| Jailhouse wine not as delicious as it sounds, could be deadly Posted: 13 Dec 2013 10:55 AM PST In a case series seemingly tailor-made for cinematic tragedy or farce, emergency physicians report severe botulism poisoning from a batch of potato-based "wine" (also known as pruno) cooked up in a Utah prison.  |
| Misunderstanding of palliative care leads to preventable suffering Posted: 13 Dec 2013 10:54 AM PST A new review says palliative care's association with end of life has created an "identity problem" that means the majority of patients facing a serious illness do not benefit from treatment of the physical and psychological symptoms that occur throughout their disease.  |
| Scientists, practitioners don't see eye to eye on repressed memory Posted: 13 Dec 2013 06:48 AM PST Skepticism about repressed traumatic memories has increased over time, but new research shows that psychology researchers and practitioners still tend to hold different beliefs about whether such memories occur and whether they can be accurately retrieved.  |
| True story: Not everyone lies frequently Posted: 13 Dec 2013 06:48 AM PST Does everybody lie? We are taught that this is common sense and that most people tell little white lies. But perhaps this isn't true. A recent paper found that many people are honest most of the time, that many are honest about their lying, and that some lie a lot.  |
| Family structure linked to high blood pressure in African-American men Posted: 12 Dec 2013 03:58 PM PST In a study of African-American men, researchers found that boys who grew up in two-parent homes were less likely to have high blood pressure as adults compared to those raised by a single parent. This is the first study of an African-American population to document an association between childhood family living arrangements and blood pressure.  |
| Study documents secondhand exposure to nicotine from electronic cigarettes Posted: 12 Dec 2013 11:19 AM PST Study compared emissions from electronic and conventional cigarettes, and found that secondhand exposure to nicotine from e-cigarettes is on average 10 times less than from tobacco smoke.  |
| Children with autism benefit from peer solicitation Posted: 12 Dec 2013 11:19 AM PST Peer solicitation – a child inviting another to play – can improve reciprocal social interaction among children with autism, according to a study.  |
| Gender identity, single-sex schools Posted: 11 Dec 2013 10:42 AM PST New research shows not everyone benefits from single-sex education -- especially not those who don't conform to gender norms.  |
