A authority on aspirating breast lumps

This article provides an in office approach for immediate evaluation of women who present to their family physician with a breast lump.

As a family physician and a GP Oncologist who specializes in breast disease, I know how important it is to quickly evaluate breast lumps and reassure women who have benign cysts, says author Dr. Ruth Heisey, WomenCollege Hospital.

Aspiration, the removal of fluid with a needle, is a fast first approach for patients with a breast lump that does not have cancerous features. The fluid removed from the lump can determine the type of lesion. This procedure, which does not need an anesthetic, can be done in a doctoroffice on women who do not have breast implants and who are not on anticoagulants.

Our suggested approach enables family physicians to follow the same evaluation pathway using needle aspiration to determine at that visit which women need referral for further investigation and which women may be reassured that their lump is benign, write the authors.

The patient should have a follow-up if the lump is a cyst or referred for further tests or possible surgery if the lump is solid.

Kids These Days: Study Exposes Generation Me

Teens currently are some-more asocial and less guileless ofinstitutions than past generations, according to a new study.

But opposite to a little claims, Generation Me isnt all about"me." Todays girl are no some-more self-centered, and only as happy andsatisfied, as their parents.

"We resolved that, some-more mostly than not, kids thesedays are about the same as they were behind in the mid-1970s," pronounced studyresearcher Brent Donnellan, join forces with highbrow of psychology at Michigan StateUniversity.

The investigate formula come on the heels of investigate showingsignificant generational gaps in workattitudes, with people innate in in between 1982 and 1999 being some-more likelythan their elders to worth camp time over work and to place a reward onrewards such as higher salaries and status.

Millennial attitudes

In the new study, Donnellan and his colleagues analyzed informationcollected on some-more than 477,000 high-school seniors from 1976 to 2006, whichwere widely separated in to four-year time periods. The interpretation came from the federallyfunded Monitoring the Future survey, that marks the behaviors, attitudes andvalues of U.S. students each year.

The researchers had participants answer dual egotismmeasurements, together with "Compared with others your age around the country,how do you rate yourself on propagandize ability?" and "How smart doyou think you are compared with others your age?" Participants rated theitems from 1 (far next average) to 7 (far on top of average). All participantsgave an normal magnitude of about 4.9, with the scores from 1976 to 1980 (babyboomers) averaging 4.9, compared with those from the 2001-2006 organisation (Millennials)rating the questions at about 4.94.

To magnitude self-esteem,questionnaires enclosed 6 equipment that students had to rate from 1 (stronglydisagree) to 5 (strongly agree). For instance, students rated "I take apositive perspective toward myself," and "On the total I am satisfiedwith myself." There was radically no self-respect disproportion betweengenerations, with participants who answered in in between 1976 and 1980 giving an averagescore of 4.08, compared with the 2001-2006 normal of 4.01 for Millennials.

The stream era indicated they are less aroused thanother generations of amicable problems such as competition relations, hunger, povertyand appetite shortages. The GenMe race additionally reported higher educationalexpectations.

Generationstereotypes

As for because there is a classify of egotistical,lazy teenagers today, Donnellan pronounced that the usual for some-more aged generations topaint girl in a disastrous light. Those who are prolonged past their girl yearsare additionally expected to dont think about what the similar to to be young, he added. So a45-year-old currently competence review behaviors of todays girl with themselves asadults, rather than a loyal age comparison.

"Kids currently are similar to they were thirty years ago theyretrying to find their place in the world, theyre perplexing to carve out anidentity, and it can be difficult," Donnellan said. "But lots ofresearch shows that the stereotypes of all groups are most some-more overdrawn thanthe reality."

Rather than generational differences, Donnellan saidresearch has shown age can be a big cause per happinesslevels and alternative mental variables.

"I be concerned about stereotyping complete generations ofpeople, that by clarification are incredibly large and extrinsic groups ofpeople, with labels," Donnellan told LiveScience. Within any bieing born cohortthere is an implausible volume of variation, he said.

The investigate will be published in the biography Perspectives onPsychological Science.

SEC sues ex-NY loan merchant over purported kickbacks

NEW YORK Tue Mar 9, 2010 4:50pm EST Related News SEC sues ex-NY loan trader over alleged kickbacksTue, Mar 9 2010

NEW YORK (Reuters) - A former stock loan trader at Morgan Stanley and Bank of America Corp in New York received well over $100,000 of cash kickbacks by steering orders to other brokerage firms, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission said in a lawsuit filed on Tuesday.

In a civil complaint filed in federal court in Brooklyn, New York, the SEC alleged that the trader, Salvatore Zangari, from March 2004 to December 2005 received the money from a Brooklyn-based finder, Clinton Management Ltd.

It said the 33-year-old Manhattan resident accepted the payments in exchange for sending orders to other brokerages that paid fees to the finder for locating securities to be borrowed and loaned.

"In total, Zangari took approximately $100,000 to $150,000 in cash kickbacks" from Anthony Lupo, a Clinton principal, the SEC said. Zangari deposited some of the payments into an account, and in January 2006 withdrew most of the $65,600 balance for a down payment on an apartment, it added.

"Zangari"s misconduct defrauded and otherwise harmed Morgan Stanley and (Bank) of America because he purposely arranged stock loan transactions on their behalf at borrowing and lending rates that were designed to generate finder fee payments rather than to maximize the firms" profits," the complaint said.

The lawsuit seeks for Zangari to give up improper gains and pay a civil fine.

Efforts to reach Zangari were unsuccessful. Lupo was not immediately available for comment, representatives of Clinton said. The SEC and Morgan Stanley did not immediately return calls for comment. Bank of America had no immediate comment.

According to the SEC, Zangari left Morgan Stanley in May 2005, worked at Bank of America from May 2005 through October 2006, and worked at UBS AG from October 2006 to July 2009.

The case is SEC v. Zangari, U.S. District Court, Eastern District of New York, No. 10-01058.

Tessa Jowells disloyal father David Mills faces prison over crime charges after Italian autarchic justice statute

Olympics minister Tessa Jowell"s estranged husband escaped a jail sentence last night after his conviction for corruption was thrown out on a technicality.

David Mills, 65, had been found guilty of accepting a $600,000 (393,000) bribe from Italian prime minister Silvio Berlusconi, in return for giving favourable evidence for him in two previous corruption trials.

He was sentenced to four and half years" jail last year and an appeal against the sentence failed last October, but last night the Italian supreme court threw out the charge.

Lawyer David Mills, 65, has had his bribery conviction quashed, meaning Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi"s similar charges are also likely to be timed out

Judges dismissed the case because they ruled that a ten-year timelimit had elapsed, making the corruption charge non-punishable.

Mr Mills said last night: "I am very relieved that this sagahas finally now come to an end and happy to be able to get back to anormal life again. I am grateful beyond words to my family and friendswho knew I was innocent and have supported me all the way through."

Mr Berlusconi"s office did not make any official comment butsources close to him said he was "satisfied" with the court"s decision.

It means Mr Mills is not guilty of accepting the money becausethe supreme court judges ruled that he received it in 1999, and not2000 as prosecutors had previously argued, so the charge had timed out.

Mr Mills was still ordered to pay 250,000 Euro (221,000)compensation to the office of the Italian prime minister for "damagingits reputation."

The ruling makes it likely that Mr Berlusconi"s trial on thesame charge, which had been suspended until tomorrow, will also betimed out.

Mr Mills, pictured at his Warwickshire home yesterday, said he was "relieved" the court case was over

Miss Jowell, 62, announced her separation from Mr Mills fouryears ago, as news of the charges against him and her close involvementin his finances emerged.

Some observers claimed it was a ploy to distance herself fromhis problems and her involvement, despite her insistence the separationwas unconnected.

Miss Jowell had signed documents for a huge loan taken out ontheir 1million home in North London - allegedly repaid shortly afterwith the bribe money.

However, she maintained she was unaware of the payment MrMills received from Mr Berlusconi, 73. A Cabinet inquiry later clearedher of wrongdoing.

Meanwhile rumours continue about the relationship between Miss Jowell and Mr Mills.

The couple sold their marital home in North London and declaredthat Mills would live in rural Warwickshire, while Miss Jowell wouldlive in Highgate, North London.

But Mills helped his supposedly estranged wife move into hernew flat, and stayed the night. There have been numerous sightings ofthe pair together socially since.

Last year a friend revealed Miss Jowell still loves herhusband "very much", spending most weekends with him and even hostingdinners for Cabinet ministers and senior Labour figures with him.

Mr Mills did not attend any of the hearings in Italy and spentthe day yesterday at his home in Warwickshire keeping in constanttelephone contact with his legal team.

Italian opposition politicians, reacted in fury to the supreme court"s decision.

Antonio Di Piero, head of Italy"s anti-sleaze Party of Values said: "This is an embarrassment.

"The crime which Mills and Berlusconi were accused of has beenproved but thanks to the usual escapology, justice has elapsed becauseof time.

"In any normal country a prime minister involved in such a case would have resigned."
