More than 670,000 men are diagnosed with prostate cancer globally every year, making it the second-most common cancer in men, after lung cancer. In the U.S., about 600,000 men are being treated with endocrine therapies for prostate cancer. What patients should do is talk about this with their doctor.

Experts said the findings could make doctors think twice before prescribing the standard hormone treatment to men with prostate cancer, particularly if they are at risk of heart disease. The research was announced Tuesday at a joint meeting of the European Cancer Organization and the European Society for Medical Oncology in Berlin.

Prostate cancer patients had a 28 percent higher relative chance of having a fatal heart attack and a 21 percent increased chance of dying from heart disease. Still, these risks were low in absolute terms: researchers estimated the hormone therapies would cause an extra 10 heart problems — like chest pain or a heart attack — a year for every 1,000 prostate cancer patients.
Previous studies have found hormone therapy given to prostate cancer patients with a history of heart disease increases their chances of dying.

Van Hemelrijck hypothesized that hormone therapy disrupts the normal circulation of testosterone in the body. Scientists think testosterone has some protective effect on the heart. Thus, hormones that interfere with testosterone could be deadly.
There is no definitive evidence, though the risk of heart problems is definitely something doctors should consider when prescribing hormone treatment.

The business of beauty is thriving everywhere. Women are spending much of their time and money on buying beauty products. Even in the third world countries, women living below the poverty line, buy cheap and substandard beauty products, which give more harm to their skin than good.

It’s the fundamental right of every woman to look beautiful. Every woman wants to listen the sweet words “you are beautiful”. But the beauty of a woman is far from her looks or figure. Physical beauty is only one aspect while a beautiful charming personality is a complete blend of many fine characteristics such as good manners, etiquette, behavior, smile, intelligence, sense of humor, social and family values etc., all make a woman look beautiful and attractive.

Didn’t you know that there is a marked difference between a carefully hand woven expensive Persian carpet and a cheap machine made carpet. Both of these cannot be equated. A beautiful woman is like an elegant hand-knotted Persian carpet. Each and every silky, colorful thread of her character, nicely woven into her personality, gives a woman an everlasting beauty and attraction.
Looks are very important indeed but the characteristics of a person are much more important. Besides taking care of your physical beauty, why not think of improving your inner beauty. The beauty which everyone admires is becoming a rare commodity these days. While on your way to a beauty parlor keep on thinking ways of improving your inner beauty.
Take care of yourself and take care of your inner beauty. No doubt you are a beautiful person.
We have our own criteria for judging the beauty of a woman. We look the beauty of a lady from a certain angle and then pass the remarks whether she is beautiful or not. It’s not fair. Let me tell every woman that she is unique and beautiful.

There is hardly anything that one can do that will make a statement as much as enhancing the beauty of your eyes, almost everyone looks at the eyes first and nearly everyone will comment on a beautiful pair of eyes. Choose the look that suitable with your personality and powering your self confidence.  Fine if you feel comfortable with the moderate eye shadow. Or feel free to have an exotic look that really draws attention to your eyes.

One way that many woman use to make their eyes more beautiful is by applying mascara to the eye lashes, especially for them who have short or light colored lashes. The process can be messy and can also increase the risk of infection in the eyes. Another alternative to this process is the addition of extensions to the eyelashes that are made of lightweight, synthetic material and look just like real eyelashes.

The application of the right color of eye shadow can go a long way to bringing out the beauty of the eyes. Contrary to what many women think and practice, the eye shadow does not have to be super dark and usually a lighter color will be more attractive and complimentary to the eye. You can use an eye shadow that matches the color of your skin under the eyes to cover any dark circles that you may have.

Next to the eyes, the lips also attract a lot of attention and you don’t have to have lips like Angelina Jolie to take advantage of this. There are new lip gloss products available today that make the lips look moist and beautiful. Be sure that the lipstick or lip gloss product that you wear also contains sunscreen since the lips have no melatonin to protect themselves from the sun. Lip liner is another product that can really make your lips stand out and look more full and thick.

Using the right skin care products to keep your skin looking youthful can help immensely with the overall look you are trying to create. There are many products today that can reduce wrinkles as well as the signs of aging. You should also practice exfoliation on a regular basis to rid of your skin of the dead cells that accumulate. By following these practices and using facial creams that contain parelastin you can keep your skin supple and reduce sagging that can occur with aging.
Many people today are turning to cosmetic surgery as a fast way to get a desired look instead of taking steps to enhance the natural beauty they already possess. The fact of the matter is that it is much less expensive and less painful to takes steps to enhance what you already have. This is not something for a select few, all women have there own degree of beauty and it is crucial that you think about enhancing the features you already have.
