Red-letter day for women's health research

Article Abstract:

Mary Ann Liebert is publishing the Journal of Women's Health. The Journal is the first multispecialty journal on the disorders of women. Liebert, whose company publishes some 60 other journals, says that her decision was spurred by the lack of women in clinical trials. The journal is a forum for well-run studies on clinical care and wellness for women. Recent topics have included the increase in interstitial cystitis, early diagnosis of systematic lupus erythematosus, and the psychological effects of mammography use. The Journal costs $65 for individuals and $120 for institutions.

Urinary stress incontinence - removing the stigma

Article Abstract:

The American Medical Women's Assn. has launched its Life without Limits campaign in an effort to remove the stigma attached to urinary stress incontinence as well as to provide patients and physicians with treatment information for the condition. The condition, which affects 9 mil US women, is more frequent among older women, although one third of women afflicted by it develop it before the age of 35.
