Fibromyalgia increases pain and fatigue for pregnant women
Pregnant women with fibromyalgia (FM) experience significant pain, fatigue and psychological stress, symptoms that are often misdiagnosed or undertreated as a normal part of pregnancy. View More (2006-07-06)
Intrauterine devices reduce repeat abortions
A study from the University of Gothenburg, Sweden, which monitored a group of women for 25 years showed that the combined oral contraceptive pill (the pill) is the most common form of contraceptive among women under 29. View More (2010-06-10)
Disarming specialized stem cells might combat deadly ovarian cancer
Eliminating cancer stem cells (CSCs) within a tumor could hold the key to successful treatments for ovarian cancer, which has been notoriously difficult to detect and treat, according to new findings published this week in the journal Oncogene by Yale School of Medicine researchers.

Researchers discover gene that causes obesity in mice
Researchers have discovered that deleting a specific gene in mice prevents them from becoming obese even on a high fat diet, a finding they believe may be replicated in humans. View More (2013-03-06)
No benefit for suctioning of meconium-stained babies at delivery (pp 560, 597)
The widely practised procedure of suctioning babies to prevent a potentially fatal respiratory disease is probably ineffective, conclude authors of a study in this week's issue of THE LANCET. Around 10% of babies are delivered with meconium (babies first faeces) staining of the amniotic fluid (MSAF). These babies are at risk of MSAF inhalation during delivery which can lead to the potentially... View More (2004-08-11)
Low levels of vitamin D linked to common vaginal infection in pregnant women
Pregnant women with low levels of vitamin D may be more likely to suffer from bacterial vaginosis (BV) - a common vaginal infection that increases a woman's risk for preterm delivery. View More (2009-05-26)
New genetic testing technology for IVF embryos
Researchers at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine have devised a new technique, which helps couples that are affected by or are carriers of genetic diseases have in vitro fertilized babies free of both the disease in question and other chromosomal abnormalities. View More (2011-05-24)
Obesity raises risk of complications in pregnancy, study shows
Expectant mothers who are obese are much more likely to suffer from minor complications such as heart burn and chest infections during pregnancy, a study suggests. View More (2009-07-17)
In Hispanic women, genetic variations linked to spontaneous preterm birth

Women with diabetes are just as likely to be interested in, and engage in, sexual activity as non-diabetic women, but they are much more likely to report low overall sexual satisfaction, according to a UCSF study. View More (2012-07-26)
Quality control mechanism tags defective sperm cells inside the body
Defective sperm cells do not pass through the body unnoticed. A new University of Missouri study provides evidence that the body recognizes and tags defective sperm cells while they undergo maturation in the epididymis, a sperm storage gland attached to the testis. View More (2008-01-24)
Endometrial stem cells could repair brain cells damaged by Parkinson's disease
Stem cells derived from the endometrium (uterine lining) and transplanted into the brains of laboratory mice with Parkinson's disease appear to restore functioning of brain cells damaged by the disease, according to a new study by Yale School of Medicine researchers. View More (2010-05-07)
U of M researchers may have discovered key to help women fight infections during pregnancy
A normal but concerning consequence of pregnancy is the fact that pregnant women are more susceptible to infection. University of Minnesota Medical School researchers have identified the underlying mechanisms for this physiologic immune suppression that may lead to new therapies to help ward off infections during pregnancy.

Researchers believe hormone therapy should not be stopped prior to mammograms
Researchers from Boston University School of Medicine (BUSM) are recommending that menopausal women on hormone therapy (HT) continue their treatment prior to having their annual mammogram screenings. View More (2009-09-29)
Cancer survivors likely to experience pain at some point in care: U-M study shows
Surviving cancer may also mean surviving pain, according to a study by the University of Michigan Health System showing 20 percent of cancer survivors at least two years post diagnosis have current cancer-related chronic pain. View More (2011-01-13)
Call for research funding to prevent pregnancy complications
State representatives and senators got a call for more research funding to prevent pregnancy complications from a Yale School of Medicine researcher at the 7th annual Women In Government regional conference on September 28. View More (2005-10-05)
Research Shows Efficacy of Treatment Model Developed at Women & Infants' Infant Behavior, Cry and Sleep Clinic
Having a new baby brings much joy to a new family.But for a family whose baby cries for hours on end, fusses through feedings, or has difficulty sleeping, the joy may be overshadowed by feelings of helplessness and frustration. View More (2012-04-20)
Taking folic acid for a year before pregnancy may reduce risk of preterm birth
Women who take folic acid supplements for at least one year before they become pregnant may cut their risk of having a premature baby by half, according to research published this week in the online journal, PLoS Medicine. View More (2009-05-13)
New LA BioMed research identifies effective treatment for common gynecological problem
New research from the Los Angeles Biomedical Research Institute (LA BioMed) found a progestogen-only treatment halted bleeding in women suffering from extremely heavy periods, according to the study published online by the American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology. View More (2013-02-15)
