| Delay in age of walking can herald muscular dystrophy in boys with cognitive delays Posted: 15 Sep 2014 09:08 AM PDT The timing of a toddler's first steps is an important developmental milestone, but a slight delay in walking is typically not a cause of concern by itself. Now a duo of researchers has found that when walking and cognitive delays occur in concert, the combination could comprise the earliest of signals heralding a rare but devastating disorder known as Duchenne muscular dystrophy. |
| Posted: 15 Sep 2014 09:08 AM PDT A new study reveals that people find the smell of others with similar political opinions to be attractive, suggesting that one of the reasons why so many spouses share similar political views is because they were initially and subconsciously attracted to each other's body odor. |
| Vitamin E intake critical during 'the first 1,000 days' Posted: 15 Sep 2014 05:39 AM PDT Amid conflicting reports about the need for vitamin E and how much is enough, a new analysis published today suggests that adequate levels of this essential micronutrient are especially critical for the very young, the elderly, and women who are or may become pregnant. |
| To curb violent tendencies, start young Posted: 15 Sep 2014 05:38 AM PDT Aggressive children are less likely to become violent criminals or psychiatrically troubled adults if they receive intensive early intervention, says a new study based on more than two decades of research. The study provides some of the strongest evidence yet that violent tendencies can be curbed. |
| Autism: Change schools -- not students -- for more inclusive education Posted: 15 Sep 2014 05:37 AM PDT A study of Australian mothers' attempts to access more appropriate schooling for their autistic children offers a new perspective on inclusive education policies and practices. |
| Walking or cycling to work improves wellbeing, researchers find Posted: 14 Sep 2014 06:10 PM PDT Walking or cycling to work is better for people's mental health than driving to work, according to new research by health economists. A report reveals that people who stopped driving and started walking or cycling to work benefited from improved wellbeing. In particular, active commuters felt better able to concentrate and were less under strain than if they traveled by car. |
