Washington, Feb 24 : The anxiety of waiting for breast biopsy results may put women at increased risk of adverse health effects, according to a new study.
The study led by Elvira V. Lang, M. D., associate professor of radiology at Harvard Medical School, revealed that women experience considerable stress while waiting to undergo breast biopsy and while waiting for the results.
A report issued by National Institute of Virology's (NIV) experts — who are attempting to contain hepatitis-B in Modasa — says that the virus may be a mutant strain.
Hepatitis-B killed three more people in Modasa on Monday, a day on which the Gujarat government vaccinated 50,000 residents of the taluka in 10 hours, in what could be one of India's largest medical mop-ups. The toll from the outbreak has now touched 56, although officials assert that the figure is 45. Two of Monday's casualties are women, identified Kapila Patel (30) and Harshida Rathod (21).
The mass-vaccination drive is being carried out in the Modasa taluka and surrounding villages of the Sabarkantha district by 225 teams of health officials and NGO volunteers.

Washington, Feb 24 : Researchers from Bangor University have found that mental fatigue can have an adverse impact on the physical performance of individuals.
They found that when participants performed a mentally fatiguing task prior to a difficult exercise test, they reached exhaustion more quickly than when they did the same exercise when mentally rested.
During the study, the team including Samuele M. Marcora, Walter Staiano and Victoria Manning also looked at the brain to find out why people with mental fatigue perceive exercise to be more difficult.
Washington, Feb 24: Expression of a master control gene called Ato in fruit flies, and ATOH1 in mammals, can suppress cancer, according to scientists at VIB and K. U. Leuven.
The researchers say that these genes, when switched off, may cause cancer in fruit flies, mice, and humans.
They, however, add that it possible to switch the genes on again with drugs.
