TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the majority of teenagers have antibody titers (≥1:32) to TSST-1 and are presumed to be protected from mTSS, and the findings suggest that black women may be more susceptible to m TSS than previously thought.

TL;DR: Environmental factors appear to be important in promoting the development of anti-TSST-1 antibodies, as there was a significant difference in titers between Japanese women living in Tokyo and those living in the United States.

TL;DR: Nasal carriage of S. aureus appears to be persistent and the best predicator of subsequent colonization, whereas vaginal and anal carriage appear to be more transient.

TL;DR: This approach provides a combination of gynecological, microbiological and self-reported (diary recall) methodologies in order to assess tampon safety during use more thoroughly than has previously been reported, and it supports a comparable safety profile for the experimental tampon and a currently marketed tampon.

TL;DR: Olestra did not affect the activity of quiescent mild to moderate IBD, and Gastrointestinal symptoms were comparable between the treatment groups, and there were no treatment-related laboratory abnormalities.
