Endometrial Cancer Women with PCOS do have a slightly higher chance of developing endometrial cancer than women who don’t have PCOS. The more irregular and fewer periods a woman has, the greater her risk becomes. During a normal menstrual cycle, the endometrium is exposed to hormones, like estrogen, which cause the lining to proliferate and thicken. When ovulation does not occur, which is typical in PCOS, the lining is not shed and is exposed to much higher amounts of estrogen causing the endometrium to grow much thicker than normal....

PCR revolutionized the study of DNA and has been called one of the most important advances in molecular biology.

BDS has attracted huge controversy ever since its launch in 2005. But the attention it has received stands in inverse relation to its actual impact. Its main success has been in keeping alive political activism on Palestine, particularly in university campuses in the West, even as public opinion turned to multiple other crises, from Syria to climate change. Yet the BDS campaign has failed to achieve meaningful economic divestment from or diplomatic sanctions on Israel....

The cerebral cortex is the outer layer of the brain, and the medulla oblongata is the part of the brain that sends messages to the spinal cord. The pons connects the cerebral cortex and medulla oblongata. The pons is responsible for a number of autonomic nervous system functions. These are things that happen automatically in your body, like heart rate regulation, your response to pain, and your sleep-wake cycle....

This may be about to change. With Congress failing to extend vital safety net programs created during the pandemic, poor and low-income people will be voting for their lives in this year’s midterms. Despite all the challenges of the pandemic and other barriers to voter participation, 58 million poor and low-income Americans turned out for the 2020 election. They did not vote for a return to “normal.” For everyone to thrive, we must do much more to tackle the interlocking injustices that long pre-date the COVID-19 crisis—the injustices of systemic racism, poverty, ecological devastation, and militarism....

Tip: Baby’s got back. The first Porsche with room for a back-seat infant carrier.

The Portugal superstar, 33, netted inside the opening five minutes of his side’s World Cup clash at the Luzhniki Stadium on Wednesday. Ronaldo has now scored more international goals than any other European player in history following his 85th effort on the international stage. And the Real Madrid man is now only behind Iran legend Ali Daei (109 goals) in the all-time rankings. Ronaldo followed up his stunning hat-trick against Spain on matchday one by breaking the European record in what is the latest achievement of his remarkable career....

Definition A lung mass is defined as an abnormal spot or area in the lungs larger than 3 centimeters (cm), about 1.5 inches, in size. Spots smaller than 3 cm in diameter are considered lung nodules. Causes The most common causes of a lung mass differ from those of a lung nodule. The chance that the abnormality may be malignant (cancerous) is lower for a lung nodule than it is for a mass....

Goals from Takuma Asano and Yosuke Ideguchi gave the home side a deserved win that guaranteed their place at next year’s finals in Russia. The Socceroos struggled throughout to threaten the Japan goal and have now failed to win in five outings since their 3-2 victory over Saudi Arabia in June. The result leaves them in third place in Group B, behind Bert van Marwijk’s side on goal difference, meaning they must beat Thailand on the final day and hope Japan can avoid defeat in Jeddah if they are to seal the second automatic qualifying spot....

Postpartum psychosis is rare but severe and can cause a new mother to lose touch with reality. People with this mental disorder may hear voices or see things that aren’t there and believe things that aren’t true. They may also exhibit paranoia and rapid mood swings....

Lately, though, things have turned around. Voices from all corners–feminists, gangsta rappers, fundamentalist Christians, gender theorists, evolutionary biologists, geneticists, biochemists-are re-examining the nature of masculinity. A half decade after the bloom of the men’s movement, a handful of recent books posit that what a man really wants is . . . well, power, dominion and the rest-but there’s an explanation. As Badinter reckons, masculinity–far more than femininity–is an abstraction, something to be achieved rather than simply lived out....
