Although treatments for breast cancer have progressed rapidly, treatment for these secondary complaints has only recently been compared.

There are several physical options available for the management of these secondary issues involving breast cancer survivors.

The researchers compared aerobic and weight training and found weight training produced better results.

Tetsuya Ohira, M.D.

of the Division of Epidemiology and Community Health at the University of Minnesota and colleagues found that weight training improved the women's overall physical and psychosocial quality of life score and global psychological scores compared with controls.

They found significant improvements in body mass and upper body strength.

Evidently this had the greatest impact on symptoms.

A recent study of the effect of aerobic exercise on quality of life among recently treated breast cancer survivors showed to positively affect only half the number of survivors as the six months of strength training.

The strength / weight training study involved eighty-six women within 36 months of treatment, who were assigned either a weight training exercise program or no treatment.

This was the first study to evaluate weight training and its effect on quality of life among breast cancer survivors.

"Changes in body composition and strength," conclude the authors, may empower these women with "a sense of return to feeling in control of their bodies that may translate into feeling gre...

On Monday, militants in Nigeria's oil-rich southern delta released their last remaining foreign hostages - two Americans and one Briton - more than five weeks after the oil-industry workers were kidnapped.

The militants took nine foreign oil workers hostage Feb.

On Saturday, they said they killed three soldiers in fresh clashes near a key natural gas plant run by Shell.

Shell said there was no impact on the gas plant.

Vienna's PVM Oil Associates suggested the releases were not enough to remove concerns about Nigeria, noting: "With the latest outage, almost 640,000 barrels a day of Nigerian upstream capacity are shut, which is more than a fourth of the country's total." Iran, the No.

Gatt and his officers ask us to move on.

“We’re running out of time,” they said as we boarded the coach to continue the tour to the so-called Warehouse 1 and Warehouse 2 in the same Safi barracks, which were in fact originally built to be used as army warehouses but turned overnight into immigrants’ detention centres last year as boatload after boatload of immigrants landed on Maltese shores with nowhere to lock them up.

Along the way, we pass through a cluster of abandoned Nissan huts made of corrugated iron, where migrants were detained in the scorching summer heat and cold winters before they were moved to the converted warehouses.

Outside the warehouses, South Africans and Arabs kept pacing nervously along what looks like a kennel run.

One of them tells me he is from Iraq and claims to have been detained for 19 months.

He says he has no...
