- The Presence of Jane Kenyon
Of course there were intimations that Kenyon's work would find a significant audience before her early death from leukemia in 1995, particularly given the success of A Life Together, Bill Moyers' award-winning television documentary about her and her husband, Donald Hall. The remarkable "Having It Out with Melancholy," from Kenyon's 1993 volume, Constance, is often quoted in small excerpts in newspapers and psychological studies, both to show a sympathetic understanding of chronic depression and as an example of the artistic temperament's proclivities toward illness.

- Never Underestimate the Power of a Puppy's Love
True, in the course of the story there are a few too many people, especially women, screeching "puppeeeeeeee!" and [Bruce Goldstein] is a little too fond of puns such as "a new leash on life" or "My American Pet Express, never leave home without it." But these lapses are forgivable and I found myself rooting for Bruce and Ozzy. Puppy Chow Is Better Than Prozac" is a fast read but not necessarily an easy one.

The reader learns about [Crohn]'s disease - a chronic inflammatory bowel illness - in great detail, and suffers through bouts of debilitating depression, slow recovery and relapses.

- Androgen Use Could Help Millions of American Women; American Teens Need Education About Performance Enhancing Drugs Says Aace
CHICAGO, April 29 /U.S. Newswire/ -- Research shows that about 43 percent of all women between the ages of 18 and 59 suffer from female sexual dysfunction. As many as two-thirds of those may have low androgen levels, according to Andre Guay MD, endocrinologist at Harvard Medical School. The research was presented Saturday at the 15th Annual Meeting and Clinical Congress of the American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists. Dr. Guay cited many factors involved in decreased libido, including depression, anxiety, chronic illness, medications, menopause, and androgen deficiency. Androgen deficiency itself can be caused by complications in the ovarian, adrenal, pituitary, and hypothalamic systems.
