Over a five-year period, the survival rate for stage 4 breast cancer is approximately 22 percent. As it currently stands, there is no cure for stage 4...

Atrial fibrillation (Afib) is a common condition affecting a huge percentage of the population. The condition causes fast and erratic heartbeat involving the upper chamber of the heart. Statistically, people with this condition are five times more likely to have a stroke. This is because Afib interferes with the blood flow in the heart chamber which leads to blood clots. If clots form in the heart, they can travel through the blood vessels to anywhere else in the body. If one lodges itself somewhere in a small...

Skin dimples around...

In the United States, 1 in every 8 women is at risk of developing metastatic breast cancer or a form of invasive breast cancer at some point in their life. Invasive breast cancer generally originates in the breast ducts or glands, eventually spreading into the breast tissue as well. It can even spread into the lymph nodes surrounding the breast tissue and advance beyond. Beyond the lymph nodes, breast cancer can also spread to other parts of the body, and this usually occurs in...
