The aim is to cut less and to reduce pain and recovery time. Some researchers see a future in NOTES. NOTES is short for Natural Orifice Translumenal Endoscopic Surgery. In simple terms, what this means is the removal of diseased organs through the body’s natural openings. For example, a man in California recently had his appendix ( 3 ) through his mouth. Twenty-five years ago, having your appendix ( 3 ) meant staying in the hospital for as long as a week. Patients returned home with an ugly and permanent scar on their abdomen. But since the late nineteen eighties, laparoscopic surgery has gained popularity. It leaves only small marks where holes were made in the skin. The doctor works with a system called a laparoscope, usually connected to a video camera. Laparoscopic surgery ( 4 ) requires a hospital stay.

Ovarian cancer is known ( 6 ) a “silent killer” because it is usually discovered too late to save a woman’s life. But three cancer groups in the United States have now agreed on a list of possible early signs of the disease. The statement is the first of its kind to recognize what ovarian cancer survivors have long believed: that there are common symptoms. Researchers have found that these symptoms are more likely to happen in women with ovarian cancer than women in general. One symptom is bloating, or expansion of the abdomen area. Pain in the abdomen or the pelvis can be another symptom. Also, researchers say women with early-stage ovarian cancer may urinate more often or with greater urgency. And the statement says another common symptom is difficulty ( 7 ) or feeling full quickly.

Supporters of advanced education for women faced many problems. States ( 8 ) require each town to provide a school for children, but teachers often were poorly prepared. Most young women were not able to continue on with their education in private schools. If they did, they often were not taught much ( 9 ) the French language, how to sew clothing, and music. Mary Lyon felt that women’s education was extremely important. Through her lifelong work for education she became one of the most famous women in nineteenth century America. She believed that women were teachers both in the home and in the classroom. And, she believed that efforts to better educate young women also served God. ( 10 ) women were better educated, she felt, they could teach in local schools throughout the United States and in foreign countries.
