titleGum Disease and Higher Chances of Cancer/titlecategory3835/categorypbbr //b/p

According to a new research by the Imperial College of
London, gum diseases can lead to a higher chance of cancer.  The most common cancers that are linked to
gum disease includes pancreatic, lung, kidneys, as well as blood cancers.

pThe basic link joining the gum disease and cancers is
because of the weakened immune system.  This
fact was outlined by going through the medical records of about 50,000
individuals, which strengthened the fact mentioned above./p

The Exotic Shorthair Cat

Monday, August 25th, 2008

Exotic Shorthair is a house cat breed. It was developed in United States.

A shorthair house cat, Exotic Shorthair was developed in United
States during the middle of twentieth century by mating longhair
Persian cats with certain shorthair breeds. The idea was to create a
cat that had all the adorable external features of the Persian apart
from its long hair. For this purpose American and British Shorthairs,
Burmese and even Russian Blues were used to create the perfect
shorthaired Persian. The resulting cat had a distinct exotic look about
it and owing to its short hair, was named thus. Formal recognition came
in the sixties when it was accepted by major registration bodies. Today
the Exotics resemble Persians more than the shorthair breeds that were
used in their initial creation, in temperament and appearance. Indeed
Persian is the only breed with which occasional outcrosses of the
Exotic are currently permitted.
