| Healthy sleep duration linked to less sick time from work Posted: 03 Sep 2014 01:36 PM PDT Sleeping 7 to 8 hours per night is associated with the lowest risk of absence from work due to sickness, a study concludes.

| Posted: 03 Sep 2014 09:18 AM PDT Medical researchers have found that exposure to certain common phenols during pregnancy, especially parabens and triclosan, may disrupt growth of boys during fetal growth and the first years of life. Parabens are commonly used as preservatives in cosmetics and healthcare products and triclosan are an antibacterial agent and pesticide found in some toothpastes and soaps.  |
| 'Family meal' ideal is stressful, impossible for many families Posted: 03 Sep 2014 07:56 AM PDT Magazines, television and other popular media increasingly urge families to return to the kitchen, stressing the importance of home-cooked meals and family dinners to physical health and family well-being.

| Is your restaurant server’s smile genuine? Posted: 03 Sep 2014 06:20 AM PDT New research really makes one think about the old adage service with a smile as it examines counterproductive work behavior (CWB) by restaurant workers towards customers they serve. CWB refers to "volitional acts by employees that harm or intend to harm organizations and their stakeholders," according to the study. It is often considered a form of behavioral strain that may be used to cope with or express negative emotions, or it may be used to directly address the source of the problem.  |
| Dad is important for his children's development Posted: 03 Sep 2014 06:19 AM PDT A sensitive and attentive father has a positive influence on his child's development, but only if he spends a considerable amount of time with the child during its first year, research shows.  |
| On the way to a safe and secure Smart Home Posted: 03 Sep 2014 06:17 AM PDT A growing number of household operations can be managed via the Internet. Today's "Smart Home" promises efficient building management. But often the systems are not secure and can only be retrofitted at great expense. Scientists are working on a software product that defends against hacker attacks before they reach the building.  |
| Activity restriction in pregnancy: New paper outlines physician recommendations on bed rest Posted: 02 Sep 2014 12:11 PM PDT Physicians recommend against the routine use of activity restriction or bed rest, and in a new article outline their recommendations on its use.  |
| Possible neurobiological basis for tradeoff between honesty, self-interest Posted: 02 Sep 2014 08:42 AM PDT What's the price on your integrity? Tell the truth; everyone has a tipping point. We all want to be honest, but at some point, we'll lie if the benefit is great enough. Now, scientists have confirmed the area of the brain in which we make that decision, using advanced imaging techniques to study how the brain makes choices about honesty.  |
