| How physical exercise protects the brain from stress-induced depression Posted: 25 Sep 2014 10:13 AM PDT Physical exercise has many beneficial effects on human health, including the protection from stress-induced depression. However, until now the mechanisms that mediate this protective effect have been unknown. In a new study in mice, researchers show that exercise training induces changes in skeletal muscle that can purge the blood of a substance that accumulates during stress, and is harmful to the brain. |
| Skirt size increase linked to 33 percent greater postmenopausal breast cancer risk Posted: 24 Sep 2014 06:20 PM PDT Going up a skirt size over a period of 10 years between your mid 20s and mid 50s is linked to a 33 percent greater risk of developing breast cancer after the menopause, finds a large observational study. |
| Better information about prenatal testing leads to fewer tests Posted: 24 Sep 2014 01:04 PM PDT When pregnant women are educated about their choices on prenatal genetic testing, the number of tests actually drops, even when the tests are offered with no out-of-pocket costs, a clinical trial has found. The findings underscore the need for clear information on all prenatal testing options and their possible outcomes, including the option of no testing, before pregnant women decide whether or not to have genetic testing, the authors said. |

Not true, say experts. Recent research has shown that administration of the flu vaccine is safe for kids with egg allergies. |
