Sure! The abstract is here [pediatrics.aappublications.org] (free) and the full article is here [pediatrics.aappublications.org].full.pdf+html (not free unless you are accessing from location that subscribes). It probably just hasn't been indexed on PubMed yet.

Glad to help. After commenting I found out a girl in my lab will actually be working with the group who wrote this study for her doctorate, so she knew about it in advance, and she concurs with what I said above.

Thanks! I just posted something similar down thread. The group appears to be looking at gene-environment interactions, so it's likely they were using this to direct that further research. New outlets in general have difficulty communicating with many of these types of studies that they are not proposing that one…

To head off a few questions I've seen people asking (I'm a grad student in a molecular epid lab, and I just went and read the paper):

[pediatrics.aappublications.org] Here's the abstract. I haven't done links on here before so I have no idea if that's going to show up correctly. If not, just follow AP's link to Pediatrics, it's the second headline story on their website, and you can read the abstract for free. If you're someplace that subscribes to…

Honestly, it doesn't even have to be a boy vs girl thing. Putting one kid on a restrictive diet while everyone else in the family gets to eat normally, it makes it like a punishment.

I manged to stand up to her on the weight issue a few years back. Towards the end of high school, she was giving me the "You need to get serious about your weight" speech and made a comment about knowing how hard it was, and I snapped and chewed her out right then. Because she doesn't: she was very athletic growing up…

This is one of the most upsetting things I've read in a while.

For a split second, I thought Natasha Bedingfield's was a terrible version of Chel from Portal, for which I actually would have given many points, before I realized it was just another sexy costume. Most disappointing.

So, I'm possibly in the market for a new neurologist. I have a sleep disorder, of not entirely defined origins. I'm in grad school and thanks to NIH stipends being rad, I finally have non-terrible insurance and finally went to the sleep clinic to get checked out, after a solid 6.5 years of debilitating excessive…

AH! I'm totally dressing up as Vinyl Scratch (DJ p0n-3)!

I think the issue is more that is (for the most part) the ONLY thing they seem to offer. The problem is less that girls might like pink, shiny, fashion-y things, but rather a continually repeated implication that that's the only thing they are supposed to like. You bring up that boys are all "supposed" to be rough and…

This may be a bit off topic, but a few of the posts below made me think of it: a few days ago a friend and I were discussing differences in later in life body image and what type of media they were exposed to. In my case, I brought up comics as a relatively positive example. They industry still has many, many…

You know, I know everyone has to find what works for them, and this works for a lot of people, but I really didn't like Weight Watchers much. I went as a teenager (they had a meeting for teenagers at ours), until shortly before I graduated high school, about 5 years in total. A lot of the other comments are saying…

Uhh actually, that says it "The evidence favors acceptance of four vaccine–adverse event relationships. In these cases, the evidence is strong and generally suggestive, but not firm enough to be described as convincing" That is not the same thing as proof. It suggests there could be a problem, but it requires further…

So you know, herpes and HPV are not the same thing. Herpes is caused by the Herpes Simplex Virus (of which there are two varieties, one of which causes cold sores). HPV is human papilomavirus, and while it still causes genital warts, it's an entirely different thing.

So you know, herpes is caused by the Herpes Simplex Virus (type I causes cold sores, type II causes genital herpes, typically). HPV is Human Papilomavirus, an entirely different thing.
