1) Does Cocoa Butter Really Help Against Stretch Marks?
[No link provided]

While carrying my first child, I've been a little worried about what my belly has in store for me when it comes to developing stretch marks! During my nightly application of cocoa butter, I wonder how it really does help prevent the development of stretch marks, or if it even works at all!
Luckily, there is proof that applying cocoa butter religiously throughout pregnancy, or any type of growth spurt or weight gain, can provide promising results. Some argue that the results aren't prominent enough, or that products like Vitamin E are more efficient, but there are some things that cocoa butter does to your skin, that can help prevent new stretch marks from showing up, or even fade ones that you already have.
The main thing that cocoa butter does, is it replenishes the levels of collagen in your skin. Collagen is a protein in or skin's tissue, and sometimes if we're lacking it, [...]

New research on mice raises hope of a better, more lasting treatment for macular degeneration, which uses
a class of drugs known as MDM2 inhibitors to regress the abnormal blood vessels responsible for the vision loss
associated with the disease.
Researchers at the University of North Carolina (UNC) School of Medicine and colleagues write about their findings
in a recent online issue of the Journal of Clinical Investigation.
Senior author Sai Chavala, assistant professor of Ophthalmology and Cell Biology & Physiology at the UNC School of
Medicine says:
"We believe we may have found an optimized treatment for macular degeneration. Our hope is that MDM2 inhibitors
would reduce the treatment burden on both patients and physicians."
Macular degeneration is an eye disease [...]

Researchers say that efforts to tackle youth obesity rates in the US may be "having some success," as a new study reveals that teenagers in the US are eating healthier, carrying out more physical activity and watching less TV.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), in 2010 more than a third of children and adolescents were overweight or obese. The "obesity epidemic," particularly in children and adolescents, has become an increasing concern, although there have been positive signs of decline.

Medical News Today recently reported that the CDC revealed rates of childhood obesity declined in 19 of 43 states and territories studied between 2008 and 2011.

Now, researchers from the University of Massachusetts [...]

A nuclear stress test is similar to the exercise stress test or pharmacological (chemical) stress test, but a small amount of radioactive substance is used to determine the health of the heart and blood flow to the heart.
The nuclear stress test can be referred to by other names, such as a thallium stress test1, myocardial perfusion scan2, or radionuclide test3.
The nuclear stress test can be done while the patient is resting or doing exercise. The radioactive substance that is injected into the patient is called a radionuclide
According to the British Heart Foundation, "Radionuclide tests are considered safe4. However, during the test you will be exposed to some radiation."

Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a surgical procedure that involves placing a neurostimulator in the brain which sends out electrical impulses to specific regions of the brain.
The electrical impulses are sent out to block abnormal signals that can cause a number of different neurological disorders.
DBS is commonly used to treat essential tremor, Parkinson's disease, and dystonia (a movement disorder in which the muscles contract and spasm).
The procedure is also being studied as a potential form of treatment for Tourette syndrome and major depression.
The DBS system is made up of three different components:
an implanted pulse generator
the lead
an extension wire
The lead (also called an electrode) is a thin insulated wire [...]

The NuvaRing is a hormonal contraceptive device for women.
The device is a flexible plastic ring which is placed into the vagina. The NuvaRing releases the hormones progestin and estrogen into the body, which prevents the ovaries from producing mature eggs.
A NuvaRing is typically worn for three weeks, after which it should be removed - to allow menstruation. A regular menstrual period will typically start within two or three days of removing the ring. After a one week break a new ring can be inserted.
NuvaRing is manufactured by the pharmaceutical giant Merck. It was first approved in Holland on February 14, 2001, and months later 14 other European Union countries approved.
On October 3, 2001, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) made [...]
