Argentina Doctors Remove World's Largest Tumour

The Gandulfo hospital close to Buenos Aires in Argentina where the record-breaking malignant tumour was removed from a female patient

Doctors in Argentina have detached what they believe is the biggest malignant tumour ever recorded from the womb of a 54-year-old woman.

The 22kg tumour had been budding in the woman for around 18 months before surgeons removed it in a four-hour procedure, the Daily Mail reported. Lead surgeon Oscar Lopez said they had not found any references to a huge tumour growing larger than 4kg anywhere else in the world.

"Its weight is similar to that of a four-year-old boy's," Dr Lopez said. "In layman's terms, it was as if this lady had been pregnant with quintuplets."
The unnamed woman went ahead with the medical process after suffering abdominal pain for the last year-and-a-half, hindering her ability to walk or tie up her shoelaces. The woman is now improving at home after spending five days in hospital following the procedure.

Newly Discovered Pea Sized Frog Enters The Record Book

One of the smallest frogs in the world, the species was discovered inside and around pitcher plants in Malaysian rain forests on the island of Borneo (map), which is divided among Brunei, Indonesia, and Malaysia.

The new species was announced Wednesday, but the frogs have been thrashing in plain view for more than a century. "I saw some specimens in museum collections that are over a hundred years old," co-discoverer Indraneil Das said in a statement.

"Scientists most probably thought they were juveniles of other species," said Das, a herpetologist at Universiti Malaysia Sarawak in Malaysia. "But it turns out they are adults of this newly discovered microspecies."

MATCHING MENS SHOES WITH SUITS

Always remember that formality of dress shoes begins from the darkness of its color. For example, black is always the most formal color while light brown is the least formal. So you should match your shoes against your suits or pants based on the occasion. If you are attending a formal business dinner, then naturally black shoes are your ultimate choice rather than brown shoes.

Of late, there are more men wearing light brown or camel colored dress shoes against their dark colored suits or pants. These high contrast creates a very trendy style which I personally like. However, we should also note that this combination gives a more casual feel toward it.

What if the suit or pants are brown-based colors like olive or chocolate colors? Must we definitely wear it against brown shoes? Not necessarily, black shoes are just as fine. Of course, brown shoes would let the color flow very smoothly but black is still a color that can fit nicely. Remember that black is the color for formal.

Lace-up shoes are one step better than slip-ons for their formality. At the same time, lace-ups are split into Balmoral and Blucher types. Refer to Mens Dress Shoes Styles for their differences. The latter is always considered less formal because of its open throat design.

So remember that whether you want a formal or casual look would depend on your choice of two criteria: the dress shoe style and its color.
