Decrease Cancer Risk By Eating Rainbow Of Fruits, Vegetables
Micronutrients in brightly colored produce may help decrease cancer risk. As John Basedow reports, researchers from Harvard Medical School and Brigham Women #39;s Hospital believe carotenoids, the pigments that give fruits and vegetables vibrant colors, have anti-cancer effects. Carrots, spinach and kale are particularly high in carotenoids. Buzz60 is designed for the way we live now. Short, quirky video snacks that are a little sassy, and always smart.

Advice for This Gorilla Who Farted
Someone posted a video on the Internet of you farting. Remember this guy? He was once a part of some really important research at Harvard Medical School, but all anyone remembers him as is...well, you know. Anyway, we #39;re just writing to offer some advice on how to handle this delicate situation. Don #39;t cite the whoever-smelt-it-dealt-it rule. Never works. Always....um...backfires. Also, you might be tempted to blame this, but again, we caution you to tread lightly. Mac fanatics shoot to kill. Probably the best way to handle this is to take a cue from someone whose name is synonymous with grace and dignity.

POA Patient Profile: Amanda - Hemipelvectomy Amputee
Amanda was just finishing her first year of medical school when she was diagnosed with a large osteochondroma sarcoma in her pelvis. After efforts to treat and stop the progression of the disease failed, her doctors had no choice but to perform a hemipelvectomy (through the pelvis) amputation. Amanda #39;s surgeon used an experimental procedure where the thigh muscles are packed into the pelvic region, leaving all nerves and blood vessels intact. The procedure was successful, leaving Amanda with a good padding of muscle at the amputation site which not only allows her to sit more comfortably, but provides a good surface for her prosthetic limb.
