| Children who go to preschool achieve higher grades at high school graduation, British study shows Posted: 19 Sep 2014 07:44 AM PDT A child is likely to achieve better grades in high school and ultimately earn higher wages if they have received a preschool education, a new UK study suggests. High school achievement was rated by grades achieved for the General Certificate of Secondary Education (GCSE) in the UK. |
| Sibling bullying linked to later depression, self-harm Posted: 19 Sep 2014 07:02 AM PDT A new study has found that children who revealed they had been bullied by their brothers or sisters several times a week or more during early adolescence were twice as likely to report being clinically depressed as young adults. |
| Bad cold or Enterovirus 68? Infectious diseases specialist answers common questions Posted: 19 Sep 2014 06:27 AM PDT Does your child have Enterovirus 68 or just a bad cold? It can be hard to tell the difference between the two, but an infectious diseases specialist suggests how parents should treat their kids' symptoms and when to seek medical attention. |
| Even Without Kids, Couples Eat Frequent Family Meals Posted: 19 Sep 2014 05:37 AM PDT Couples and other adult family members living without minors in the house are just as likely as adults living with young children or adolescents to eat family meals at home on most days of the week, new research suggests. |
| Double mastectomy: 'Angelina Effect' in referrals for genetic counseling and breast cancer testing Posted: 18 Sep 2014 06:01 PM PDT Referrals for genetic counseling and testing for breast cancer risk more than doubled across the UK after actress Angelina Jolie announced in May last year that she tested positive for a BRCA1 gene mutation and underwent a double mastectomy. The rise in referrals continued through to October long after the announcement was made, a study shows. |
| Vitamin E, selenium supplements unlikely to affect age-related cataracts in men Posted: 18 Sep 2014 01:23 PM PDT Taking daily supplements of selenium or vitamin E appears to have no significant effect on the development of age-related cataracts in men. Some research, including animal studies, has suggested that dietary nutrients can have an effect on the onset and progression of cataracts. Vitamin E and selenium are of particular interest. |
| Posted: 18 Sep 2014 12:08 PM PDT A common Asian spice and cancer-hampering molecules show promise in slowing mesothelioma, cancer of the lung lining linked to asbestos. Scientists demonstrate curcumin and cancer-inhibiting peptides increase a protein inhibitor that slows mesothelioma. |
| Physical activity in older adults linked to brain white-matter integrity Posted: 17 Sep 2014 11:14 AM PDT Like everything else in the body, the white-matter fibers that allow communication between brain regions also decline with age. In a new study, researchers found a strong association between the structural integrity of these white-matter tracts and an older person's level of daily activity -- not just the degree to which he or she engaged in moderate or vigorous exercise, but also whether the person was sedentary the rest of the time. |
