Breastfeeding Could Reduce Risk Of Aggressive Form Of Breast Cancer That Disproportionately Affects Black, Younger Women
�
Breastfeeding for at least six months might lower the risk of infection of developing so-called "triad negative" breast cancer, an aggressive sort of the disease that is more common in black and younger women, according to a study published on Monday in the journal Cancer, the Seattle Post-Intelligencer reports (Paulson, Seattle Post-Intelligencer, 8/24).
Nearly 50% of black women younger than age 55 wHO are diagnosed with white meat cancer have the three-bagger negative type, compared with 22% of white women. The five-year survival rate for triple negative chest cancer is 15% lower than for other types of the disease, in part because the disease responds ailing to most breast cancer treatments (Kaiser Health Disparities Report, 5/30).
To set what puts women at risk for the triad negative type of white meat cancer, lead researcher Amanda Phipps, a scientist in the public health division of the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, and colleagues studied two groups of women ages 55 to 79. One group was made up of 1,cxl women wHO had several different forms of breast cancer, including the triad negative type, the most common "sodium thiopental" form and another mannequin associated with the HER2 protein. The second grouping was made up of 1,476 women wHO had not been diagnosed with breast cancer.
Researchers took into account the participants' procreative health histories, which would provide indicators of hormone levels over time, such as breastfeeding practices and the onslaught of flow and change of life.
Among other findings, researchers found that breastfeeding for at least six months corresponded with a lour risk of developing the triple-negative signifier of chest cancer and the mutual luminal var.. It is not exactly clear wherefore breastfeeding influenced hormonal cancer risks. Phipps said, "One possible explanation is that while women are breastfeeding, they aren't menstruating and so their hormones aren't cycling," so the yearner women suckle, the less chance their hormones have to develop a cancer. Another theory is that breastfeeding alters the social structure of breast cells in a way that makes them less prone to develop into cancer cells, Phipps aforesaid.
She aforementioned the findings indicate that reproductive behavior "helps explicate why some women ar at higher risk and also why certain therapies are non effective against these more aggressive forms of breast cancer" (Seattle Post-Intelligencer, 8/24).
An abstract of the study is available on-line.

Student Project Address Access To Healthcare For Underserved
�In a journal clause released August 1 students and module at UMDNJ-Robert Wood Johnson Medical School discuss the success of a service learning design created and operated by medical students in 2004 to address access to healthcare for New Brunswick's uninsured residents.

Through the Promise Clinic, and under the direct supervising of volunteer licensed physicians, teams of volunteer medical students service as primary care providers. The patients also receive, at no cost, prescription medications, basic laboratory studies, and vaccinations which are supported by grant financial backing. Student leaders at the clinic ar responsible for recruiting patients, student doctors, and faculty to staff the clinic. They too handle grant writing and budgeting, as well as managing the day-to-day operations.
"We are very proud to have implemented this broadcast," said Manuel Jimenz, pencil lead author of the paper, a 2007 graduate of Robert Wood Johnson Medical School and a paediatric resident at Children's National Medical Center in Washington, D.C.
"The collaborative environment of the Promise Clinic allows the students to make a significant contribution to the community by serving those wHO most pauperism access to necessary health care."

"Ultimately, the continuity of care that is provided to patients is the greatest success of the clinic."
In its conclusion, the report encourages other aesculapian schools to establish interchangeable service learning programs to enhance medical education for students. The report says: "The student-doctor team example provides rich learning opportunities and exposure to continuity of charge for students at all levels of training� Continuity experiences canful provide valuable lessons, including observation of the course and treatment of disease and formation of relationships with patients (rather than complaints or disease). Such long-term interactions can create powerful bonds between a patient and a student."
The clinic uses the facilities of St. John's Family Health Center which is located crossways the street from Elijah's Promise. St. John's is operated by Catholic Charities of the Diocese of Metuchen, N.J., and managed by medical director and primary physician Steven Levin, MD, associate professor of family medicine at Robert Wood Johnson Medical School and a faculty adviser at the Promise Clinic.

He is an acolyte of Rick Cox, Michael Jon Fink, and Jim Fox, all revolving around the label Cold Blue. His music, eerie soundscapes both assuasive and haunting, can be heard on Nikko Wolverine (2000) and Aluminum Overcast (2001).
Smith's mother was the church organist for the First Congregational Church, so he went through forte-piano lessons starting at the age of eight. He got his first taste of the electric guitar when he heard Link Wray's "Rumble" on American Bandstand and at geezerhood 14 dropped the forte-piano.
