| Cancer increasing as babyboomers age Posted: 27 Nov 2013 02:00 PM PST As 10,000 baby boomers reach 65 each day, the incidence of cancer is increasing, estimated to increase by 67% between 2010 and 2030, bringing attention to the nation's response to cancer care. Cancer is diagnosed at a higher rate, accounts for more survivors, and results in more deaths than in younger patients.  |

| Circadian timing may give edge to West Coast NFL teams in night games Posted: 27 Nov 2013 08:53 AM PST A new analysis of National Football League results suggests that the body's natural circadian timing gives a performance advantage to West Coast teams when they play East Coast teams at night.  |
| Mental health conditions cause greater stigma in families than physical problems Posted: 27 Nov 2013 08:03 AM PST Mental and physical illnesses necessarily impact upon the lives of the relatives of those afflicted by them, all the more so in families where a member has a mental illness, because they suffer more discrimination.

| Memo to big box retailers: Goodwill has a shelf life Posted: 26 Nov 2013 09:39 AM PST Big box retailers may have had the secret to combating online retailers all along: instant gratification. A new study warns that the positive feelings consumers experience when receiving a discounted price fades dramatically if the consumer is then forced to wait for the product.  |
| Medical research needs kids, two-thirds of parents unaware of opportunities Posted: 26 Nov 2013 09:37 AM PST To improve healthcare for children, medical research that involves kids is a must. Yet, only five percent of parents say their children have ever participated in any type of medical research.  |
| When the living, deceased don't agree on organ donation Posted: 26 Nov 2013 06:27 AM PST All 50 states have adopted laws giving individuals the right to consent to organ donation after death via a signed donor card or driver's license, or by enrollment in a donor registry. While such laws give hospitals legal authority to proceed with organ procurement without consent of the registered donor's family, a new study shows that organ procurement organizations' implementation has been inconsistent and incomplete.  |
