COMPLETENESS Management's completeness assertions address whether all transactions and accounts that should be presented in the financial statements are so included. For example, all expenses incurred during a given period must be recorded, and all amounts owed to vendors must be included in the accounts payable balance. When conducting tests to verify the completeness assertion, auditors search for understatements. Testing begins with the supporting source documents and progresses toward the...
"The recommendations to consume an abundance of fiber-rich foods to prevent coronary heart disease are based on a wealth of consistent scientific evidence," state University of Minnesota School of Public Health's Dr. Mark Pereira and colleagues. Researchers did not identify a specific protective mechanism, although the study noted fiber has been shown to reduce risk of heart disease in many ways, such as by improving blood-lipid profiles, lowering blood pressure and improving insulin sensitiv...

My best girlfriend since the 4th grade is battling colon cancer that has metastisized to her liver. She is now embarking on a new treatment called TheraSphere. Apparently it consists of radiated glass beads that are threaded through directly to the tumors. I'm hoping someone out there knows something about this treatment. The more I read about her kind of cancer, the more scared I am. It is considered stage 4 colon cancer and the current survival stats say that only ab...
Most people I've noticed don't do reviews on the prescription drugs they take. Which is a shame because most adults at some point are on some sort of prescription drug and sharing their experiences with others could be very helpful. This is particularly true with regards to drugs that are used to treat the myriad of mental disorders out there. Before I was 21, I had never had any substance more heavy duty than an antibiotic. I hadn't even consumed alcohol. I have never...
Going to the doctor was an experience I've gotten used to since being forced into retirement by several things adversely affecting my health. But despite the numerous visits, I'm still amazed that a diagnosis can be given, the doctor certain of her work, and yet nothing is done to cure any of the problems so carefully tracked and identified. Instead, as usual, I left the office with a new prescription for some drug that will work at relieving the pain - leaving the problem to continue its dia...
Technorati Profile John Joseph Conway is living proof that men can become just as vain as women when it comes to getting plastic surgery. The Chicago firefighter took his admiration of Bruce Willis to new heights when he traveled last month to New Delhi, India to get his jaw line reconstructed to look like the actor. "I'm a firefighter. I need to look the part. I wanted to improve my jaw line. Bruce Willis has a nice strong jaw," he tells the Hindustan Times newspaper. Conway, who also tr...
This is not about health, the welfare of the nation, it is about politics plain and simple, it is about the DEMOCRATS doing what they do best, Fight a battle with President Bush just for the sake of fighting a battle, from their own comments is is plain as the nose on my face {which is a big nose a great big JEWISH NOSE} that Pelosi and Clinton do not have a clue about what they are talking about, they have done no research into the subject at all, they are just keeping their names in the headl...
The Sopranos, America's favorite family of criminals, will be coming to a close next month. Currently, there are 2 episodes remaining, the 1st of which is scheduled to air June 3rd. Most of the attention on the show is of course, about the crime. About the "whackings" that come nearly every week, and have been a staple in this final season. About who got "pinched" and who's going to "rat" and who's going to be a "stand up guy." But the show began, and always has the underlying theme o...
Men with low PSA (prostate specific antigen) levels on screening tests can still have prostate cancer, according to a study* released today by scientists from the National Cancer Institute (NCI), part of the National Institutes of Health, and the Southwest Oncology Group, an NCI-funded network of researchers. In this study, prostate cancers were detected by biopsy in men with normal PSA levels. "The good news is that the vast majority of these cancers were low and intermediate grade, whi...
Biotechnology is technology based on biology, especially when used in agriculture, food science, and medicine. The UN Convention on Biological Diversity has come up with one of many definitions of biotechnology:[1] "Biotechnology means any technological application that uses biological systems, living organisms, or derivatives thereof, to make or modify products or processes for specific use." This definition is at odds with common usage in the United States, where "biotechnology" gene...

Age, prostate volume, body mass index, inflammation and presence of cancer were not predictive of the level of pain experienced. However, injecting lidocai...
