Biology  - characteristic life processes and phenomena of living organisms  Here's the deal, I was doing the Pre-lab questions for tomorrow, and I was reading about ants. They somehow made me think of __The Magic School Bus__ and the show about ants. It's actually really cool! Even if it's very simple!!

Skirts grew heavier and wider in the 16th century, where a woman's small waist meant wealth and rank. In the Europe and America, in the 19th century, corsets were very popular. The perfect waist measured 18-19 inches in circumference.

Girls started wearing corsets around the age of 14. After years of pulling the corsets tighter, they dislocated internal organs- constricting the lungs and heart, putting pressure on the liver, pushing the stomach up, squeezing the sall intestines and compressing the bladder. Everything shifted either up or down, leaving the waist empty. Women who wore corsets could not sit down straight, fainted easily, had heart ailment and digestion problems, and they could die in childbirth. Unknown, (?). Body Bytes.

Neck rings push the collarbone and ribs down and stretch the neck muscles several inches. The stretching of the muscles takes several years. The neck stretching is mostly illusory, since the weight of the rings twist the collar bone and eve  <span style="color: rgb(56,14,78);"><span style="color: rgb(116,179,5);"><span style="color: rgb(107,153,11);">ntually the upper ribs to create the illusion of an elongated neck. The vertebrae do not elongate. In advanced stages, the forces can cause trauma, such as occlusion of venous flow or hematoma (internal bleeding).

People who have been wearing the neck rings for many years may suffer difficulties with the neck muscles and pain from the weight of the rings. The area beneath neck rings may become infected if it is left unwashed. To have the neck rings removed, individuals can go to a hospital and have them taken off. Afterward, the patient must wait several months for their neck muscles to recover. In some cases, the muscles have become so weak that she can choke to death on her own tongue if support is not provided. The deformation of the bone structure recovers only minimally after ring removal.

Families passed the tradition down. A long neck was a way to attract good husbands. Today, women sometimes wear rings to attract tourists and make money.

<span style="color: rgb(149,15,219);"><span style="color: rgb(249,26,26);">Cell Phones: **__ <span style="color: rgb(119,19,19);">Have you ever thought of there being a downside to cell phones?

A review of 18 studies of cell phones and brain tumors, published in Occupational Environmental Medicine in 2007 by Hardell and his colleagues, concluded that studies of individuals using cell phones for more than 10 years "__give a consistent pattern of an increased risk for acoustic neuroma and glioma__" with the risk being highest for a tumor on the same side of the head that the phone is used. Gliomas are the most common cancerous brain tumor and acoustic neuromas are benign tumors of the acoustic nerve. The studies were conducted in the United States, Sweden, Finland, the U.K., Germany, and Japan.

A review of the above studies and dozens of others was recently completed by Vini Khurana, an Australian neurosurgeon. He concluded that heavy cell phone use can result in a doubling to quadrupling of the risk of brain tumors in users.

There are no studies of adults who used cell phones extensively as children and adolescents. Now that many children use cell phones, such studies are needed to determine whether children might be more vulnerable to radiation exposure than adults. Researchers also warn that the effects will be compounded in children and teenagers as they have started using cell phones earlier than adults and will continue to use them for longer.

While studies of adults have focused on cancer, a study published in the medical journal //Epidemiology// in July 2008 suggests that cell phone exposure could affect children's behavior. The children in the study who were hyperactive or had emotional or behavioral problems, including trouble getting along with other kids were much more likely to have mothers who used cell phones during pregnancy. The children's problems, as reported by their mothers, were even more pronounced for children whose mothers used cell phones both during pregnancy and during their children's first seven years of life. The children of these mothers were 80% more likely to have problems than children whose mothers rarely or didn't use cell phones.

These results, based on a survey of Danish mothers, whose 13,159 children turned 7 in 2005 and 2006, are troubling but also somewhat difficult to interpret. While the levels of radiation the children experienced because of their mothers' use were likely very small, we also know from a study published in the July 7 issue of //Physics in Medicine and Biology//, that the brains of children under 8 absorb twice as much radiation from cell phones as do adults. On the other hand, if mothers using cell phones are paying less attention to their children, that could also contribute to children's behavioral problems. Research that provides more details of cell phone usage and other factors is needed to interpret the relationship between a mother's cell phone use and her child's behavior, but meanwhile pregnant women and mothers of young children should consider limiting their use of cell phones.
