Condom-Use Errors Common, Study
Finds
An analysis of data from 50 studies across 14 countries finds that
errors in using condoms are common and could contribute to unwanted
pregnancies or sexually transmitted infections.
Stephanie Sanders and colleagues at The Kinsey Institute for Research
in Sex, Gender, and Reproduction at Indiana University looked at 16 years
of data on the issue, mainly from the United States and Britain.
They found that:
- Between 17 and 51 percent of people put condoms on partway during
intercourse (dangerous because fluids can be exchanged prior to
ejaculation). Between 13 percent and 45 percent of respondents said they
took a condom off before intercourse had finished. - Between one-quarter and one-half of respondents said they failed to
leave enough room at the tip of the condom for semen to collect. - 75 percent of men and 82 percent of women failed to check condoms for
damage prior to use. - Condom breakages occurred for between about 1 percent and 41 percent
of respondents, depending on the study, and between about 13 and 19
percent said they had experienced condom slippage. - Between 4 percent and just over 30 percent of participants said they
had put a condom on inside-out, then flipped it the other way around,
potentially upping the risk for transmission of bodily fluids. - Between 2 percent and 11 percent of people opened condom packets with
a sharp object or somehow exposed the condom to rips/tears. Between 1
percent and 3 percent of respondents said they had re-used a condom during
a sexual encounter.
The findings were reported in the journal Sexual Health.

Attempt at First Quadruple Limb Transplant
Fails
What was touted as the world’s first quadruple limb transplant has
failed, a Turkish hospital says.
Because of incompatibility issues, doctors at Ankara’s Hacettepe
University Hospital had to remove two arms and two legs attached to a
27-year-old man on Friday, Agence-France Presse reported. The
ground-breaking operation involved a 52-member surgical team.
“The science council (of the hospital) decided to remove the organs one
by one due to additional metabolic complications in the following
process,” the hospital said in a news release. “Our patient is now in the
intensive care unit. The critical process is still continuing,” it said.
The patient’s heart and vascular system were unable to maintain the new
limbs, AFP said.
The young man, Sevket Cavdar, had lost his limbs 14 years ago after
getting electrocuted, news reports said.

14 Sickened in Jimmy John‘s Restaurant E. Coli
Outbreak: CDC
Fourteen people across six states have developed E. coli-linked illness
from sprouts they most likely ate at a Jimmy John’s Restaurant, the U.S.
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said late Friday.
Five such cases have occurred in Iowa, three in Missouri, two each in
Kansas and Michigan, and one case each in Arkansas and Wisconsin, the
agency said. So far, there have been no deaths linked to the outbreak,
although two people have been hospitalized.
“Preliminary results of the epidemiologic and traceback investigations
indicate eating raw clover sprouts at Jimmy John’s restaurants is the
likely cause of this outbreak,” the CDC said in a news release.
The agency advised that consumers avoid eating uncooked sprouts and
“children, older adults, pregnant women, and persons with weakened immune
systems should [especially] avoid eating raw sprouts of any kind.”
