Studies Find Declines in Screening and Early Detection of Prostate Cancer
The declines “could have significant public health implications,” one study said, and almost certainly result from a panel’s recommendation against the hotly debated test.
"Because
prostate cancer often grows slowly, the panel said, screening finds
many tumors that might never have harmed the patient. But they are
treated anyway. As a result, it concluded, testing saves few lives and
leads too many men into unneeded surgery or radiation, which often
leaves them impotent and incontinent.
An editorial accompanying the articles,
by Dr. David F. Penson, the chairman of urologic surgery at Vanderbilt
University Medical Center, acknowledged that too much screening could do
harm but suggested that the pendulum had swung too far the other way."I will get screened again.
The surgery is only better than the advanced disease.

Terrible Defense Leads Saints to Fire Rob Ryan
Among the coaches who have been defensive coordinators for at least ten seasons since 1990, Ryan’s defenses have allowed the most points per game and yards per game.http://www.nytimes.com/2015/11/17/sports/football/nfl-had-lots-of-short-passes-for-long-gains-this-week.html?ref=football
"The Patriots and Giants staged another classic, and produced two long touchdowns in the process. Odell Beckham Jr. caught an 87-yard touchdown pass, thanks in part to safety Devin McCourty taking a bad angle on the play. Beckham caught the ball at the Giants 36-yard line, and then ran 64 yards across open field for the score. Later, Patriots star Rob Gronkowski scored on a 76-yard touchdown (with 45 yards coming after the catch) after Giants safety Craig Dahl took a poor angle, allowing an easy touchdown for New England.
Overall,
there were six touchdown passes of 75 yards or longer yesterday. That
set a new record, breaking the mark of five, set in week 1 of 1963
season and tied in week 8 of 1984. And while a pair of superstars helped
the cause, four of the touchdowns came from players who began the
season as backups. And all six touchdowns were the result of at least
one, if not several, defensive miscues."
