...fall down and break something, they will take an X-ray at the emergency room. Show up with belly pain or breathing trouble and the same kind of X-ray - what we call a plain film - will usually be done. The reason we like plain films so much is that they're fast, easy, cheap and effective - and they expose patients to very little radiation. So little, in fact, that it's extremely hard (some experts say impossible) to demonstrate statistically that the radiation from an X-ray increases your risk of cancer. There's no question that X-rays...
Thirty years back we used plain films to diagnose nearly everything - appendicitis, kidney stones, pneumonia, broken bones - and an X-ray alone was enough. We took care of them all just using plain films.

The radiation from a CT scan, or computed tomography, actually has been shown to cause cancer - quite...
...drinking, drugging and sexual outlawry that sully his path to pop icon status, the bum musical trips - his adored brother may have been an authentic musical prodigy that Dewey dimly needs to emulate - that threaten his career.

...recent Bob Dylan quasi-biopic “I’m Not There,” serious music fans will draw the most from “Walk Hard.” Reilly goes through creative phases that resemble (either implicitly or explicitly) the careers of Johnny Cash, Ray Charles, Elvis Presley, Sonny Bono, Brian Wilson, and, yes, Dylan himself. While “Walk Hard” demonstrates that Apatow and his cohorts cannot promote from within their own ranks without resorting to their basest kind of humor, fans of “Anchorman?...
