When it comes to preventing unwanted pregnancies, Depo-Provera is highly effective, and that is not up for debate.

One of the greatest dangers inherent to modern aircraft is, in fact, surprisingly mundane: your luggage, and that of your fellow passengers.

During takeoff and landing, luggage can shift out of its original position. In the sky, turbulence can generate immense amounts of force, potentially casting bags out of their bins. And sometimes people make mistakes, whether it is a flight attendant who forgets to latch a compartment or another passenger who decides to cram too many bags into the overhead bin.

Breast meshes are not inherently unsafe; many women report no complications whatsoever, but a growing body of evidence suggests that meshes could actually present a serious danger to women’s health. According to some studies, up to one-third of all women who receive meshes experience symptoms, including intense pain, localized swelling, and, in some cases, visible deformities. Of these women, about 10% are forced to undergo corrective surgery as a result.

In a significant development, the family of a Florida man has filed an unprecedented wrongful death lawsuit against Google. Lawyers for the parents of Jonathan Gavalas claim that the 36-year-old man, who worked with his father’s debt relief business in Jupiter, took his own life after developing a one-sided emotional relationship with Gemini.

The Gavalas family’s lawsuit notes that Jonathan started using Gemini last August to help with writing and shopping.
