Careful with the bedside banter, doctors. Before you put on your best Patch Adams impression, you might want to consider whether your attempts at humor will ease your patient's discomfort or give him a protruding hernia.
That's the conclusion of a review paper in the Christmas issue of BMJ that asks the jolly question of whether laughter can kill. The two authors, R. E. Ferner of the University of Birmingham and J. K. Aronson of Oxford University—no JK-ing, those are his real initials—take a tongue-in-cheek approach. They even give their research question an acronym: MIRTH (Methodical Investigation of Risibility, Therapeutic and Harmful).
Ferner and Aronson scoured medical literature for studies having to do with laughter. After "excluding papers on the Caribbean sponge Prosuberites laughlini and with authors called Laughing, Laughter, Laughton, or McLaughlin," they were left with three categories of study. One had to do with the benefits of laughter, one with its dangers, and the third with medical conditions that have laughter as a symptom.
Let's hear the bad news first. Laughter, according to various researchers, can lead to syncope (fainting), arrhythmia, and cardiac rupture. In asthmatics, laughing can trigger an attack. Laughing can even cause pneumothorax, a collapsed lung. People with cataplexy, a rare condition tied to narcolepsy, may suddenly lose all their muscle strength and collapse during a fit of laughter. An especially good laugh can make a person's hernia protrude, or dislocate someone's jaw.
Among the more pedestrian dangers, breathing in sharply when you start to laugh can make you choke. Laughing in someone's face can spread germs. And, of course, there's the danger of pee coming out when you laugh, which doctors call "giggle incontinence."
The authors also gathered a list of about three dozen medical conditions that have been reported—commonly or not—to cause laughter. These include epilepsy, brain tumors, multiple sclerosis, and kuru (a disease you are unlikely to contract unless you're a practicing cannibal).
Now for the good news. Laughter may increase your pain tolerance, reduce stiffness in the walls of your arteries, and even lower your risk of a heart attack. In patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), laughter can improve lung function. Fifteen minutes of laughter reportedly burns 40 calories, which fitness-wise makes it similar to a very slow walk (or, according to Fitness magazine, barbecuing.)
Most strangely, one study used clowns to try to (indirectly) get women pregnant. Immediately after undergoing IVF, women were subjected to 12 to 15 minutes of entertainment by "a clown, dressed as a chef de cuisine." Among these women, 36 percent became pregnant, compared to just 20 percent in a control group.
Perhaps aspiring clowns themselves, the authors can't resist throwing in a few puns of their own: "Laughing fit to burst can cause cardiac rupture." "Perhaps surgical patients derive no advantage from being in stitches." "It remains to be seen whether...sick jokes make you ill, [or] dry wit causes dehydration." I'll give them the benefit of the doubt and assume that, knowing the potentially serious side effects of laughter, they chose to spare their - See more at: http://inkfish.fieldofscience.com/#sthash.afRM3JuN.dpuf

Red Prom Dresses
Thursday, August 22, 2013, Ali Larter was in Los Angeles to attend the Festa Italiana in the third annual Festival of Food & Wine. And the least we can say is that it met all the characteristics of "bombesque." For the occasion, the actress of "Heroes" series wearing a red dress with poppy curtains and Spaghetti. Had a belt mark the waist high enough that ideally structured the slim silhouette of young woman and particularly flattered her glamorous curves. To fit perfectly in the spirit of "summer evening casual but chic," Ali Larter opted for a fairly fluid three quarter length. This simple but dainty outfit was accessorized with a simple pair of heeled sandals and a copper-colored pouch, all in snake print. The coat color is bright, smooth and tangy, no need to do too much. The actress has decided to not wear earrings or necklace or bracelet to avoid overloading the figure. The ultimate in effortless elegance.

Black and White Evening Dresses Never Get Wrong
Evening occasions are mainly divided into three categories according to the formality: formal, semi formal, and casual. Different occasions call for different styles of evening dresses. The formality of your evening dress should match well with the evening occasion. Therefore, a lot of ladies are quite confused before they attend the evening parties. They do not know which evening dress they should dress in. Some of them even do not understand whether the occasions they are going to attend are formal or not.
It is impossible to give some detailed information about your evening dress, because I also do not know the nature of your occasion. However, I could offer you a smart tip for choosing evening dress regardless of the formality of the occasion. That is, choosing a black or a white evening gown is never wrong. The timeless looks of black and white evening dresses make them suitable for any occasion. If you are going to a formal evening charity party, a black evening dress or a white evening dress will be OK. If you wear the same dress to an evening cocktail party, it will also be suitable. In a word, black and white evening dresses never get wrong.

DressWe — A Nice Dress Company I met!
I like this dress a lot because people always love surprise and this Dresswe dress is a surprise to me. I used to thought that a dress under $50 is just cloth, no bright color, no good cloth and also no good customer service. But now, so I just chose the dress for my little sister because she will have a perform and does not need a very good dress. So I chose a Dresswe dress under 50 dollors.
Two weeks later when I received it, what a big surprise, the dress is very good!! Far out of my expectation. The diamond on the dress is shining and the cloth feels so good. Besides, three days ago I didn’t receive the package I was a bit worried, so I wrote an email to their customer service department to ask when can I receive my dress. They answer me patiently and give me $3 coupon! Thank you so much DressWe!

What Flat Shoes for What Occasion?
Version relaxed at the beach
Choosing the right shoes to go to the beach is more complicated than it seems. Because the pair of plastic flip-flops that will fully five minutes, putting on pretty barefoot. They are chosen leather, braided, colored or nude and you can even bet on a pair worked with a large flower on the side, for example. Stylistically, no need to make tons, it is still there to sunbathe and have a good time. A long cotton dress, a pair of sunglasses XXL, Monoi, a boater ... Ready to take the plunge!
Version brilliant evening
For a drink with friends or a party, we finally loose on clothes and shoes. Little dress, halter top, peplum skirt, high waisted shorts, you can play it even sexier being flat. A pair of golden brogues, derbies in sequins, moccasins printed funny, colorful boots, it dares all. The thing more? The return legs will be much easier than on the heels of 13 cm.
Cool version of the campaign
Weekend in the country, we do not take the head. Our advice: bet everything on a nice pair of sneakers. If they have long been synonymous with "tired", they are more than ever back in our wardrobes. Squarely in the shot, sneakers are now in all colors and prints available. A boon for us! If you can associate with a pretty floral dress, it is preferred to play the stylish by giving a loose top and pajama pants.

Plus-size Gowns
1. Determine a budget before shopping for a gown. Plus-size gowns are pricier than other sizes because manufacturers charge a higher percentage for more material, beading and lace. As excited as you may be to start shopping, work out your budget first. Avoid trying on gowns outside of your price range because you'll either fall in love with one and be disappointed by every other dress you see (even if they're just as beautiful), or you'll blow your budget.
If you do find yourself pining for a gown that costs more than you can afford, ask the designer if they can limit the beading to the bodice only, and skip embellishment entirely on the skirt or train. Or ask if the dress comes in another fabric that's less expensive.
2. It's normal to wear a bigger size in bridal than you would in everyday clothing. Bridal sizes run smaller than streetwear sizes, aka regular clothes. You’re considered a plus-size bride if you normally wear a size 14 or higher, which would be a size 16 in bridal. Most designers do offer plus sizes, but many stores only carry samples in sizes 8, 10 and 12. Call your local bridal store before you go shopping to ensure that they'll be able to accommodate you.
Trying on the dress you love in your size will eliminate return policy fears — you don't want to get stuck with a dress that doesn’t fit — and help you envision exactly how it'll look on the big day. Check out great sources like Alfred Angelo and David's Bridal (which carries sizes up to 26W). Some designers, like Bonny, also offer collections exclusively for plus-size brides. Whether your dream dress is sweet, sophisticated or dramatic, you're sure to find a gown that flatters your figure.
3. Choose figure-flattering fabrics. Thicker fabrics such as taffeta are ideal for curvy brides because they smooth everything out, creating a streamlined silhouette. Be aware that strapless styles can make shoulders look wider, so consider opting for styles with thicker straps or cap sleeves. Avoid heavily-beaded bodices and appliqués, which can draw attention to areas you’d prefer to minimize.
4. Find the perfect silhouette for your shape. The most important advice for finding a wedding dress is to know your body shape. Top-heavy brides with hourglass figures look great in trumpet silhouettes, whereas an A-line cut is better if you're bottom-heavy, and apple-shaped brides look best in empire dresses or ballgowns.
Just because you're a plus-size bride doesn't mean you can't wear a fitted gown! Look for a style that flares out at the knee, or right above or below it. The perfect dress isn't complete without the right undergarments. We love the Slimplicity Open-Bust Mid-Thigh Bodysuit from Spanx. This shapewear firms the tummy, hips, thighs and rear.

Just because you're a plus-size bride doesn't mean you can't wear a fitted gown! Look for a style that flares out at the knee, or right above or below it. The perfect dress isn't complete without the right undergarments. We love the Slimplicity Open-Bust Mid-Thigh Bodysuit from Spanx. This shapewear firms the tummy, hips, thighs and rear.

Bling Bling Evening Dresses
Every lady wants to be the most shining star in her evening party. How about you? If you also wish to be sparkling, you should dress up yourself elaborately. It is said there is no ugly woman but lazy woman. As long as you spend enough effort on dressing up, you could be a focused star. What you need is not only attractive hairstyle and alluring make-up look, but also an evening dress, a bling bling evening dress.
A bling bling evening dress is the first step for you to catch eyes in the evening party. Try to think that you are wearing a sparkling sequin evening dress, appearing in the evening party. The luxuriant sequins bestrewing the whole dress must dazzle under the colorful light. I believe everyone will turn his head on you. Besides of sequin, you could also resort to shinning embellishments like bead, rhinestone, or even gem and diamond, to create a bling bling evening dress. You may also decorate an ordinary evening dress with intricate jewels, like pearl chain or rhinestone brooch, to add sparkling touch. Wearing such a bling bling evening dress, you must shine brightly under the spotlight.
