Other signs of water depletion include dry lips and tongue, dry-looking skin that has lost its elasticity, increased heart rate and breathing, dizziness and confusion. Signs of salt depletion as well include lethargy, headache, cramps and pallor. In general, it's better to drink plain water than any other fluid, like sports drinks, which contain electrolytes.

About 40 percent of women older than 40 have fibroids, which are noncancerous tumors that grow on or in the uterus. Uterine artery embolization can be performed on an out-patient basis as an alternative to major surgery. During the procedure, tiny polyvinyl particles are injected into the artery that supplies blood to the fibroid until the artery is embolized, or blocked off.
