POPSThe 46 year pregnancy In an ectopic pregnancy, if the dead foetus is too large to be re-absorbed by the mother’s body it becomes a foreign body to the mother’s immune system. To protect itself from possible infection the mother’s body will encase the foetus in a calciferous substance as the tissues die and dehydrate. As the calciferous wall builds up, the foetus is gradually mummified becoming a lithopedion or stone baby.

POPSThousands Flock to Revival in Search of Miracles Too many people claim to have "spoken to their god" and used the imagined status from this to cause problems for the world. Hardship for the people. It is as if they feel that they are capable of corrupting the image of that god to sate greed. Sad that something with the potential to do good, is so abused by greedy and corrupt people.

POPScancer diagnosis breakthrough The researchers went on to study a length of hair representing 6 months' growth from a breast cancer patient whose hair fell out following chemotherapy. X-ray diffraction at three points along the hair showed clear evidence of the ring at the position furthest from the hair root, a fainter ring at the middle point, and complete absence of the ring close to the root. "This progressive reduction in the intensity of the ring appears to correlate with the patient's course of treatment and possibly indicates the eradication of the cancer as a result of that treatment," As for the reason for the ring pattern, they suggest it may represent "incorporation of extraneous lipid material into the fiber as a result of the presence of a tumor." It may also be that the disease affects hair follicles in some way. Further testing is needed to establish the accuracy of this methodology as a diagnostic test for breast cancer, they conclude

The debate continues about whether caffeine is good or bad - see this week's new studies reporting that it may lower a woman's risk of ovarian cancer and double her risk of miscarriage. Either way, it looks like Starbucks plans on making it harder to resist the drug by potentially offering it for $1. It's still better than a cheeseburger, I guess.

POPSbirth weight and size determine adult health "A study published last year by Dr. Barker and his colleagues hinted of a possible link between intrauterine hormonal or nutritional factors and the risk of developing ovarian cancer. Noting that there is an association between ovarian cancer and tallness, the researchers examined early growth in 5,585 women in Hertfordshire. Although there was no difference in average birth weights, the 41 women who died from ovarian cancer ''had had a high rate of weight gain in infancy,'' weighing nearly a pound more on average at their first birthday than women free of this cancer. The researchers suggested that hormonal patterns that affected the ovary might be established in utero and result in speeded growth in infancy, early menarche and an increased risk of infertility and ovarian cancer later in life.
