A woman in Bangladesh who gave birth in February suddenly gave birth again in March— to two more babies. Arifa Sultana, 20, had a premature baby last month and 26 days later she was rushed to another hospital with stomach pain, the BBC reports. It was then that doctors realized she had second uterus, and was still pregnant with two other babies. Sultana is from a rural village and delivered her first baby at the Khulna Medical College Hospital in the Khulna district. Less than a month later, she went to the Ad-din Hospital in Jessore because she had stomach pain. Dr. Sheila Poddar performed an emergency C-section, the doctor told the BBC. "When the patient came in we performed an ultrasound on her and found there were twin babies," Poddar said. "We were very shocked and surprised. I have never observed something like this before." Her twins were born healthy and discharged from the hospital four days later with no complications.Sultana and her husband are "very poor," … [Read more...] about Woman with two wombs gives birth twice, less than a month apart

More Gardasil fear mongering: A “critical review” of HPV vaccination that lacks critical thinking
Here we go again. Antivaxers don't like vaccines. This, we know. They blame them for everything from autism to autoimmune diseases to diabetes to sudden infant death syndrome. They even sometimes claim that shaken baby syndrome is a "misdiagnosis" for vaccine injury. However, there are two vaccines that stand out above all as the objects of antivaccine scorn. the first, of course, is the MMR vaccine. That's on Andrew Wakefield., of course, who almost singlehandedly popularized the fear that the MMR vaccine causes autism. The second most hated vaccine (by antivaxers) is Gardasil or Cervarix, both vaccines against the human papilloma virus (HPV), the virus that causes genital wart and certain subtypes of which greatly predispose to cancer.

Sales have been falling on an annual basis for much of this year, but this was the biggest annual drop for any month in almost eight years. It was also more than twice the annual drop seen in August. "The double whammy of higher prices and rising mortgage rates has priced out some would-be buyers and prompted others to take a wait-and-see stance," said Andrew LePage, a CoreLogic analyst, in the release. "There was one caveat to last month's sharp annual sales decline — this September had one less business day for recording transactions. Adjusting for that, the year-over-year decline would be about 13 … [Read more...] about Southern California Suffers Its Worst Housing Slump in Over a Decade
