With the increased use of human papillomavirus vaccines such as Gardasil and Cervarix, the medical community is likely to see a decrease in cases of genital warts and other complications caused by several HPV strains. But it may be a decade or two before oncologists can expect to see a decline in cervical cancer rates attributable to the use of these relatively new vaccines.

Rare is the feature on women’s health from a magazine hip to New York City’s nightlife, dining, arts and entertainment. Within the past two months alone the magazine featured articles on the Julie Taymor Spiderman play, Jimmy Fallon and John Stewart. Not what one might consider provoking and thoughtful. Yet this week’s issue arrived with a juicy six page article titled Waking Up From the Pill that asks readers to consider the side effects of hormonal birth control.

In a letter addressed to US Senator Charles Grassley, the vaccine safety non-profit organization S.A.N.E Vax congratulated the senator on his recent efforts to examine ethical questions raised by National Cancer Institute (NCI) employees accepting extensive travel sponsored by private companies and identified two senior NCI scientists who knowingly promote unreliable human papillomavirus (HPV) tests for patient care, and the development/monitoring of genotype-specific HPV vaccines to promote an unproven virology-based cervical cancer prevention business agenda.

A recent civil society-led investigation has highlighted serious ethical violations in a trial of the Human Papilloma Virus vaccine on girls in Khammam district in Andhra Pradesh. The findings are presented along with
a review of clinical trials of the hpv vaccine in India and an analysis of the Drugs and Cosmetics Act and Rules.
Together they illustrate how the promotional practices of drug companies, pressure from powerful international organisations, and the co-option of, and uncritical endorsement by, India’s medical associations are influencing the country’s public health priorities.

Despite multiple daily insulin doses and attempts at optimal metabolic control, adolescent girls with type 1 diabetes have a higher prevalence of oligomenorrhea compared with healthy adolescents.
Previous data highlight an association between type 1 diabetes and irregular menstruation in women, but few studies have examined this issue in adolescents, according to researchers from Chile.

A woman will use, on average, 11,000 “feminine products” in her lifetime. The business of menstruation isn’t exactly the most eco-friendly miracle of life, and the developers of “Mooncup, Ltd” are well aware of this fact. Hailed as a “woman-positive menstruation product,” the Mooncup is both environmentally conscious and cost effective for that monthly extra expense.
