  YATSASS: Study Finds Therapy for Leaky Bladder Improves Quality of Life NEW YORK (Reuters Health) In this study, a real, live doctor concluded, not quite conclusively that: "...therapy for bladder leakage problems not only helps patients urinate better, it also improves their quality of life and reduces depression, new research suggests..." But, Dr. Anurag K. Das, from Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston warned, "...whether these findings are applicable to the general population of patients with bladder problems is unclear...These patients may not be representative of the general population with urine incontinence, 'many of whom do not seek treatment because of the embarrassing nature of the problem and the strong cultural norms associated with bodily functions such as voiding.'" So, doctor, what you're trying to say, if I may speak freely, is that you think, but you're not sure that people who don't piss their pants feel better than people who do? Remarkable. I'd never have guessed. One can't merely rely on anecdotal evidence. Please let us know when you have developed scientifically irrebuttable proof.
In a related study, doctors think that there may be a link between male pattern baldness and the frequency of erythema, tenderness, and sometimes blistering of the vertex (sunburnt head), and it seems that there may be a correlation between sub-nasion epidermal rubor (little red spots on the bridge of the nose) and the frequent wearing of eyeglasses, but we need to spend more time and money before we can be sure. © 2002-2008 Rob Falk, All Rights Reserved.
