While it’s known that getting clothes that properly fit you will solve almost all of your problems with style, jeans haven’t been looked at as much compared to shirts or jackets.

Because not all jeans are one-size-fits-all, it’s important to look at the different styles and cuts that denim and khaki jeans come in as well as the waist sizes and the types of rise.

Here are a few guidelines you can follow when it comes to choosing jeans that properly fit:

Fit and Cut
Ideally, your jeans should be slim in the thigh, and tapered downwards from the knee, and should fit the waist without you having to wear a belt. Going with a small taper in the leg will keep you from having to put up with a bell-bottom look.

As much as possible, avoid the boot-cut – your best go-to option is either straight-leg or slimmer. You want a good pair that hugs your legs and seat but doesn’t keep you from sitting down or standing up comfortably.

Waist
Casual pants should fasten easily and without any difficulty at all, while at the same time tight enough that it doesn’t simply fall off your hips.

Keep in mind that your size may not always be your true size. Depending on the brand you’re buying, the size of the pants you’re wearing may either be a little too tight or too loose. The best way to know your true size is by measuring your waist with a tailor’s tape.

Length and Leg Opening
The length and break of your jeans depends on your preference – whether you want your jeans a little shorter or long enough that you don’t want other people to see your socks is up to you.

When it comes to the leg opening, the style will usually determine it. “Straight fit” casual jeans will often have one width measurement from the knee down, while tapered fit jeans will have pant legs that taper from the knee down.

You can have your pants tailored to slim the legs down to your size, but doing so might be more expensive for you than buying a new pair.

Rise
The rise is essentially the measurement starting from the seam of the crotch to the top of the waistband and is often the biggest factor that determines how comfortable your pants are when you put them on. Keep in mind that the front rise is different from the back rise.

While body shapes differ from person to person, there are three general types of rise: low-rise, which sits a few inches below your belly button, mid-rise, which has a front-rise measurement of about eight to twelve inches, and high-rise, which hits your belly button or simply covers it completely.

Leukemia is one of the most common childhood cancers that causes production of abnormal white blood cells. There are various types of leukemia, however, and they are not only limited to children.

Leukemia Basics
Leukemia is essentially a type of cancer that affects the blood or blood cells. Unfortunately, there is no known cause of leukemia, although researchers point out factors that will increase the risk of developing the illness such as genes and exposure to chemicals or radiation. Leukemia affects either the myelocytes or the lymphocytes in the blood, and can occur suddenly or develop slowly over time. There is no way to prevent leukemia and the chance or recovery will depend on the type, the severity of the illness, and the age of the person.

Some symptoms of leukemia may include swollen lymph nodes, bone and joint pain, night sweats, fever, fatigue, weight loss, bruising, bleeding, frequent infections, abdominal swelling and pain (because of an enlarged liver or spleen), red spots on the skin, and purple patches on the skin.

There are various types of leukemia based on the development of the illness and the types of blood cells that are affected.

Types of Leukemia
There are four categories of leukemia to date, such as the following:

The lymphoblastic types of leukemia primarily affect the immature white blood cells or lymphoblasts, while the word myelocyte refers to the bone marrow cells such as white blood cells, red blood cells, and megakaryocytes. Myelocytic leukemia therefore begins in the bone marrow where the new blood cells are formed.

Acute leukemia is characterized by the presence of immature blood cells that grow and divide fast, while chronic leukemia affects mature but abnormal cells. These cells cannot fight off infections and the person will not feel the effects for a long time.

Childhood Leukemia
Although not all leukemia cases are hereditary, a child will most likely develop it if he/she has an inherited disorder, immune system disorder or suppression, and has been exposed to high levels of chemicals or radiation.

Some of the symptoms include fatigue, frequent infections and fever, bleeding, bruising, shortness of breath, joint or bone pain, swollen parts of the body specifically the collarbone, weight loss, gum problems, headaches, seizures, and vision problems.

Before any treatment can be given, a proper diagnosis must determine the type of leukemia a child has. Some test may include blood tests, biopsy or aspiration of the bone marrow, and spinal tap.

Treatments for Leukemia
To treat acute lymphoblastic leukemia, the following may be recommended: chemotherapy, corticosteroids, stem cell transplant, radiation therapy, and tyrosine kinase inhibitor.

For acute myelogenous leukemia, the following are recommended: chemotherapy, stem cells transplant, and other medications.

For chronic lymphocytic leukemia, the following may be advised: chemotherapy, radiation therapy, antibiotics, and medication for infections or complications.

For chronic myelogenous leukemia, the following are recommended: stem cell transplant, targeted therapy, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and tyrosine kinase inhibitor.
