A new study suggests that drugs used by millions of women to control asthma, depression, thyroid disorder and other common ailments contribute to infertility.
However, researchers say it’s quite possible that the illnesses, rather than the drugs women take for them, are the real culprits.
The study, in the current Epidemiology, is a first step in determining whether common drugs affect women’s reproductive capacity, say researchers from the Harvard School of Public Health.
Anthrax hit Russian city
WASHINGTON: A cloud of deadly anthrax spores, probably from a germ warfare accident, floated through the Russian city of Sverdlovsk, 840 miles east of Moscow, and killed at least 42 people in 1979, according to a new study of secret autopsies.
The study is to be published Monday in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
Russian President Boris Yeltsin admitted in May that the 1979 epidemic was caused by a military accident.
