As top experts acknowledge that the rise of deadly disease has baffled young women and girls, alarming over 20% rise in pancreatic cancer in young women and girls

www.dailymail.co.uk, February 23, 2024
Cancer experts have been encouraged to publish more research into a 'frightening' rise in pancreatic cancer rates in younger women, with the incidence up by more than 50% since the 1990s. Overall, incidences of the disease, which has a five-year survival rate of just 5 percent, have increased by around 17 percent over the same period, with increasing obesity rates suspected to be behind the trend. On the other hand, oncologists are unable to explain the particular rise in young women, with no such rise in men of the same age. According to MailOnline, Professor Karol Sikora, a world-renowned oncologist with more than 40 years, there are theories that have to do with the modern diet. However, so far, analysts haven't a clue' about the 'frightening' trend, especially among young women. 'It has to do with diet change over the past 20 years,' he said. Thankfully, pancreatic cancer is uncommon in young people, but it is nonetheless worrying.' We're not sure we have all the answers,' it says.' He added that Britain wasn't alone in this trend, with studies from the United States finding similar rises in the disease throughout the Atlantic, and that more research was needed to determine the source. Nicola Smith, senior health information manager at Cancer Research UK, said more research was required to determine why pancreatic cancer rates in the United Kingdom were increasing. The number of 'pancreatic cancer cases in the United Kingdom is on the rise, and we've seen a small rise in the number of young women being diagnosed.' 'More study is now required to fully understand why this is happening.' Pancreatic cancer kills about 10,000 British people every year, with subtle signs that may not be apparent in its final stages. Becki Buggs (top right), 45, who was one of the few patients whose cancer was detected early enough for surgery, was one of the rare survivors of the disease.

The ugly sandals that beat the fashion world and a dark family past: Birkenstock's debut in a stock market debut, according to DailyMail.com, a very fascinating past

www.dailymail.co.uk, October 14, 2023
'Ugly' was always shorthand,' Birkenstock said.' Even Kate Moss couldn't drag the orthopedic eyeores out of the sartorial wilderness when she wore two of the sandals in a 1990 fashion campaign and was largely mocked. Then unexpectedly, the 250-year-old family-run German brand received a full overnight luxury makeover, as - quel chère - Celine creative director Phoebe Philo sent a fur-lined version down the catwalk at Paris fashion week. Vogue celebrated Philo's outlandish boots - and, eventually, other high-end collaborations followed soon. Birkenstock's meteoric march from geek to chic appears to be over, a decade after the company's stock market debut on Wednesday. The first day of trading was disappointing, with stocks down 12 percent and a closing market valuation of $7.5 billion. Nonetheless, the sale is still a remarkable feat for a brand that, as DailyMail.com can now exclusively reveal, has faced much more significant obstacles than the fashion industry's mockery.

Margot Fraser, a German medical pioneer who died in 2017 at the age of 88, converted the Birkenstock brand from a German medical solution to a global fashion trend.

She was so impressed with the sandals' effect on her foot pain that she called Karl Birkenstock to ask that he buy his magical shoes. After failing to please shoe-buyers with what some have dubbed the 'ugly' sandals, a friend of Margot suggested that she set up a stall for the sandals at a health-food convention in San Francisco. She did, and Fraser said that the store owners who had initially dismissed her idea were soon begging for a pair.
