| Couch potatoes may be genetically predisposed to being lazy, rat study suggests Posted: 08 Apr 2013 03:47 PM PDT Researchers were able to selectively breed rats that exhibited traits of either extreme activity or extreme laziness. They say these rats indicate that genetics could play a role in exercise motivation, even in humans.  |
| Sustained stress heightens risk of miscarriage Posted: 08 Apr 2013 10:39 AM PDT Researchers have discovered that pregnant women living under continuous political and military stress have a 59 percent increased risk of miscarriage. The findings, based upon studies conducted on women in the Israeli town of Sderot, which is constantly under threat of rocket bombings from Gaza, demonstrate the importance of early intervention provided by health care professionals.  |
| Baseball gambling was common in early days Posted: 08 Apr 2013 10:30 AM PDT In the early days of baseball more than 125 years ago, fun at the ballyard was a sure bet – quite literally.

| Healthy doctors make healthy patients, study finds Posted: 08 Apr 2013 09:32 AM PDT Patients are more likely to follow preventive health practices like getting a flu shot or mammography if their doctors do likewise, researchers have discovered.  |
| Goodbye drafty backside, hello comfort, style in newly designed patient gown Posted: 08 Apr 2013 09:23 AM PDT The drafty backside is finally gone, replaced with comfort, warmth and dignity in a newly designed hospital gown that blends style for the patient with clinical function for the health care team.  |
| Structured reflection improves team performance Posted: 08 Apr 2013 07:32 AM PDT New research indicates that teams improve their performance when they meet in a structured environment in which each member reflects on his or her role and how it relates to the overall performance of the team.  |
