During laparoscopic radical prostatectomy the entire prostate gland and seminal vesicles are removed. Once they are removed, the bladder is reattached to the urethra. If cancer has spread to the lymph nodes close to the prostate, these may also be removed by laparoscopy during surgery. This lymph node dissection is not necessary and thus is only performed on patients at high risk for metastasis (spread) of prostate cancer.

People are exposed to small amounts of radiation every day, both from naturally occurring sources (such as elements in the soil or cosmic rays from the sun), and man-made sources. Man-made sources include some electronic equipment (such as microwave ovens and television sets), medical sources (such as x-rays, certain diagnostic tests, and treatments), and from nuclear weapons testing.

Obviously this proposal would put pressure on some pregnant women to have abortions, and would also result in more deserted lone mothers where they don't have abortions.

overwhelming majority of EC users are satisfied with the method. One study found that 97 percent of EC users would recommend the method to friends and family (Harvey et al., 1999). Another study found that 92 percent of women who had used EC would use it again in the case of a contraceptive emergency (Breitbart et al., 1998). overwhelming majority of women who choose medication abortion are satisfied with the method.

Many insurance companies will cover an abortion procedure. Every policy is different. To determine whether your policy covers abortion, call your insurance company and ask them if they pay for an outpatient, elective abortion.

Abortion has been around a long time, but it began to grow into a deluge, as you so well put it, when the Supreme Court rulled on it in 1973, about one generation ago.

BSE was first observed in Great Britain in April 1985 and was officially diagnosed in 1986. By June 1990, some 14,000 cases were confirmed (out of an estimated population of 10 million cattle) in Great Britain. Since 1986, more than 185,000 cases of BSE have been confirmed in Great Britain. The epidemic peaked in 1992-93 at almost 1,000 new cases per week. Control measures have since reduced incidence of the disease, and currently fewer than 100 new cases are reported per week.

New influenza viruses emerge as a result of a process called antigenic shift, which causes a sudden and major change in influenza A viruses. These changes occur when proteins on the surface of the virus combine in new ways as a result of mutation or exchange of genetic material between multiple influenza viruses. If such changes result in a new influenza A virus subtype that can infect humans and spread easily from person to person, an influenza pandemic can occur.
