Economic factors, including competition from generic drugs, is hitting even the big pharmaceutical companies hard, reports Nature. In 2010, Pfizer's Lipitor enters the public domain. For these reasons, the larger companies are narrowing the focus of their research, hitting fewer diseases. They're also working on fewer primary care drugs and more drugs that would be prescribed by specialists, such as cancer drugs.
"When Wyeth Pharmaceuticals announced last week that it would cut some of its research and development (R&D) programs in women's health, the decision seemed counterintuitive

Weight gain and moodiness top the list of the unpleasant side effects of birth control pills. But could the pill also desensitize a woman's sniffer? New research suggests that oral contraceptives can reduce a woman's ability to smell the best mate. Although birth control can't be blamed for every bad relationship, the findings could help explain how people find their ideal love.
Most guys splash on a little cologne before a first date, but past research shows that their natural scent may be the better attractant

Come clean to your doc, or you could risk more than a red face. Many patients see no harm in fibbing about whether or not they smoke, take vitamins or how much they drink. But this information should not be left out. In particular, women who do not tell their doctors that they smoke rob themselves of an accurate determination of their risk of blood clots. Doctors who know that their female patients smoke tend to recommend lower-risk methods of contraception, such as diaphragms and IUDs.

A group of Canadian and European researchers have unlocked the mystery of a gene with the potential to both regulate and block ovulation.
The new study - a collaboration between the Universite de Montreal in Canada and the Institut de Genetique et Biologie Moleculaire et Cellulaire of the Universite de Louis Pasteur, Strasbourg, France - is published in the latest issue of the journal Genes & Development.
"Our findings demonstrate that the Lrh1 gene is essential in regulating ovulation," said Bruce D

Three Kinds of Drugs That Can Kill Your Sex Drive
If you're having sex drive issues, check your medicine cabinet. Several varieties of prescription medication can dampen desire.
Birth control:
Some hormonal birth control methods such as pills and patches can increase women's levels of sex-hormone-binding globulin (SHBG), which drops the amount of testosterone that's floating around freely in the bloodstream

Malaysia's deputy health minister urged every woman in the country to carry a condom to protect against HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, and declared that this is not to debase them but to protect them. Women are the first ones to get exploited by their (HIV-positive) partners.

If Colorado for Equal Rights for Human Life and other anti-abortion groups can wrangle 76,000 signatures in the next six months, theirs could be the first state in the nation to vote on whether a fertilized egg should legally be considered a person. Despite resistance from abortion-rights groups, the Colorado Supreme Court on November 13 approved the ballot measure — 40 years after Colorado became the first state to relax abortion laws — giving a boost to a conservative political movement that has worked doggedly for decades to overturn Roe v. Wade
Nature Discusses Risks of Birth Control Pill, Cervical Cancer
Darkfrog submitted, created time 1 year 1 week (www.nature.com)
Okay, most of us have read about the study in Lancet last week linking use of the birth control pill to cervical cancer. Nature lined up Dr. Jane Green to give a whole picture of the study itself, how much salt to take it with and what else to look for. Frankly, I'm relieved that someone printed something like this. Now if it would only show up in the mainstream...

Women who take oral contraceptives run a higher risk of developing cervical cancer, but this risk is transient and reverts to normal about 10 years after they stop, British researchers said on Thursday.

Just weeks after Pope Benedict XVI denounced government-backed contraception in a visit to Brazil, the president unveiled a program Monday to provide cheap birth control pills at 10,000 drug stores across the country.
President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva said the plan will give poor Brazilians "the same right that the wealthy have to plan the number of children they want."
For the disciplined, three-pronged rhythm method can be as effective as the pill
Hecate submitted, created time 1 year 7 months (www.sciam.com)
Unlike most endorsements of periodic abstinence, also called "rhythm," this article is from Scientific American, which I think we can say is an unbiased source. According to this, perfect use of the sympto-thermal method (STM), which involves not only tracking days on a calendar but also daily temperature and cervical mucus checks, can have a failure rate of as little as .06 percent, comparable to perfect use of the birth control pill. However, it requires an abstinence period of at least two weeks per cycle

It should be one of the happiest events in a woman's life. But for women with a rare heart disease, the first few months after giving birth can be deadly.
The disease, called postpartum cardiomyopathy, causes heart failure in affected women at the end of their pregnancy or soon after giving birth. Now, researchers have found that an aberrant breakdown of prolactin - the hormone that stimulates milk production — may be to blame. Drugs that block production of this hormone could therefore hold promise for a cure.
HUZZAH!! Turns out that the birth control pill does not cause weight gain!
Darkfrog submitted, created time 1 year 9 months (www.nytimes.com)
~~~~ A study shows that today's standard birth control pills do NOT cause net weight gain. Even if a person retains water for a short while, it balances out after the body adjusts to the dosage.
Now fewer women will be reluctant to be prepared. ...now I just hope that that thing about clearing up acne isn't a myth too.
The site is being tricky again, so here's the link.
