Breast Enhancement Surgery

 Breast enlargement surgery, according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), was the fourth most popular invasive surgical procedure among cosmetic plastic surgeries performed in 2000. In a press release dated July 12, 2001, the ASPS says that breast augmentation was performed on 212,500 women last year.

Meanwhile, millions of women have been subjected to the ill effects of these modern day vanity contraptions that were bought in good faith.

Remember!!

Silicone gel implants were banned in 1992 by FDA. 
If you have (or had) a ruptured silicone breast implant, you will be denied Health Insurance Coverage. 

Saline-filled implants tend to have a higher rate of leaking and deflation than silicone gel implants, which means more frequent surgery to replace them.

In a study published in the Lancet medical journal, Dr Lori Brown of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) says: "There is emerging consensus that both the incidence and prevalence of breast-implant rupture are much higher than previously suspected." 

21% overall increase in cancers for women with implants, compared to women of the same age in the general population. 

Implant patients were three times as likely to die from lung cancer, emphysema and pneumonia as other plastic surgery patients.The study is based on medical records and death certificates of almost 8,000 women with breast implants, including silicone gel implants and saline implants, and more than 2,000 other plastic surgery patients.

Natural Home Remedies for Constipation Part 2




Constipation is a common disorder that is rampant among the American populace. Estimates have shown that over 3 million people have constipation annually in the United States. As if that were not enough, more than 2 million also suffer from irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). The causes of constipation are multifaceted. However, there are varied methods in the meantime that will result in some form of relief for anyone who has got constipation. For the purpose of this write-up, we’ll focus a lot more on the natural home remedies useful in constipation relief around us.

1.Drink water regularly. At least 6 glasses of water a day would be very great and therapeutic. Large amounts of water aids quick digestion and enables easier bowel movement.
2.Adding roasted black gram powder to chapatti made of wheat including the husks too can enhance constipation relief.
3.Molasses which have high calorie content are also very good. Beware though as it has a strong taste and you’ll want to add fruit juice or milk to it when taking it. All you really need is two tablespoonfuls of blackstrap molasses just before sleeping at night.
4. Take half a cup of cabbage juice twice a day. This is very effective in treating and curing constipation

.5. If you have got access to mango, take one in the morning right after brushing before breakfast, and one at night after dinner. Mangoes are very effective bowel movers. There is a sure guarantee that you’ll have to “go” at least twice before nightfall.
6. Create a mixture of Spiegel seeds and warm milk. This is done by dipping the Spiegel seeds (5-10g) in warm milk (200g). To this, mixture, add sugar and you have for yourself a highly effective treatment method.
7. If you are suffering from chronic constipation, take a drink of figs dipped in water in the morning. If taken in copious amounts, you’ll definitely find yourself reaching for the next available toilet.
8 . , drink water that has been kept in a copper container and has been left overnight. It acts as a superb constipation relief if you want instant relief from constipation.
Get half a glass of water and mix one-quarter (¼) of Epsom salts with it for fast constipation relief.

Helpful Tips for Constipation Treatment

Rocommonded Ebook :
Got constipation?
Well most of us do once in a while for some and frequently for others. In this article we'll look at how you can get all the constipation  help you'd probably need. While this is not all inclusive in itself, you can consort other sources for all the constipation help you might need. Most people who suffer from constipation will tell that it is one of the most uncomfortable experiences they've had. There are various reasons and causes of constipation:  


 1. Consumption of fast foods and foods that lack lots of fiber. This is the single major reason behind most occurrences of constipation. Because we live in an "instant" age, fast foods have become the order of the day. People just don't know what it is to eat healthily. As long as you can grab some sandwich, burger or fried chicken and the stomach feels full, everything's settled. As a result, foods are not readily digested. All the fiber necessary to stimulate bowel movement are almost non-existent.  

 1. Inadequate fluid intake. People don't drink fluids these days -at least not enough to compensate for bodily needs. Hence, when the feces gets to the rectum, the little moisture remaining in it is absorbed by the rectum. Because stooling requires moisture to enable the easy passage, it becomes hard to freely pass stool. That's why there is a lot of straining to get eliminate the waste.   
1. Leading a sedentary life. People who don't take care of themselves physically, tend to easily develop constipation as a result of the fact they are not involved in any sort of exercise. One of the very first recommendations for those who need constipation help is exercise. The fact that you move around would improve your bowel movements and hasten the relief of constipation. 
4. Pregnant women also suffer from constipation as a result of a change in hormonal balance in the body and also because of the pressure of the now occupied uterus on the intestine. Since you have read some of the causes, it would be better if we moved so you can get all the constipation help you need:  

 1. Eat lots of FiberDietary fiber which is also known as bulk forming laxatives is gotten from the consumption of fruits and vegetables. The easiest way to incorporate this into your lifestyle is by increasing the quantity of fruits and vegetables in your meals and cutting down on the excess of dairy and meat products. In some cases however, some individuals may find it hard to cope with the bulk of fruits needed. When this occurs, it is best that fiber supplements such as wheat bran, oat bran, psyllium seeds be added to the daily diet. To make this routine easier, when you have the itch to grab a snack, pick a fruit instead and you're on your way to relief. The only downside to this method is if the patient has strictures and adhesions. In this circumstance, it is advisable to consult a physician before getting on in the treatment. Also, some fibers have sugar; as a result, diabetic patients cannot take such. When this occurs, it is best that the patient gets sugar-free fibers. Fibers should not be taken in large quantities suddenly. Small quantities are best for starting. Then, it can gradually increase if the patient finds it necessary.

 A space of one week is adequate for each phase of increase in fiber content. Sources of fiber are fruits, vegetables, Citrucel, Konsyl Fiber, Maltsupex etc 



Irritable Bowel Syndrome Symptoms

Rocommonded E-Book
The primary purpose of the gastrointestinal tract is to digest and absorb  food. In order to fulfill this purpose, food must be ground, mixed, and  transported through the intestines, where it is digested and absorbed. In  addition, undigested and unabsorbed portions of the food must be eliminated from  the body. 
(what is Irritable bowel syndrome?)

In functional diseases of the gastrointestinal tract such as  Irritable Bowel Syndrome Symptoms, the grinding, mixing, digestion, and  absorption functions are disturbed to only a minor degree. These functions are  essentially maintained, perhaps because of a built-in over-capacity of the  gastrointestinal tract to perform these functions. The most commonly affected  function in these diseases is transportation. In the stomach and small  intestine, the symptoms of slowed transportation are nausea, vomiting, abdominal  bloating, and abdominal enlargement. The symptom of rapid transportation usually  is diarrhea. The interpretation of symptoms, however, may be more complicated  than this. For example, let's say that a person has abnormally rapid emptying of  the stomach. The sensing of this rapid emptying by the intestinal sensory nerves  normally brings about a motor nerve response to slow emptying of the stomach and  transportation through the small intestine. Thus, rapid emptying of the stomach  may give rise to symptoms of slowed transportation. 

In the colon,  abnormally slowed or rapid transportation results in constipation or diarrhea,  respectively. In addition, there may be increased amounts of mucus coating the  stool or a sense of incomplete evacuation after a bowel movement. 

As  discussed previously, normal sensations may be abnormally processed and  perceived. Such an abnormality could result in abdominal bloating and pain.  Abnormally processed sensations from the gastrointestinal organs also might lead  to motor responses that cause symptoms of slowed or rapid transportation. 
(causes of Irritable Bowel Syndrome)

Slowed transportation of digesting food through the small intestine may  be complicated, for example, by bacterial overgrowth. In bacterial overgrowth,  gas-producing bacteria that are normally restricted to the colon move up into  the small intestine. There, they are exposed to greater amounts of undigested  food than in the colon, which they turn into gas. This formation of gas can  aggravate bloating and/or abdominal distention and result in increased amounts  of flatus (passing gas, or flatulence) and diarrhea. 

The  gastrointestinal tract has only a few ways of responding to diseases. Therefore,  the symptoms often are similar regardless of whether the diseases are functional  or non-functional. Thus, the symptoms of both functional and non-functional  gastrointestinal diseases are nausea, vomiting, bloating, abdominal distention,  diarrhea, constipation, and pain. For this reason, when functional disease is  being considered as a cause of symptoms, it is important that the presence of  non-functional diseases be excluded. In fact, the exclusion of non-functional  diseases usually is more important in evaluating patients who are suspected of  having functional disease. This is so, in large part, because the tests for  diagnosing functional disease are complex, not readily available, and often not  very reliable. In contrast, the tests for diagnosing non-functional diseases are  widely available and sensitive .

Cause of irritable bowel syndrome

Look At what is The Irritable Bowel Syndrome

As discussed previously, irritable bowel syndrome is believed to be due to  the abnormal function (dysfunction) of the muscles of the organs of the  gastrointestinal tract or the nerves controlling the organs. The nervous control  of the gastrointestinal tract, however, is complex. A system of nerves runs the  entire length of the gastrointestinal tract from the esophagus to the anus in  the muscular walls of the organs. These nerves communicate with other nerves  that travel to and from the spinal cord. Nerves within the spinal cord, in turn,  travel to and from the brain. (The gastrointestinal tract is exceeded in the  numbers of nerves it contains only by the spinal cord and brain.) Thus, the  abnormal function of the nervous system in IBS may occur in a gastrointestinal  muscular organ, the spinal cord, or the brain. 

The nervous system that  controls the gastrointestinal organs, as with most other organs, contains both  sensory and motor nerves. The sensory nerves continuously sense what is  happening within the organ and relay this information to nerves in the organ's  wall. From there, information can be relayed to the spinal cord and brain. The  information is received and processed in the organ's wall, the spinal cord, or  the brain. Then, based on this sensory input and the way the input is processed,  commands (responses) are sent to the organ over the motor nerves. Two of the  most common motor responses in the intestine are contraction or relaxation of  the muscle of the organ and secretion of fluid and/or mucus into the organ. 

As already mentioned, abnormal function of the nerves of the  gastrointestinal organs, at least theoretically, might occur in the organ,  spinal cord, or brain. Moreover, the abnormalities might occur in the sensory  nerves, the motor nerves, or at processing centers in the intestine, spinal  cord, or brain. Some researchers argue that the cause of functional diseases is  abnormalities in the function of the sensory nerves. For example, normal  activities, such as stretching of the small intestine by food, may give rise to  abnormal sensory signals that are sent to the spinal cord and brain, where they  are perceived as pain. 

Other researchers argue that the cause of  functional diseases is abnormalities in the function of the motor nerves. For  example, abnormal commands through the motor nerves might produce a painful  spasm (contraction) of the muscles. Still others argue that abnormally  functioning processing centers are responsible for functional diseases because  they misinterpret normal sensations or send abnormal commands to the organ. In  fact, some functional diseases may be due to sensory dysfunction, motor  dysfunction, or both sensory and motor dysfunction. Still others may be due to  abnormalities within the processing centers One area that is receiving a great  deal of scientific attention is the potential role of gas produced by intestinal  bacteria in patients with IBS. Studies have demonstrated that patients with IBS  produce larger amounts of gas than individuals without IBS, and the gas may be  retained longer in the small intestine. Among patients with IBS, abdominal size  increases over the day, reaching a maximum in the evening and returning to  baseline by the following morning. In individuals without IBS, there is no  increase in abdominal size during the day. 

There has been a great deal  of controversy over the role that poor digestion and/or absorption of dietary  sugars may play in aggravating the symptoms of IBS. Poor digestion of lactose,  the sugar in milk, is very common as is poor absorption of fructose, a sweetener  found in many processed foods. Poor digestion or absorption of these sugars  could aggravate the symptoms of IBS since unabsorbed sugars often cause  increased formation of gas. 

Although these abnormalities in production  and transport of gas could give rise to some of the symptoms of IBS, much more  work will need to be done before the role of intestinal gas in IBS is  clear.

Dietary fat in healthy individuals causes food as well as gas to  move more slowly through the stomach and small intestine. Some patients with IBS  may even respond to dietary fat in an exaggerated fashion with greater slowing.  Thus, dietary fat could--and probably does--aggravate the symptoms of IBS.

What is irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)?

View The causes of Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)

Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is one of the most common ailments of the  bowel (intestines) and affects an estimated 15% of persons in the US. The term,  irritable bowel, is not a particularly good one since it implies that the bowel  is responding irritably to normal stimuli, and this may or may not be the case.  The several names for IBS, including spastic colon, spastic colitis, and mucous  colitis, attest to the difficulty of getting a descriptive handle on the  ailment. Moreover, each of the other names is itself as problematic as the term  IBS. 

IBS is best described as a functional disease. The concept of  functional disease is particularly useful when discussing diseases of the  gastrointestinal tract. The concept applies to the muscular organs of the  gastrointestinal tract; the esophagus, stomach, small intestine, gallbladder,  and colon. What is meant by the term, functional, is that either the muscles of  the organs or the nerves that control the organs are not working normally, and,  as a result, the organs do not function normally. The nerves that control the  organs include not only the nerves that lie within the muscles of the organs but  also the nerves of the spinal cord and brain. 

Some gastrointestinal  diseases can be seen and diagnosed with the naked eye, such as ulcers of the  stomach. Thus, ulcers can be seen at surgery, on x-rays, and at endoscopies.  Other diseases cannot be seen with the naked eye but can be seen and diagnosed  with the microscope. For example, celiac disease and collagenous colitis are  diagnosed by microscopic examination of biopsies of the small bowel and colon,  respectively. In contrast, gastrointestinal functional diseases cannot be seen  with the naked eye or with the microscope. In some instances, the abnormal  function can be demonstrated by tests, for example, gastric emptying studies or  antro-duodenal motility studies. However, these tests often are complex, are not  widely available, and do not reliably detect the functional abnormalities.  Accordingly, by default, functional gastrointestinal diseases are those  involving the abnormal function of gastrointestinal organs in which  abnormalities cannot be seen in the organs with either the naked eye or the  microscope. 

Occasionally, diseases that are thought to be functional are  ultimately found to be associated with abnormalities that can be seen. Then, the  disease moves out of the functional category. An example of this would be  Helicobacter pylori infection of the stomach. Many patients with mild upper  intestinal symptoms who were thought to have abnormal function of the stomach or  intestines have been found to have an infection of the stomach with Helicobacter  pylori. This infection can be diagnosed by seeing the bacterium and the  inflammation (gastritis) it causes under the microscope . When the patients are  treated with antibiotics, the Helicobacter, gastritis, and symptoms disappear.  Thus, recognition of Helicobacter pylori infection removed some patients'  diseases from the functional category. 

The distinction between  functional disease and non-functional disease may, in fact, be blurry. Thus,  even functional diseases probably have associated biochemical or molecular  abnormalities that ultimately will be able to be measured. For example,  functional diseases of the stomach and intestines may be shown ultimately to be  caused by reduced levels of normal chemicals within the gastrointestinal organs,  the spinal cord, or the brain. Should a disease that is demonstrated to be due  to a reduced chemical still be considered a functional disease? I think not. In  this theoretical situation, we can't see the abnormality with the naked eye or  the microscope, but we can measure it. If we can measure an associated or  causative abnormality, the disease probably should no longer be considered  functional. 

Despite the shortcomings of the term, functional, the  concept of a functional abnormality is useful for approaching many of the  symptoms originating from the muscular organs of the gastrointestinal tract.  This concept applies particularly to those symptoms for which there are no  associated abnormalities that can be seen with the naked eye or the microscope. 

While IBS is a major functional disease,(Causes) it is important to mention a  second major functional disease referred to as dyspepsia, or functional  dyspepsia. The symptoms of dyspepsia are thought to originate from the upper  gastrointestinal tract; the esophagus, stomach, and the first part of the small  intestine. The symptoms include upper abdominal discomfort, bloating (the  subjective sense of abdominal fullness without objective distension), or  objective distension (swelling, or enlargement). The symptoms may or may not be  related to meals. There may be nausea with or without vomiting and early satiety  (a sense of fullness after eating only a small amount of food). 

The  study of functional disorders of the gastrointestinal tract often is categorized  by the organ of involvement. Thus, there are functional disorders of the  esophagus, stomach, small intestine, colon, and gallbladder. The amount of  research on functional disorders has been focused mostly on the esophagus and  stomach (such as dyspepsia), perhaps because these organs are easiest to reach  and study. Research into functional disorders affecting the small intestine and  colon (for example, IBS) is more difficult to conduct and there is less  agreement among the research studies. This probably is a reflection of the  complexity of the activities of the small intestine and colon and the difficulty  in studying these activities. Functional diseases of the gallbladder, like those  of the small intestine and colon, also are more difficult to study.

Most  individuals are surprised to learn they are not alone with symptoms of IBS. In  fact, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) affects approximately 10-20% of the general  population. It is the most common disease diagnosed by gastroenterologists  (doctors who specialize in medical treatment of disorders of the stomach and  intestines) and one of the most common disorders seen by primary care  physicians.

Sometimes irritable bowel syndrome is referred to as spastic  colon, mucous colitis, spastic colitis, nervous stomach, or irritable  colon.

Irritable bowel syndrome, or IBS, is generally classified as a  "functional" disorder. A functional disorder refers to a disorder or disease  where the primary abnormality is an altered physiological function (the way the  body works), rather than an identifiable structural or biochemical cause. It  characterizes a disorder that generally can not be diagnosed in a traditional  way; that is, as an inflammatory, infectious, or structural abnormality that can  be seen by commonly used examination, x-ray, or blood test. 

Irritable bowel syndrome is understood as a multi-faceted disorder.  In people with IBS, symptoms result from what appears to be a disturbance in the  interaction between the gut or intestines, the brain, and the autonomic nervous  system that alters regulation of bowel motility (motor function) or sensory  function.

Irritable bowel syndrome is characterized by a group of  symptoms in which abdominal pain or discomfort is associated with a change in  bowel pattern, such as loose or more frequent bowel movements, diarrhea, and/or  constipation.

Treatment options are available to manage IBS—whether  symptoms are mild, moderate, or severe.

Nutritional Support For Joint Structure and Function ( Deer Velvet )


Nutrition programs

The first health care claim of deer velvet antler to be substantiated by scientific evidence, in compliance with US Food and Drug Administration dietary supplement regulations, was announced by the North American Elk Breeders Association (NAEBA) recently. Executive Director Ben Coplan said the determination, made by two consulting firms hired by NAEBA, Nutrinfo of Watertown, Massachusetts and Tradeworks Group, Inc. of Brattleboro, Vermont, is a significant breakthrough for the nation's 1,400 breeders of farm-raised elk.

According to Coplan, the Nutrinfo report states there is a reasonable basis to claim that velvet antler helps relieve the symptoms of arthritis. However, a disease claim may not be used for a dietary supplement in the US; therefore, the acceptable statement for product labels and advertisements of a dietary supplement would be "provides nutritional support for joint structure and function." 

"This determination, by two of the leading dietary supplement firms in the world, is "just what the doctor ordered" for the members of our growing agricultural industry," Coplan said.

Many studies have shown most of the carbohydrate in antler is proteoglycan, which is a combination of protein and carbohydrate. The carbohydrate portion is primarily glycosaminoglycan, of which chondroitin sulfate is by far the predominant constituent. One study cited by the Nutrinfo report evaluated the clinical efficacy of chondroitin sulfate in knee osteoarthritis. Treatment with 3 X 400 mg doses per day for 90 days provided significant relief from symptoms as reported by patients. "We intend to research and substantiate other health benefit claims for velvet antler," Coplan said.

"We want to carefully research the potential benefits of velvet antler supplements for supporting the immune system, anti-aging, muscle strength and endurance, and sexual vitality."

Deer velvet antler has been highly regarded in traditional oriental medicine for two thousand years. It is consumed regularly by people of Japan, Taiwan, Korea and Hong Kong as a highly prized medicinal drug to treat blood loss, weakness, and chronic joint pain. Scientific studies in Canada and New Zealand are now verifying the health benefits of this important supplement.

"The scientific-backed health benefit claim will greatly expand marketing opportunities for velvet antler dietary supplements in the United States," Coplan stated. 

The FDA in the United States regulates claims for dietary supplements through a process, which is different than for medicinal drugs; it does not "approve" dietary supplements, but allows producers to substantiate structure/function claims through critical review of scientific studies.

In North America, farmers and ranchers raise approximately 110,000 elk, the largest of the deer family. Historically, the velvet antler harvested by North American farmers has been exported to Asian countries. As the natural foods and dietary supplement market has expanded in the U.S., farmers have turned their attention to the domestic market. Association headquarters is in Platte City, Mo.Copies of the scientific report on velvet antler are available from the NAEBA office.From: North American Elk Breeders Association

The Best Tips for Curing Nail Fungus

The Best Tips to Curing Nail FungusNailsmust be kept clean and dry always and breath fresh air. Nail fungus naturally occurs on toenail. Some reason is wearing shoes that are tied too tight, wearing shoes for a very long time can cause your feet to perspire and build fungus. Borrowing of nail cutter and other tools from other people might also cause you the transferring of fungus, because if the user has fungus infection it might get to you. Trauma can be one of the reasons for its cause. If one of your gets injured it allows the bacteria to get in. Those people with low immune system have a great chance of getting this disease. Once it occurs in one toenail it spreads to other nails at the same feet.

There are mild and aggressive kinds of medications. It can be treated in the traditional way, self treated, or it can be doctor prescribed. Most probably it is much to be preferred by doctors to guarantee the effectiveness and safeness of the treatment. Some medicines can cause side effects especially on those people who are suffering from liver diseases and can also cause allergies because of its high toxic contents. People who have depressed immune systems like those people with problem in their circulatory system, Diabetic people, elderly people and those who have HIV.  Medication for nail fungus is a long-term treatment. Awareness in preventing it can minimize its risk to preserve your healthy nail. It takes almost 3 months to be done. In three months, while your nails grow, the medicine applied prevents the fungi from growing, bringing back the healthy nail.Curing Nail fungus has its success rate at 60–80 percent and it is not assured that it will not occur again. In fact it has a 15 percent chance to reoccur

.Nail Fungus is a long lasting kind of infection. That is why after treating it the doctors still recommend their patients to continue the use of anti-fungal creams. This is to prevent another build up of fungus infection.The best way to keep a healthy nail is to keep your hygiene always. To prevent fungus infection we must follow some certain methods. The first is, wear open footwear as much as possible. Second, change socks immediately if it becomes damp or wearing absorbent socks is more preferable. Third, don’t wear high top boots if not needed. Fourth, Treat fungus as early as you can to stop its spreading

How to Get Rid Of and Eliminate and Acne Scars ?

How To Get Rid Of Acne
 Many people are unaware of the fact that there are many effective treatments for acne. Therefore they fail to seek early treatment. This is unfortunate, as it is only after acne has progressed from a mild or moderate stage to severe acne that there is the risk of developing acne scars. If it is possible to halt the progression of your acne in the early stages, it is best to do this since acne scars should be avoided at all cost.Sometimes acne heals itself with time, when left alone. Other times, it progresses into a more advanced, serious stage.

 Once acne reaches the stage where acne cysts and acne nodules are developing, there is the possibility of acne scars forming. 
There are a few treatments aimed at removing acne scars 
 however still some scarring will be permanent or require regular treatment. In general, the great effects from treatments for acne scars are temporary.If your acne becomes severe, it is important to aggressively pursue treatment to halt any further progression. You should consult a doctor or a dermatologist as early as possible in order to get the correct medical advice and to gain access to the latest prescription medicine. Effective treatment, at this stage, can be the difference between ridding yourself of acne and being plagued with a lifetime of scarring. Acne spots are much larger in the severe stage, than during the mild or moderate stages. They can also be quite painful as well.All cases of acne are unique. Treatments that work perfectly for one individual can have absolutely no impact on another. The same is true for treatments for acne scarring. Acne affects the skin of every individual in a different way and each instance of scarring is unique. Therefore, acne scarring treatment is usually dealt with on a case by case basis. 

There are six well-known treatments for acne scarring. More often than not, a combination of treatments are used as opposed to a single treatment.Acne scars are generally treated using one or more of the following treatments; Dermabrasion, Laser Resurfacing, Chemical Peels, Punch Techniques, Subcision or Augmentation.
These treatments vary in price and in effectiveness. A high price does not always mean the most success for you so weigh each option and its proven results carefully.
Augmentation is when a substance is injected under an acne scar to help raise the crater-like scars that severe acne leaves. Collagen is often used for this and at times fat from other areas of the individual’s body. Collagen has only temporary results and the treatment would need to be repeated on a regular basis. Other methods such as Dermabrasion and Laser resurfacing are very expensive, however they are not always what you need and they are not always successful in treating scars.Making a decision on an acne scar treatment is tough. Try not to make a decision based on emotions but rather on facts. Think both long term and short term and most importantly, ask your doctor for all of the facts and ask him to clarify any points that are not clear to you.
