SFGate - Flyers left winger Oskar Lindblom has a rare medical condition and is expected to miss the rest of the season, the team announced Friday. Lindblom, 23, has been diagnosed with Ewing's sarcoma by specialists at the University of Pennsylvania, Flyers general manager Chuck Fletcher said. "The Flyers will do everything possible to support Oskar and assist him in securing the best care possible," Fletcher said in a statement. Ewing's sarcoma is a rare cancerous tumor that grows in the bones or the soft tissue around the bones. It usually affects people from the ages of 10 to 20. About 250 children and young adults are diagnosed every year in the United States - slightly more males than females, and most of them are white. The cancer is treated with chemotherapy, surgery and radiation. If it hasn't spread beyond the site of origin, the cure rates are near 80%. It can spread to the lungs, other bones and bone marrow, so chemotherapy is important to kill micrometastases. Fletcher sai

India Business Standard - New Delhi, Dec 14 (ANI): Sleeping is known to be the best medicine to treat a lot of human ailments, but a new study suggests that people who sleep more than required have an increased risk of getting a stroke.

The conclusion drawn out of the study was that people who slept for nine hours or more during the night were 23 per cent more susceptible of getting a stroke as compared to people who slept for seven or fewer hours in the night. The study found out that people who were both long sleepers and long nappers had 85 per cent likelihood of having a stroke than people who slept in moderation.

OpEdNews - QuickLink: Insulin keeps diabetics alive. What happens when they can't afford it? - Matt Peterson, vice president of medical information and professional engagement for the American Diabetes Association, said it's not surprising that people are turning to what his nonprofit group calls the "gray market'.  "Given how expensive these things can be, particularly if you don't have adequate insurance, how important they are to living healthy with diabetes, it's not surprising that some people feel the need to do that. We think it's unfortunate that anyone would even need to do that rather than be able to afford the treatment that they and their doctor think is appropriate," Peterson told the Deseret News. There's no legal restriction to buying insulin in Canada and bringing it into the U.S., Peterson said, adding that he knows a doctor in Seattle who encourages patients to cross the border to buy it.
