These are spinneret glands on the abdomen of a spider.

Without GnRH, the pituitary gland stops releasing luteinizing hormone (LH).

Descartes thought that the mind and body were joined in the pineal gland.

The problem with breast density is that it's truly the wolf in sheep's clothing.

I was at a conference of 60,000 people in breast imaging last week in Chicago, and I was stunned that there was a heated debate as to whether we should be telling women what their breast density is.

Prostate massage or prostate milking is the massage or stimulation of the male prostate gland for sexual stimulation purposes.

Radiologists classify breast density into four categories based on the appearance of the tissue on a mammogram.

But you can understand why there may be forces in the breast imaging world who prefer the status quo.

Speculative suggestions have been made that an increase of N,N dimethyltryptamine levels in the pineal gland contribute to spiritual experiences.

Each of these silk fibers exits from the spigot, and if you were to trace the fiber back into the spider, what you would find is that each spigot connects to its own individual silk gland. A silk gland kind of looks like a sac with a lot of silk proteins stuck inside.

But the potential advantage was that gamma rays, unlike X rays, are not influenced by breast density.

The State of Connecticut became the first and only state to mandate that women receive notification of their breast density after a mammogram.

And although breast density generally declines with age, up to a third of women retain dense breast tissue for years after menopause.

Second, if you're pre menopausal, try to schedule your mammogram in the first two weeks of your menstrual cycle, when breast density is relatively lower.

Now it's bad enough that breast density makes it hard to find a cancer, but it turns out that it's also a powerful predictor of your risk for breast cancer.

And I started talking to him about this problem with breast density, and we realized that we might be able to get this detector close enough around the breast to actually find small tumors.

So the insight is how do you actually reverse engineer this and go from cocoon to gland and get water and protein that is your starting material.

If HCG is used for too long and in too high a dose, the resulting rise in natural testosterone would eventually inhibit its own production via negative feedback on the hypothalamus and pituitary gland.

There are two groups of women when it comes to screening mammography women in whom mammography works very well and has saved thousands of lives and women in whom it doesn't work well at all.

Accessory glands or modified structures are present in some taxa the Dytiscidae and Hygrobiidae also possess paired prothoracic glands secreting steroids and the Gyrinidae are unique in the extended shape of the external opening of the pygidial gland.

At the time my patient posed this question to me, breast density was an obscure topic in the radiology literature, and very few women having mammograms, or the physicians ordering them, knew about this.

You may recall a year ago when a firestorm erupted after the United States Preventive Services Task Force reviewed the world's mammography screening literature and issued a guideline recommending against screening mammograms in women in their 40s.
