The prostate is a gland that becomes a part of the male reproductive system. Basically, the function of the prostate gland is to store and produce a clear, liquid substance that makes up to a third of the volume of semen. It also bathes the sperm and thus provides the necessary nourishment so the sperm is able to swim. The prostate gland also has several smooth muscles that will help you to expel semen during ejaculation. The location of the prostate gland is below the bladder, surrounds the urethra, an organ used to empty the bladder, and it is also located directly in front of the rectum, which make it accessible to be palpitated through the rectum.

If you have a buildup of prostate fluid without ejaculation during prolonged sexual stimulation, you will experience a painful condition. This condition can be simply resolved with ejaculation or, as common wisdom has showed many times, a cold shower. If you consume too much alcohol and experience sexual activities that lead to similar condition, the buildup of prostate fluid can be so great, which will cause the prostate to swell. This swelling can make you experiencing problems like frequent urination due to the constant pressure on the bladder.

Male hormones are essential so the prostate gland can work properly. These male hormones are responsible for human to develop his male sex characteristics. The main male hormone is testosterone and it is produced mainly by the testicles while a small amount of male hormones are also produced by the adrenal glands.

Regular checkup is essential

The prostate gland is important and thus it is necessary for each man to visit a doctor regularly to check out the condition of the prostate gland. In this case, the doctor will be able to keep an eye on the condition of the prostate and let you know if there is a problem related with your prostate that can be harmful and dangerous.

Prostate cancer is one of the most common types of cancer and this fact gives more support about the necessity of each man to get regular checkup. This is a wise move to keep your body healthy and to make sure that there is no problem arisen in regards to your prostate condition. By simply maintaining this habit of regular checkup, you can combat any problem related to the prostate before it develops into a more severe condition. Obviously you should also make sure that the doctor is qualified to make judgmental opinions concerning your prostate condition.

If you find out that you are in fact suffering from prostate cancer, there are several effective treatments available to overcome the condition. Medical technology has developed rapidly and with proper treatments, you have a good chance to get back to your old self again. You should always think positively and believe in yourself that you can defeat this problem. You should realize that as long as you keep fighting on, there is a high probability that you will come out as the winner.

Prostate massage

Sometimes prostate massage is essential as a treatment for some diseases of the prostate, especially for chronic prostatitis or the inflammation of the prostate gland. Similar as a digital rectal examination, prostate massage requires a finger inserted into the rectum to massage the prostate with light stimulation, no more than the amount of pressure used to rub your eye. Prostate massage will result in a discharge of prostate fluid with or without an ejaculation or orgasm.

Prostate stimulation

The male prostate is sometimes called the male G spot. It is a highly sexual and often overlooked spot on the male body. When it is massaged internally, the prostate can induce an explosive orgasm that is both pleasurable and exhilarating. You should always understand that enjoying anal stimulation does not indicate your sexual orientation. It never means that you are a homosexual if you are enjoying the feeling when your prostate is being stimulated. Only a few people have explored this sexual area and with a little time and practice, prostate stimulation can give explosive results that you will enjoy.

You can start exploring the prostate by finding a water-based lubricant. You can apply the lubricant onto your index finger which will ease its insertion to your anus. In the beginning, you may want to start with rubbing or massaging the prostate externally or allowing several small strokes to create excitement and an erection. Then, you can work your way to the anus and begin massage the prostate internally.

Bomb in Dagestan explodes Russian military truck

Friday, September 2, 2005

An explosion today in Makhachkala, Russia in the Russian region of Dagestan killed one and wounded five others, police say. The bomb detonated in a pile of garbage, where servicemen and a truck had been sent to search for explosives on a street near a military base. When the engineers got out of the truck to search, the bomb went off.

The Dagestani Ministry, reported by the Russian news agency ITAR-Tass, originally stated that the blast killed two servicemen and wounded three others. They later revised this to six servicemen wounded (as well as one civilian), but no fatalities. A police officer told ITAR-Tass news that a brigade had been on patrol when the explosion occurred.

According to RIA-Novosti and Interfax news, medics reported one death and six injuries. RIA-Novosti also reports that the bomb exploded near a trolley bus.

Police and ambulances were immediately brought to the area of the explosion, which was quickly sealed off by police.

The alleged planters of the bomb were followed by police, but escaped after firing at the officers.

This explosion is not surprising, as racial tensions in the Muslim majority region of Dagestan often lead to attacks on officials and police.

Wikinews interviews Ritchie Lai of NBA Asia about the gaming industry

Monday, December 24, 2007

Sporting games are more popular with younger gamers and sporting people with a conjunction from two industries, between sporting and gaming. Although games from the NBA series are not the official games of the World Cyber Games, but with fashions of the NBA, and PC gaming population having a stable scale, the NBA game series attracted not only basketball and game fans but also sporting and gaming media world-wide, and its market was progressively expanded from America and Europe to Asia and other countries.

With those issues in mind, Wikinews Reporter Rico Shen briefly interviewed Event Director of NBA Asia Corporation Ritchie Lai about the sports gaming market developments at the NBA 2K8 Asia Championship Taiwan Qualifier.

Challenges And Solutions For Medical Imaging Bandwidth Requirements

Challenges And Solutions For Medical Imaging Bandwidth Requirements

by

Michael Lemm

A Picture Archiving and Communications System (PACS) is integral to the smooth, timely, and quality delivery of health care in every medical setting today. Not only are they integral but they are crucial to the clinical and business aspects of radiology practice as we know it. However, PACS have long faced challenges in delivering this digital imaging support to such diagnostic modalities as X-ray, ultrasound, computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging [MRI], Positron Emission Tomography (PET), and Teleradiology. The main issue has always been the availability of sufficient bandwidth (load and speed)…..at a reasonable cost…..to support the growing demand for quick easy web-based access by medical providers. As Medical Imagery becomes more and more digitalized….with bandwidth improvements, communication will be faster and easier, and it will be possible to transmit heavier studies in less time and with high quality.

An internal (facility owned) PACS leverages a common infrastructure for all the digital imaging modalities and provides image storage and archiving….with recall as needed….for an entire medical facility or campus. By instituting a web enabled distribution system a facility PACS is able to provide ready image access to the immediate radiology department as well as the full range of clinicians and specialists, especially surgeons and referring physicians. To ensure functionality at the high level required means facing the heavy bandwidth appetite of the modalities supported.

Even an Application Service Provider (ASP) company that hosts applications, manages them and rents access to images from a centrally managed facility is not immune to the bandwidth concern. ASP providers allow an institution to outsource information technology applications infrastructure, management, support and maintenance. As defined by the ASP Industry Consortium, ASP service is designed to deliver and manage applications and computer services from remote data centres to multiple users via the Internet or a private network. therein lies they’re challenge….a high bandwidth requirement delivered over often a subtantial difference on an on-demand basis.

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wBJJUWt47rk[/youtube]

PACS manufacturers have developed numerous solutions to get around the bandwidth problem. They’ve compressed images, supported standard network interfaces and protocols such as Ethernet and TCP/IP, and deployed local area networks (LANs) with high bandwidths to link hospitals or referring physicians in a contained environment. But how do they handle bandwidth when institutions are separated by tens or hundreds of miles, especially since images have become larger and more complicated?

Some PACS vendors rely on the communications infrastructure in an area, which varies with the bandwidth that is available from the local telephone company and the price a hospital is willing to pay, said Frederick Wagner, manager of PACS for Toshiba. Other PACS providers offer streaming technology that transports high-quality images in real time over any bandwidth, including telephone lines and enterprise-wide LANs.

Another contributing solution is a technology called Pixels-on-Demand by Real Time Media. This technology speeds processing by capturing images from archives or PACS storage without waiting for preprocessing, immediately streams data from selected regions of interest, and delivers the most visually important features of an image to the viewer first.

The underlying solution to the bandwidth issue goes beyond even system technologies, network interfaces, image compression, and infrastructure protocols. It lies with the provision of the appropriate bandwidth capacity (circuits)….at a reasonable cost….via leveraging the fiber-optic infrastructure available throughout the United States. Enabling direct fiber-optic connectivity internally, or between hospitals and distant data centers, is the most cost-effective application of bandwidth. Use of Optical Carrier (Sonet Ring) bandwidth (likely OC3 or OC48) or Gigabit Ethernet allows a medical facility to optimize it’s Local Area Network (LAN). While ASP organizations can scale their application service provider (ASP) service to small imaging centers as well as large, far-flung health systems.

To find a fiber optic infrastructure provider which can deliver the right bandwidth solution for your medical imaging application…..I strongly recommend that you take advantage of the free consultation available from an independent bandwidth broker such as DS3-Bandwidth.com.

SpaceX scrubs Falcon I rocket launch

Monday, November 28, 2005

SpaceX called off the much-delayed inaugural launch of their new Falcon 1 rocket on Saturday from Kwajalein’s Omelek Island launch site. The intent was to launch the U.S. Air Force Academy’s FalconSat 2 satellite, which will monitor plasma interactions with the Earth’s upper atmosphere and magnetosphere.

The launch was delayed, then finally cancelled after an oxygen boil-off vent had accidentally been left open. The oxygen was unable to cool the helium pressurant, which then proceeded to evaporate faster than it could be replenished. A main computer issue, probably serious enough to cause a scrub on its own, was also discovered.

This long-anticipated flight was originally expected to be launched in January 2005, however a series of setbacks forced a series of delays, with the flight most recently scheduled to be in early 2006. It was intended to be launched from the Kwajalein atoll in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.

The maiden voyage was originally intended to launch from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California with a Naval Research Laboratory satellite and a Space Services Incorporated space burial payload.

Family seeks prosecution over loss of UK Nimrod jet in Afghanistan

Tuesday, November 17, 2009

Following a new report into the loss of a Nimrod jet belonging to the UK’s Royal Air Force over Afghanistan the family of one of the victims is seeking a criminal prosecution. Sergeant Ben Knight, aged 25, was among the fourteen killed when Nimrod XV230 crashed in 2006.

Knight’s parents have applied via their lawyers Smithfield Partners to the Crown Prosecution Service to consider evidence contained in a report by Charles Haddon-Cave QC, who is due to appear before the House of Commons next month. The Loss Of RAF Nimrod XV230, A Failure Of Leadership, Culture And Priorities stated that the accident was preventable and that the Ministry of Defence (MoD) made spending cuts a priority over safety. A 2005 review into Nimrod safety was “riddled with errors,” the report found.

Smithfield Partners have also written to the Health and Safety Executive, asking for the MoD to be investigated for breaches of the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974. The letter was addressed directly to deputy chief executive Kevin Myres.

XV230 had shortly completed air-to-air refueling on September 2, 2006, when it was destroyed by an explosion. “We had a 25-year-old healthy son, who used to play squash and, to put it bluntly, he ended up as a plastic bag full of bits,” said Graham Knight. “That is something which is very hard to cope with.”

The Knights met Armed Forces Minister Bill Rammell in London yesterday. Rammell said he was unable to comment on possible legal action against individuals, but promised to provide answers to other questions posed by the Knights and other families. The Crown Prosecution Service has promised consider the matter, and the Health and Safety Executive said it could not comment this early on in developments. The latest report names five people in the MoD, three with BAE Systems and two with defence company QinetiQ, as responsible.
