Oral Contraceptives and Benign Ovarian Tumors Westhoff et al. Oral Contraceptives and Benign Ovarian Tumors

Whether use of combined oral contraceptives (OC) protects against benign ovarian tumors is unknown. A case-control study of pathologically confirmed benign ovarian tumors was conducted in the New York City area and included cases diagnosed from January 1, 1992, to December 31, 1993, and controls identified by random digit dialing. There were 196 cases with serous adenomas, 176 with teratomas, 3...

Reply to R.L. Bowen et al, M. Froehner et al, J.L. Leow et al, and C. Brady et al.

Regarding our article on the association of androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) with increased Alzheimer’s disease risk, Bowen et al, Froehner and Wirth, Leow et al, and Brady et al highlight a number of significant considerations that will prove important in the design of future studies that investigate the association of ADT and Alzheimer’s disease. We agree with Bowen et al and Leow et al tha...

C-start: optimal start of larval fish

We investigate the C-start escape response of larval fish by combining flow simulations using remeshed vortex methods with an evolutionary optimization. We test the hypothesis of the optimality of C-start of larval fish by simulations of larval-shaped, twoand three-dimensional self-propelled swimmers. We optimize for the distance travelled by the swimmer during its initial bout, bounding the sh...
