1. For men only
UF Prostate Disease Center and Greater Bethel AME Church team up to educate men on prostate health
With black men in Alachua County dying at much higher rates from prostate cancer than their white counterparts, the University of Florida Prostate Disease Center and Greater Bethel AME Church sponsored a men's health expo to make black men and women more aware of the disease.
Facts
PROSTATE CANCER SYMPTOMS
Prostate cancer that is more advanced may cause signs and symptoms such as:
* Trouble urinating.
* Decreased force in the stream of urine.
* Blood in urine.
* Blood in semen.
* Swelling in legs.
* Discomfort in pelvic area.
* Bone pain.
The 2011 Men's Health & Manpower Expo was held Saturday morning at Greater Bethel AME Church and featured presentations by Dr. Li-Ming Su, the David A. Cofrin Professor of Urology at UF, and Dr. Joseph Pugh, who is completing his residency in the UF Department of Urology.
Su discussed prostate screening, diagnoses and treatment options and Pugh discussed erectile dysfunction.
Su began his presentation by describing the prostate as the male sexual gland responsible for making nutrients and supportive fluids for sperm. He then cited statistics showing that prostate cancer is the second leading cause of cancer deaths after lung cancer in men in the U.S.
He said while white men in the U.S. have a one in six chance of getting prostate cancer, black have a one in five chance. He also said it is estimated that there will be 240,890 new cases of prostate cancer reported this year and 33,720 deaths from the disease.
Su also said black men have the highest incidence of prostate cancer in the world.
He said the risk factors for prostate cancer include age, family history, race and diet, and he said "the jury is still out" on why black men suffer from the disease more than any other men.
He said black men should begin getting annual prostate cancer screenings at the age of 40, although it is recommended men of other ethnic groups begin testing at a later age.
2. KSA issues directive to combat cyber crimes
The Saudi government has issued new regulations that make it illegal for computers, cell phones or hi-tech devices to be bought or sold without the registration of the customer and suppliers ID numbers, Saudi Gazette has reported. The directive by the interior ministry also requires scanning these devices before selling or buying them for any illegal or dangerous data. The new rules follow a huge surge in the hacking of computers and the theft of mobile phones containing sensitive information such as photos and other confidential material.
