There is no higher study that could explain that, an abortion causes a post-abortion syndrome or any psychological distress, till to date, U.S. researchers said.
Researchers reviewed 21 high-quality studies which involve more than 150,000 women undergone in the procedure of abortion and found no considerable differences in long-term mental health.
“The best collected data do not support any existence of a ‘post-abortion syndrome’ similar to post-traumatic stress disorder,” lead researcher said.
“If the objective is to aid women, policy decisions should not warp science with political agendas for advancement,” added Vignetta Charles.
Casting doubts on government health recommendations that infants and new mothers should avoid eating peanuts, a new study says that eating peanuts early in life may help to avoid developing peanut allergy.
In their study, the researchers looked at the occurrence of peanut allergy in 8,600 Jewish school-age children in Israel and the UK. Then they analyzed data on peanut consumption by infants ages four to 24 months.
The researchers found that the prevalence of peanut allergy among the U.K students was 1.85 percent while it was 0.17 percent among the Israeli children. The researchers also found that almost 69 percent Israeli children started eating peanuts at nine months of age while these rates were only 10 percent among the British children.
US researchers say that women who suffer regular migraines may find some comfort to know that they have 
a considerable lower risk of developing breast cancer.
The researchers found a 30 percent lower risk for breast cancer in their study that included 3,412 women.
However, the researchers warned that more work was needed to confirm the link.
According an estimate, almost 30% women have to suffer at least one migraine in their lifetime.
Scientists have linked the condition (includes nausea and visual disturbance besides severe headaches) with fluctuating hormones levels.
Pregnancy and the use of the contraceptive pill that affect hormone levels can also cause noticeable changes in the frequency and severity of migraines.
The study is the first to look at whether these changes have an effect on the chances of developing breast cancer.
Pregnancy rates are greatly higher in those teens who watch numerous TV program with sexual dialogue and behavior. First innovative research of its own kind suggests.
This is the first study which links viewing habits with teen pregnancy, said lead author Anita Chandra, a behavioral scientist. Teens who regularly watched sexually explicit shows were more likely to become pregnant as those who watched such programs off and on.
Previous research had already concluded that, watching profuse sex on TV can manipulate teens to have sex in immaturity.
Shows, that propagate sexual behavior without the risks can direct teens to have vulnerable sex “before they’re ready to make responsible and informed decisions,” Chandra said.
The study involved 2,003, 12 to 17 year-old girls and boys nationwide, inquired by telephone about their favorite TV programs in 2001. Teens were re-interviewed twice, the last time in 2004, and asked about pregnancy. Among girls, 58 became pregnant during the follow-up, and among boys, 33 said they had gotten a girl pregnant.
