HPV Rates Drop Dramatically in Teen Girls
HPV rates have fallen dramatically in teenage girls since the introduction of the HPV vaccine in 2006, according to a new study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. In fact, the rates have fallen by over half – 56%, to be precise – for the four different strains of HPV covered by the vaccine, including HPV 6, HPV 11, HPV 16 and HPV 18. None of the researchers expected such a large drop so quickly, especially since only roughly 33% of teen girls received at least one HPV vaccine dose between 2007 and 2010. In order for the HPV vaccine to be fully effective, it must be applied three times over the course of half a year. The vaccine, along with prevention techniques such as sexual partner limiting and condom use could prove to be highly effective methods for ensuring that teenagers avoid getting the disease.
Are Home Births Safe? Usually, Study Says
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the number of home births in the U.S. increased by 29 percent from 2004 to 2009, going from 0.56 to 0.72 percent of births. But is it safe to have your baby at home? According to a new study from the Netherlands, it may actually be safer than having your baby at a hospital – but not by much, and only if you have what’s considered a low-risk pregnancy. The study looked at women who had already had one baby and had minimal complication risks in their current pregnancy. Among these women, about 1 in 1,000 had severe complications when giving birth at home. Meanwhile, about 2.3 in 1,000 had severe complications when giving birth at a hospital. Examples of severe complications include requiring a transfer to the ICU (intensive care unit) or a significant blood transfusion.

Scientists: Banned Drugs Deserve More Research
A group of scientists have published a new report online in the medical journal Nature Reviews Neuroscience, calling for additional research to be performed on various illegal drugs and describing the bans on these drugs as scientific censorship. The researchers say that such drugs, including psychedelics and marijuana, may have incredible efficacy in treating various physical and mental heath conditions, but that restrictive laws prevent the scientific community from fully understanding exactly how and to what extent. Many of these drugs are considered “Schedule 1″ under U.S. law, meaning that they’re thought to have no medical use and a high potential for abuse. Could drugs once considered strictly recreational and dangerous actually hold the keys to a new era of safer, more effective medical treatment?

40% of “Designated Drivers” Actually Impaired by Alcohol
With summer comes bon fires, beach parties, barbecues and music festivals, and with those types of events, alcohol sometimes comes too. The typical safety advice in these types of situations always starts with the same important tip: designate a sober driver so you and yours can get home safely when the festivities have ended. But is having a designated driver really a guarantee that your wheelman will be clearheaded at the evening’s conclusion? Far from it, according to a new study that finds that approximately 40% of so-called “designated drivers” actually end up drinking anyhow. The study is particularly troubling considering the statistics from MADD, which state that 28 people die per day in the U.S. as a result of drunk driving crashes. Also, 300,000 incidents of drinking and driving occur daily.

Daily Sunscreen Delays Aging of Skin
With hot summer days fast approaching, many Americans are heading to supermarkets and drug stores to pick up an annual staple – sunscreen. But according to a new study by Australian researchers, sunscreen shouldn’t just be used seasonally, at least not if you want to maximize the health and appearance of your skin. The study finds that daily application of sunscreen results in fewer wrinkles and better skin overall. Specifically, subjects under the age of 55 who applied sunscreen every day had 24% less aging to their skin than individuals who only put on sunscreen once in a while. The study included both men and women. The findings represent further evidence that the “tan is beautiful” doctrine could cause long-term damage. In order to have young-looking beautiful skin, it might be necessary to protect yourself from the sun at all times.
