| New treatment for obstructive sleep apnea Posted: 15 Aug 2014 04:33 PM PDT Certain hospitals are beginning to offer a new FDA-approved treatment for obstructive sleep apnea. |
| Depression often untreated in Parkinson's disease Posted: 15 Aug 2014 04:26 PM PDT Depression is known to be a common symptom of Parkinson's disease, but remains untreated for many patients, according to a new study. In fact, depression is the most prevalent non-motor symptom of Parkinson's, a chronic neurodegenerative disorder typically associated with movement dysfunction. Among those with high levels of depressive symptoms, only one-third had been prescribed antidepressants before the study began, and even fewer saw social workers or mental health professionals for counseling. |
| Visual exposure predicts infants' ability to follow another's gaze Posted: 15 Aug 2014 04:25 PM PDT Following another person's gaze can reveal a wealth of information critical to social interactions and also to safety. Gaze following typically emerges in infancy, and new research looking at preterm infants suggests that it's visual experience, not maturational age, that underlies this critical ability. |
| Bigger government makes for more satisfied people, study finds Posted: 15 Aug 2014 04:23 PM PDT People living in countries with governments that spend more on social services report being more contented, according to a new study. |
| Advances in understanding of preterm birth Posted: 15 Aug 2014 04:22 PM PDT Medical researchers have authored a major article about the most important problem in obstetrics: preterm labor. The article delivers a powerful message: preterm birth is not one condition, but many, and provides a framework for meeting this challenge. |
| Do gut bacteria rule our minds? In an ecosystem within us, microbes evolved to sway food choices Posted: 15 Aug 2014 04:22 PM PDT It sounds like science fiction, but it seems that bacteria within us -- which outnumber our own cells about 100-fold -- may very well be affecting both our cravings and moods to get us to eat what they want, and often are driving us toward obesity. |
| Personal, public costs of scientific misconduct calculated Posted: 15 Aug 2014 07:22 AM PDT Much has been assumed about the private and public damage of scientific misconduct. Yet few have tried to measure the costs to perpetrators and to society. A recent study calculated some of the career impacts, as well as federal funding wasted, when biomedical research papers are retracted. |
| Experts close to perfect in determining truth in interrogations using active question methods Posted: 15 Aug 2014 07:22 AM PDT Determining deception is a tool of the trade for law enforcement. But prior research has shown that lie detecting is a 50/50 shot for experts and non-experts alike. So what exactly can we do to find out the truth? A recent study found that using active questioning of individuals yielded near-perfect results, 97.8 percent, in detecting deception. |
| Posted: 14 Aug 2014 06:24 PM PDT Researchers have developed a new, targeted method for perforating cell membranes in order to deliver drugs to, or manipulate the genes of, individual cells. |
