing here?'" She angrily demanded the infantrymen...
...Then came the shocker. On Feb. 7, news leaked that Princess Kiko was pregnant-11 years after she last gave birth. To many, the timing of the leak (just before the bill's submission) and that of the baby's conception (just after the panel's recommendation) seemed, well, like happy coincidences. Koizumi promptly tabled the bill. If the child is a boy, traditionalists will know that their prayers have been answered. And if it isn't? Then they'll just have to offer up some more...
