Attention turns to lymphedema after breast cancer
Washington AP reports lymphedema affects 15 to 20 percent of breast cancer patients, with about 300,000 survivors dealing daily with swelling after lymph node removal or radiation. The American Cancer Society funds certification efforts for workers and publishes guides, while urging cautious use of vaccines, blood pressure checks, and skin punctures on the affected side. Complete decongestive treatment tops recommended options, combining massage, bandaging, and compression to control fluid buildup.

Gene found linked to autism in HOXA1 mutation study
Researchers at University of Rochester and NIH-funded center report 40 percent of 57 autism patients carry a mutated HOXA1 gene, affecting early brain development. The finding, published in Teratology, suggests a single mutated copy can predispose to autism, while two mutated copies are likely lethal in utero.
