9 deaths and rare cancer associated with breast implants has been reported in the US

The US Food and Drug Administration confirms that Nine deaths have been reported stemming from a rare cancer that is associated with breast implants. The extremely rare cancer, called anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) affects cells in the immune system and can be found around the breast implant. It can be found in the skin or lymph nodes, and is not a type of breast cancer.

The FDA says "all of the information to date suggests that women with breast implants have a very low but increased risk of developing ALCL compared to women who do not have breast implants". Yesterday, the FDA issued an update on its understanding of breast implant-associated ALCL cases. The agency has received 359 reports of possible breast implant-associated cancer cases as of February 1.

But the exact number of cases "remains difficult to determine due to significant limitations in world-wide reporting and lack of global implant sales data,". Breast implants is the top cosmetic surgery performed in the US with 290,467 procedures in 2016.

The 21 happiest countries in the world

Having money doesn't hurt.

In a dispatch called the World Happiness Report, an initiative of the UN's Sustainable Development Solutions Network, a group of independent experts including economist Jeffrey Sachs surveyed people in 156 countries to find out how highly they evaluated their lives on a scale from 0-10.

The report took into account several factors, of which 6 were found to be the most important:

• Real GDP per capita
• Healthy life expectancy at birth
• Freedom to make life choices
• Generosity
• Perceptions of corruption

Brussels plans to mark the anniversary of 2016 terror attacks with a 'minute of noise'

Belgium this week marks the first anniversary of the Brussels airport and metro bombings with ceremonies showing the heart of Europe is still beating despite the country's worst ever attacks.

Applause is set to ring out during a "minute of noise" on Wednesday as trains, trams and buses halt to remember the 32 people killed and more than 320 injured in the attacks claimed by the Islamic State (IS) group.

Belgium remains on high alert with troops patrolling the streets a year after the blasts, carried out by a network that investigators say was also behind the November 2015 Paris attacks.

"Our country is safer now," Interior Minister Jan Jambon told AFP in an interview, while warning that there was still a threat that battle-hardened jihadists fleeing the Islamic State's last stand in Syria could come home to Belgium.

The ceremonies start at Zaventem Airport where King Philippe and Queen Mathilde will lead victims, family members and rescuers in a service of remembrance for the 16 people killed there by suicide bombers Ibrahim El Bakraoui and Najim Laachraoui at 7:58 am on March 22, 2016.

Men get the bedroom blues too: Study finds both genders can suffer 'post-coital dysphoria' for hours after having sex

They have a reputation for nodding off afterwards – and now it seems making love can make some men depressed, too.

In fact, they can become so sad and emotional that they suffer ‘post-coital dysphoria’ (PCD), according to a report.

Until now it was assumed only women suffer PCD, with nearly half reporting feelings of sadness, anxiety and tearfulness at some point. 

But in recent years doctors have heard complaints from male patients that they can go into deep depression and feel achy and irritable for hours after sex.

The report’s author, Professor Robert Schweitzer, of Queensland University of Technology in Australia, has studied data from both genders, and says PCD is ‘not uncommon’ in men.

He said: ‘There are a wide range of responses in the period of time immediately following sexual activity, known as the “resolution phase”.

A BRIEF MOMENT WITH MIGOS

“If you know yo’ mama in the building, cause my mama in the building, can I get a ‘Mama!’?” Quavo commands, taking his place on the hardwood alongside Offset and Takeoff as they launch into their third song in a post-game performance.

Atlanta’s Hawks have just suffered a 12-point loss to the Memphis Grizzlies, but no one really seems to notice.

The spotlight, both literally and figuratively, is settled on a certain trio from the North (read: Nawf) side right now.

“I said if you love your mama like the Migos love they mama, cause my mama in the building,” he cries out once more. “Can I get a ‘Mama!’?”

Faithfully, the crowd surrounding them responds with a healthy ‘Mama!’, and I’m sure you know what comes next.

Migos are hometown heroes. I simply won’t debate it.

Currently navigating a wave that’s been eight years in the making, molding themselves into a household name is a feat that’s been a long time coming for the trio.

It’s no secret where Quavo, Offset, and Takeoff call home. They’d never let you forget it. And, in an amusing encounter, those roots radiated.

George Michael 'knew his days were numbered and wanted to get his affairs in order' claims medic who treated the singer just weeks before his death

George Michael knew his 'days were numbered' and was ready to get his affairs in order, his medic of 30 years has claimed.

Simeon Niel-Asher treated George, 53, at his Highgate mansion in north London just three weeks before his death.

The osteopath insisted the singer was in 'good spirits' at their last meeting, but seemed to be keen to get 'everything in order'.

'When I last saw him he was in good spirits. We had a really weird conversation, it was interesting and it was strange,' he told The Sunday Mirror.

'Sometimes people know they are going to die and they get everything in order. I wonder if there was a bit of that going on, like he somehow knew.'

Niel-Asher, who was introduced to George by Spandau Ballet's Martin Kemp in the 1980s, added that he teased the singer about his weight.

'He kind of reminded me a bit of Elvis before he died, you know? He got really big. I said to George, 'Have you got any peanut butter and jelly sandwiches?' he recalled.

How does broccoli help prevent cancer? Study sheds light

Researchers from Oregon State University (OSU) found that sulforaphane reduced the expression of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) in prostate cancer cells, which disrupted the cells' ability to form colonies - a hallmark of metastatic cancer.

Previously believed to be "junk DNA" with no significant function, lncRNAs have increasingly emerged as key players in the development of numerous cancers, including prostate, breast, stomach, and lung cancers.

Studies have suggested that lncRNAs can regulate gene expression - the process by which genes are switched on or off in order to do their jobs. When lncRNAs become dysregulated, it is believed that they can fuel disease development.

Not only does the new study provide further evidence of the role lncRNAs play in cancer, but it supports previous research hailing the anticancer effects of sulforaphane.
