Michael Jackson once kept Bubbles as a pet. Michael Jackson has been accused of beating up his chimp Bubbles. The late singer's pet was reportedly being beaten while in his car, and a leading chimpanzee expert insisted she tried to intervene when she'd heard about the way he was being treated.
Uterine fibroids are noncancerous growths of the uterus that often appear during childbearing years. Also called leiomyomas (lie-o-my-O-muhs) or myomas, uterine fibroids aren't associated with an increased risk of uterine cancer and almost never develop into cancer. Fibroids range in size from seedlings, undetectable by the human eye, to bulky masses that can distort and enlarge the uterus.
Uterine Fibroids are common non-cancerous (benign) tumors of the uterus and are the most frequent reason for recommending a hysterectomy. They grow from the muscular wall of the uterus and are made up of muscle and fibrous tissue. Many women over 35 have fibroids, but usually have no symptoms. In some women, however, fibroids (myomas) may cause heavy bleeding, pelvic discomfort and pain and occasionally exert pressure on other organs. These symptoms may require treatment.
