Treat cancer
in half an hour
A gentler form of prostate cancer treatment that takes only 30 minutes has been devised by
British surgeons.
The
technique is just as effective as surgery but
is cheaper and has fewer side effects, Daily
Mail reported.
This means men are back on their feet and back at work sooner and are much less likely to suffer problems such as impotence and incontinence, the newspaper said Friday.

The treatment, pioneered at the Royal Surrey County Hospital in Guildford, is an advanced version of brachytherapy, a technique which has been used successfully for more than a decade.

A natural
solution to backache
Many of
us are afflicted with back pain, which we tend to ignore or pay very little attention
to, during the course of a busy day.
But you cannot overlook the fact
that back pain can make it difficult for you to
stand up, sit down or even walk around comfortably. So it's best you try some
of the following natural remedies and get yourself some relief.
Increase your intake of Vitamin D - A study looked at the prevalence of
vitamin D deficiency in 150 people with chronic
musculoskeletal pain and found that 93 per cent of patients had vitamin D
deficiency! So all people with persistent, non-specific musculoskeletal pain
should get themselves screened for vitamin D deficiency.
Indulge in some music therapy - Low cost and enjoyable, music has
been found to reduce the disability, anxiety, and depression associated with chronic back pain.
It has an immediate effect on reducing pain, although the results are not
statistically significant.
Try some breathing techniques - To reduce pain, try some breathing
techniques that make use of the mind-body connection. These techniques
integrate body awareness, breathing, movement, and meditation. The best thing
about them is that they are safe, free of cost and you can do them at home!
Get a soothing massage - The first thing that comes to your mind when you think of a
backache is to get a nice massage. Massages
may be effective for sub acute and chronic pain. What's more, they reduce
anxiety and depression associated with chronic pain. In fact, massage therapy
is the most popular therapy for low back pain during pregnancy.
