Oklahoma City blast data can improve building design

Article Abstract:

The Oklahoma State Department of Health, Injury Prevention Service gathered epidemiologic data of the physical injuries and deaths resulting from the bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City, OK. Injuries and fatalities were correlated to building location. The researchers hope the epidemiologic data can be combined with knowledge about architecture and search-and-rescue technology to develop models for reducing injuries and improving rescue strategies in the event of future bombings.

Some cruise travel-related diarrhea is preventable

Article Abstract:

Travelers can minimize the possibility of contracting diarrhea while on cruise ships or in developing countries by a few simple precautions, according to studies by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research. To prevent diarrhea, safe-food practices are paramount, including such measures as using pasteurized eggs and completely cooking shellfish. Contamination of water and ice were reduced in comparison to earlier research reports.

Study shows benefits of circumcision are limited

Article Abstract:

Researchers have found that circumcision provides virtually no disease-prevention benefits, nor does it increase the risk of contracting a sexually transmitted disease. Circumcized males are slightly less at risk for sexual dysfunction, particularly in old age. Some mild differences in sexual practices were uncovered. The study was based on an analysis of data on the sexual, attitudinal and health-related experiences of Americans from the National Health and Social Life Survey.
