College Students Who Feel 'invincible' Unlikely To Accept Vaccines, MU Researcher Finds
Vaccines to protect against sexually transmitted diseases, including HIV and herpes, are being developed and may soon be available to college students. However, limited research has been conducted to determine if students will accept the vaccines once they are available. In a new study, a University of Missouri researcher has found that students who feel invulnerable, or invincible, to physical harm are unlikely to get an HIV vaccine. Alternately, students who feel invulnerable to psychological harm are more likely to get the vaccine.

What Are Gallstones? What Causes Gallstones?
usually involves the surgical removal of the gallbladders. If is common for people who have had their gallbladder removed to experience feelings of bloating and indigestion, especially when they have a high fat meal. Some may pass stools more often than before. How can you prevent gallstones? Such factors that increase the risk of developing gallstones, such as age, sex and ethnic origin cannot be altered. However, it is possible that having a vegetarian diet may reduce the risk of developing gallstones. Vegetarians have a significantly lower risk of developing gallstones, compared to people who eat meat. Many experts say that a diet low in fat and high in fruit and vegetables, including plenty of dietary fiber may help protect people from developing gallstones. Controlling your bodyweight - not allowing yourself to become overweight/obese - may also help prevent the formation of gallstones. However, crash dieting and rapid weight loss are risk factors in the development of gallstones. An animal study indicated that exercise can reduce the risk of developing gallstones. Can we live without our gallbladder? Fortunately, we can live without our gallbladder. The liver produces enough bile to digest a normal diet. If a person"s gallbladder is removed the bile reaches the small intestine from the liver via the hepatic ducts, rather than being stored in the gallbladder. A small proportion of patients who have had their gallbladder removed will experience softer and more frequent stools for a while because their bile flows into the small intestine more often.
