| Mindfulness can increase wellbeing and reduce stress in school children Posted: 19 Jun 2013 04:51 PM PDT Mindfulness -- a mental training that develops sustained attention that can change the ways people think, act and feel -- could reduce symptoms of stress and depression and promote wellbeing among school children, according to a new study.  |
| Some parents want their child to redeem their broken dreams Posted: 19 Jun 2013 04:49 PM PDT Some parents desire for their children to fulfill their own unrealized ambitions, just as psychologists have long theorized, according to a new first-of-its-kind study.  |
| Brain can plan actions toward things the eye doesn't see Posted: 19 Jun 2013 01:47 PM PDT People can plan strategic movements to several different targets at the same time, even when they see far fewer targets than are actually present, according to a new study.  |
| Dietary fructose causes liver damage in animal model Posted: 19 Jun 2013 01:44 PM PDT The role of dietary fructose in the development of obesity and fatty liver diseases remains controversial, with previous studies indicating that the problems resulted from fructose and a diet too high in calories. However, a new study conducted in an animal model showed that fructose rapidly caused liver damage even without weight gain. The researchers found that over the six-week study period liver damage more than doubled in the animals fed a high-fructose diet as compared to those in the control group.  |
| Nearly 7 in 10 Americans are on prescription drugs Posted: 19 Jun 2013 10:23 AM PDT Nearly 70 percent of Americans are on at least one prescription drug, and more than half take two, researchers say.  |

| Distracted walking: Injuries soar for pedestrians on phones Posted: 19 Jun 2013 07:10 AM PDT More than 1,500 pedestrians were estimated to be treated in emergency rooms in 2010 for injuries related to using a cell phone while walking, according to a new nationwide study.  |
| Moderate drinking during pregnancy does not seem to harm baby's neurodevelopment, study suggests Posted: 17 Jun 2013 05:27 PM PDT Moderate drinking during pregnancy -- 3 to 7 glasses of alcohol a week -- does not seem to harm fetal neurodevelopment, as indicated by the child's ability to balance, suggests a large study. In the study, moderate alcohol intake was a marker for social advantage, which may itself be the key factor in better balance, possibly overriding subtle harmful effects of moderate alcohol use, say the authors.  |
