 A bra may have saved a woman’s life in a hunting accident in northeastern Germany. The 41-year-old tourist from North Rhine-Westphalia survived being accidentally shot thanks to her bra, which miraculously stopped the bullet, local media reported. The woman was on a bike ride with her husband when the incident happened in Mecklenberg-Western Pomerania, German daily Gadebusch-Rehnaer Zeitung reported. The couple were crossing a field between the towns of Gadebusch and Köchelstor when they unknowingly found themselves in the area of a boar hunt. The woman’s husband reportedly spotted the alleged shooter in a neighboring farm and approached him to explain what had happened. “Those in charge of the hunt then immediately broke it up,” police spokesperson André Falke told the newspaper. Investigators have already identified the man. Gadebusch Criminal Commision is investigating the incident on allegations of injury caused by negligence. In 2008, a bullet fired by a companion during a boar hunt hit a 50-year-old hunter in Mecklenburg, northern Germany. The man died, Gadebusch-Rehnaer Zeitung reported.

 Cancer-detecting dogs are to participate in a trial at a UK hospital, after showing off their amazing ability to identify the of prostate tumors – getting the right answer in 93 percent of cases, according to a recent study. The trial, a brainchild of the charity Medical Detection Dogs, has been approved by Milton Keynes University Hospital to conduct further research on the special dogs, which have been trained to detect prostate tumors in urine. The traditional Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) blood test is used to reveal the need for a biopsy, but it has a high “false positive” rate. Canine testing could help avoid the procedure. “Over the years there have been many anecdotal reports suggesting that dogs may be able to detect cancer based on the tumor’s odor. It is assumed that volatile molecules associated with the tumor would be released into the person’s urine, making samples easy to collect and test,” Iqbal Anjum, a consultant urologist at the hospital, told The Independent. The three-year-long trial is set to provide nine dogs with urine samples from 3,000 hospital patients. In accordance with national research, the results of their “analysis” will be compared with traditional testing in order to estimate the efficiency of the untraditional approach. One of the founders of Medical Detection Dogs, Claire Guest, was been lucky to have been saved by her own dog. In 2009, her pet Daisy made her realize that she was suffering from breast cancer by unexpectedly starting to push her in the chest. “Our dogs have higher rates of reliability than most of the existing tests. We know their sense of smell is extraordinary. They can detect parts per trillion – that’s the equivalent of one drop of blood in two Olympic-sized swimming pools,” Claire Guest told The Press Association. “Britain has one of the worst rates of early cancer detection in Europe. The NHS needs to be bolder about introducing new innovative methods to detect cancer in its early stages,” she added. “We should not be turning our backs on these highly sensitive bio-detectors just because they have furry coats.” Similar studies outside the UK also have shown positive results, as last year the success rate in an Italian experiment on 677 samples was 98 percent. Medical Detection Dogs has reported about 93 percent accuracy. Prostate cancer is the most common form of cancer in American and British men after skin cancer with over 41,700 cases in the UK in 2011.
