| Link between allergies, increased risk of blood cancers in women Posted: 22 Nov 2013 01:54 PM PST A team of scientists looking into the interplay of the immune system and cancer have found a link between a history of airborne allergies – in particular to plants, grass and trees – with risk of blood cancers in women. |
| Oatmeal beats ready-to-eat breakfast cereal at improving appetite control Posted: 22 Nov 2013 10:24 AM PST While obesity is a complex and multifaceted problem, much of the strategy behind combating it boils down to healthy eating habits. Taking into account the primary role of subjective appetite sensations in said habits, a group of researchers recently compared the satiety impact of two popular breakfast choices: oatmeal and ready-to-eat breakfast cereal. |
| Sugar-sweetened beverage consumption increases endometrial cancer risk Posted: 22 Nov 2013 10:23 AM PST Postmenopausal women who consumed sugar-sweetened beverages were more likely to develop the most common type of endometrial cancer compared with women who did not drink sugar-sweetened beverages, according to a study published. |
| Why some ear, respiratory infections become chronic Posted: 22 Nov 2013 07:39 AM PST Scientists have figured out how a bacterium that causes ear and respiratory illnesses is able to elude immune detection in the middle ear, likely contributing to chronic or recurrent infections in adults and children. |
| Lowering three risk factors could cut obesity-related risk of heart disease by more than half Posted: 21 Nov 2013 07:52 PM PST Controlling blood pressure, serum cholesterol, and blood glucose may substantially reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke associated with being overweight or obese. |
| Heavy drinking bad for marriage if only one spouse drinks Posted: 21 Nov 2013 01:32 PM PST Do drinking and marriage mix? That depends on who's doing the drinking -- and how much -- according to a recent study. |
| Time flies - when you are looking at an unattractive face Posted: 21 Nov 2013 08:18 AM PST The common expression 'time flies when you're having fun' suggests that people's perception of duration is moderated by the impact of their emotions and the activities they are performing; in other words, emotions such as fear or sadness affect people's perception of time. Now, a study among female students suggests that visual stimuli, such as attractive or unattractive faces, can make time fly or drag. |
| Teacher-child interactions support kids' development in different areas Posted: 21 Nov 2013 06:15 AM PST Research hasn't always been clear about which aspects of interactions are most important to how children do academically and socially. A new study of 1,400 preschoolers and 325 early childhood teachers from across the country that used a novel approach to analyzing data in this area has identified which types of teacher-child interactions support children's learning and development in which areas. |
| Learning, literacy, feminism: empowering reluctant readers using The Hunger Games Posted: 21 Nov 2013 06:14 AM PST Popular fiction can have a dramatic impact on young people's willingness to read, as the Harry Potter franchise has demonstrated, but three researchers suggest that other lessons may also be learned. To test their theory, they set up a girls-only book club to study the popular series, The Hunger Games. Their findings are now available in a detailed case study. |
