| App paired with sensor measures stress, delivers advice to cope in real time Posted: 04 Jun 2014 06:41 AM PDT A system that combines a mobile application and sensor to detect stress in parents has been developed by computer scientists. It delivers research-based strategies to help decrease parents' stress during emotionally charged interactions with their children. The system was initially tested on a small group of parents of children with ADHD.  |
| Short intervals between pregnancies result in decreased pregnancy length Posted: 04 Jun 2014 06:39 AM PDT Women who have short intervals between pregnancies of less than 18 months are more likely to see a decrease in the length of subsequent pregnancies, finds a new study. The study looked at 454,716 live births from women with two or more pregnancies over a six year period. The researchers looked at the influence of inadequate birth spacing on the duration of the subsequent pregnancy.  |
| Are your pets disturbing your sleep? You’re not alone Posted: 03 Jun 2014 04:38 PM PDT While countless pet owners peacefully sleep with a warm pet nearby, a new study finds an increase in the number of people experiencing sleep disturbances because of their pets.  |
| Parents should stock up on healthy food for growing teens Posted: 03 Jun 2014 01:19 PM PDT Refrigerators and pantries across the country are bracing for the seasonal assault from teenagers who are now done with school and will eat most of their meals at home for the summer months.  |
| Acne can't be prevented or cured, but it can be treated effectively Posted: 03 Jun 2014 12:10 PM PDT Recent advances in both medications and approaches to care have significantly reduced the impact acne once had on both skin and self-esteem. Acne doesn't discriminate by gender or race, and while it's most common in adolescents and young adults it can appear at later ages, especially in women. There's no way to prevent acne, there's no cure, and today's over-the-counter remedies contain the same basic ingredients as those on drugstore shelves decades ago.  |
| Brain signals link physical fitness to better language skills in kids Posted: 03 Jun 2014 08:43 AM PDT Children who are physically fit have faster and more robust neuro-electrical brain responses during reading than their less-fit peers, researchers report. These differences correspond with better language skills in the children who are more fit, and occur whether they're reading straightforward sentences or sentences that contain errors of grammar or syntax.  |
| Posted: 02 Jun 2014 12:59 PM PDT An external laser device can detect the present of alcohol vapors in passing vehicles. The use of the device is simple: The laser system is set up on the side of the road to monitor each car that passes by. If alcohol vapors are detected in the car, a message with a photo of the car including its license plate is sent to a police officer waiting down the road. Then, the police officer stops the car and checks for signs of alcohol using conventional tests.  |
| Evening blue light exposure linked to increased hunger Posted: 02 Jun 2014 08:59 AM PDT A new study suggests that blue-enriched light exposure immediately before and during the evening meal may increase hunger and alter metabolism. Results show that blue-enriched light exposure, compared with dim light exposure, was associated with an increase in hunger that began 15 minutes after light onset and was still present almost two hours after the meal. Blue light exposure also decreased sleepiness and resulted in higher measures of insulin resistance.  |
