| Recent use of some birth control pills may increase breast cancer risk, study suggests Posted: 01 Aug 2014 06:12 AM PDT Women who recently used birth control pills containing high-dose estrogen and a few other formulations had an increased risk for breast cancer, whereas women using some other formulations did not, according to new data. |
| Preterm children do not have an increased risk for dyscalculia, new research suggests Posted: 01 Aug 2014 06:11 AM PDT Preterm children do not suffer from dyscalculia more often than healthy full-term children, experts say, contrary to previous studies. Unlike most other studies, the researchers took the children's IQ into consideration. |
| Study of twins discovers gene mutation linked to short sleep duration Posted: 31 Jul 2014 05:15 PM PDT Researchers who studied 100 twin pairs have identified a gene mutation that may allow the carrier to function normally on less than six hours of sleep per night. The genetic variant also appears to provide greater resistance to the effects of sleep deprivation. |
| Posted: 31 Jul 2014 11:59 AM PDT Neither conscious decision-making or parental upbringing fully explain why some people lean left and others lean right, researchers say. A mix of deep-seated psychology and physiological responses are at the core of political differences. |
| Benefits of e-cigarettes outweigh harms, current evidence suggests Posted: 30 Jul 2014 05:36 PM PDT A major scientific review of available research on the use, content, and safety of e-cigarettes has concluded that -- although long-term health effects of e-cigarette use are unknown -- compared with conventional cigarettes they are likely to be much less harmful to users or bystanders. |
| First grade reading suffers in segregated schools Posted: 29 Jul 2014 07:11 AM PDT A groundbreaking study has found that African-American students in first grade experience smaller gains in reading when they attend segregated schools -- but the students' backgrounds likely are not the cause of the differences. "Researchers and educators, in partnership, must identify the ways and means to promote adequate learning for all students," one researcher concluded. |
