Researchers present promising treatments for renal cell carcinoma using 5-aminolevulinic acid fluorescence detection, as well as a vaginal mucosal vaccine for recurrent urinary tract infections. Additionally, studies investigate the long-term health-related quality of life impacts of different prostate cancer therapies.
Researchers found that intelligent adolescents tend to postpone any kind of lesser sexual activity, as well as first sex, compared to their less intelligent peers. The association between intelligence and refraining from sexual intercourse was stronger for girls than boys, and age-dependent.
Researchers identified five brain areas activated during sexual arousal, including the inferior temporal cortex and right orbitofrontal cortex. The study used positron emission tomography to map brain activity while subjects watched different films, providing insights into the neurophysiological bases of human sexuality.
A study on non-Western folk beliefs found that partible paternity is a common concept among indigenous groups in South America and New Guinea. This ancient tradition suggests that every man who contributes sperm during pregnancy biologically contributes to the child, challenging the long-held assumption of a single biological father.
Researchers studied 1,200 female crack users, finding that exchangers were four times more likely to have been in substance abuse treatment and twice as likely to be homeless. The study aims to develop effective HIV prevention measures targeting women at risk of exchanging sex for drugs.
A landmark study found that behavioral interventions can cut high-risk sexual behaviors in half and more than double regular condom use among hardest-to-reach populations. The intervention, which focuses on motivation and skills to reduce high-risk behaviors, was effective in reducing gonorrhea incidence by half among men.
Diane Morrison, a University of Washington research associate professor, argues that parents need to teach their children about safe sexual behavior. She believes that if Americans want their kids to learn positive sexual values, parents should have open and honest conversations about sex, condoms, and birth control.
A San Francisco State University study found that women taking triphasic Orthonovum 7/7/7 pills experience higher levels of sexual interest and satisfaction compared to those using monophasic pills or no birth control. The study suggests a physiological basis for the difference, contradicting earlier predictions.
