POPSMummy autopsy result 'was wrong' The first scientific autopsy on an ancient Egyptian mummy probably got the cause of death wrong, research suggests. By studying the thinning of the pelvic bone, he established the woman was 50-55 when she died. He also determined that she was a mother, and overweight. He then found that she had an ovarian tumour, and concluded that this - a condition he called ovarian dropsy - probably caused her death. However, the tumour has subsequently been found to be benign, and the UCL team believe the key to the woman's death was the fact that her lungs were inflamed. Tuberculosis was widespread in ancient Egypt and can cause these symptoms.

POPSMarijuana, Cigarettes and the Bush Administration I believed Clinton too because I didn't get high the first time I smoked pot: didn't know how to inhale. (Never have smoked cigs). In American-style Christianity, smoking is a sin. I wonder how Bush reconciles with his god the fact that he is condoning sin by promoting cigarette smoking overseas.

POPSPoor indoor air quality may worsen lung disease No surprise to me. Quite often I will run my air conditioner in order to facilitate breathing. No smoking allowed here! If only --I'd quit years ago. It is what it is. Years ago while working at Hospice, I had a lung cancer patient say to me, "How can you look at me and smoke" she smelled cigarettes on me. I guess it did not impact on me until I began having symptoms.
