Low-dose aspirin can lower breast cancer risk, study says

Low-dose aspirin can lower breast cancer risk, study says
ISLAMABAD: Women who regularly take a low-dose aspirin had a lower risk of breast cancer, according to a latest study.
The study used data from more than 57,000 women who were part of the California Teachers Study, in the 23% of women who reported using low-dose aspirin regularly, researchers saw a 20% reduction in the risk of developing HR-positive/HER2 negative breast cancer, some of the most common forms of the disease, reported CNN health news.
The risk was inversely associated with taking a low-dose aspirin three or more times a week, compared with those women who had no regular low-dose aspirin use.
Women who took other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications such as ibuprofen did not see as much of a difference, nor did those taking a regular high-dose aspirin.
Previous studies have showed mixed results in breast cancer impact among women who took a regular high-dose aspirin.
Aspirin is already known for its potential to reduce other kinds of cancers and cancer deaths, particularly in people at risk of colorectal cancer.
US Preventive Services Task Force guidelines recommend that certain people take low-dose aspirin regularly to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease and colorectal cancer.
But not everyone can take it; for example, it's not recommended for people with bleeding diseases such as Crohn's or ulcers, as it can increase bleeding.
The research has showed that aspirin works as an aromatase inhibitor.

Breast cancer is often treated with medication that is a stronger form of aromatase inhibitor; it stops the production of estrogen, which can stimulate the growth of hormone-receptor-positive breast cancer cells.

Facebook admitted on Tuesday it did have data sharing partnerships with four Chinese companies, including the world's third largest smartphone manufacturer, Huawei, even though the company was under intense scrutiny from the United States intelligence agencies for security concerns, according to Reuters. The company said Huawei, computer company Lenovo Group, and other smartphone makers OPPO and TCL Corp were among the nearly 60 companies which received access to some user data after signing contracts with Facebook. The New York Times first reported on the practice over the weekend, prompting several members of Congress to raise concerns about the scheme since the data of users' friends could have been accessed without their full, explicit consent. Facebook dismissed those concerns and said the data access was only to allow its users to access specific account features when using mobile devices. The social media giant said more than half the partnerships with corporations hav

Haiti: Where Childbirth Is ‘Women’s War’

HINCHE, Haiti _ Rain pummeled the ragged dirt highway outside the walled compound of Midwives for Haiti. Inside the non-profit’s headquarters, a handful of staffers and volunteers on a medical mission from Florida thought they were in for the night after a long day providing care. That’s when MFH education director Cindy Siegel’s cell phone rang. It was clinical director Perrine Stock, calling from the rundown public hospital a mile away where women deliver on bare gurneys unless they bring bed sheets, buckets are their only toilets, electricity is sporadic, and the maternity ward lacks running water. A day earlier, a 26-year-old with soaring blood pressure gave birth to a very premature baby that died in delivery. A few hours later the woman suffered a seizure associated with eclampsia _ a major killer of women in Haiti. As her grieving relatives stood vigil outside the ward, her condition worsened.
