Exercise as psychiatric patients' new primary prescription: When it comes to inpatient treatment of anxiety and depression, schizophrenia, suicidality and acute psychotic episodes, a new study advocates for exercise, rather than psychotropic medications, as the primary prescription and intervention.

It is hard to measure the precise long-term health impact of particulate pollution because it correlates with other pollutants. However, a new study got around this problem by examining the particulate pollution produced by a volcano, and finding that it had a substantial adverse health impact.

Deep kissing with tongue may be a way that gonorrhea is passed on, even if romantic partners haven’t been otherwise sexually active. Although the study involved only gay and bisexual men, the risk of transmitting gonorrhea orally is likely also present for heterosexuals and particularly sex workers.
