Frequent masturbation may help men cut their risk of contracting prostate cancer, Australian researchers have found. It is believed that carcinogens may build up in the prostate if men do not ejaculate regularly, BBC News reported on Wednesday. The researchers surveyed more than 1,000 men who had developed prostate cancer, and 1,250 men who had not. They found that men who had ejaculated the most between the ages of 20 and 50 were the least likely to get cancer. Men who ejaculated more than five times each week were a third less likely to develop prostate cancer.

Sexual intercourse may not have the same effect because of the higher risk of contracting a sexually transmitted disease, which could in turn raise the risk of cancer. "Had we been able to remove ejaculations associated with sexual intercourse, there should have been an even stronger protective effect of ejaculations," Graham Giles of the Cancer Council Victoria, who led the researchers, said in the article.

The prostate produces a fluid that is incorporated into ejaculation, which activates sperm and prevents them from sticking together. Studies on animals have shown that carcinogens like 3-methylchloranthrene can be harbored in the prostate. Frequent ejaculation encourages the cancer-inducing fluids to "flush out." (The Advocate)

The money found hidden inside walls, suitcases and closets in one of Mexico City’s wealthiest neighborhoods came from the profits of methamphetamines sold in the United States, [DEA chief Karen Tandy] said.

Mexican law enforcement and the DEA worked for a year on the operation, she said.

Mexican federal agents also seized eight luxury vehicles, seven weapons and a pill-making machine during the raid in Lomas de Chapultepec, a neighborhood of walled compounds that is home to ambassadors and business magnates. Seven people were arrested and were ordered Monday to be held for three months while the investigation continues.

In addition to the dollars, officials found 200,000 euros and 157,500 pesos.

Mexican Attorney General Eduardo Medina Mora said the money was connected to one of the hemisphere’s largest networks for trafficking pseudoephedrine, the main ingredient in methamphetamines.

Mora said the ring had been operating since 2004 and was run by a native of China who had gained Mexican citizenship. The alleged gang leader is in hiding, possibly outside of the country, Medina Mora said.

The operation should reduce the supply of methamphetamine to the United States, where Mexican drug gangs control at least 80 percent of the market, Tandy said.

Surgeon’s lawyer says more names to be revealed, bares fate of student
By Nancy R. Cudis
Sun.Star Staff Reporter

AMID calls for sanctions on the team that performed the now controversial operation, Cebu Gov. Gwen-dolyn Garcia is renewing her call for Capitol to take over the primary and secondary services of the Vicente Sotto Memorial Medical Center (VSMMC).

And this time, she said the Capitol can take responsibility for the hospital’s tertiary first level services as well.

“If the Province will handle this, at least our constituents will be given better treatment because I see to it that they will be treated humanely,” she said, adding that the Local Government Code specifically provides that these services should be handled by the Provincial Government.

The governor said she has heard “so many horror stories from our constituents from the south of how rudely they were treated by (VSMMC) personnel.”

“These questionable goings-on involve primary and secondary services. You connect the dots and figure it out…This highlights the fact that indeed there is a need for radical change, especially in the attitude and delivery of services of VSMMC,” said Garcia.

Capitol’s proposal to take over the hospital’s primary and secondary services was first brought up in 2006, when the Department of Health (DOH) made the offer. No agreement was reached, however, after DOH officials later withdrew their offer.

Garcia said Capitol is willing to discuss all issues so the provincial government could assume responsibility in handling primary and secondary services “primarily for the good of our constituents.”

Rude treatment

“If this person (Jan-Jan) was humiliated by the behavior of this surgeon and nurses of that incident, let me tell you that our constituents undergo the same rude treatment,” said Garcia.

As this developed, Dr. Philips Leo Arias, whom the health department identified as the head surgeon in the Jan. 3 surgery of a 39-year-old patient at the VSMMC, aired his side yesterday through lawyer Merlo Bagano.

The patient, a florist from Barangay Basak-Pardo, Cebu City, underwent a procedure to remove a body spray canister that got stuck in his rectum through a male sex partner. The operation was captured on camera and uploaded to YouTube, a video sharing website.

Arias was identified as part of the medical team attending to Jan-Jan, the patient, along with Dr. Angelo Alinawagan, assistant surgeon; Dr. Max Joseph Montecillo, surgeon assigned in an adjacent operating room; Rosemarie Villareal, nursing attendant; and Carmiña Sapio, circulating nurse.

In a radio dyAB interview, Bagano said Arias has always been professional and did not make fun during the operation.

In the video, the surgeon could be heard giving out instructions. But Bagano said it wasn’t Arias who called the canister as “baby.”

The lawyer also said that the emergency operating room was at first only confined to the medical team involved. Then other persons started coming in and making noise behind the doctor.

The video captured people giggling, jeering, and cheering before and after the canister was taken out.

‘Relieved’

Bagano said that Arias’ act of laughing was “merely an expression of relief.”

He said there was still a “high-ranking official” in the operating room at that time, whom Arias could not identify yet.

Eventually, as the joint investigation of VSMMC and DOH continues, more names will be added to the list, the lawyer said.

VSMMC media liaison officer Dr. Emmanuel Gines said Arias is a resident surgeon under training in the Department of Surgery.

He explained that a resident physician has an on-call consultant or senior doctor for every case.

“The case is presented to the consultant. A resident doctor is supervised but it is not necessary that a consultant has to be present in the operating room especially if the consultant is confident on the skills of the doctor. But before every case, a consultant and a resident doctor meets to discuss,” he said.

He, however, could not answer if there were consultants during Jan-Jan’s operation. But he assured that there was a discussion of the case between the doctor and the consultant before the operation. He added that a consultant is part of the hospital’s fact-finding committee.

Bagano also said that Arias had assured the patient that the video taken during the operation would remain confidential. When he saw it was uploaded to YouTube, he
immediately approached VSMMC administration and asked them to investigate.

VSMMC, in a press briefing earlier, said they did not take the incident lightly and immediately created a fact-finding committee even without receiving a formal complaint.

Security reasons

Bagano said they hope the public will understand that for security reasons, Arias chose to remain quiet. He was set to meet the Arias family yesterday to discuss the case.

In a separate interview with dyLA, Bagano said a student of Gullas School of Medicine uploaded the video to YouTube and the student was not able to graduate because of the incident.

Health Secretary Francisco Duque, in a GMANews.TV report, said they will use the video in the filing of charges.

“But we have to determine first the specific liability of each respondent,” he said.

Commission on Higher Education (Ched) 7 Director Enrique Grecia, for his part, asked that the student not be blamed as he was only “misguided.”

Still, it is up to the school to give due process to the student before imposing sanctions.

“I suggest that the hospital revisit the operating room policies. Probably, they need to prepare a new set. I believe that the curriculum of nursing program is enough for the nurses and doctors to be qualified,” he said in a TV Patrol News report.

Meanwhile, Cebu City Mayor Tomas Osmeña, in an ABS-CBN TV Patrol report, called for the cancellation of the licenses of the medical team.

The Integrated Bar of the Philippine Cebu chapter also called for an investigation of the person who inserted the canister into Jan-Jan’s rectum. The group said he should also be sanctioned.

Ched’s technical committee on nursing education chairperson Dr. Maria Teresita Sinda, meanwhgile, suggested the revocation of the license of the clinical instructor (CI) of the student nurse who uploaded the video.

Ched will wait for the action of the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC). PRC, for its part, is waiting for a formal complaint on the case before it can investigate.

Seeing there was clear violation of the code of ethics, the PRC said that sanctions for misconduct could range from suspension to revocation of licenses. (With GMD)

Calayan couple faces P26M suit over cosmetic surgery (4:45 p.m.)

MANILA -- A naturalized American citizen has filed a P26-million suit against cosmetic surgeons Manny and Pie Calayan before the Makati City Prosecutor's Office (MCPO) over a phalloplasty surgery that appeared to have gone awry.

Louem Martinez, 34, currently engaged to a Filipina, complained that he is now "physically incapacitated" and "mentally devastated" as he could no longer perform sexual acts because of constant pain in his deformed sexual organ and scrotum.

Aside from the civil damages, Martinez also filed criminal cases of reckless imprudence resulting in serious physical injury and obstruction of justice against the Calayan couple, who owns and operates the Calayan Surgicenter in Legaspi Village, Makati.

In his complaint before Assistant City Prosecutor Dennis Raja, Martinez said he was working in the US when he got to know the Calayan Surgicenter through its website last year.

He then got interested in the "Penile Enlargement/Thickening and Lengthening Services" the Calayans were offering, so he went to Manila in March last year to check it out.

During personal consultations with Manny, Martinez said the surgeon assured him of his expertise in such operation, which he boasted to have been performing at the rate of two operations per month with the use of a chemical called aqua gel.

Further, Manny told Martinez that his "penis enlargement/widening" operation would enlarge, widen and lengthen the penis without any deformity, sagging, bumps and without any side effect. (AH/Sunnex)

Priest defends medical team in surgical scandal (4:50 p.m.)

MANILA -- A church official on Wednesday rushed to the side of the doctors and nurses involved in the surgery scandal in Cebu City.

Monsignor Achilles Dakay, spokesman of the archdiocese of Cebu, said the scandal that happened at the Vicente Sotto Memorial Medical Center (VSMMC) should not be blamed solely on the doctors and nurses but it should be the person responsible for the indecent incident.

“They seem to forget the whole thing. They are blaming the doctors for what they do but I think they should blame the guy for what he did,” Dakay said.

He also admitted that the incident also indicated the weakening moral guidance among the Cebuanos and the spreading homosexuality in the province.

“We would like to feel sorry for what’s happening here and maybe we could be partly to be blamed for it,” he lamented.

The prelate said the Catholic Church sympathized with the homosexuals because they did not choose to be that, but committing homosexual acts would be “another thing”. (MSN/Sunnex)

Duque names doctors in surgical scam
By Nancy R. Cudis

MANILA -- The Department of Health (DOH) finally named on Tuesday three doctors, a nurse, and a nursing attendant involved in the January 3 surgery of a florist at the Vicente Sotto Memorial Medical Center (VSMMC).

The procedure to remove a body spray canister from the 39-year-old patient's rectum was captured on camera and uploaded to YouTube, a video-sharing site.

Arroyo Watch: Sun.Star blog on President Arroyo

DOH Secretary Francisco Duque identified the doctors and nurses as Dr. Philips Leo Arias, head surgeon; Dr. Angelo Alinawagan, assistant surgeon; Dr. Max Joseph Montecillo, who is assigned to an adjacent operating room; nursing attendant Rosemarie Villareal; and circulating nurse Carmina Sapio.

In a press conference on Tuesday morning, Duque clarified that formal charges have not yet been filed against the doctors and nurses.

He said his office still has to send a show-cause letter, asking them to explain why they should not be charged.

In four to five days, a DOH central office lawyer will personally hand the letter to the five personnel through the VSMMC administration.

Their answers to the letter will be evaluated, while a formal investigation will be done jointly by the hospital and the DOH.

The investigation will include assessment of the gravity of offenses committed and the corresponding sanctions, before formal administrative charges can be filed.

Duque, however, said they still have to identify the person who posted the video clip on YouTube.

The video shows more than 10 people in an operating room shouting, giggling, and jeering, especially after the canister was removed.

One of the medical staff even opened the canister and sprayed it around.

The video also captured several individuals taking footage of the operation using cellular phones.

The patient, who wanted to be identified only as Jan-Jan, was unconscious all that time.

The controversy started when the video was uploaded to YouTube, reportedly by a nursing student, and shared through mobile phones, prompting the VSMMC to investigate.

The hospital's fact-finding committee found just three doctors and a nurse as the ones involved.

It recommended that an administrative complaint be filed against them for possible violation of provisions of Republic Act (RA) 6713 or the Code of Conduct and Ethical Standards for Public Officials and Employees.

The hospital also issued a "stern warning" to one doctor and three nurses and advised them to be more cautious in performing their duties as supervisors.

The DOH in Central Visayas, which conducted its own inquiry, likewise pointed at the three doctors and the nurse as the ones who should be investigated.

It sent a copy of its own report to Duque last Monday.

But in an ANC report, Duque told a press conference that another nurse was involved. He said more than 10 people were actually in the operating room, including students, consultants and trainees.

He said the names of the others might be added to the list of who should be charged after the preliminary investigation, which may take a month to complete.

While he considered the case as isolated and commended the medical team for a successful and well-performed operation, he said the DOH will not tolerate their behavior.

"It could have been a very good and ideal case for people who would like to learn alternative procedures. It could have been a commendable operation but the plus factor was lost because of the issue," he said.

He pointed out the violations: not confining the room to the medical team involved; not prohibiting the use of cellular phones while an operation was ongoing; taking footage without the patient's consent; and lack of respect for the patient, as manifested by the jeering, laughing, and cheering captured by the video.

"Obviously there was a bridge of protocol," Duque said.

Duque added that the head surgeon, being the "captain of the ship," should have ensured that protocol was followed.

He said the DOH can only file administrative complaints and impose sanctions ranging from suspension to dismissal from government service.

Criminal complaints can be filed before the Office of the Ombudsman, he added, while the Professional Regulation Commission can look into the matter once the agency receives the complaint.

The PRC can reprimand those involved or even suspend or revoke their licenses.

"There is no whitewash (in our fact-finding). There is no such thing in our vocabulary. The patient should not worry. We will make sure that necessary penalties or sanctions are meted (out). But we have to understand that (the five medical staff) are presumed innocent until proven guilty, and not the other way around," Duque said in a radio dyLA interview.

He also requested that the competence and credibility of the attending medical team should not be confused with the "insensitive" behavior committed during the operation.

Dr. Jucel Ann Jumao-as, Philippine Nurses Association (PNA) Cebu chapter public relations officer, agreed with Duque and urged the public to look at both sides of the story.

"The doctors and nurses did good in the operation and in past operations. The call for revocation of their licenses is too much, as their licenses are what feed their families. While an operation should not be treated as a circus, we should also look at the circumstances on how and why the patient got into that situation," she said.

Apart from the DOH's preliminary investigation, the House of Representatives' committees on professional regulation and civil, political, and human rights were also asked to conduct a joint inquiry, in aid of legislation.

Akbayan party-list Representative Risa Baraquel, deputy minority floor leader, submitted a resolution asking for an inquiry yesterday afternoon, and it was approved.

"The condemnable conduct of the doctors, nurses, interns, and medical attendants involved in the incident displayed a blatant disregard for human dignity and human rights," she said.

Baraquel also asked that Congress exercise its oversight and legislative powers "to contribute to the efforts to stop the burden of oppression and stigma carried by the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender community."

She believes that the incident required legislative intervention "to imbibe and deepen the principles of human rights and human dignity among medical professionals, nurses, and nursing students."

Sun.Star Cebu tried but failed to get a reaction from Dr. Gerardo Aquino, VSMMC chief, who was reportedly attending to a family emergency.

A lawyer, who said he represented the nurses and doctors, said his clients will call for a press conference anytime soon to answer the issues raised against them.

A woman, who identified herself as mother of Dr. Arias, also called Sun.Star Cebu and said her 29-year-old son is willing to answer the charges when the case is brought to court.

She said they have three lawyers handling the matter.

She also told radio dyLA that Arias was innocent and not "demoralized" by the incident.

She admitted, though, that the family is hurt and worried why the son she raised well is accused of misconduct. She called it unfair for her son to be included since there were consultants supervising the operation.

The woman also appealed to members of the media, especially radio commentators, not to make conclusions about her son's capacity as a doctor just because of the incident.

Dr. Arias, she said, is generous, attending to calls even at night and giving out free medicines.

Dr. Arias, who got married just last year, spent three years as a VSMMC resident doctor after graduating from a reputable Cebu City university.

Meanwhile, Jan-Jan, a Basak Pardo, Cebu City resident, is "happy" that the identities of the doctors and nurses are now made public as it would not just strengthen his complaint but also hasten its resolution.

"Jan-Jan is grateful for the way the doctors and nurses saved his life by taking the canister out. But he is not appreciative of the way they behaved," said Barangay Captain Dave Tumulak, who is helping him.

Jan-Jan's camp is pursuing civil action for damages against the doctors and nurses this week, and will file a separate complaint with the PRC. (With CYR of Sun.Star Cebu/MSN/Sunnex)
