| Less partner abuse, substance abuse and post-partum depression among married women, study finds Posted: 13 Dec 2012 02:23 PM PST Women who are married suffer less partner abuse, substance abuse or post-partum depression around the time of pregnancy than women who are cohabitating or do not have a partner, a new study has found.  |
| Pursuing literary immortality illuminates how the mind works Posted: 13 Dec 2012 12:14 PM PST The initial excitement of hearing a new song fades as it's replayed to death. That's because the brain naturally functions as a kind of ticking time bomb, obliterating the thrill for artistic sounds, images and words by making them familiar over time.  |
| Study promoting coffee drinking benefits needs more research, says dentist Posted: 13 Dec 2012 11:22 AM PST Heavy coffee drinkers have a lower chance of dying from oral cancer, says new research but a dentist is still not ready to recommend coffee drinking to his patients.  |
| Time restrictions on TV advertisements ineffective in reducing youth exposure to alcohol ads Posted: 13 Dec 2012 10:25 AM PST Efforts to reduce underage exposure to alcohol advertising by implementing time restrictions have not worked, according to new research.. The report concluded that time restrictions on alcohol advertising actually increase teen exposure, because companies move the advertising to late night.  |
| Student engineers cook up devices for better cooking Posted: 13 Dec 2012 09:11 AM PST Students in, of all things, a robotics class use engineering skills and advice from a chef to rig up devices to more accurately control cooking temperatures.  |
| Aerobic exercise boosts brain power, review finds Posted: 13 Dec 2012 08:18 AM PST The physical benefits of regular exercise and remaining physically active, especially as we age, are well documented. However, it appears that it is not only the body which benefits from exercise, but the mind too. The evidence for this is published in a new review that focuses on the importance of physical activity in keeping and potentially improving cognitive function throughout life.  |
| No more lying about your age: Scientists can now gauge skin’s true age with new laser technique Posted: 13 Dec 2012 08:18 AM PST While most of us can recognize the signs of lost youth when we peer into the mirror each morning, scientists do not have a standardized way to measure the extent of age damage in skin. Now a group of Taiwanese researchers has used a specialized microscope to peer harmlessly beneath the skin surface to measure natural age-related changes in the sizes of skin cells.  |
| Ability to sit and rise from the floor is closely correlated with all-cause mortality risk Posted: 13 Dec 2012 05:52 AM PST A simple screening test of musculo-skeletal fitness has proved remarkably predictive of all-cause mortality in a study of more than 2000 middle-aged and older men and women.  |
