| Fighting parents hurt children's ability to recognize and regulate emotions Posted: 17 Sep 2014 12:19 PM PDT Exposure to verbal and physical aggression between parents may hurt a child's ability to identify and control emotions, according to a longitudinal study. Exposure to conflict and violence in the home can shape children's neurobiological, cognitive, and behavioral responses. |
| Asian Americans lower insulin resistance on traditional diet Posted: 17 Sep 2014 12:19 PM PDT Asian Americans have been shown to lower insulin resistance on a traditional diet, researchers report. One part of this puzzle may lie in the transition from traditional high-fiber, low-fat Asian diets to current westernized diets, which may pose extra risks for those of Asian heritage, says the senior author of the study. |

| Phthalates heighten risk for childhood asthma Posted: 17 Sep 2014 04:32 AM PDT An association between childhood asthma and prenatal exposure to two phthalates used in a diverse array of household products has been discovered by researchers. Phthalates are used in everything from synthetic fragrances to plastic food containers, vinyl flooring, insect repellent, shower curtains, even steering wheels and dashboards ("new car smell" contains phthalates). |
| Effect of magnesium sulfate during pregnancy on very preterm infants Posted: 16 Sep 2014 01:24 PM PDT Magnesium sulfate given intravenously to pregnant women at risk of very preterm birth was not associated with benefit on neurological, behavioral, growth, or functional outcomes in their children at school age, according to a study. |
