| Diet, parental behavior and preschool can boost children's IQ Posted: 25 Jan 2013 08:13 AM PST Supplementing children's diets with fish oil, enrolling them in quality preschool, and engaging them in interactive reading all turn out to be effective ways to raise a young child's intelligence, according to a new report.  |
| Do common painkillers cause kidney failure in children? Posted: 25 Jan 2013 07:41 AM PST Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as ibuprofen and naproxen, are commonly used to treat pain and reduce fever in children. However, the use of NSAIDs has been shown to cause acute kidney injury (AKI) in some children. A new study reports the findings on the number of children diagnosed with AKI caused by NSAIDs in one hospital over an 11.5 year span.  |
| No link found between facial shape and aggression Posted: 25 Jan 2013 07:41 AM PST There is not significant evidence to support the association between facial shape and aggression in men, according to a new study.  |
| Video game controllers affect hostility during game play Posted: 25 Jan 2013 07:39 AM PST When selecting a video game to play, opting to turn on your Wii may provide a different experience than playing your Xbox, according to a new study.  |
| Grammar undercuts security of long computer passwords Posted: 24 Jan 2013 09:35 AM PST When writing or speaking, good grammar helps people make themselves be understood. But when used to concoct a long computer password, grammar -- good or bad -- provides crucial hints that can help someone crack that password, researchers have demonstrated.  |
| Can you 'train' yourself to have more willpower? Posted: 24 Jan 2013 09:35 AM PST Researchers say that with a little practice, it may be possible to strengthen and improve your self-control -- and lose more weight.  |
| Brotherly love and the Super Bowl: Win or lose, healthier if you stay close Posted: 24 Jan 2013 09:29 AM PST Siblings who are close as adults -- like brothers/head coaches Jim and John Harbaugh, who will clash in the Super Bowl on Feb. 3 -- are less likely to be depressed and have higher blood pressure over the long haul, says one researcher.  |
| School system favors pupils driven by worry and conscientiousness, Swedish study shows Posted: 24 Jan 2013 06:15 AM PST It is well known that children perform differently at school, but how can two children with the same IQ, similar home backgrounds and the same teacher get completely different grades? A psychologist has successfully predicted secondary school pupils' final grades based on their personality traits.  |
| Lose fat faster before breakfast Posted: 24 Jan 2013 06:14 AM PST People can burn up to 20% more body fat by exercising in the morning on an empty stomach, according to new research.  |
| Drinking water unexpectedly rich in microbial life Posted: 24 Jan 2013 06:14 AM PST Flow cytometry can now be officially used for the quantification of microbial cells in drinking water. The new analytical method provides much more realistic results than the conventional method, in which bacterial colonies are grown on agar plates. The results demonstrate that even good-quality drinking water harbors 100 to 10,000 times more living cells than the conventional plate count method would suggest.  |
| Attitudes to speed among learner drivers predict unsafe driving once qualified Posted: 23 Jan 2013 04:53 PM PST Attitudes to speed and risk-taking on the road develop at the learner driver stage and predict those who will go on to be potentially dangerous drivers once fully licensed, indicates new research.  |
