Events seem to be shaping up for a major confrontation between Israel and its various Muslim enemies. Hizbullah now has three times as many missiles in Lebanon as it did at the start of the war in 2006. Hamas is challenging Abu Mazen and continues to launch rocket attacks from Gaza. Some reports claim that Iran will have at least a few nukes operational before the end of next year.So something is going to blow before too long.Thanks to AA, C.

Herpes -The Numbers Are In - (USA)
Herpes -The Numbers Are In by Harold Ulvaeus Genital Herpes, having a bit of social stigma attached to it, may not be something openly discussed. The truth is that Herpes is much more common than most people think. Being diagnosed with Genital Herpes can be a real shock for many. Emotions of feeling unclean, shame, and less worthy are common. If you have been diagnosed with genital herpes, or suspect that you are infected, you have a lot more company than you may suspect. Take a look at some

I Don’t Know What Bacterial Vaginosis is - (USA)
So what is Bacterial Vaginosis ? This is one of these conditions that all women would hate to have. Although no woman would like to admit it, but most of us has suffered with this at some point. It is not really a condition that presents any real danger, but having it can increase the risks of sexually transmitted diseases and potential yeast infections.

Health Effects of Domestic Violence - (USA)
The effects of violence on a victim's health are severe. In addition to the immediate injuries from the assault, battered women may suffer from chronic pain, gastrointestinal disorders, psychosomatic symptoms, and eating problems.

Is more religion the answer for Papua New Guinea? - (USA)
This is a question that many Papua New Guineans would automatically assume that they know the answer to. Let’s investigate this question a little further. The issues in this country are very complex and finding effective solutions to these problems, in my humble opinion, will never be as simple as just saying this country needs more god or religion. In fact, I would go so far to say that if religion was the answer to PNG’s woes then Papua New Guinea would already have reached a status of Sup

Rethinking AIDS in Africa: Why prevention is now more important than ever - (USA)
Prevention is a word that draws considerable controversy among AIDS experts. Billions of dollars have been poured into treatment programs and vaccine research, but prevention strategies – things like condoms, education, and clean needle exchanges – rarely receive comparable attention. Prevention does not require vast research capabilities. Its success is not dependent on feats of technical ingenuity such as refrigeration in remote, off-grid villages. But in Africa, prevention has nonetheless ba

WHY ARE AMERICANS OBSESSED WITH THE FEMALE NIPPLE? - (USA)
Perhaps living and studying in Europe on a number of occasions changed my perspective, but I cannot understand the silly outrage that many Americans show when some female displays her nipples, or other parts of her anatomy that are supposed to be off-limits. Contrarily the displays of male genitalia and buttocks are more often treated as comic relief. Public or private nudity does not pose a threat to American values and morality. Too many Americans have an unhealthy and uncomfortable attitu

More on Infertility Sperm Donation - (USA)
by Amanda Gamdana Sperm donation is the practice by which a man donates his semen to be used specifically to produce a baby for another couple who he may or may not know. Any man who does this is called a sperm donor and the place that it is checked and stored for future use is termed a sperm bank. While sperm is usually donated anonymously each country has its own laws on the privacy of the act and may only allow the use of sperm from one man for a set number of conceptions. When a sperm do

Sexual Violence: Fact Sheet - (USA)
OCCURRENCE Of all crimes, rape is one of the most underreported, making it difficult to count (Bachar and Koss 2001). The National Women’s Study found that 84% of women did not report their rapes to police (Kilpatrick, Edmunds, and Seymour 1992).The National Violence Against Women Survey estimated that 302,091 women and 92,748 men were raped in the 12 months prior to the survey administration.

Making Humans More Like Monkeys - With A Natural Resistance To AIDS - (USA)
I think basically what they are saying is that monkey's have DNA that gives them a natural resistance to AIDS. They tested to see if humans had the same gene and found it but under junk DNA (DNA which was turned off sometime in our history). So they needed a way to turn this junk on, and they found a drug to do it. Reawakening Retrocyclins: Ancestral Human Defensins Active Against HIV-1 Nitya Venkataraman 1 , Amy L.

Limiting Crestor - (USA)
In a previous post, DrRich wrote about the JUPITER trial, the controversial clinical trial (so controversial that even Stephen Colbert did a riff on it) which showed that the (extraordinarily expensive) statin drug Crestor significantly and substantially reduced the risk of heart attack, stroke and death in people who had normal cholesterol but high CRP levels. While many prominent medical figures have defended the JUPITER trial as being well-designed, well-conducted, and productive of very co

The dependence of religion on dysfunctional societies - (USA)
This is a timely new study by Gregory Paul. Back in 2005, he published a controversial paper showing that religious societies seem to be more dysfunctional. In a paper just published on Evolutionary Psychology he takes this argument a stage further and adds a bit of statistical rigour. The cornerstone of the paper is the 'Successful Societies Scale", which is constructed from 25 separate indicators - things like murder and suicide rates, prison population, mortality, sexually transmitted di
