Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center Medical Director - I have devoted my professional career of more than 30 years to improving the techniques of microsurgical tubal repair in order to be able to restore fertility and hope to women desiring to become pregnant after having their tubes tied. The surgical techniques that I have developed make outpatient tubal ligation reversal comfortable, safe, and affordable by eliminating the need for hospitalization and speeding the recovery process." /> Gary S Berger, MD Physician, Active Health Library, Doctor, ObGyn Physician, and Surgeon

High Blood Pressure and Pregnancy: Short- and Long-Term Consequences
newswise.com — “Highlights: 1) A test done mid-pregnancy accurately predicts which women will later develop preeclampsia, a late-pregnancy disorder characterized by high blood pressure and excess protein in the urine. Left untreated, preeclampsia can lead to serious—even fatal—complications for a pregnant woman and her baby. 2) Women with high blood pressure during pregnancy risk experiencing high blood pressure, kidney problems, and stroke in the future compared to women with normal blood pressure during pregn” View full resource at newswise.com

Breast cancer not 100% inherited: Study
news-medical.net — “According to study results released this Monday, women with a close relative with breast cancer may not be at a higher risk of getting breast cancer. The findings may bring comfort to women from high-risk families after a 2007 study suggested that simply having a relative with a BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutation raised their risk of developing breast cancer, even if they had tested negative for the genes.” View full resource at news-medical.net

Inherited genetic links to prostate cancer discovered
news-medical.net — “Researchers from the U.S. and Sweden have linked five inherited genetic mutations to the development of a particularly aggressive and deadly form of prostate cancer. They suggest that these findings could someday lead to development of an easy-to-administer blood test to screen for such mutations to help physicians assess the long-term risk faced by newly diagnosed prostate cancer patients.” View full resource at news-medical.net
