Today, President Trump signed an executive order to remove the United States from the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP). The United States joined the trade deal during the Obama Administration, and it has been heavily criticized by both Republicans and Democrats. The Roosevelt Institute, a liberal think tank, reported that TPP was a bad deal for the U. S., and would have little to no effect on the U. S. GDP. They also stated that it could lead to a raise in the net unemployment rate, as high import competition "would shed more jobs in the labor-intensive industries."

Screenings, Hpv Vaccine Have Cut Upstate Cervical Cancer Deaths

... 800 women in the state were diagnosed with the disease, and there were 250 deaths – numbers that could go lower if testing rates go higher. “The downward trend in cervical cancer diagnoses and deaths is a medical success story that is directly attributable to women getting regular Pap tests to spot precancerous cells before they turn into cancer, and to parents following the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s recommendation that girls and boys, starting at age 11, receive the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine,” Bartels said in a news release. Nearly all cases of cervical cancer are caused by HPV. According to the CDC, more than 90 percent of cervical cancer cases can be prevented through screenings and vaccinations. These are the screening recommendations for women. Ages 21 to 29: Have first Pap test at age 21 and get one every three years through age 29. Ages 30 to 65: Get a Pap test every three years, or have simultaneous Pap and HPV tests every five years. Ages 65 and older: No Pap test required if recent Pap tests are normal. The best way to prevent the occurrence of cervical cancer is to safeguard against HPV, a common, ...

... goal of a screening program is to ultimately reduce mortality from cervical cancer, then you must have accurate estimates within the population targeted by those programs - adult women with a cervix. These findings motivate us to better understand why, despite the wide availability of screening and treatment, older and black women are still dying from cervical cancer at such high rates in the United States.". Excluding women with a history of a hysterectomy, something that has not been done in previous calculations, makes a sizable difference since one in five women in the United States have had a hysterectomy, with the number slightly higher in black women than white women. Current guidelines do not recommend cervical cancer screening after the age of 65, since it was believed that older women were at much less risk. These new findings suggest the risk remains - and even increases - in older women. "These data tell us that as long as a woman retains her cervix, ...
