25 Breast Cancer Myths Busted

Myth: Only women with a family history of breast cancer are at risk.
Reality: Roughly 70% of women diagnosed with breast cancer have no identifiable risk factors for the disease. But the family-history risks are these: If a first-degree relative (a parent, sibling, or child) has had or has breast cancer, your risk of developing the disease approximately doubles. Having two first-degree relatives with the disease increases your risk even more.

Myth: Wearing an underwire bra increases your risk of getting breast cance
Reality: Claims that underwire bras compress the lymphatic system of the breast, causing toxins to accumulate and cause breast cancer, have been widely debunked as unscientific. The consensus is that neither the type of bra you wear nor the tightness of your underwear or other clothing has any connection to breast cancer risk.

Myth: Most breast lumps are cancerous.
Reality: Roughly 80% of lumps in women's breasts are caused by benign (noncancerous) changes, cysts, or other conditions. Doctors encourage women to report any changes at all, however, because catching breast cancer early is so beneficial. Your doctor may recommend a mammogram, ultrasound, or biopsy to determine whether a lump is cancerous.

Myth: Exposing a tumor to air during surgery causes cancer to spread.
Reality: Surgery doesn't cause breast cancer and it doesn't cause breast cancer to spread, as far as scientists can tell from the research so far.

Your doctor may find out during surgery that your cancer is more widespread than previously thought, however. And some animal studies have shown that removing the primary tumor sometimes enables metastatic cancers to grow, but only temporarily; this has not been demonstrated in humans.


Myth: Breast implants can raise your cancer risk.
Reality: Women with breast implants are at no greater risk of getting breast cancer, according to research. Standard mammograms don't always work as well on these women, however, so additional X-rays are sometimes needed to more fully examine breast tissue.

India-bound 2016 Mitsubishi Pajero Sport variant-wise Thai pricing leaked; August 1 reveal

The highly-anticipated Mitsubishi 2016 Pajero Sport will be unveiled to the world on August 1, 2015.

The GLS variant will be priced at 1.138 million Baht (INR 20.69 lakh)* and the GT variant will be priced at 1.25 million Baht (INR 22.72 lakh)*, and the top-end GT AWD variant will wear a price tag of 1.45 million Baht (INR 26.36 lakh)*. The website has also snapped a picture of the new SUV’s rear. The biggest change noticed here are the new vertically-oriented taillights, over the predecessor’s horizontally-oriented units.


*Note – Expected Thai prices mentioned
The front fascia of the 2016 Mitsubishi Pajero Sport wears the carmaker’s new ‘Dynamic Shield’ design, similar to one found on the new-gen Outlander. Other design touches include a set of sleek headlamps, aggressively styled, chrome-garnished front grille, muscular wheel arches, LED DRLs, plus blackened B- and C-pillars.


Underneath, the 2016 Mitsubishi Pajero Sport is based on the new-generation Triton pickup truck. The Japanese carmaker will likely use the Triton’s 2.4-litre turbo-diesel, four-cylinder, MIVEC engine that develops 181 PS of power and 430 Nm of twist; the powerplant will be mated to a 6-speed manual and automatic transmission. Having said that, Mitsubishi may also offer an all-new 8-speed unit with the 2016 Pajero Sport, though that remains to be seen. Concerning the AWD variants, power from the motor will be sent to all four wheels via Mitsubishi’s Super Select all-wheel drive system.

enalty amounting to $2.9 million was imposed against Triumph Motorcycles Ltd by the US Department of Transportation’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) for violating the Safety Act’s reporting requirements and also failing to respond to communications from the department.

According to the consent order, Triumph is to pay $1.4 million as a cash penalty along with $500,000 to meet requirements to improve its safety practices. If the company violates this order or if any further Safety Act violations come up, an additional $1 million will be imposed. The consent order also instructs Triumph to hire an independent consultant to audit the company’s safety practices amd provide written plans for the approval by the NHTSA regarding practices and employee training. It also requires the company to form a compliance officer position which has direct access to its board and senior executives.

“Today’s enforcement action penalizes past violations, and it promotes the proactive safety culture manufacturers must adopt if they are to reduce safety defects and identify them more quickly than they occur,” says NHTSA administrator Mark Rosekind.

This huge penalty has its roots in September 2014 when Triumph recalled more than 1,300 motorcycles to fix a defect that could reduce steering capability which increases the risk of crashing. The NHTSA started an investigation into the matter in April 2015 to know whether or not Triumph had violated the requirement to report this defect in time. It also carried out investigations into other potential violations such as neglecting to provide quarterly reports on recall completion rates and failure to file early warning data reports regarding death and injury claims, warranty data and other information.

Triumph did admit to several of these violations in response to the investigation.
