SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY

Breast Cancer Detection: Safer, Faster, Better

Main Idea
New

technologies help in detecting early stage of

breast cancer

Supporting Details

Todays mammograms can reveal suspicious clumps of

cells as small as two millimetres in diameter

Digital mammography images could be transmitted

over
telephone
lines,
making
long-distance
consultations possible.

Even more promising, a digital mammogram lends

itself to computer-aided diagnosis.

This technique helps determine whether a lump is

something to worry about or, as is usually the case,
simply a cyst or other benign mass.

Why You Need a Good Nights Sleep?

Main Idea

The benefits of having enough hours of sleeping to

our body.

Supporting Details

While youre sleeping, your brain and body dont just shut
down. Internal organs and processes are hard at work
throughout the night.

Sleep services all aspects of our body in one way or another:

molecular, energy balance, as well as intellectual function,
alertness and mood.

Sleep helps you think more clearly, have quicker reflexes and
focus better.

But sleep isnt just essential for the brain. Sleep affects almost
every tissue in our bodies.

It affects growth and stress hormones, our immune

system, appetite, breathing, blood pressure and
cardiovascular health.

Research shows that lack of sleep increases the risk

for obesity, heart disease and infections.

Good sleep is critical to your health. To make each

day a safe, productive one, take steps to make sure
you regularly get a good nights sleep.
