The dark side of fair play Posted: 07 Mar 2014 01:59 PM PST We often think of playing fair as an altru­istic behavior. We're sac­ri­ficing our own poten­tial gain to give others what they deserve. What could be more self­less than that? But new research sug­gests another, darker origin behind the kindly act of fairness. An expert in the evolution of spite has investigated possible explanations for fair behavior that hadn't been considered before.

How the internet is transforming our experience of being ill Posted: 06 Mar 2014 06:39 AM PST The last decade has seen a remarkable shift in how people use the internet in relation to their health and it is now talked of as a routine feature of being ill. This study examined interviews with patients conducted between 2001 and 2013 and explored how people talked about the internet, capturing changing attitudes towards the use of the internet for health across the last decade.

Iron deficiency important to assess in children adopted from institutional settings Posted: 06 Mar 2014 06:37 AM PST Children who spent more time in institutional settings (like orphanages) prior to adoption, and had more severe iron deficiency at the time of adoption, were more likely to have lower IQs and poorer higher-order thinking skills a year later, a new longitudinal study finds. The study -- which followed children adopted into US families from Africa, Asia, Eastern Europe and Asia -- suggests that iron supplements and cognitive interventions could be helpful in counteracting these effects.

Hey, boss! Lose yourself to dance, know yourself better Posted: 06 Mar 2014 06:36 AM PST Could managers gain a new kind of understanding about their interaction with colleagues and employees by 'dancing'? That's the question arising from new research. Management is usually considered a stiff and rational business, decisions made based on fiscal studies, profit margins and market forces. However, researchers have studied whether creative movement ('dance') might improve a manager's awareness concerning their management interaction.

Fertility prospects don't increase significantly when fallopian tubes are preserved following ectopic pregnancy Posted: 05 Mar 2014 04:12 PM PST Pregnancy outcomes were observed in a new study with regard to the two surgical treatments for ectopic pregnancy -- salpingectomy, in which the affected fallopian tube is removed, or salpingotomy, in which the tube is preserved. Ectopic pregnancy affects 3 percent of all pregnancies and is one of the leading causes of maternal death, but the surgical treatment choices have never been compared head to head before this study.

Half of pregnant women are passive smokers, due above all to their partners Posted: 05 Mar 2014 05:47 AM PST As shown in a study carried out by researchers at 13 research centres in Asturias, Gipuzkoa, Sabadell and Valencia, over half of non-smoking pregnant women, 55%, are passive smokers. These women are under the effect of tobacco smoke to a considerable extent because a member of the household, their partner in particular, smokes at home.
