PSA Screening May Be Biased Against Obese Men, Leading To More Aggressive Cancers

Testing men for elevated levels of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) in the blood -- the gold standard screening test for prostate cancer -- may be biased against obese men, whose PSA levels tend to be deceptively low. And this bias may be creating more aggressive cancers in this population by delaying diagnosis, according to a new study led by investigators in the Duke Prostate Center and the Durham Veterans Affairs (VA) Medical Center.

lostdusk added an entry about lose weight : I was going to weigh myself tomorrow morning. however, I don’t want the scale to determine how I feel when I’m staying at my grandparents house, so I won’t. The next monday I won’t either, because I know I may have gained / not lost because of staying at my grandparents. So I figured, I’d wait untill the end of the summer holidays. So I only have 3 weeks to wait. Hopefully I’ll weigh in about 3 pounds lighter.

Seeing a difference

~*~ lori ~*~ added an entry about lose weight : I might not be losing any weight, though I am not gaining any either, but I am noticing a difference in my clothes and that ROCKS !!! I wore jeans last night to this party and they FIT ! Granted, they didn’t fit the way I want them to ultimatley fit, but they fit none the less! So that means that this weight lose lifestyle change (I REFUSE to call it a diet) is working. I am finally seeing some results and I don’t feel like I’m cheating myself out of anything. I mean, yes I would love to eat a pint of Ben & Jerry’s but do I need to, nope.

Amanda added an entry about lose weight : I have lost a pant size I am a size 6 Yea! sounds like nothing to most but I am 4’11 and for my height I feel like I am overweight. I weight 130. I don’t want to be short and stubby. I want to at least be back to a size 2. I was at a size zero for a long time but I think that is way unhealthy. a healthy size for my height would be a size 2 or 4. Thanks Amanda

Scientists To Assess Beijing Olympics Air Pollution Control Efforts

As the Summer Olympics in Beijing kicks off this week, the event is giving scientists a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to observe how the atmosphere responds when a heavily populated region substantially curbs everyday industrial emissions. The National Science Foundation (NSF)-funded "Cheju ABC Plume-Monsoon Experiment" (CAPMEX) will include a series of flights by specially equipped unmanned aircraft known as autonomous unmanned aerial vehicles (AUAVs).

Bleh.

Michaela added an entry about lose weight : I’ve had this on my list since I first got this account… yet I’ve really done nothing to contribute to accomplishing it. I don’t even have a goal weight or size I want to reach. I just want to be healthier. I wouldn’t mind weighing 120 pounds again, but I’d have to lose over 20 pounds to do that. The worst part is that I now live in an apartment community where I can use a gym for free. I live in an area where I can take long walks safely. I’ve only used the gym twice the whole time I’ve been here. Need to get on that.

DLMKLS added an entry about lose weight : So far I’ve lost about 14 and a half lbs on Slim4Life. BUT …...I went to Grandma’s last week. Never good for a diet. So I probably gained a couple back. I’m doing well now that I’m home again. Good luck everyone and don’t starve yourselves!
