Treating Prostate Cancer with Hormone Therapy

Prostate cancer hormone therapy refers to the process of interrupting of the body?s production of testosterone which, may help stop or slow the growth and spread of prostate cancer. It is also known as androgen deprivation therapy.

The sex hormone testosterone is what causes the growth of the prostate gland and other sexual organs in males. Even after puberty, testosterone continues to cause the prostate to grow. However testosterone cannot tell the difference between healthy cells and cancerous cells.? Hormone therapy cuts off the supply of hormones that fuel the growth of cells, which can slow and even stop the growth of the tumor.

Testosterone production in the body is controlled by the hypothalamus gland located in the brain. If a person?s testosterone levels drop, this gland releases chemical triggers to stimulate the release of more of the hormone.

There are four basic methods of hormone therapy to combat prostate cancer:

Castration

Castration, also known as orchiectomy, surgically removes the testicles, which produces 90% of the body?s testosterone. Orchiectomy is effective in quickly lowering testosterone levels.

Estrogen

Estrogen is the female sex hormone, but when it is introduced into the body it confuses the hypothalamus into ceasing testosterone production. Estrogen treatment is not commonly used to treat prostate cancer due to the fact that the synthetic version has been shown to cause serious cardiovascular problems.

Anti-Androgens

Anti-androgens fill the receptors in prostate cells. These receptors are responsible for how the prostate receives testosterone and by blocking them; it is possible to stop the growth of cancer cells. Unlike other forms of hormone treatment, anti-androgens do not interfere with the production of testosterone in the body. Because of this, men typically experience fewer or less severe side-effects such as urinary incontinence or erectile dysfunction.

Combined Androgen Blockade

This method is used to treat more advanced or severe cases of prostate cancer and involves both castration and anti-androgens. This method prevents the testicles from producing 90% of the body?s testosterone and blocks the prostate?s ability to receive the hormone.

Hormone therapy is often used to shrink the prostate prior to radiation therapy in early-stage prostate cancer. This makes the tumor much easier to destroy using radiation treatments. Hormone therapy is also sometimes used after surgery or radiation to help prevent the recurrence of the cancer cells.

As with other forms of prostate cancer treatment, hormone therapy carries the risk of erectile dysfunction and may also increase the risk of heart disease or heart attack.

LG Optimus LTE, LTE Tag and Vu to get ICS in June

LG has announced on their Korean site that the Optimus LTE, the Optimus LTE Tag, and the Optimus Vu: will be receiving the Ice Cream Sandwich updates starting June 4. Coming with the update will be a new UI layer for all the devices, a new feature called kwiknote that promises access to a note app from any screen, ad the Vu: will get a feature that allows apps to run side-by-side on the 4:3 screen.

Of course there's no word on carrier involvement, and nothing about LG's other offerings. We're not really surprised considering this came from the Korea office, but we have to mention it. Hopefully the ball is now rolling and we'll be seeing ICS on more LG devices before it's too late to matter.

Study: Aspirin may help prevent skin cancer | WTVR.com - WTVR 6

Posted on: 5:41 pm, May 29, 2012, by Lauren Mackey, updated on: 05:42pm, May 29, 2012

In addition to your sunscreen, you may want to take aspirin with you to the beach or pool.

A new study shows aspirin and other commonly used painkillers not only ease aches and pains, they can also protect against skin cancer.

Researchers analyzed medical reports from Denmark and found individuals who filled more than two prescriptions for N-SAID pain relievers, including aspirin and ibuprofen, decreased their risk for developing two types of skin cancer, especially if the drugs were taken for seven years or more at a high intensity.

You should consult your doctor before taking aspirin on a regular basis.

Reasons why we can't rely on Government finances ?time to get ...

You?ve heard it on the news: the US government has serious problems with its finances. Some voices say that the government can not afford to cover the costs of education and healthcare anymore. The world has changed and so, governments from different corners of the world have problems in covering different costs. Even if the US government decided to lower different taxes this is not something good. Obviously, lower taxes will bring less money for the government. This is only one of the reasons why we can?t rely on the government finances. We can not ask for the help of an institution that does not have enough funds to cover different expenses. Have you noticed that private financing companies earn more and more customers? People who refuse to benefit of the help that?s offered by the US government choose to get unsecured signature loans bad credit services or payday loans.?

There?ll come a day in this life when people who have borrowed money through one of the programs which were started by the US government will be obliged to pay different fees and taxes. That?s the reason why most people choose to benefit of unsecured signature loans bad credit services or of other services which are offered by private financing companies.?

What happens with jobless people??

Other voices who work for the US government say that there will come a day when the government will not afford to offer money to those people who do not have a stable job. This means that you have all chances to be left with no money if you will lose your job. How can you prevent the occurrence of such an unpleasant situation? Well, specialists say that unsecured signature loans bad credit services and secured bad credit loans represent the best solution for those people who want to prevent this situation. The truth is that by getting such a loan the applicant is able to put some money in his savings account.

Don?t you even dare to think that unsecured signature loans bad credit services or other types of services which are offered by bad credit financing companies are unaffordable. In most cases, these services are available at a reasonable price so you can be sure that you will not have problems in getting one. Do not forget that this is your chance to save some money for rainy days. You should listen to the advice of those financial experts who say that bad credit financing services can help you stay away from trouble.?

Daily Dose of Decadence: Writing While Gaming

Writing While Gaming

By Alanna Blackett

Well, maybe not while gaming. More like inspired by gaming. Regardless, this post is going to be about video games. I rediscovered video games when I was 24 and had evacuated to Boston from New Orleans for Hurricane Katrina. I was in a tiny sublet with no furniture and not a whole lot to do. My boyfriend (now husband) bought Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. I?d played some computer games when I was a kid, but I?d never played a roleplaying game. So I make my character, and I?m running around the spaceship, which is the opening scene. Running into walls, of course, because I?m not used to navigating with the keys. And I keep saying over my shoulder, ?The ship is crashing! Oh no! Oh! This cute guy is flirting with me, what do I say? OH MY GOD I CAN FLIRT BACK! Sweetie, look! I?m flirting! And I got a new gun! And met a robot! It?s like I?m in Star Wars. This is the best thing ever!? I played for six hours straight and then got up at 6 AM the next morning so I could beat him to the computer and play more. And a monster was created.The great thing about roleplaying games is they drop you into a world full of story, and you have choices about who you?re going to be and how you?re going to play. There are a lot of stereotypes out there about video games, but some of them really do have amazing writing. The best ones have fully realized worlds. For example, every time I play a Mass Effect game, I?m awestruck by the pages and pages of history the game developers have written about their galaxy. You can read about the backstory of the different planets and species, and it?s all extremely interesting. It gets me inspired, since I mostly write science fiction. A good sci fi game will always get me in the writing mood by sparking these cool ideas about setting and characters. In fact, last month I was having the worst time because one of my writing projects is a historical romance, but every time I played Mass Effect 3 it kept making me want to cheat on it with sci fi. In my cyberpunk romance novella, Unsecure Connection, there is actually a gaming scene. I didn?t plan on it?it just sort of popped into my head and I ran with it. My main characters, Riley and CJ are just getting to know each other, and she tells him to follow her to what he thinks is another location in ?interspace? (which is kind of a virtual-reality version of the internet in my book). And surprise! He?s on a street with a giant robot shooting at him because it turns out she?s dropped him into a game she plays. Which I thought was a nice little play on gender stereotypes because Riley, the female character, is the one who is a gamer, and CJ doesn?t even know how to play. I got a huge kick out of writing the lingo of the game. But really, I have to admit I?m kind of jealous. If I had access to virtual reality games like Riley, I?m pretty sure I?d be running around with a big gun shooting robots too. And then I?d never get anything done.?

How Too Much Communication Killed a Relationship

Communication that hurts relationships | BIGG Success He had always been proud to call her his bride. But now things were different. She was different.

He knew it hadn?t happened overnight. But it seemed like it did. He began to notice it with little things.

He would ask a question. She wouldn?t respond.

He cracked a joke. She didn?t laugh.

They would go out for dinner. He talked about his day. She seemed bored.

He asked her about her day. She didn?t have much to say.

Her mind always seemed to be somewhere else. And then he started to understand the source of the problem.

She had begun seeking solace from another. An outsider had intruded into their relationship.

This outsider was a force to be reckoned with. It was evident in the changes he could see in her.

They had always said that nothing could ever come between them. Now this one was.

It all seemed so innocent?at first. She had introduced him to this outsider. He was glad that she had this source of support. He could see how happy she was playing with this one.

But now she was smitten. Almost all of her attention was reserved for this ?thing?. He couldn?t think of ?it? as human but she sure did.

?How much time does she need to spend communicating with it?? he wondered. ?Why is she so fascinated??

This thing was ever present. Every day. In the evening. Even on the weekends. She always had time for it.

?Maybe I?m the third party,? he thought, feeling sorry for himself. No, he was just coming to terms with reality.

She made him feel less important than that thing she had fallen in love with. He felt alone.

At times, he was angry. On other occasions, he felt hurt, dejected, rejected.

But little did he know, it was about to get worse for him. One night, he had to work late.

He got home, stopped and looked at the mail, and then wandered over to the refrigerator. She had told him she would have a plate for him to heat up.

He opened the door and looked in. No plate.

He looked around. Maybe plans had changed. Had she left a note.

No note anywhere. No nothing.

He walked toward their bedroom. He didn?t know that his world was about to fall apart.

As he gazed through the open door, she was asleep in bed. But she wasn?t alone.

She was snuggled up with the thing ? her smartphone!

Do you sleep with your smartphone?

(Inspired by Sleeping With Your Smartphone by Leslie Perlow)

Organic Pest Control for NJ Homeowners - IdeaMarketers.com

There are few things more annoying than being plagued with pests and unwanted insects. Now, thanks to organic pest control. NJ homeowners have the option to get rid of ants, cockroaches, wasps, mice, squirrels and other unwanted and destructive pests. While a few of these methods can be implemented by any homeowner, others require a professional organic pest control NJ company. In case green pest control NJ companies aren't on your radar, here are a few ways they can treat your property and home to ensure a pest-free summer.

Botanical and Essential Oils

Most exterminators use synthetic and chemical insecticides, poisons and pesticides. That may be the traditional route, but you should know that nature has provided many substances that are not harmful to humans or pets. Green pest control NJ companies use treatments made with botanical ingredients and essential oils. Although that may sound more like a recipe for a massage than a strategy for getting rid of unwanted insects and animals, they have a proven record of repelling pests like carpenter ants, wasps, bees, squirrels, cave crickets and ticks. By signing up for a regular program of organic pest control, NJ property owners can enjoy a summer without being concerned about ticks, wasps and other dangerous and destructive pests.

Traps and Removal

When it comes to green pest control, NJ experts understand that removing an animal or insect nest is usually a preferable alternative to killing the animals. New Jersey organic companies will use the more humane option of trapping and removing squirrels, raccoons and other large rodents and relocating them to a safe area located far away. They can also neutralize wasps, bees and other stinging insects and relocate their nests to an area where they are not dangerous to you and your family.

Prevention

When it comes to potential pest problems, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Part of any good program is preventing re-infestation. A good NJ pest control company will determine how pests are getting into your home and onto your property and block their access routes. Organic pest control NJ experts will advise you on such matters as trimming overhanging branches, screening openings and holes that allow insects and small rodents to enter, and ways to store food and garbage so that it's not attractive to pests.

New Jersey Insects

New Jersey is the Garden State, and thus home to thousands of species of insects. Yet, only a few of them commonly rise to the level of "pest." The most common are cockroaches, ants, carpenter ants, wasps, yellow jackets, centipedes, cave crickets, ticks and bed bugs. Some of these are dangerous - cockroaches carry disease and contribute to allergies and asthma, for example - while others, such as centipedes and cave crickets, are merely nuisances. All can be controlled by organic pest control methods.

Green Pest Control

Whether you live in the suburbs, the city or a rural area, your home is subject to invasion by wild animals, including skunks, squirrels, pigeons, raccoons and groundhogs. In addition to spreading disease, these animals can play havoc with your vegetable garden, destroy your lawn and damage your home or property in other ways. Organic companies can trap and relocate most animal pests.

Why subject your family to noxious chemicals and damaging neurotoxins when you can hire an organic company to get rid of your pests permanently - without dangerous poisons?

NASA: SpaceX docking ranks near top of space-age 'firsts' (+video)

The successful docking of the SpaceX Dragon capsule with the International Space Station Friday is a landmark moment in opening space to wider use, NASA officials say.

By Pete Spotts,?Staff writer / May 25, 2012

The SpaceX Dragon commercial cargo craft (top) approaches the International Space Station Friday.

The first commercially operated cargo ship destined for the International Space Station entered the record books Friday when the station's crew confirmed that SpaceX's Dragon spacecraft was securely docked to the orbiting outpost.

Dragon cleared its first major hurdle of the day Friday when station flight engineer Don Petitt, the mission's grappler-in-chief, captured the Dragon capsule with the station's robotic arm as the craft free-floated some 30 feet from the docking port.

?Houston? Station. Looks like we've got us a dragon by the tail,? Dr. Petitt said as NASA's mission control confirmed that the arm's grip was solid.

Without skipping a beat, he deadpanned, ?We're thinking this sim[ulation] went really well. We're ready to turn it around and do it for real,? as applause and hugs broke out in two control rooms ? NASA's and SpaceX's at the company's Hawthorne, Calif., headquarters.

Until its conclusion on May 31, the mission remains a test flight ? combining into one mission the objectives initially planned for two launches this year. But its?success so far signals that a company NASA has helped nurture can perform the difficult feat of lofting a craft capable of catching up with another spacecraft traveling at faster-than-bullet speeds, matching its pace, and safely docking with it ? something no other privately-operated spacecraft has done.

Indeed, Dragon was not merely carrying a demonstration payload of roughly 1,000 pounds of food, clothing, and other items to the space station. It was carrying the hopes of a US commercial spaceflight industry aiming to build a thriving space-transportation sector in much the same way fledgling air carriers emerged during the early decades of the 20th Century to build a thriving commercial air-transportation industry.

Over the years, NASA officials have spoken of the ?firsts? the US space program has accomplished, said Michael Suffredini, space-station program manager at NASA, at a news briefing Friday afternoon.

?This rates right at the top,? he said of the partnership between NASA and SpaceX. NASA established requirements SpaceX had to meet operating near the space station. Beyond those requirements, he said, ?a contractor relatively independent of NASA designed on its own a spacecraft, [then] completely built and tested and flew this spacecraft in a manner that has been remarkable.?

A space-station workout

The rendezvous and docking Friday gave participating space-station crew members a workout.

Although the process of grappling and berthing may look fairly simple, it isn't, notes astronaut Catherine Coleman, who grappled Japan's cargo craft, known by its acronym HTV, on its second supply mission to the station in January 2011. She likens it to trying to pass something from one car to another ? when both are traveling at interstate speeds.

On orbit, it's a Grey Poupon moment at 17,500 miles an hour.

?This is truly a momentous accomplishment for SpaceX and for the industry,? said former astronaut and space-station commander Michael Lopez-Alegria, now president of the Commercial Spaceflight Federation in Washington, in a prepared statement.
