Half Of Romanian Women Diagnosed With Uterine Fibroids
Statistical data show that currently, more than half of Romanian women aged 21 to 49 who see a gynecologist are diagnosed with uterine fibroids.
One of the effective treatments for uterine fibroids is the non-surgical procedure of uterine embolization, with technical success rates of 98%.
Fibroids are the most common benign tumors in females and typically found during the middle and later reproductive years. While most fibroids are asymptomatic, they can grow and cause heavy and painful menstruation, painful sexual intercourse, urinary frequency and urgency. Some fibroids may interfere with pregnancy although this appears to be very rare. (Romania Libera)
Agrostar Recommends Farmers To Team Up In Powerful Associations
Romanian agriculture union federation Agrostar recommends farmers to team up in powerful associations because the planned removal of EU milk quota system, which limits production for every country and producer starting April 1, spells disaster for small producers and the Romanian market.
“The planned elimination of EU milk quota will spell disaster for small producers in Romania which will be flooded with milk from other EU countries with remarkable results in this field. Let’s not forget that many years ago the milk quota was introduced because countries like France, Germany, The Netherlands etc. used to obtain large milk productions which distorted the market,” Agrostar secretary general Horatiu Raicu said.
He added that farmers must be well informed in order to know what to expect and the solution is to team up in powerful associations.” (Romania Libera)
BCR: State Must Prove New Energy Units Are Necessary Before It Starts Building
Romania’s energy sector could be strengthened through mergers and acquisitions around large power producers and state companies must prove new units are necessary before they start building them, said BCR chief economist Radu Craciun.
“Investors will look at the energy strategy critically and carefully. As the stakes are high, the strategy has to be carefully drafted. Are Tarnita and two more nuclear reactors that strategic? Let’s not get ahead of ourselves. It needs to be proven that we need them. Will consumption really increase that much?” Craciun said at a conference Monday.
He said the evolution of domestic and external consumption, considering Romania exports energy in the region, should be analyzed before deciding to build new production units.
“We can’t start building new production units based on such volatile estimates,” said Craciun.
A study by BCR shows there is major need for investments to upgrade existing energy units, such as the first nuclear reactor of the plant in Cernavoda, a series of hydropower plants and new coal-fired units. (Adevarul)
