Colic and Probiotics – A Cure for the Crying?
Colic is a syndrome that appears in up to 20% of infants. It is generally defined by a set of criteria in which a baby between the ages of 2 weeks and 16 weeks cries inconsolably for at least 3 hours a day for at least 3 days a week, lasting at least 3 weeks. Colic has no defined etiology, and no effective treatments. But, any parent who has suffered through a baby with colic would be willing to try almost any remedy to soothe a crying baby.
Risk of Prostate Cancer? Check Your Hairline
Prostate cancer is the leading cancer among American men, but little is actually known about its causes or risk factors. Androgens -- male sex hormones -- are necessary for the growth and functioning of the prostate gland and contribute to the growth of tumors of the prostate. Androgens are also necessary for the growth and development of hair. A new study expands on this association and reports that men with prostate cancer are more than twice as likely to have had male pattern baldness beginning at age 20 than men without prostate cancer.
