Fibrocystic breast disease is a common way to describe painful, lumpy breasts.
Fibrocystic breast disease; Mammary dysplasia; Diffuse cystic mastopathy; Benign breast disease; Glandular breast changes
The exact cause of the condition is not known. Hormones made in the ovaries may make a woman's breasts feel swollen, lumpy, or painful before or during menstruation each month.
Up to half of women have this problem at some time during their life. It is most common between the ages of 20 and 45. It is rare in women after menopause, unless they are taking estrogen.
In most cases, symptoms get better after menopause. If you take birth control pills, you may have fewer symptoms. If you are on hormone therapy, you may have more symptoms.
Symptoms are more often worse right before your menstrual period. They tend to get better after your period starts.
Symptoms can include:
You may have a lump in the same area of the breast that becomes larger before each period and shrinks afterward. This type of lump moves when it is pushed with your fingers. It does not feel stuck or fixed to the tissue around it. This lump is common with fibrocystic breasts.
Your health care provider will examine you. This will include a breast exam. Tell your doctor or nurse if you have noticed any breast changes.
If you are over 40, ask your doctor or nurse how often you should have a mammogram to screen for breast cancer. For women under 35, a breast ultrasound may be used to look more closely at breast tissue.
You may need further tests if a lump was found during a breast exam or your mammogram result was abnormal. Another mammogram and breast ultrasound may be done.
Women who have no symptoms or only mild symptoms do not need treatment.
Your health care provider may recommend the following self-care measures:
Some women believe that eating less fat, caffeine, or chocolate helps with their symptoms. But there is no evidence that these measures help.
Vitamin E, thiamine, magnesium, and evening primrose oil are not harmful in most cases. Studies have not shown these to be helpful. Talk with your health care provider before taking any medicine or supplement.
For more severe symptoms, your health care provider may prescribe hormones, such as birth control pills or other medicine. Take the medicine exactly as instructed. Be sure to let your provider know if you have side effects from the medicine.
Surgery is never done to treat this condition.
If your breast exams and mammograms are normal, you do not need to worry about your symptoms. Fibrocystic breast changes do not increase your risk of breast cancer. Symptoms usually improve after menopause.
Call your health care provider if:

A fecal culture is a laboratory test to find organisms in the stool (feces) that can cause gastrointestinal symptoms and disease.
Stool culture; Culture - stool
A stool sample is needed.
There are many ways to collect the sample.
Do not mix urine, water, or toilet tissue with the sample.
For children wearing diapers:
Return the sample to the laboratory as soon as possible. Do not include toilet paper or urine in the specimen.
In the laboratory, a technician places a sample of the specimen in a special dish filled with a gel that encourages bacteria or other germs to grow. If there is growth, the germs are identified. The lab technician may also do more tests to determine the best treatment.
You will get a collection container for the stool specimen.
There is no discomfort.
The test is performed when your health care provider suspects that you may have a gastrointestinal infection. It may be done if you have severe diarrhea that does not go away or that keeps coming back.
There are no abnormal bacteria or other germs in the sample.
Talk to your health care provider about the meaning of your specific test results.
Abnormal results may mean you have an intestinal infection .
There are no risks.
Often other stool tests are done in addition to the culture, such as:

Rocky Patel Xtreme Sumatra Robusto Reviews [view details]
Give us YOUR review!Showing 1 through 10 of 15 reviews
"Very Impressive Robusto"
Good tasting at ignition TTN. I was impressed and then some. Minor burn issue in the mid third which straightened itself out. This stick surprised me. I have tasted a number of other RP cigars that I let fly due to bitter taste. This one was sweet and delicious which drew me in and I had a hard time letting this one go. I will revisit this one for sure.
Mr. Blues in Central, MN August 22, 2014
"Needs work on the burn"
One of the best cigars I have had. Alot of thick smoke, great aroma and very tasty. The burn, however, is another story. MISERABLE...Better keep a lighter handy and be sure it is full. The cigar is worth the trouble though as there have been many others that are not.
Frank in Maryland May 24, 2014
"Very nice full body smoke for the evening"
Another great RP Cigar that smoked very well. I am glad Famous sent this one to me as a sample cigar..
Barry in Harrisburg, PA December 4, 2013
Got 5 of these in a small bundle from Famous. Smooth, mellow flavor. Not quite as strong as I typically like, but nice nonetheless. The burn was good, no touch ups needed. The flavor had hints of coffee in it. Overall, not a disappointment.
Jon in Kentucky July 31, 2013
"a very fine cigar from Rocky"
I am a Rocky fan. I know some folks aren't. I had a couple of his cigars I didn't care for recently, so I was skeptical of the xtreme, frankly. I got a five pack with my order recently and was blown away. Excellent flavor, clean burn, and an A+ experience overall. This now sits on the list as one of my favorite Rocky smokes along with the Renaissance, Decade, and the Edge.
Austin in Winston Salem, NC March 17, 2013
"another good rocky"
I've been smoking cigars a couple years. When I found Rocky Patel's 1990 I knew I found my brand. I've been trying all of their line now and the extreme is a great smoke. Cool even smoke and great flavor.
showmeshine in mo February 8, 2013
"Very Suprised"
I was surprised by these cigars. I got them free with my order and didn't expect much. The flavor was great and the draw was easy. I actually thought they were better than the Rocky Patel Sun Growns which I had also ordered. My only knock was that the burn became uneven on the last third and did not self correct. I will order more.
in August 4, 2012
"WOW! Great Smoke"
Got in a sampler pack. Glad I read the reviews before lighting up. Rolled the cigar a little to loosen up. Had a perfect dram,perfect burn,no rights or touch up!!! Nice smoke,wonderful flavor!! Will order now since their on special!!
jetdrves review was spot on!
JAMES SR in Sacramento Ca June 13, 2012
"Pleasant Smoke"
The Xtreme is a nice relaxing smoke great burn perfect ash and draw.Could be a touch more fuller in the flavor department but would never kick this girl outta bed.
Dusty in Maple Valley June 1, 2012
"Rich and delicious..."
This one will crank you up. Full flavored is an understatement. The great wrapper only adds to the desirability of this smoke. I want more.

Aortic angiography is a procedure that uses a special dye and x-rays to see how blood flows through the aorta, the major artery leading out of the heart, and through your abdomen or belly.
Angiography is an imaging test that uses x-rays and a special dye to see inside the arteries. Arteries are blood vessels that carry blood away from the heart.
Angiography - aorta; Aortography; Abdominal aorta angiogram; Aortic arteriogram
This test is done in a special unit of the hospital. Before the test starts, you will be given a mild sedative to help you relax.
After the x-rays or treatments are finished, the catheter is removed. Pressure is immediately applied to the puncture site for 20 - 45 minutes to stop the bleeding. After that time, the area is checked and a tight bandage is applied. The leg is usually kept straight for another 6 hours after the procedure.
You will be asked not to eat or drink anything for 6-8 hours before the test.
You will be asked to wear a hospital gown and sign a consent form for the procedure. Remove jewelry from the area being studied.
Tell your health care provider:
You will be awake during the test. You may feel a sting as the numbing medicine is given and some pressure as the catheter is inserted. You may feel a warm flushing when the contrast dye flows through the catheter. This is normal and usually goes away within a few seconds.
You may have some discomfort from lying on the hospital table and staying still for a long time.
Generally, you can resume normal activity the day after the procedure.
Your doctor may order this test if there are signs or symptoms of a problem with the aorta or its branches, including:
Abnormal results may be due to:
Risks of aortic angiography include:
This procedure may be combined with left heart catheterization to look for coronary artery disease.
Aortic angiography has been mostly replaced by computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance (MR) angiography.

Just Dropping By to Say Hello!
Hi, Ladies!
My name is Amy formerly of AmyLeigh's Designs and I just dropped by to say hello to everyone. I am no longer designing and recently I have really been missing it, and all of you!
A special hello to Deb and Holly!
There is lots of great stuff in the store (I just bought some things!). I haven't scrapped a page since I stopped designing, but I feel the pull of PSCS.
I am so excited to see everyone around here and just want you to know that this will always be where my designing heart is!AmyLeigh

Post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis (GN) is a disorder of the kidneys that occurs after infection with certain strains of Streptococcus bacteria.
Glomerulonephritis - post-streptococcal; Post-infectious glomerulonephritis
Post-streptococcal GN is a form of glomerulonephritis . It is caused by an infection with a type of streptococcus bacteria. The infection does not occur in the kidneys, but in a different part of the body, such as the skin or throat.
The strep bacterial infection causes the tiny blood vessels in the filtering units of the kidneys (glomeruli) to become inflamed. This makes the kidneys less able to filter the urine.
Post-streptococcal GN is uncommon today because infections that can lead to the disorder are commonly treated with antibiotics. The disorder may develop 1 - 2 weeks after an untreated throat infection, or 3 - 4 weeks after a skin infection.
It may occur in people of any age, but it most often occurs in children ages 6 - 10. Although skin and throat infections are common in children, post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis is a rare complication of these infections.
Risk factors include:
Other symptoms that may occur with this disease:
A physical examination shows swelling (edema), especially in the face. Abnormal sounds may be heard when listening to the heart and lungs with a stethoscope (auscultation ). Blood pressure is often high.
Other tests that may be done include:
There is no specific treatment for post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis. Treatment is focused on relieving symptoms.
You may need to limit salt in the diet to control swelling and high blood pressure.
Post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis usually goes away by itself after several weeks to months.
In small number of adults, it may get worse and lead to chronic kidney failure. Sometimes it can progress to end-stage kidney disease, which requires dialysis and a kidney transplant.

Crime dramas continue to dominate with the premieres of American Crime & CSI: Cyber and the return of Broadchurch.
"This is Walter," a knowing narrator informs us at the start of "Snowman's Land." We see a lank-haired, pasty-faced guy and learn he is a hit man. Because of an unfortunate misunderstanding in a men's room, he kills two men, only one of whom is the intended target. The other is an innocent pop singer. Walter's enraged boss then sends him into exile.
Walter (Jurgen Rissmann) recruits another layabout named Mickey (Thomas Wodianka) for the new assignment: to guard the boss' palatial building on a slope of one of the Carpathian Mountains. This inexplicable building, which has the look of an old hospital or corporate headquarters, is isolated in snowbound desolation in "the most remote place in Europe," where not even satellite TV reaches. Berger (Reiner Schone), the boss, dreams it will someday become the hotel centerpiece of a world-class ski resort.
Walter and Mickey, who have aspects of a dour, clueless Laurel and Hardy, arrive at the building after an incredible struggle through the snow and find it empty. Then Sybille (Eva-Katrin Hermann), Berger's wife, appears. She tells them the whole place is off-limits except for the living room, kitchen and their bedrooms. Then she heads off on a shopping trip.
Naturally, they explore, finding a swimming pool and an industrial-strength drug laboratory. Sybille returns after three days, bragging about an incredible orgy fueled by one of her designer drugs. Mickey sneaks one of the pills into her drink, takes one himself, and they engage in an Olympian sexual encounter in which it appears alarmingly as if someone will get hurt.
How funny does this sound? I believe "Snowman's Land" is intended as a deadpan comedy, with Walter and Mickey taking on aspects of the characters played by Steve Buscemi and Peter Stormare in "Fargo." Unfortunately, the German writer-director Tomasz Thomson is more successful at visual composition than narrative momentum; would-be sequences of black comedy are too stretched out to benefit from timing.
Still, in its cold and remote way, "Snowman's Land" maintained a certain interest for me. The performances are ingratiating in their stupidity, and the plot involves a nice confusion of missing bodies and mistaken motivations, especially after Berger turns up with his ruthless Russian bodyguard and it appears Sybille has gone missing.
At first, Berger assumes the "slut has gone to another orgy with her arty friends," and he warns his employees to double their vigilance against the inbred, degenerate locals he imagines skulk through the forest, plotting butchery and thievery against him. Where these locals live and even whether they exist is a good question, although we may have glimpsed one slipping between the trees.
The film then subjects us to varieties of torture and double-crosses, and both Walter and Mickey wish they had never come anywhere near this godforsaken empty building and its sadistic landlord. I can see what Thomson is getting at and even sort of appreciate it at times; the movie isn't boring, but it meanders and loses track of plot threads. Any feelings we have for the characters is muted because they all richly deserve to die at one another's hands.

Looking for Car Stereos?
Start shoppingWhat You Need to Know about HD Radio™
What is HD Radio?
HD Radio is an upgrading of the way AM and FM radio signals are transmitted, from analog to digital signals. Sounds neat. But what does that mean for us listeners?
HD Radio technology allows broadcasters to transmit a high-quality digital signal. For listeners who have an HD Radio receiver, the benefits are:
- FM radio that sounds almost as good as a CD
- AM radio that sounds as good as traditional FM
- No more static, pops, crackles or fades
- Transmission of additional information, such as song titles and artists
- Increased listening options with multicasting
- Tagging a song for later purchase through the iTunes® Store
Let's take a look at each of these in turn.
FM radio with near CD-quality sound
Digital technology allows a radio station to transmit more information in the same radio wave. Primarily, this means higher quality sound. So much more so that FM transmissions can sound nearly as good as CDs, and definitely much better than the hollow sounds of old analog FM. How much better the music sounds will depend on your local stations and your radio gear.
AM radio that sounds as good as FM Stereo
AM radio uses smaller sections of bandwidth than FM. There is not enough bandwidth for HD Radio to give AM stations the same CD-quality signal as FM stations. But there is enough room to give AM stations clarity equivalent to current analog FM stereo radio. This boost in sound quality is expected to make AM radio a viable alternative to FM, which means more options for listeners.
No more static, pops, crackles or fades
The digital signal is less vulnerable to reception problems. The radio tuner's digital processors eliminate the static, pops, hisses, and fades caused by interference. You hear only clear, clean, rich sound.
Should you lose the digital signal for some reason (obstructing terrain, nearing the edge of the broadcast area, etc.), HD Radio technology defaults back to analog mode, similar to the way current radios switch from stereo to mono mode when receiving a weak signal. The radio sacrifices detail in an effort to boost reception.
Transmission of additional information
Another benefit of digital radio is the radio station's ability to transmit additional information along with the music signal. This can take the form of scrolling text on your receiver's display, such as a song's artist and title, station call letters, and so on. Stations can also include local and regional information, such as weather updates or even traffic alerts.
In addition to duplicating their analog programming with an HD Radio broadcast, stations can subdivide the digital portion of their signal. This allows a station to "multicast" — that is, broadcast two or more programs simultaneously. Listeners might have a choice of, say, a sports game or music.
Being digital only, these additional channels can only be received on an HD Radio tuner. But just as cable TV allowed specialized networks to flourish, multicasting provides the potential for stations to offer more niche programming — ultimately giving the listener a greater variety of formats to choose from.
Multicasting is a big deal for radio stations and listeners alike. A radio station can now better serve its listeners. For instance, a public radio station can broadcast morning jazz music on one "channel" and morning talk programming on another "channel." Same radio station, same frequency on the dial, but multiple options for the listener. A commercial radio station could branch out into multiple formats, having rock on the main channel, and country on its HD2 feed, for example.
iTunes Tagging
Some stations are broadcasting a tag-enabled HD Radio signal, which let you select a song for purchasing at a later time simply by "tagging" it. To take advantage of this feature, you need three things: an iPod; an audio/video component that includes an HD Radio tuner, iPod dock and "Tag" button; and a local radio station that's broadcasting an HD Radio signal that has enabled tagging.
As you're listening, just press the "Tag" button when you hear a song you'd like to buy. The component saves the song information in its memory (but not the song itself). When you dock your iPod to the device, the information automatically transfers to your iPod. The next time you sync your iPod to your computer, a list of the songs you tagged will appear, giving you the option of purchasing them through the iTunes Store. The tagged songs you elect to purchase are then downloaded to your PC's iTunes library, and copied to your iPod.
The technology
A company called iBiquity Digital has created the technology to make this happen. They license this technology to radio stations and consumer electronics manufacturers.
Unlike the conversion to digital television, consumers have a choice of whether to participate in the upgrade. In contrast to the television industry, where the analog signal was turned off by Federal decree, radio stations will continue to broadcast the analog signal along with the new digital signal. If we choose to not upgrade our radios, we can still listen to analog AM and FM radio — although we'll be missing out on the digital-only features and multicasting channels.
How does it work?
HD Radio technology works pretty much just like traditional analog radio transmission:
- The radio station sends out the analog and digital radio signals, along with a third signal for text data.
- The digital signal is compressed before being transmitted.
- The three-layered signal is transmitted from the radio station's upgraded digital transmitter.
- Multipath interference, caused by the signal reflecting off of buildings, is ignored by the digital radio, which is able to discern the true signal and ignore interference.
- Your radio receives the signal and, depending on your equipment, you hear either the digital or analog feed.
What HD Radio technology is not
HD Radio technology is not a subscription service, like satellite radio. It is the same free, over-the-air broadcast radio that we've always known. Only better. It is not something that consumers have to buy into. Everyone can choose to continue listening to their current radios, but eventually all AM/FM radios will incorporate digital technology. It is a natural evolution of the medium.
HD Radio is not the same as satellite radio. Rather, it's an improvement to terrestrial AM and FM radio. Satellite radio, on the other hand, is an alternative to broadcast radio, in the same way that cable or satellite TV are alternatives to broadcast television. Even if you do have satellite radio, there are often times when you want to listen to your local station — and that's where HD Radio comes in.
The Kenwood KTC-HR300 is an add-on HD Radio module that can connect to many existing Kenwood car stereos.
Hear it for yourself
If you want to join the digital radio world, it'll mean spending a little more for a new HD Radio compatible car stereo system or a home stereo HD Radio component than for comparable systems without the HD Radio option. But prices continue to decrease as more manufacturers enter the HD Radio receiver market. HD Radio receivers are being offered as optional equipment in an increasing number of new automobiles.
Some car receivers, like the JVC KD-HDR71BT, come with an HD Radio tuner already built in.
There's a new sound in town
You can go to hd-radio.com to see the stations in your area that are on-the-air with HD Radio, as well as those stations that have licensed the technology and will eventually be broadcasting with it.
Now that HD Radio tuners and receivers are commercially available, more radio stations are investing in the upgrade. They want to keep up with the enhanced sound quality of digital radio. And whether we upgrade right away or wait until our next vehicle has a built-in HD Radio receiver, we, as listeners, win.

Problem Identified: New Yorkers are ignorant of what to do with food waste.
Tae-Yun Kim's Solution: A composting unit for elementary school cafeterias.
Non-Profit Group: Lower East Side Ecology Center
Strengths: Project follows the goals of the non-profit. Good intentions.
Negatives: Shape does not indicate it's purpose. Time issue is unresolved. Not energy efficient. Oblivious to NYC spacial limitations. Board is incomplete. Peek holes are too small.
Our Solution: Integrate the process into the curriculum. Make the composting unit individual sized. Make it fun!
The Design: Loading caps have magnifying lens dual functionality. Body material is soft to the touch. Black material absorbs natural light to facilitate decomposition. You can twist and roll the compod to mix the food waste inside. The side viewing window allows the composter to document progress.

An abnormal lack of sweat in response to heat may be harmful, because sweating allows heat to be released from the body. The medical term for absent sweating is anhidrosis.
Decreased sweating; Anhidrosis
Anhidrosis sometimes goes unrecognized until a substantial amount of heat or exertion fails to cause sweating.
Overall lack of sweating can be life-threatening because the body will overheat. If the lack of sweating happens in a small area only, it is usually not as dangerous.
If there is a danger of overheating, take a cool shower or sit in a cool bathtub and drink plenty of fluids. Remain in a cool environment. Move slowly during hot weather. Avoid heavy exercise and hot foods.
Call your health care provider if you have a general lack of sweating or an abnormal lack of sweating when exposed to heat or strenuous exercise.
The doctor will perform a physical exam. In emergencies, the health care team will perform rapid cooling measures and give you fluids to stabilize you.
Your doctor may ask questions about your symptoms and medical history. You may be given drugs to cause sweating.
You may be asked to wrap yourself in an electric blanket or sit in a sweatbox while the health care team watches your body's reaction.
A skin biopsy may be done. Genetic testing may be done if appropriate.
