Senators Joe Lieberman (ID-CT) and Barbara Boxer (D-CA) introduced the Mental Health Care for our Wounded Warriors Act of 2007 last week. This legislation would create a "Center of Excellence" in coordination with the Department of Defense in order to research and aid in the development of ways to prevent and treat traumatic brain injuries suffered by soldiers during their time of service.

Researchers at the American Academy of Neurology have recently localized two new genes that are associated with fever-related seizures in children.

In an effort to understand and help diagnosis the increasing number of brain injuries suffered by soldiers during their time of service, the United States Army will begin testing brain scanning equipment.

What causes BV?
Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is a common condition of the vagina caused by an overgrowth of various bacteria (germs). It is not just a simple infection caused by one type of bacterium, but the cause is not fully understood.
How do you catch BV?
Not necessarily from having sex, but having intercourse can introduce different types of bacteria into the vagina and so lead to BV. The risk increases if you have anal and vaginal intercourse using the same condom. Douching and excessive hygiene can also cause the condition as it upsets the natural balance of bacteria.
How do you know you’ve got BV?
Not everyone gets symptoms, but if you do it tends to be an excessively fishy smell (espcially after sex), heavy whitish discharge, plus itching, possible swelling and maybe a bit of redness.
How do you treat bacterial vaginosis?
Visit your doctor and get some antibiotics.The bad news is once you’ve had it you’re more likely to get it again, and it puts you at risk of other infections.
How can you protect yourself?
Practise proper, but not over-zealous hygiene, avoid douching and always wipe front to back after urinating.
