| Effects of chronic stress can be traced to your genes Posted: 05 Nov 2013 02:13 PM PST New research suggests that if you're working for a really bad boss over a long period of time, that experience may play out at the level of gene expression in your immune system.  |
| Report shows extent to which social background matters for academic success Posted: 05 Nov 2013 12:29 PM PST Children of similar intelligence have very different levels of educational attainment depending on their social backgrounds, says a large-scale study. The research team studied cohorts of children born in Britain and Sweden from the 1940s to the 1970s. They found that bright children from advantaged social backgrounds were twice as likely to achieve A-levels as similarly able children from the least advantaged social backgrounds.  |

Researchers from Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis and the Marion County Public Health Department found that residents of the community have much higher rates of diabetes, hypertension, heart disease and stroke than in other areas of Marion County.  |
| Bad boys: Research predicts whether boys will grow out of it or not Posted: 05 Nov 2013 05:15 AM PST Using the hi-tech tools of a new field called neurogenetics and a few simple questions for parents, a researcher is beginning to understand which boys are simply being boys and which may be headed for trouble.  |
| New ligament discovered‬ in the human knee Posted: 05 Nov 2013 05:13 AM PST Two knee surgeons have discovered a previously unknown ligament in the human knee. This ligament appears to play an important role in patients with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears.  |
| iPhone app offers individual hearing support Posted: 05 Nov 2013 05:12 AM PST Transmission losses and background noise can considerably impair speech intelligibility when making calls on a cell phone – particularly for people who suffer from hearing loss. Hearing research scientists have now developed an app for the iPhone that improves speech intelligibility for internet phone calls made using Voice over IP technology. In addition to allowing adjustment of loudness and sound settings to meet individual preferences, the app is also able to compensate for hearing loss.  |
| Intelligent training with a fitness shirt and an e-bike Posted: 05 Nov 2013 05:12 AM PST Fabric manufacturers are experiencing a revolution at present: if clothing previously offered protection against the cold, rain, and snow, the trend now is toward intelligent, proactive, high-tech textiles like self-cleaning jackets, gloves that recognize toxins, and ski anoraks with integrated navigational devices to make life easier for those wearing them. Clever clothing like this is being developed.  |
