Women's dental health takes a hit with the move from hunting and gathering to agriculture
Darkfrog submitted, created time 4 weeks 2 days (sciencenow.sciencemag.org)
There is an old wives' tale saying that women lose one tooth for every child they have. While this is not precisely true, pregnancy does take a toll on a woman's teeth. On one hand, they tend to crave sweeter, calorie-rich foods. On another hormonal changes affect a woman's saliva, diminishing its ability to protect her teeth.
For years, archaeologists and anthropologists have known that dental health among women takes a dive when a society shifts from hunting and gathering to early agriculture 
C-sections might affect a new mother's ability to bond
Darkfrog submitted, created time 2 months 1 week (well.blogs.nytimes.com)
This is interesting. It's a New York Times writeup of a study in the Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry showing that women who deliver their children vaginally as opposed to by C-section are more responsive to the sound of infants crying a short time after the birth takes place.
There are some flaws in this study. First off, it only involved a small number of women, which increases the likelihood of statistical errors. Second, it does not show how whether this is a case of delayed attachment or stunted attachment. C-section moms might well catch up as time passes
U.S. Funded Health Search Engine Blocks "Abortion" As Keyword
jane2007 submitted, created time 7 months 2 weeks (www.abcnews.go.com)
A U.S. government-funded medical information site that bills itself as the world's largest database on reproductive health has quietly begun to block searches on the word "abortion," concealing nearly 25,000 search results.
Why are there no boys in the Gardasil commercial?
Darkfrog submitted, created time 8 months 3 weeks (www.nytimes.com)
Although I knew that it was possible to give the anti-HPV vaccine to boys (it would protect them from getting genital warts in addition to making them less likely to give the cervical-cancer-causing virus to any female partners) I have to admit, the question didn't occur to me. Usually, drug companies are so eager to market their wares to as many people as possible, but there is a real dearth of pro-male HPV vaccine advertising out there.
A drive to lower the incidence of multiple births in fertility treatments
Darkfrog submitted, created time 9 months 2 days (www.nytimes.com)
Doctors employing in vitro fertilization tend to implant several healthy embryos in the hopes that at least one will end up as a full-term healthy baby. However, this technique often leads to multiple births. Women carrying three or more children have a dramatically increased risk of health problems, premature birth and miscarriage, to the point where doctors often recommend "reducing," or selectively aborting one of the fetuses once it becomes apparent that triplets or more are on the way
Flash-freezing changes the face of fertility, but not by much
Darkfrog submitted, created time 10 months 3 weeks (www.nytimes.com)
This article is as much about politics and attitude as it is about the new flash-freezing method, called vitrification, that allows women to preserve their genetic material without settling on a sperm donor or real-life partner first. The scientists in this article claim that the flash-freezing of unfertilized human ova, a relatively new process that improves the survival rate over conventional freezing, will "emancipate women as much as the birth control pill did in 1960
Study linkes abortion to low birth weight, but equates abortion and miscarriage
Darkfrog submitted, created time 11 months 1 day (www.time.com)
Although a few previous studies have linked abortion to low birth weight and premature birth (both of which strongly affect a child's ability to survive) in a woman's later pregnancies, this is the first one that has a pool of data large enough to adjust for things like the woman's socioeconomic status, marital status, size and weight and other factors that can also affect birth weight. Although this puts it miles ahead of other studies, it still has one major problem: It does not distinguish between induced abortion and spontaneous abortion (AKA miscarriage)
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...
Do frozen human ova remain viable? Different voices disagree.
Hecate submitted, created time 1 year 4 weeks (www.nature.com)
Scientists are debating whether the practice of freezing human ova should be considered experimental or whether it should be deemed standard. (This distinction, pedantic though it may seem, has some consequences for health insurance.) The debate covers not only the best method for freezing eggs (slow-freeze vs. fast, in layman's terms) but the circumstances under which it is appropriate to do so at all.
Many women choose to freeze their eggs because of illness. For example, some forms of radiation and chemotherapy can cause infertility

Findings suggest that mothers of young children with moderate to severe eczema report higher stress levels than mothers of children with diabetes or profound deafness.

Reviver submitted, created time 1 year 5 months (www.reutershealth.com)
Over the 7-day study, the investigators found that the low-intake group ate less than 1.9 three-ounce servings of meat per day, as opposed to more than 3.18 servings for the high-intake group.More than half (52.8 percent) of the women classified as having a high meat intake were obese, defined in this study as having greater than 35 percent body fat. Conversely, 37.3 percent of women in the moderate meat intake group were obese and only 15.6 percent of those in the low meat intake group were obese.

In the largest and most rigorous U.S. trial comparing two traditional operations for stress urinary incontinence (SUI) in women, a team of urologists and urogynecologists supported by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has found that a sling procedure helps more women achieve dryness than the Burch technique.
New Hampshire adopts voluntary HPV vaccine program
Hecate submitted, created time 1 year 6 months (www.nytimes.com)
While about eighteen US states have considered or are considering making HPV vaccination mandatory for young female students, New Hampshire has tried another tack: The state has made the vaccine available free of charge to girls between the ages of eleven and eighteen, offered on a highest-risk-first-served basis whenever supplies grow short.
The program has been highly successful, showing a huge turnout. “We usually have to bust our hump every September to convince people to get their flu shots,” the article quotes Greg Moore of the Health and Human Services Department
