Serious health hazards of breast implants--don't get it--no man is worth it, no woman either.
AI Overview
Learn more…
Silicone breast implants can pose a number of health hazards, including:
Silent rupture
A tear or hole in the implant that goes unnoticed because the silicone leaks into nearby tissue. This can cause the tissue to become irritated and scar, which can lead to changes in breast shape or size, lumps, or pain.
Capsular contracture
A painful condition where the tissue around the implant hardens and squeezes the implant.
Breast Implant Illness (BII)
A systemic condition that can cause a range of symptoms, including anxiety, depression, brain fog, chronic fatigue, dry mouth and eyes, hair loss, headaches, joint or muscle pain, and rashes.
Breast implant-associated squamous cell carcinoma (BIA-SCC)
A rare but potentially aggressive tumor that can appear in the scar tissue around the implant.
Breast implant associated-anaplastic large cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL)
An immune system cancer associated with textured implants.
Other risks of breast implants include:
Pain
Infection
Changes in nipple and breast feeling
Additional surgeries
Calcification or calcium deposits
Chest wall deformity
Delayed wound healing
Extrusion
Hematoma

Archaeologist defends his conclusion it was Alexander the Great's tunic (fragment) he found.
look at the original article in Journal of Archaeology--it was a layered fabric, not "stripes."

Though how he could have "worn it every day"--on campaign is a bit much.
Alexander led a very streneous life, most of it in hot to very hot climates, such as the Mediterrnean regions, Egypt, India, and through the Gedrosian desert on foot, to Babylon (Baghdad) where he died, some say of West Nile Virus.

Hephaestion (and Bogaos) are 2 of my favorites --as portrayed by Mary Renault--
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hephaestion
They were the closest to Aleaxander and the most sensitive--as narrators--in Mary Renault's novels.
Hephaestion is portrayed by 2 different actors in the Indian TV series--Porus.
Alexander suffered a full-scale mental breakdown after Hephaestion died suddenly--of typhoid fever, Renault suggests.
Alexander lay over the corpse for days and had to be dragged away.
Mary Renault's novels--she was gay herself--and thus able to write "the homosexual side"

The Persian Boy is exceptional.
Alexander "inherited" Bogaos, who was Darius' "Persian Boy."
He figures prominantly Funeral Games--at the death of Alexander in Babylon.
Royal Tombs--Philip of Macedon--in Vergina, Greece--
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Museum_of_the_Royal_Tombs_of_Aigai_(Vergina)
You should read all of Mary Renault's Alexander the Great novels and one nonfiction book too.
