| Whooping cough vaccine recommended for pregnant women amid spike in cases Posted: 09 Sep 2014 11:44 AM PDT Expectant moms should be vaccinated for pertussis, or whooping cough, during their third trimester, according to obstetricians. Those in close contact with the infant also should be up to date with their whooping cough vaccine. |
| Liberal countries have more satisfied citizens while conservatives are happier individuals Posted: 09 Sep 2014 08:27 AM PDT People living in more liberal countries are happier on average than those in less liberal countries, but individually, conservatives are happier than liberals no matter where they live, according to a study of people in 16 Western European countries. |
| Intervention in 6-month-olds with autism eliminates symptoms, developmental delay Posted: 09 Sep 2014 06:37 AM PDT Treatment at the earliest age when autism spectrum disorder is detectable -- in infants as young as 6 months old -- significantly reduces symptoms so that by age 3 most who received the therapy had neither autism nor delay, a research study has found. |
| Exercise before school may reduce ADHD symptoms in kids Posted: 09 Sep 2014 06:37 AM PDT Offering daily, before-school, aerobic activities to younger, at-risk children could help in reducing the symptoms of ADHD in the classroom and at home, research suggests. Signs can include inattentiveness, moodiness and difficulty getting along with others. |
| Eating is addictive but sugar, fat are not like drugs, study says Posted: 09 Sep 2014 06:36 AM PDT People can become addicted to eating for its own sake but not to consuming specific foods such as those high in sugar or fat, research suggests. An international team of scientists has found no strong evidence for people being addicted to the chemical substances in certain foods. |
| Breast milk may be protective against devastating intestinal disorder Posted: 09 Sep 2014 06:21 AM PDT A protein called neuregulin-4 (NRG4)—present in breast milk, but absent from formula, may be protective against the intestinal destruction caused in necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC). Thirty percent of babies with NEC die from their disease, and even survivors can face lifelong consequences that may include removal of part of their intestine and dependence upon intravenous nutrition. Formula feeding is a known risk factor for the disease. |
| Religious youths are less likely to experiment with drugs and alcohol, study finds Posted: 08 Sep 2014 05:43 PM PDT Young people who regularly attend religious services and describe themselves as religious are less likely to experiment with drugs and alcohol, according to a new study. |
| Too many kids with asthma, food allergies lack school emergency plans Posted: 08 Sep 2014 10:54 AM PDT Only one in four students with asthma and half of children with food allergies have emergency health management plans in school, leaving schools inadequately prepared to manage daily needs and handle medical emergencies related to often life-threatening medical conditions, reports a new study. |
| Social networking can help people lose weight, study shows Posted: 08 Sep 2014 06:35 AM PDT Social networking programs designed to help people lose weight could play a role in the global fight against obesity, according to research. Obesity is an increasing issue in developed and developing countries, contributing to other diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, cancer and mental health problems and resulting in rising costs for health services. |
