The bad news is, you’ll still have to get cervical smear checks.

” Thoracic cancer screening in the form of Pap smears and/or HPV testing is also important because the vaccination does not include all types of HPV that can cause thoracic malignancy”, Dr Huang told CNA Women. ” Also, you may have been exposed to HPV before vaccination. And, finally, the vaccine does not treat existing infections – it only prevents future ones”.

Regardless of whether you’ve had the HPV vaccine, you should get a Pap smear every three years if you’re aged 21 to 29. For women aged between 30 and 65, Dr Huang advised to do it every three years, or a Pap and HPV co-test every five years, or HPV testing alone every five years.

” Screening helps detect abnormal cells early, allowing for early treatment before cancer develops”, she said.

Fact# 4: No, cranberry juice does not cure UTI

Urinary tract infections ( UTIs ) are common in women – one in five females aged 20 to 65 experience it at least once a year. It occurs when there’s a significant amount of bacteria in the urinary tract and, if left untreated, it can spread to the kidneys.

If you’ve been reaching for cranberry juice to cure your UTI, you might want to stop.

” While cranberry juice can’t treat UTIs, some studies suggest cranberry products may help prevent them”, said Dr Huang. &nbsp,

” A substance in cranberries, A-type proanthocyanidins ( PACs ), has anti-adhesion properties that can prevent harmful bacteria ( including E. coli, which is commonly associated with urinary tract infections ) from sticking to the walls of the urinary tract”, she added.

The only cure for UTIs is antibiotics, which have to be prescribed by a doctor. If you have UTI symptoms such as painful urination, urgency or cloudy urine, Dr Huang recommended you see a healthcare provider for proper diagnosis and treatment.

She told CNA how she switches from one attitude to another.

” In the nationwide group, one’s on the same speed and equal amount so you can require more from them. But for leagues, since we have different age groups on the staff, it’s difficult to adjust to it”, she added.

Investing Binge

The event has drawn attention in Singapore after reports of Lam’s beautiful investing from the alleged theft. &nbsp,

He is said to have rented comfort houses, spent US$ 400, 000 to US$ 500, 000 per day at bars in Los Angeles and Miami, as well as bought dozens of pleasure cars that included practice Lamborghinis, Ferraris and Porsches.

Social media video apparently show him in bars, gifting Hermes Birkin luggage to versions and influencers. &nbsp,
According to the prosecution, Malone Lam goes by the website monikers” Anne Hathaway” and”$$$”.

He and Serrano reportedly sent “unauthorised Google profile access” alerts to the target in the week leading up to the robbery.

They used surrogate and virtual private network (VPN) service to make it appear as if the entry attempt were coming from overseas. This laid the groundwork for the robbery through” complex social engineering”, according to court records.

The court heard that on Aug 18, 2024, Lam and his friend called the sufferer, pretending to be Google help staff members and telling the survivor there had been a hack effort on his account. The couple finally convinced the sufferer to provide the security codes to his account before Lam allegedly accessed the defendant’s Dropbox and Gmail accounts to find the crypto assets.

He also looked for more information on the victim’s personal records and found Gemini crypto swap information, said court documents.

The conspirators agreed that one of them should call the victim back and pose as a Gemini security team member to convince the victim that his cryptocurrency accounts had also been compromised.

Initially, they allegedly convinced the victim to transfer about US$ 3 million of cryptocurrency to a crypto wallet controlled by Lam. They then asked the victim to download a remote desktop connection program for his own security. This program gave Lam and Serrano real-time access to the victim’s computer.

Serrano purportedly continued to manipulate the victim into opening several files, including those with private keys to over 4, 100 bitcoin. While Serrano continued to speak with the victim, Lam used the access keys to steal the Bitcoin.

Full evidence being used by the prosecutors is yet to be released but is believed to include a hard drive, online chat screenshots and Lam’s smartphone. &nbsp,

At the 2012 London Paralympics, serving as Team Singapore’s chief medical officer, she witnessed anything really moving: After a Paralympic diver finished about two rounds behind the others, the crowd gave a standing ovation, cheering louder than for the win.

” That kind of brought grief to my sight”, recalled Teoh.

The practice ignited her love for para-sports, which she described as focused on maximising what persons have rather than what they lack.

Motivated by this philosophy, she started the PlayBuddy program in 2016 to unlock the potential of babies with physical disabilities. It brings together more than 10 children and their families every Saturday to love activities like karate, sports and ball.

Since its founding, more than 50 people have benefitted from the program, which has grown into a friendly group. ” Their entire world may sometimes revolve just around that child, ( with parents ) taking them to school, … medical appointments, therapy”, said Teoh.

” But when they come together like this, families talk to other relatives who may have gone on a similar journey. … They sort of encourage one another, share tales and don’t think so only”.
