Smoking Cessation Among Women with and at Risk for HIV: Are They Quitting?Email this article to a colleague.

CONCLUSIONS HIV-infected and at-risk women in this cohort have lower smoking cessation rates than the general population. Given the high
prevalence of smoking, the high risk of adverse health events from smoking, and low rates of cessation, it is imperative that
we increase efforts and overcome barriers to help these women quit smoking.

Schizophrenia hides its heritability well. Although fewer than 1 percent of the general population will be diagnosed as schizophrenic based on symptoms such as hallucination and disorganized thought, for children of a schizophrenic parent, those odds jump to about one in 10. And yet the condition’s genetic underpinnings have stubbornly resisted discovery. In the latest attempt, three crack teams of investigators pooled genomic data from 8,000 schizophrenics of European ancestry but could lay claim to only a handful of weak genetic risk markers.Analyses such as these, which appeared online July 1 in Nature ( Scientifi...

Abstract There exist many subcultures of men who have sex with men (MSM), all with differing values and health behaviors. The Leathermen
comprise one such subculture, which is characterized by a heightened valuation of hypersexuality and adherence to sexual control

sexual health (e.g., HIV rates) and sexual health behaviors (e.g., condom use). We conducted a large survey of men (N = 1,554) at one leather and non-leather event, collecting data from 655 Submissives, Dominants, Sw...

The basic premise of the book is that "as a culture, we are increasingly failing to respect young boyhood, pathologizing normal boy behavior and foisting burdensome and stigmatizing diagnoses of ADHD, Asperger's syndrome, bipolar disorder, and more on boys as young as three years old."

Abstract In the late 1960s Van Rensselaer Potter, a biochemist and cancer researcher, thought that our survival was threatened by the
domination of military policy makers and producers of material goods ignorant of biology. He called for a new field of Bioethics—“a
science of survival.” Bioethics did develop, but with a narrower focus on medical ethics. Recently there have been attempts
to broaden that focus to bring biomedical ethics together with environmental ethics. Though the two have many differences—in
habits of thought, scope of concern, and value commitments—in this paper we argue that the...

Abstract Tension-type headache (TTH) is the most common and most socioeconomically costly headache. Yet our knowledge regarding TTH
pathophysiological mechanisms is still in its early stages. Psychological stress and weak coping mechanisms may initiate and
propagate physiological pain via activation of second messengers in downstream substrates involved in pain. It seems that
peripheral mechanisms are predominant in the episodic type (ETTH), whereas central mechanisms are involved in the chronic
type (CTTH) of tension headache. The conversion from ETTH to CTTH is most relevant to the clinician and the patien...
