RIYADH – Saudi Arabia has allowed adult women to travel without permission and granted them more control over family matters, further eroding a heavily criticized male guardianship system at a time of heightened scrutiny over its human rights record.

The decisions issued in a series of royal decrees published by the official gazette on Friday stipulate that a Saudi passport should be issued to any citizen that applies for it and that any person above the age of 21 does not need permission to travel.The amendments to regulations also grant women for the first time the right to register child birth, marriage or divorce and to be issued official family documents and be eligible as a guardian to children who are minors

These results contradict recommendations in current clinical guidelines, note the authors. In addition, the findings are contrary to their own clinical experience, they add, inasmuch as they have seen patients with breast cancer–related lymphedema (BCRL) whose lymphedema symptoms improved after they lost weight. “Current guidelines from the National Cancer Institute, the American Cancer Institute, National Lymphedema Network, and others tell overweight women with breast cancer lymphedema that weight loss will help their condition,” commented lead author Kathryn H. Schmitz, PhD, MPH, professor, Department of Public Health Sciences, Penn State College of Medicine, in Hershey. “Our trial is definitive — weight loss does not help with symptoms or ...

NeNe Leakes is revealing the secrets to her impressive 12-pound weight loss and opening up about how much more weight she’s hoping to drop. The outspoken Real Housewives of Atlanta star has had fans speculating that she’s been getting healthier and dropping the pounds after looking slimmer than ever on social media recently, and now she’s confirming that she actually didn’t do “anything crazy” to get her new body. “I really want to lose 20 pounds,” Leakes told Hollywood Life recently when asked about her recent weight loss. “I’m very tall. I’m almost 5’11 and I can carry my weight a lot different than somebody who’s shorter than me, so me losing 12 pounds makes me feel like I’ve lost like, 5.” The stunning RHOA star – who said she’s aiming to go from a size 10 to a size eight before the end of the year – then shared how she got in better shape alongside her husband Gregg Leakes, who recently beat colon cancer.
