Cryosurgery - A hope for cancer patient

2008-05-30T01:02:00.000-07:00

For cancers that could not be cut out, doctors have another option: freezing cancer cells to death.

Cryosurgery - destroying cells by freezing

“Cryosurgery has a long history and has been used to treat diseases such as warts,” said Dr Niu Lizhi who has vast experience in cryosurgery.

Cryosurgery, otherwise called cryoablation or cryotherapy, is the destruction of tissues – generally, tumour tissues – using very low temperatures (-1960C to -1870C) produced by liquid nitrogen or argon gas respectively.

“This destruction is in situ. That means you don’t remove the tissue that you freeze, and the tissues will be reabsorbed by the body when destruction happens,” said Dr Franco Lugnani, president of the International Society of Cryosurgery (ISC).

In 1974, the International Society of Cryosurgery was founded as many doctors (in urology, dermatology, hepatology and gynaecology) used liquid nitrogen to destroy tissues, he added.

“Of course, in those days, you could apply liquid nitrogen somewhere but it was very difficult to control how the liquid nitrogen, at freezing temperatures, is delivered. And we do not have imaging modalities – we just have our eyes and our fingers,” Dr Lugnani said. Approaching the 90s, the advent of new imaging modalities like the ultrasound and CT scan had revived interest in cryosurgery.

“Eventually, we are able to control what we were delivering inside the body,” Dr Lugnani explained.

Cryosurgery can be used in two different aspects, he said. It can be used when conventional treatment modalities – surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy – has failed, especially in cancers of the lung, pancreas, uterus and breast.

There are also situations where cryosurgery can be used as first line treatment, for instance in kidney, prostate, some liver and some lung cancers, Dr Lugnani said.

Miley Cyrus says Vanity Fair photo spread embarrasses her

2008-04-28T07:03:00.000-07:00

LOS ANGELES - Miley Cyrus is taking issue with a photo of herself that's going around, and it's not another amateur, truth-or-dare Internet snapshot — it's the handiwork of Annie Leibovitz.
"I took part in a photo shoot that was supposed to be 'artistic' and now, seeing the photographs and reading the story, I feel so embarrassed," Cyrus said Sunday in a statement through her publicist. "I never intended for any of this to happen and I apologize to my fans who I care so deeply about."
The photos, appearing in the upcoming issue of Vanity Fair, were taken by Leibovitz, a renowned celebrity photographer whose edgy, silver-toned portraits have included subjects such as Angelina Jolie, Scarlett Johansson and a naked, pregnant Demi Moore.
The Cyrus pictures accompany an interview with the 15-year-old pop star and her father, singer Billy Ray Cyrus. They include shots of the teen wrapped in what appears to be a satin bedsheet, looking over her shoulder with her back exposed.

Facial made of bird excrement in New York spa

More news on Edison Chen scandal

2008-02-14T02:27:00.000-08:00

After getting cut from the new film Jump <跳出去> by Columbia Pictures, Edison has also been dumped by credit card company Manhattan Titanium because of the scandal. Sing Tao Daily estimates the scandal could cost Edison HK$10m a year in work and endorsements. Other sponsors of Edison include Pepsi, Levi's, Jacobs & Co, Samsung and EPS, and the star is said to be able to fetch as much as HK$1m for each endorsement.
Edison Chen will be back in Hong Kong this week. His management at East Asia Music has denied that he fled Hong Kong to escape from the fallout. Meanwhile, Edison's godfather Anthony Wong (黃秋生), said that Edison will return to Hong Kong to "help the police catch the 'crazy man' who is leaking the sex photos".

Bobo Chan seems to have been hit the worst. After having left show business in 2006, she led a relatively quiet life and was even going to marry her investment company director boyfriend Kam Chi Yiu (金紫耀). The marriage has apparently been called off and now that Bobo Chan is uncontactable, good friend Denise Ho (何韻詩) and ex-boss Nat Chan (陳百祥) have expressed concern.

Hong Kong police have arrested the ninth suspect and charged him with breaking obscenity laws. Protestors have taken to the streets criticising the police for its special treatment of celebrities, its invasion of privacy of internet users and its hunt for a scapegoat despite the continued leak of pictures. "Kira", the mystery man is still at large and presumably outside of Hong Kong. He had earlier promised the widely anticipated video to be timed with Gillian Chung's public appearance, but has now postponed the release to 3am TONIGHT.

Edison Chen and Gillian Chung, both actors, are now in the middle of a scandal as naughty pictures of their intimate bedroom activities has somehow been leaked onto the Internet. The pics are real. Chung was interviewed after the release of naughty pictures from a previous scandal. Chung should have learned the first time. You may not be able to understand Chinese, but those tears streaming down her face in the interview are universal. Don’t look at these pics at work.
The scandal started after pictures were taken from Edison Chen’s laptop by a technician that was repairing it. There were a total of approximately 1,300 pictures. The naughty pictures included Bobo Chan Man, Cecilia Cheung Pak Chi, Edison Chen, Gillian Chung, Gillian Chung Yun-Tung, Joey Yung, Yumiko Cheng, some say even Japanese star Chiaki Kuriyama, and possibly more.

Amy Winehouse lead Grammy list

2008-02-11T01:11:00.001-08:00

Amy Winehouse won 5 Grammys but didn't win the Album of the Year.
The talk of the night was a live satellite performance by Winehouse, whose troubled personal life has been the talk of the music industry. She received a visa to enter the United States too late to perform on the show in Los Angeles, and was beamed in live from a London studio.

Winehouse rose above the stories and speculation with a confident performance. Dressed in a flowing black party dress (accented by tattoos), Winehouse partied seriously on "You Know I'm No Good," and followed it up with the megahit "Rehab." Her presence and panache blew the roof off with her prancing moves, knowing winks and emotive vocals. Perhaps never before has a singer's current circumstances so mirrored her music — one more element in Winehouse's success.

Benazir Bhutto assassinated

Pakistan opposition leader Benazir Bhutto was assassinated Thursday in a suicide attack that also killed at least 20 others at the end of a campaign rally, aides said.
The death of the 54-year-old charismatic former prime minister threw the campaign for the Jan. 8 election into chaos and created fears of mass protests and an eruption of violence across the volatile south Asian nation.
The attacker struck just minutes after Bhutto addressed a rally of thousands of supporters in the garrison city of Rawalpindi, 8 miles south of Islamabad. She was shot in the neck and chest by the attacker, who then blew himself up, said, Rehman Malik, Bhutto's security adviser.

A Golden Controversy

Some folks plan to boycott the film as a sign of protest. Ironically, searches on "atheism" and "define atheism" have both spiked in response to their efforts. Clearly, people are hearing the message, but not in the way the protestors had hoped.

Every day for months you rotate screws attached to the pins in your legs. There are many moments of excruciating pain and the constant worry of infection. After that there is a grueling regimen of physical therapy. Now imagine, this was all completely voluntary — in fact, it was your idea. A leg-lengthening procedure can cost upwards of $120,000.

Saudi rape lawyer faces disciplinary hearing

The Saudi lawyer who represented a victim of gang rape faces a disciplinary hearing Wednesday for "insulting the Supreme Judicial Council and disobeying the rules and regulations" of the judiciary.

Abdul Rahman al-Lahem: "I believe I didn't do anything wrong."

His client is a teenage rape victim who was sentenced to 200 lashes and six months in prison for violating the kingdom's strict Islamic law by being alone with an unrelated man before the rape.
The attacks took place in Qatif in March 2006 when the woman was 18 and engaged to be married.
Her seven rapists were sentenced to between two to nine years in prison.
Abdul Rahman al-Lahem said the rape case had elicited a fierce response, including calls for his beheading.
"These opinions don't scare me, but they make me feel a disappointment that there are people who think this way.
"I wish that those who oppose me could engage in a direct dialogue instead of calling for violence. Unfortunately, they are still stuck in a culture of closed-mindedness."
Al-Lahem, who has two daughters, predicted he would have his revoked license to practice law reinstated on Wednesday and said he would represent the Saudi woman again. The hearing has the power to disbar him.

Missing canoeist of five years arrested in UK

2007-12-05T05:39:00.000-08:00

A British man who reappeared five years after he was thought to have drowned in a canoeing accident has been arrested on suspicion of fraud, police confirmed Wednesday. The police are investigating the authenticity of a photo published in British tabloid newspaper the Daily Mirror, which claims to show John Darwin alongside his wife on the balcony of an apartment in Panama City in July 2006.

The 57-year-old was presumed dead in 2002 after he went missing after going canoeing in the North Sea off the coastal town of Seaton Carew, in northeast England.

Hutchinson said police had been probing the case over the past few months in relation to some financial enquiries.

Darwin, a prison officer and former teacher, was declared dead by a coroner in 2003, 13 months after he went missing. But on Saturday Darwin walked in to a police station in central London and told officers: "I think I am a missing person", a spokeswoman for Cleveland Police, the local force investigating the case, told CNN.
According to widespread media reports, Darwin told police that he did not remember where he had been for the last five years.

He was later reunited with his two sons, Mark, 31, and Anthony, 29, who released a joint statement saying the reappearance of their father was "a huge shock." The statement said their mother, Darwin's wife Anna, who is believed to have moved to Panama last month after selling the couple's home in Seaton Carew, had also been informed of the news and "was delighted to hear it."

One of the Forgotten Modern Wonders of the World- Big Ben

2007-12-05T05:23:00.001-08:00

Possibly the most famous clock face and chimes in the world, Big Ben is actually the name of the biggest bell (13.5 tons) inside The Clock Tower (320ft) which forms part of the HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT.

Built in 1858/9 the bell was named after one Sir Benjamin Hall and when it was cast it was Britain's heaviest bell.
The clock's four dials each have a diameter of 23ft, the minute hands are 14ft long and the numerals on each face are nearly 2 feet high. The accuracy of the clock movement is controlled by the placing of old pennies in the mechanism.

There is a light at the top of the tower which, when lit, indicates that the House of Commons is sitting. During the day you can tell if they're sitting by looking for a flag at the top of the nearby Victoria Tower which is the tallest and largest of the Westminster towers.
The tower which houses Big Ben has been called by many names, one of the most popular being St Stephen's Tower. However, the official line, from the Head of Public Information at the Palace is that the Clock Tower is simply called The Clock Tower. The subject of John Buchan's "39 Steps", the Clock Tower is unfortunately not open to the public so you won't be able to check how many steps actually lead to the belfry.

The rats were hidden under the cogwheels and fell out from between two stones. According to Martin Hart's definitive book "Rats" (London, 1982), 57 incidents of rat kings were recorded between 1564 and 1963, mostly in Germany and all among black rats. Most kings consist of five to twelve rats, which are often of the same age, seemingly not yet adult. They are usually found alive, discovered because of their loud squeals and in the sort of places where black rats make their nests (behind walls, in lofts, cellars and barns).

The Most Intriguing Billionaire Heiresses

Forbes has compiled the list of the most intriguing billoinaire heiresses. Under 40 and hailing from around the world, the heiresses are ranked according to their father's or mother's most recent net worth on either Forbes' World's Billionaires list, the Forbes 400 list of the Richest Americans or Forbes Asia's 40 Richest Indians.

Vanisha Mittal tops the ranking. Daughter of Indian-born, London-based steel magnate Lakshmi Mittal, Forbes estimates his net worth at $51 billion. Like her brother, Vanisha is active in her father's industrial empire, holding a seat on Mittal Steel's board after interning in the business.

Knox Fingerprint, Blood Found at Murder Scene

2007-11-28T04:24:00.000-08:00

A single fingerprint and a trace of blood belonging to American student Amanda Knox were found in the Perugia apartment where her British roommate was slain, but the apartment was otherwise cleaned, news reports said Wednesday.

Investigators have concluded that the blood was left on the bathroom faucet sometime between Nov. 1 and 2, the ANSA news agency reported, placing Knox in the apartment either the night her roommate died or the next morning.
Knox has acknowledged she was home the night Meredith Kercher, 21, was killed by a knife wound to the neck but has denied any wrongdoing.
Calls to Knox's attorney were not answered Wednesday.

"The visibility of the stain is such to exclude that it could have been left in the days before the crime since it would surely have been cleaned," investigating magistrate Giuliano Mignini wrote in a summary of his probe so far, ANSA reported.

Knox, 20, a University of Washington student from Seattle, has said in one of her several conflicting statements to prosecutors that she was in the apartment the night of the slaying, saying at one point she had to cover her ears to drown out Kercher's screams and returned the next day.

UK's toads 'at risk' from fungus

2007-11-28T01:22:00.001-08:00

Britain's native toads are at risk from a deadly infection that has driven many of the world's amphibians to extinction, say UK scientists.
The fungal disease is currently confined to Kent, where it was brought in by imported frogs.
But if it spread further it could, in theory, completely wipe out the British toad population, according to research published in a Royal Society journal.
Experts want tighter controls on the aquarium trade to protect native toads.
The chytrid fungus, or Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis, BD, as it is sometimes called, infects the skins of amphibians such as frogs, toads, salamanders and newts.

Runway specialist Miss J. Alexander and photographer Nigel Barker will be sitting on either side of Tyra Banks at the judges' table next year, as usual.

"We would like to thank Twiggy for her great contributions to the show," Mok said. "Having an icon like Twiggy lend us her considerable expertise has elevated our show to a whole new level. We wish her well in her endeavors and hope to collaborate with her in future Cycles of ANTM as well as other projects."

Who's Bared Her Butt?-Paris Hilton

2007-11-27T05:08:00.000-08:00

Oh dear, someone's posterior has been flashed.
But who's got their derriere on display? Well, she is non other than Paris Hilton.
Well, let's just say it's not the first time this lass has been snapped, erm, out and about.

And not just out and about in the social sense, but also in the knicker-flashing sense.
Maybe Santa could add some longer threads to her Christmas list - perhaps that would help solve her flashing habit.
This well-heeled star ain't alone in the derriere-on-display department, though.
There's a whole host of stars who've been known to flash their rear ends.

Brandon Routh, the newest incarnation of Superman, married longtime girlfriend, actress Courtney Ford, on Saturday.

The couple tied the knot at the El Capitan Ranch in Santa Barbara, according to a report in

Heroes Trailer-Awesome

2007-11-27T01:00:00.001-08:00

Check this out!!! This is the trailer of 'Heroes'. With those macho men and great effects, it is really worth a watch.

Bee Movie

2007-11-27T00:21:00.000-08:00

Starring:Jerry Seinfeld, Renee Zellweger, Kathy Bates, Oprah Winfrey, Matthew Broderick, Patrick Warburton
Directed by:Stephen Hickner, Simon J. Smith

The story

You think you've got dismal career choices upon graduating from college? Try being a bee: it's pretty much the honey factory or nothing. But young Barry B. Benson has a different idea. He wants to get out of the hive and explore the world. And when he does, he is shocked to learn that all this honey his fellow bees make gets eaten by humans. There ought to be a law! Or at least, a lawsuit. Barry leads the charge to sue all humans for stealing the bees' honey. Victory, though, has some unexpected consequences, and leads to a frantic and heroic effort to put things right again.

The catch

Jerry Seinfeld makes his first major splash into feature films, and he's going full-out -- as actor, co-writer, and producer.

Two co-writers, Spike Feresten and Andy Robin, wrote some of the funniest episodes of "Seinfeld," including "The Junior Mint."

With a cast that includes Annette Bening, Chris Rock, Renee Zellweger, John Goodman, and Oprah Winfrey, everyone in your family will find something to love.

Beowulf-The Movie

2007-11-26T23:57:00.000-08:00

Starring:Brendan Gleeson, Anthony Hopkins, Ray Winstone, Robin Wright Penn, John Malkovich, Crispin Glover
Directed by:Robert Zemeckis

Genres:
Action/Adventure, Drama, Science Fiction/Fantasy, Animation and Adaptation

The story

We all had to read it in English class: the epic poem telling the story of the hero-king Beowulf who, avenging his father, comes to the land of Heorot seeking to destroy the demon beast Grendel. Vengeance works both ways, though, so when Beowulf defeats Grendel, it is Grendel's mother who then comes after Beowulf. These are no ordinary clashes, with gruesome battles and unexpected outcomes. Throw in a dragon for good measure, and you can see why this story has stuck around for over 1000 years. In the age of heroes comes the mightiest warrior of them all, Beowulf. After destroying the overpowering demon Grendel, he incurs the undying wrath of the beast's ruthlessly seductive mother, who will use any means possible to ensure revenge. The ensuing epic battle resonates throughout the ages, immortalizing the name of Beowulf.

The catch

Director Robert Zemeckis has improved the techniques he first used in The Polar Express to create an even more visually astounding epic.

A screenplay by graphic novelist Neil Gaiman and Pulp Fiction co-creator Roger Avary guarantees a unique take on the oldest piece of English literature.

A virtual Angelina Jolie in three dimensions. It's a brave new world, indeed.

BRITNEY SPEARS GETS THE KIDS FOR CHRISTMAS.

2007-11-26T21:10:00.000-08:00

A new report says lawyers for the pop singer and former husband Kevin Federline hammered out an accord that allows the children to spend the holiday with Spears.
Allan Parachini, a spokesman for the LA County Superior Court, declined to confirm what was in the agreement but said, "There was a stipulation."
‘‘They have to be in California," Parachini added. "There was a discussion about [leaving California] and he [Commissioner Scorr Gordon] reminded them that there is an order that they can't be taken out of California.''
Spears and K-Fed have spent plenty of time in court arguing over custody issues. Most recently, Spears was told she can't drive with the children after several driving incidents. Today her attorney won a continuance in a case that alleges she drove without a valid California license.

The blonde bombshell is dating NFL star Tony Romo, a source close to Simpson confirmed to Access Hollywood.

In fact, Jessica even brought the Dallas Cowboys QB home to meet the family for Thanksgiving, albeit a day late, the source added.

Because Tony's team was taking on the New York Jets on Thanksgiving Day, Jess' family was reportedly more than happy to postpone their holiday feast until the following day, when Tony, Jessica and the rest of the Simpson clan got together at her grandparents' home in Waco, Texas.
Jessica is just the latest starlet who has been romantically linked to the football star. Following his break-up from country cutie Carrie Underwood, Romo has reportedly been seen getting cozy with the likes of Britney Spears, Brit's pal Alli Sims and "One Tree Hill" siren Sophia Bush.

Diamonds are forever.

2007-11-26T18:14:00.000-08:00

Nothing in this world can makes a woman happier other than having a sparkling diamond. It is not often that one buys a diamond. It is usually for a very special occasion, and for a very special loved one. It also represents one of the most important purchases of a lifetime. Consequently, we feel that it is of the utmost importance that every consumer be familiar with the 4 very important factors that determine a diamond's value. The 4 C's : cut; clarity; carat weight and colour.

Cut

The cut of a diamond is the only factor in assessing a diamond's beauty controlled by man, rather than nature. The cut is the most instrumental factor in establishing a diamond's beauty. It is the actual cut, with its symmetry, coupled with the way it is polished, will unveil the diamond's true persona.

Clarity

Almost all diamonds contain some sort of natural "birthmarks" or "inclusions" which are visible under magnification. It is the extent of these inclusions that lead to a diamond's grading on the clarity scale. These rigid set of standards, established by the GIA, are universally accepted and describes and rates both the internal and external clarity of a diamond.

Carat weight

Diamonds are all measured in carat weight. There are 100 points in a carat.

Colour

To the naked eye, most diamonds appear as though they are colorless. There is however, a very exacting grading system. This GIA (Gemological Institute of America) system is universally accepted in classifying diamonds by color.

PR pageant officials probe pepper spray

2007-11-26T07:09:00.000-08:00

Beauty queen Ingrid Marie Rivera beat 29 rivals to become the island's 2008 Miss Universe contestant, despite applying makeup and wearing evening gowns that had been coated with pepper spray, pageant spokesman Harold Rosario said.

Rivera was composed while appearing before cameras and judges throughout the competition. But once backstage, she had to strip off her clothes and apply ice bags to her face and body, which swelled and broke out in hives twice.

"We thought at first it was an allergic reaction, or maybe nerves," Rosario said. "But the second time, we knew it couldn't have been a coincidence."
Rivera's clothing and makeup later tested positive for pepper spray.

Someone also stole Rivera's bag containing her gowns, makeup and credit cards. And a bomb threat forced pageant officials to postpone the last day of competition on Thursday, said Magali Febles, director of the Miss Puerto Rico Universe pageant.
Pageant organizers said the hoped to catch and expose whoever was responsible for the pranks. They said, however, they were handling the investigation themselves and police are not involved.

Love, Lust and Romance what is the difference.

2007-11-23T19:26:00.000-08:00

All the beings in the world, mammals, birds, marine species, etc have an in-born lust so that they are able to mate and reproduce. Reproduction is the only way to continue the existence of the species. As such, lust is a basic biological need.

For the male and the female to get attracted to each other as well as for the selection of the most suitable mate, romance is necessary। Both lust and romance are gender-specific and occur normally between a male and female. On the other hand, love is universal and love is neither gender-specific nor species-specific. A man could love a woman or another man or an animal or a bird. Love knows no bounds. Let us make a brief analysis on the manifestation of love, romance and lust in human beings and the resultant repercussions of each one of them.

Love is a tender but deep feeling of attraction towards a being or an object। Love is not limited to any one single thing. You can love your dog and at the same time, you can love your dress. Love is expanding by nature and the more you love, the happier you feel. It is very difficult to restrict love because it is a second nature for all of us. We cannot live without love. The reasoning is very simple. Our first love is we ourselves. Unless you love yourself, you would not be able to live. Think for a minute. Those who commit suicide do it only in that fraction of a moment when they hate themselves, whatever is the reason for that. Our personal love progresses further to include members of our family, relatives, friends, coworkers, neighbors, and others in our community. Love could be mild in nature or an intense one. The intense love or desire makes you obsessive and highly possessive of that person or object of your love. All our problems and conflicts start at this point only.

There is one more thing about love। Love does not get restricted to physical objects. Even our emotional aspects are part of our love. You say, ‘I love swimming,’ ‘I love singing,’ etc. We can love even physical and emotional activities. Many of us love to daydream about several things. This is emotional love.

In English language, so many idioms use love as their theme. A few examples are given below.

Love is blind

Make love

Puppy love

Labor of love

No love lost

Fall in love

Not for love or money

All is fair in love and war

Love at first sight

Diane Ackerman wrote, ‘Everyone admits that love is wonderful and necessary, yet no one agrees on just what it is।’ It is very difficult to describe love in words. To quote Barbara De Angelis, ‘Love is a force more formidable than any other. It is invisible – it cannot be seen or measured, yet it is powerful enough to transform you in a moment, and offer you more joy than any material possession could.’

While love encompasses everything, romance and lust occur normally between a male and female. Margaret Anderson said, ‘In real love you want the other person’s good. In romantic love, you want the other person.’ Romance is always considered to be a pleasant experience. Maximum numbers of novels are based on romance only. So are many movies and television shows. However, many romances end as a failure because the initial infatuation covers up the negative traits. Later on, when the knowledge of such negative aspects starts growing, disenchantment sets in. As such, for a romance to succeed, both the partners should be clear on what each one expects from the other. An open discussion on such matters makes understanding each other easier and results in a harmonious relationship. It is important to enjoy the companionship and remain relaxed in a romantic relationship.
Psychologists hold that romantic love emerges purely from a desire for self-gratification। They feel that the illusions that lead to romantic love are very powerful emotions and have to be properly controlled.

On the other hand, lust is a somewhat dangerous one because mostly lust is an intense feeling. Lust could be between human beings or you could even lust after money or other material objects. When one is in lust, normally the thinking cap slips off and the results could be disastrous. Hence, deep and clear analysis and understanding the nature of your lust is very much needed. Lust is also a desire for self-gratification but much more powerful than a romantic love. When you lust after somebody or something, your strong craving to get that person or object tends to make you transgress borders. Controlling the emotion of lust is very difficult. Most of the time, after you have attained the person or object that you lusted after, a guilty feeling sets in. Hence, proper restrain in needed when you have the feeling of lust.

Personality Traits By Blood Type A Japanese Concept

2007-11-23T01:17:00.000-08:00

Type AB:
Type AB people are the split personalities of the blood groups. They can be both outgoing and shy in the same time, confident and timid. They are usually responsible, but too much responsibility will cause problem. They are trustworthy and like to help others.

Type A is most compatible with type A and Type AB:
Type B is most compatible with Type B and Type AB:
Type AB is most compatible with Type AB, B, A and O
Type O is most compatible with Type O, and Type AB
