This edition features articles on:

When physicians make important assessments on patients’ health, they need total confidence in the accuracy and timeliness of clinical test results.
- Start Early to Fend off Dementia
Dr. Jhaveri offers some brain-boosting tips to add to your daily life.
Everyone has mild memory lapses from time to time. You go from the kitchen to the bedroom to get something, only to find yourself wondering what you needed. Most of us start worrying about dementia after retirement - and that may be too little, too late. Experts say that if you really want to ward off dementia, you need to start taking care of your brain in your 30s and 40s - or even earlier.
- Don't Let Embarrassment Keep You From Getting Help. Newer, more advanced procedures offer women treatment options said Dr. P.T. Nguyen. You may have heard the term "almost wet myself laughing," but for Margaret it was an embarrassing fact of life. It happened frequently-during dinner parties, at restaurants and once in the middle of an important business meeting. Margaret had urinary stress incontinence. While any type of urinary incontinence can cause significant emotional stress, the term, in this case, refers to the pressure placed on the bladder with laughing, coughing, sneezing, running, sexual activity or other movements that results in unwanted leakage of urine.
