Study reveals using oral contraceptives leads to a higher risk of breast cancer among women 

A recent study established the link between the usage of oral contraceptives and the increased risk of breast cancer. Know more about it.&nbsp;

Many women across the world use oral contraceptives to avoid unwanted pregnancies. However, a recent study released by the University of Oxford reportedly established the link between the usage of progestogen and the increased risk of breast cancer.&nbsp;
The study was published in PLOS Medicine based on data from 9,498 women who developed breast cancer in the age group of the 20s and 40s.&nbsp; After the usage of oral contraceptives for 5 years it was found that almost 8 in every 100,000 women in the age group of 16 to 20 and 265 in every 100,000 aged between 35 to 39 were found to have developed breast cancer.&nbsp;
Most contraceptive pills contain oestrogen and progestogen, which are responsible for increasing the risk of breast cancer by 20-30 per cent among users.

World's first HIV positive sperm bank launched in New Zealand

To make lives of those living with HIV easier and eradicate stigmas associated with the virus, the world's first HIV positive sperm bank has been launched in New Zealand. Called Sperm Positive, it currently has three male donors who are living with the virus but the level is so low that it cannot be detected with the conventional methods. So essentially, it means that the virus cannot be passed on and the patients' treatment is working well. The online sperm bank will make this clear to people who need donors. The initiative is a collaboration between New Zealand Aids Foundation, Positive Women Inc and Body Positive.&nbsp;

Study says ability to walk while multi tasking declines at this age. Find out

The team observed their&nbsp;ability to walk under normal and quiet conditions and also while&nbsp;performing a mental arithmetic task.

According to a new study the ability of humans to walk and talk together declines ten years earlier than was previously thought. &nbsp;
Researchers at Harvard Medical School and Hebrew SeniorLife state that this function starts diminishing as early by the age of 55 instead of at 65 and should be monitored to prevent falls and injuries.&nbsp;
A large group pf people between the ages of 40 and 64 years participated in the study. The team observed their ability to walk under normal and quiet conditions and also while performing a mental arithmetic task. The latter situation caused noticeable changes in their gaits that generally start at early 60.&nbsp;
The study was published in The Lancet Healthy Longevity and concluded that age-related decline of dual-task walking may indicate, at a much earlier age, when interventions should start.&nbsp;
