"I didn't know that!"
The Benzene Ring (a basic chemical structure of most drugs), was discovered in a dream of the inventor, who dreamed of 6 snakes chasing each other -biting each others' tails. When he woke up, he drew it, hence the Benzene Ring. |

| Celebrating Women! Women's History Month |
Growing out of a small-town school event in California, Women's History Month is a celebration of women's contributions to history, culture and society. The United States observes it annually throughout the month of March.
Following are achievements of some of the most ground-breaking women in medicine:
1775 - Mary Ludwig (aka "Molly Pitcher"), from Trenton, NJ, is recognized as a true Revolutionary war hero. Nursing the sick and wounded and fighting in the war herself, she received the nickname Molly Pitcher for delivering water to soldiers.
1849- Elizabeth Blackwell receives her M.D. degree from the Medical Institution of Geneva, N.Y., becoming the first woman in the U.S. with a medical degree
1864 - Rebecca Lee Crumpler becomes the first black woman to receive an M.D. degree. She graduated from the New England Female Medical College.
1866 - Lucy Hobbs becomes the first woman to graduate from dental school, the Ohio College of Dental Surgery
1873 - Ellen Swallow Richards, the first woman to be admitted to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, earns her B.S. degree. She becomes the first female professional chemist in the U.S.
1898 - Madame Marie Curie discovers radioactivity (used in x-rays). She is the world's most famous woman scientist, winning 2 Nobel Prizes
We celebrate women this March, and every day, for their remarkable life achievements! |

Studies have shown that if you consume too much caffeine, it can cause pain in your breasts.
If your breasts hurt consistently every month for a week or so, it could be the caffeine.
Try a simple test. Monitor your breast pain while consuming caffeine and rank it on a scale of 1-10. Then, go on a caffeine "holiday" for that same week of the following month. During the test week of no caffeine, rank your pain levels again, seeing if you notice a difference.
If you notice a difference, it is likely you found the culprit. You then have a decision to make - less pain or more coffee. |
| Healthy Teeth = Healthy Pregnancy |

There is an interesting correlation between pre-term labor and dental disease.
Recent studies have revealed that pregnant women with periodontal disease (infection and inflammation around the teeth and gums) increases the risk for  pre-term delivery.
A visit to your dentist prior to conceiving offers the best opportunity to diagnose and treat the condition, so it is not a factor in your pregnancy. |
| Her Option® Cryoablation Referral Program |
| To spread the word about this breakthrough, exciting procedure, AMS (American Medical Systems) has partnered with The Rubino OB/GYN Group to offer a $200 referral fee to anyone recommending the Her Option Cryoblation Procedure*.
*The procedure must be completed and performed by The Rubino OB/GYN Group prior to fee payment. The referral should use the person's name (that referred them) when booking the procedure to ensure referral payment. |
