3. Tufts University biologists link Huntington's disease to health benefits in young
   09-25-2007 · EurekAlert!
   Hypothesis by Tufts University researchers explain prevalence of the disease by suggesting that people with Huntington's disease are healthier in childbearing years and have more children than general population. Huntington's strengthens the immune system during most fertile years allowing them to produce more offspring. Symptoms associated with Huntington's occur later in life, after peak reproductive age. The researchers' hypothesis challenges a long held belief that people with Huntington's had more children because of promiscuous behavior.

6. Study shows that anal cytology predicts anal precancer in HIV-positive gay men
   03-21-2007 · EurekAlert!
   HIV-positive men who have sex with men are up to 90 times more likely than the general population to develop anal cancer. Detection of precancerous changes (anal dysplasia) by anal cytology -- essentially an anal canal Pap smear -- is a relatively new procedure and one that has yet to enter standard practice. This UCLA study demonstrated that abnormal anal cytology was highly predictive of anal cell abnormalities that were subsequently confirmed by anal biopsy.
