Cause of Breast cancer :


Antiperspirants, bras, abortions or miscarriages, pollution, tobacco smoke or breast implants can cause breast cancer have not been found to directly cause breast cancer according to several studies.

Family factor : If any direct family member/parent has breast cancer, it increases your of inheriting it.

Hormonal factor : Women who start menstruating at an early age (11 or younger) or experience a late menopause (55 or older) have a slightly higher risk of developing breast cancer.

Age factor : Chances of contracting breast cancer increases with age.

Birth control pills, not having children or having them later in life, using bormone therapy after menopause, not breast feeding or lack of exercise can cause breast cancer. Various studies have concluded that any one of these factor can cause breast cancer.

Don’t Let Cervical Cancer Threaten Her

Cervical cancer is one of the leading causes of death of women worldwide. In Bangladesh, 14 women die of cervical cancer everyday and almost 13 thousand women are diagnosed every year.

Every woman may be at risk of cervical cancer. Immensely spread Human Papillomavirus (HPV) is the main cause of cervical cancer. This cancer can be prevented by vaccination.

Know about cervical cancer, protect yourself and your dear ones.

Fight Breast Cancer's step continue ........


Step : 2 ----- Breast Screening :

clinical Breast Exam(CBE) – You know your body and if you have any inkling of a change in your breasts then get a second opinion from a doctor. The CBE entails the doctor’s feeling or palpating the breasts and underarms to detect any abnormalities.

Mammogram – A clinical procedure used to make an X-ray of the breast. This can be used to dither reveal lumps that are not yet visible and are possible malignant or it can be used to find cancer that has not spread from the duct to other tissues from the breast: non invasive cancer. NOTE-For women under the age of 50, mammograms are not 100% accurate (they are incorrect 10-15% of the time) and are unable to detect the cancer in younger woemn because they have denser breast tissue which appears white on a mammogram.

MRI- This test is more sensitive to breast cancer derection than mammography. MRI’s  are used in addendum to mammograms and CBEs and can be used to analyse the size of the tumour and plan the type of surgery to be conducted next. It is also used to examine breasts after surgery or radiation therapy.

Biopsy- This is the most critical and most accurate step. Small tissue samples are extracted and tested by a pathologist to determine if cancer is present.


Step 3- Cancer Treatment :

Surgery- Surgery can be of two types :  lumpectomy where only the affected cancer cells are surgically removed, and mastectomy, where the entire breast is removed. Bilateral mastectomy involves removal of both the breasts. Breast reconstruction can be considered if mastectomy is pursued.

Radiation therapy- This is standard procedure after lumpectomy, targeting any other cancerous cells that might have been missed.

Hormone therapy- This is standard procedure after lumpectomy, targeting any other cancerous cells that might have been missed.

Hormone therapy- This process entails treatment with tamoxifen to prevent cancer developing again in the same or opposite breast.

Step : 4-Follow-up :
Careful and routine follow-up is required for the rest of a person’s life if he/she had been diagnosed and treated. Follow-up every three to six months for the next two to three years is crucial and includes mammography, chest X-rays and even bone or CT scans.

Fight Breast Cancer Now :


The month of October was designated international breast cancer awareness month and the pink ribbon is the emblem of this movement. The sure fire way to fight off this cancer is early screening and diagnosis. .........By Sadia Hossain.

Breast cancer is cancer arising in breast tissue. cancer being a group of abnormal cells haveing an abnormal growth pattern. it is primarily, a disease prevalent among women, however 1% of breast cancer patients are men, 1 in 8 women (12%) will contract breast cancer in their lifetime and , according to WHO, breast cancer is the second biggest cause of death among women.

an international breast cancer awareness month observance programme was conducted by the Ahsania Mission Cancer Hospital in Mirpur last month and free consulting and cheaper rates for surgery and treatment were on offer at the hospital throughout the month.

Approximately 35,000 women contract breast cancer every year in Bangladesh and deaths due to breast cancer amounts to 16 percent of all cancer affected women.

Cancer specialist, professor Mahbubul Alam, has said that around three fourths of women above the age of 50 contract breast cancer in Bangladesh.

There is no cancer registry in the country and the only insight into the cancer statistics comes from hospital-based and population based registry systems.

The majority of Bangladeshi women neglect breast cancer signs and never seek treatment because of the existing social stigma regarding treatment of a sensitive body part, A lack of knowledge and scarcity of clinics are responsible for women’s negligence.

Step : 1 --- Early Detection :
cancer in its preliminary stages usually has no symptoms and does not cause pain in the breasts. But as the cancer grow, the following symptoms may be visible :

For pre-menopausal women, a lump (or chaka) in the breast or underarm usually appears after the menstrual cycle.

Note : Inpre-menopausal women, 1 in 12 lumps are found to be malignant but it is still a good idea to get a mammogram in addition to consulting a doctor.
Mammograms will detect a lump even if there are no visible signs on the breast. For post-menopausal women, whose breasts are not subject to change due to a cycle, the possibility of malignancy is 1 in 2 cases.

Swelling in the armpit.

Lumps are usually painless, but a sensation of pain or converse tenderness in the breast.
In version of the nipples.

Itchy and scaly skin around the nipple and areola is an example of the very rare form of breast cancer, pager’s disease.

A discharge of a bloody, clear or any other colour fluid.

NOTE : this may also be caused by non-cancerous issues.

any area either noticeable flat, or a change in the size and shape of the breast.

Universal Children’s Day :


How many of us take a bit of time out of our demanding schedules to think about those less fortunate ? How many of us take the initiative to improve life for those people ? For those of us that are eager to help out but don’t know how, JAAGO Foundation provides a great guideline. JAAGO Foundation supplies many underprivileged and poverty stricken children with hope of a better future.

Founded in April 2007 by Mr. Korvi Rakshand, JAAGO has come a long way in these three years. The first project taken on by the foundation was to distribute relief to the 2007 flood victims in Rayer Bazaar, Dhaka. After seeing the appalling living conditions of the children residing in the Rayer Bazaar slums, the JAAGO team formed the idea for their first life-size project: A free of cost English medium school for the children of the Rayer Bazaar area. That programme remains the principle guiding factor of the foundation. At present there are 280 lucky students reaping the benefits of the institution. English was the chosen medium of instruction for the school as learning to communicate in the international language will create a more concrete base for their futures.

The organization has come up with a number of development projects focusing on the sectors of formal education, non-formal education, health & nutrition, public/private health sector development, skill development training, women’s empowerment, information technology, environmental management and so on. At JAAGO, they understand that education is not the only stepping stone needed to build a better society.

Having already brought about such positive results since its inception, you may wonder what JAAGO’s plans for the future are. JAAGO Foundation intends to have a fully operational branch in every district of Bangladesh, to help as many children as possible.... ‘As a young adult of this generation, I can’t turn away from the millions of faces that stare at me blankly, Blank as they have stopped hoping for a better future, stopped asking for an extra meal and stopped expecting anything from the world anymore,’ says Korvi. Such passion and care to reach out to the children is the driving force of the foundation, cementing the idea that the institution will continue to grow.


JAAGO Foundation currently has three Major Sources of Funds :

Child sponsorship, project/program sponsorship and Donation. A monthly amount of BDT 1,000 is collected from each of the 200 sponsors for the 200 children under the child sponsorship program.

The organization also manages to receive project/program sponsorships from various corporate parties. In addition, the members of JAAGO give donations from time to time. These funds, along with voluntary donations from individuals, constitute of the total funding of the organization.

(If you are interested in sponsoring the Universal Children’s Day event or making donation, simply write your name/affiliation, medium of donation, event to which you would like to contribute and email it to (info@jaago.com.bd)

Universal Children’s Day is still an obscure celebration in Bangladesh. However, each year JAAGO create waves of awareness with their massive Universal Children’s Day programme. This year, they will have 1000 volunteers and 1000 street children involved that is double the amount of last year.

Scores of volunteers are recruited to switch lives with the poor street urchins that roam the streets of Bangladesh. For one day, these children are taken off the streets to have a fun day with JAAGO volunteers. They are entrained, fed and taken care of. On this same day, hundreds of volunteers disperse onto the busy streets, armed with flowers, cotter candy, popcorn and good will.

Home in the Global Village :

Welcome home. The immigration official smiled up at me as he handed my passport back. Just those two words and a smile. He did not ask me any of the questions to which I had prepared answers to in my head during my airplane's descent into Chieago's O'Hare Airport. While grabbing my luggage, I was further welcomed y a dozen smiles, and greetings of how ya doing? then the cherry on top. heart rending shout of Baba, Baba, Daddy, Daddy! from my little man, a whirling dervish of madcap hair, long eyelashes, missing tooth, hugs kisses, and manic energy pouring forth in a burst of stories and plans games to be played, books to be read, places to be visited. As I took my wife in my arms and was greeted by the warmth of my mom-in-law, it hit me ..... I was home !

since my move to Dhaka, and my wife and son's continued transition to life in Dhaka (with extended breaks in Wisconsin), I would often trip over statements referring to my life back home. When talking about he US, or 'coming back home' when somehow did not feel comfortable with referring to both places as 'home'' I had fallen victim to a particular emotion when thinking of America that  seems to only affect liberals, especially ones who look at America from outside its borders a sense of disillusionment, a feeling akin to unrequited love (where the object of the love not only rejects the love, but also all of the values of the lover). Like reports in newspaper and friends' blogs about the rightward shift in American politics since the enthusiasm generated on the left by Obama's election. I have been deeply distrbed by the Islamophobia that seems to have risen to the surface at the prodding of the park 51 controversy in NewYourk. I continue to be bemused by the irrationality country is heading (and whose falt it is as to why we are here). Every newspaper opinion piece, dinner conversation and online discussion seemed to focus on all that ails America, making my detachment from America all that much easier. By the time I boarded my airplane in Dhaka, I was thinking of America as the 'other'. 

However, all that started changing after hearing the first shout of 'Baba! My change in perception has continued in my last few days in Wisconsin as I have been reminded why I love home. Coming home to America, my country which has succored me my whole adult life, educatied me., trained me, helped me find my place in this workd and picked me up when I feel, has wiped out all the doubts, the feelings of disillusionment and of unrequited love, which I have felt while I was away for the last couple of years. 

Breakfast every morning of oatmeal, brown bread and fruits with my family while watching the morning sun stoke the autumn leaves golden. walks by the river in the cool day while breathing out steam, visits to my son's school and eating lunch with his classmates, driving fast on the highway and singing to old songs on the radio with my wife and son, laughing with old friends, with the joy and laughter wiping away the years in between. I am again amazed (like I was when I first landed on these shores 22years ago) at hte courtesy and affability of strangers, the diversity and energy that is present everywhere I go and that seems tobelie all of the pundits who are ringing the death knell of the great American experiment. 

Home is where my son and my wife were born. home is a place which resonates with 'yes'and 'can do' where 'impossible' becomes 'i.m.possible': home is where my mon-in-law is my son's best friend and greates teacher. home is where I looked into my wife's eyes 20years ago and vowed to celebrate with her through times of illumination and love, and support her during darkness and turmoil, and bewith her until death. home is wheremy friends are home is where I will vote on November 3th and hop onto to a planne to fly home that very day. Home is wisconsin, America.

Home is where I was born I was born. home is where my ancestors are buried home is where my mother relished the food she feeds me, and bestows on me her blessings by softly blowing on my head after her prayers. home is where my son's "dadaumoni" is waiting to help him grow, where his cousins are there to help him feel he is part of something bigger. home is where my friends are home is where I go back to work on November 4th. Home is Dhaka, Bangladesh.

Mind / Body Connection : Continue.......:


Given below is and overview of a study conducted by John Hopkins University on some common mood disorder related conditions :
 
Heart Diseases :
People who suffer from depression after experiencing an attack, risk a second one. On the other hand people who generally stay depressed increase the risk of suffering from a heart attack or even dying from a heart disease.






Headache :
Tension headaches which become chronic occur frequently on people with anxiety and depression. They are usually caused by the contractiion of the muscles in the scalp and neck a common physical reaction when one is under emotional stress.








Constipation or Diarrhoea :
www.springerimages.com
Anxiety is often linked with IBS(Irritable Bowel Syndrome) which mainfests itself as diarrhoea or constipation. According to many experts 60% of those have generalised anxiety may make you more aware of spasms in your colon or that anxiety affects the immune system and may trigger symptoms of IBS.







Vomiting and Nausea :
www.archive.student.bmj.com
Nausea and vomiting are also considered as symptoms of mood disorder. According to a study, among the people who had major complaints of nausea, 41 percent were diagnosed with anxiety disorder and 24 percent of them with depression.









Osteoporosis :
www.infolongtermcare.org
One theory is that people with major depression have lower bone mineral density, a measure of the strengh of your bones, than those with no mood disorders. It is also said that is that depression may cause increased levels of a neurotransmitter that interferes with bone building. Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are associated with increased fracture risk, but there’s growing evidence that depression itself may put bones at risk.







High blood pressure :
www.adam.about.net
There is evidence that chronic anxiety may lead to high blood pressure. Anxiety is likely to produce temporary spikes in blood pressure rather than presistent hypertension. Frequent spikes can damage your bolld vessels, heart and kidneys and increase your risk of a stroke.








We usually taker our mental health for granted. But the fact is that it requires effort to build and maintain both mental and physical health, because both the mind and the body are closely linked. The ore time and energy we can invest in our mental and emotional health, the stronger we will be and the better prepared to deal with difficult and challenging situations. this means a good mental health promotes a health body, which again can be done by leading a healthy and positive lifestyle!
