As we all know, pornographic magazines, movies and websites cater, for the most part, to men. We hear all the time that men are visual creatures, while women are romance junkies. (Someone once argued that romance novels were a woman's pornography.) Although women aren't quite as easily stimulated by visual material as men, some women do like porn — not all of it soft core.

Diagnosis:
Diagnosing pneumonia may be difficult, since lab tests to grow the bacteria from samples can take many days to process, and chest x-rays cannot always distinguish between pneumonia and other conditions. New tests have the potential to make diagnosis easier and quicker. One is a blood test that identifies a marker of severe inflammation in the body.

Symptoms of Periodontal Disease
Symptoms of periodontal disease include red and swollen gums, persistent bad breath, and gum recession and loose teeth. Smoking, certain types of illnesses (diabetes), older age, and other factors increase the risk for periodontal disease. If you have periodontal disease, your dentist may refer you to a periodontist, a dentist who specializes in treating this condition.

Neuroimaging Techniques May Help Diagnose Narcolepsy
Neuroimaging techniques, such as CT and MRI scanning, have allowed researchers to characterize brain function throughout the sleep-wake cycle in the normal human brain. At the present time, few research studies have evaluated the brains of people with sleep disorders using these neuroimaging techniques. More studies involving people with sleep disorders, such as narcolepsy, will be required to gather data to help researchers diagnose, classify, treat, and monitor sleep disorders more effectively.

Kudos to Jon Stewart for a job well done even though he is already getting criticized as a host. They say the big stars just don't get him. Critics can be so harsh.
