signs of prostate problems in men :: Article Creator 'A Laser Zapped My Prostate' by ROGER DOBSON, Daily Mail A new green-light laser treatment for benign prostate disease takes only 20 minutes and reduces the risk of side-effects, including impotence and incontinence. The laser is attracted to red blood cells, which means that when it is pointed at the prostate it attacks only the gland itself and not the surrounding, lighter-coloured area, which may contain nerves and other delicate tissue. The treatment requires no overnight hospital stay and cuts recovery time, with some men returning to work the day after the operation rather than up to six weeks later as with some treatments.

Photo Credit: Mohammed Haneefa Nizamudeen Researchers compared surgical outcomes among patients with early endometrial cancer who underwent laparoscopic, robotic-assisted, or open surgery.

glioblastoma multiforme diagnosis :: Article Creator Signs And Symptoms Of Glioblastoma (GBM) Glioblastoma (GBM), also called glioblastoma multiforme, is an aggressive type of brain cancer. While the cancer does not usually spread to other parts of the body, it can quickly spread to other areas of the brain. As the tumor puts pressure on the brain, you can develop a variety of symptoms. Some glioblastoma symptoms, like headache and nausea, are common in all types of brain cancers. These symptoms are known as generalized symptoms. Other symptoms—and how severe they are—can depend on where the tumor is and how big it is. These symptoms, which include vision changes and loss of bladder control, are known as focal symptoms.
