| Huffington Post: Birth Control May Boost Risk of Carrying Staph Bacteria Posted: 14 Sep 2012 10:25 AM PDT By: Rachael Rettner, MyHealthNewsDaily Staff Writer Taking birth control pills may make women's bodies more hospitable to staph bacteria, a new study from Germany suggests. In the study, women taking hormonal contraception were about twice as likely to persistently harbor staph bacteria in their nasal passages compared with women not taking hormonal contraception. The findings suggest that the widespread use of birth control increases the "pool" of people harboring the bacteria, which in turn, may contribute to its spread to people susceptible to getting sick from an infection, said study researcher Dennis Nurjadi, of the Institute for Tropical Medicine in Tübingen. The women in the study did not have staph infections. Many people carry the bacteria, called Staphylococcus aureus, on their skin or in their nasal passages without any problems. However, the bacteria can cause skin infections, particularly inside cuts and scratches, and infections can be lethal if they enter the bloodstream, according to the Mayo Clinic. People with weakened immune systems are particularly susceptible to staph infections. The study only found an association, and not a direct cause-effect link between taking birth control and harboring staph. But if the findings hold up in future studies, it would mean that about 20 percent of women who carry the bacteria do so because they use hormonal contraception, the researchers said. The study was published Sept. 5 in the journal Clinical Infectious Diseases. Nurjadi and colleagues analyzed information from 1,180 young men and women who were seeking health advice before traveling to subtropical regions and provided two nasal swabs at least a month apart. About 22 percent of participants carried Staphylococcus aureus in their nasal passages on both occasions, and were considered "persistent" carriers. Women who took hormonal contraception were 1.9 times more likely to be persistent carriers compared with women who did not take hormonal contraception. Additionally, the study showed that men were more likely to carry the bacteria than women who were not taking contraception. However, women taking contraception were more likely to carry the bacteria than men. The findings held after the researchers took into account factors that could affect the likelihood of carrying the bacteria, including age, animal contact, smoking habits and history of skin infections. Previous studies have found women with high estrogen levels are more likely to carry Staphylococcus aureus compared with women who have lower levels. It could be that high hormone levels affect the immune system, and in turn, make women more prone to carrying the bacteria, the researchers said. A study published last year found women in Africa who used hormonal contraception were at increased risk of acquiring HIV. Because the study included mostly young people, it is important to reproduce the results in other populations, the researchers said. Pass it on: Use of birth control may increase the risk of carrying staph bacteria. Follow Rachael Rettner on Twitter @RachaelRettner, orMyHealthNewsDaily @MyHealth_MHND.

| Huffington Post: Pope Benedict Arrives In Lebanon; Appeals For Peace In Middle East Posted: 14 Sep 2012 10:27 AM PDT BEIRUT — Pope Benedict XVI appealed for peace and reconciliation among religions Friday as violence over an anti-Islam movie spilled over into Lebanon within hours of his arrival in the tumultuous region. The pope flew into Lebanon for a three-day visit despite the recent unrest – including civil war in Syria, a mob attack that killed the U.S. ambassador and three other Americans in Libya, and a string of violent protests across the Middle East stemming from the film, produced in the United States, which insults Islam.

| Huffington Post: Mitt, Ann Romney Give Interview To Kelly Ripa And Michael Strahan Posted: 14 Sep 2012 10:28 AM PDT Mitt and Ann Romney sat down Friday with Kelly Ripa and former New York Giants player Michael Strahan, hosts of ABC's "LIVE! with Kelly and Michael," for an interview that will air Tuesday. Early excerpts from the interview were released by the Romney pool report, and the questions veered more toward "Jersey Shore" than say, the current unrest in the Mideast: Mitt Romney described the night he met Ann at a party at a friend's house. Mitt Romney was a senior in high school and Ann Romney was a sophomore. |
| Posted: 14 Sep 2012 10:33 AM PDT One of Britney Spears' former collaborators is crying foul after claiming that he was forced into an emotional onstage revelation that was removed from his unsuccessful "X-Factor" audition. Don Philip, who recorded "I Will Still Love You" with Spears in 1998, appeared to break down in tears backstage after being told his performance wasn't up to par with the reality show's standards. However, Philip claims there was a different reason for his outburst: he had just revealed to his old friend Spears (and her "X-Factor" co-judges Demi Lovato, Simon Cowell and L.A. Reid) that he was gay. "It was kind of a private thing they forced out of me," the 32-year-old Philip, who also reportedly sang back-up for Gloria Estefan early in his career, told Access Hollywood. Likening the incident to being "bullied," the singer claims he even contemplated suicide after the admission: Read More... More on The X-Factor
