First, no matter what you're making, think of throwing some vegetables in with the main course. If you're making spaghetti sauce, throw some bell peppers, onions, carrots, and fresh tomatoes in with the sauce. If you like, you can also add mushrooms, garlic, or other vegetables you enjoy. Bell peppers, mushrooms, and onions give sauce a great new flavor. Carrots can hardly be tasted! And if you don't like carrots very much, boil them and puree them before adding them to the sauce. You won't taste them, but you'll get their nutrition!

The heart lies within the pericardium, which is attached to the walls of the great vessels and to the diaphragm. The pericardiumcan be visualized best as a bag into which the heart has beenplaced apex first. The inner layer, in direct contact with theheart, is the visceral epicardium, which encases the heart andextends several centimeters back onto the walls of the greatvessels. The outer layer forms the parietal pericardium, whichlines the inner surface of the tough fibrous pericardial sack. A thin film of lubricating fluid lies within the pericardial cavity between the two serous layers. Two identifiable recesses lie within the pericardium and are lined by the serous layer. The first is the transverse sinus, which is delineated anteriorly by the posterior surface of the aorta and pulmonary trunk andposteriorly by the anterior surface of the interatrial groove. The second is the oblique sinus, a cul-de-sac located behind the left atrium, delineated by serous pericardial reflections from the pulmonary veins and the inferior vena cava.
Prostate cancer patients, who also suffer from heart conditions, have increased death risk if they undergo hormone therapy, revealed a study ledHormone therapy (Getty Images) |
by an Indian-origin scientist. Dr. Akash Nanda, from Boston, has found that when men with coronary artery disease-induced congestive heart failure or heart attack receive hormone therapy before or along with radiation therapy for treatment of prostate cancer, they have an associated increased risk of death. His study report says that patients with localized prostate cancer have several options available for treatment, including the use of brachytherapy (treatment in which radioactive seeds are implanted in the prostate), both as monotherapy and in conjunction with external beam radiation therapy.
