The book ignited a revolution, breaking free from conventional wisdom that said children required schedules, discipline and little affection. Instead, “The Common Sense Book of Baby and Childcare,” written by Dr. Benjamin Spock and published in 1946, encouraged parents to think for themselves and to trust their instincts. Spock’s book was a huge best-seller, second

Thanks to Science, bionic robots made from fully prosthetic limbs are now possible. We’ve come long from a pure Sci-Fi standpoint in The Six Million Dollar Man to the present age where limbs can be replaced with fully-functional bionic ones. Kinesthesia/proprioception refers to the awareness of the brain to identify movement and positioning of one’s

Applebees’ $1 drink deals have long been a pretty great way to get some bang for your (literal) buck. But September’s $1 drink boasts FIVE different types of alcohol for just one dollar. The “Adios” is a bright blue cocktail that packs a serious (and quite alcoholic) punch. It’s made up of a mix of

Using a game designed for sub-Saharan Africa, Michigan State University researchers are rehabilitating children who suffer from cognitive impairment after surviving life-threatening diseases such as malaria and HIV. Known as Brain Powered Games, the project is the first of its kind, now providing both rehabilitation and computer-based assessment for African children. “The Brain Powered Games

The abnormal expression of many genes that have previously been associated with autism are also present in cases of violent psychopathy, a new study shows. The researchers used stem cell technology to analyze the expression of genes and proteins in the brain cells of psychopathic violent offenders. Published in Molecular Psychiatry, the findings may open

Men should be included in clinical trials of new breast cancer treatments, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration says. “Less than 1 percent of all breast cancer cases occur in men, but men are more likely to be diagnosed at an older age and have a more advanced stage of disease. As breast cancer in

• In his forties, Ben Raue took it upon himself to show how realistic it is to lose weight and build muscle on a vegan diet. • He combined HIIT and cardio with weight training to build muscle while getting lean. • Meanwhile, he continued to get all of his necessary protein from food sources

Supply shortages of medicines in these weeks all the rage. Affected countless patients who cannot be cared for in the pharmacy, for example, immediately prescribed blood pressure medication, or your Thyroid medication. What this means for the patient, explains pharmacist Ursula Funke, President of the pharmacists Association of Hesse. A prescription cannot be supplied, the

Colorectal cancer outcomes may improve by genetically altering an immune-regulatory protein in cancer cells, making the cells more vulnerable to chemotherapy. That’s according to new Mayo Clinic research. The findings, published this month in Oncogene, indicate that increasing the expression of the PD-L1 protein in colorectal cancer cells can improve the effectiveness of chemotherapy. “These

In one of the largest studies of its kind, researchers at Orlando Health are making new progress in finding ways to detect a traumatic yet sinister brain injury—and getting closer to preventing further damage. Subconcussive injuries often show no symptoms or immediate effects, but can cause wear and tear on the brain over time with

Gabrielle Union and Eva Longoria have no patience for the implicit “no babies allowed” rule in the world of filmmaking and TV. For these actors, it all began when filmmaker Greta Bellamacina was asked to leave the 2019 Cannes Film Festival red carpet screening of her very own film, Hurt By Paradise — simply because

Vaping is widely assumed to be safer than cigarette smoking, but scientists at the University of North Carolina School of Medicine have uncovered evidence suggesting that vaping promotes the same cellular responses found in smokers who suffer with emphysema. In a study published in the American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, the UNC

Beth Chapman, wife to ‘Dog the Bounty Hunter’ loses battle with cancer Beth Chapman, who with her husband Duane ‘Dog’ Chapman, starred in the popular reality series ‘Dog the Bounty Hunter,’ died Wednesday in a Honolulu hospital. Beth Chapman stood naked in front of a mirror and told her husband, Duane “Dog” Chapman, to look at

Biomedical engineers at Duke University have discovered a pharmaceutical target that, when activated, can reverse bone degradation caused by osteoporosis in mouse models of the disease. “The most widely used drugs currently approved by the FDA to treat osteoporosis can prevent further bone loss, but they don’t help rebuild the bone,” said Shyni Varghese, professor

Long term exposure to pollutants from vehicle exhaust is linked to a heightened risk of the common eye condition age-related macular degeneration, or AMD for short, suggests research published online in the Journal of Investigative Medicine. Exposure to the highest levels of air pollutants was associated with an almost doubling in risk among those aged

Doctor saves the life of an unborn baby with deadly anaemia by injecting blood into his umbilical cord just 20 weeks into the pregnancy Edward Banham’s blood was being attacked by his mother’s immune system  Caused ‘Teddy’s’ heart to start to fail and fluid to accumulate in his organs Teddy underwent five infusions before he

(HealthDay)—Among African-Americans, higher daytime and nighttime systolic blood pressure (SBP) is associated with an increased risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD) events and all-cause mortality independent of blood pressure (BP) levels measured in the clinic, according to a study published online Aug. 14 in JAMA Cardiology. Yuichiro Yano, M.D., Ph.D., from Duke University in Durham, North

People with maltreatment experiences in their childhood have a changed perception of social stimuli later as adults. This is what scientists from the Division of Medical Psychology at the University of Bonn have discovered. Traumatized people found touch stimuli less comforting than people without trauma. They also maintained a greater social distance toward strangers. In

Using an unbiased labeling technique, mathematical modeling, and single cell profiling to trace the footsteps of stem cells and their daughters, researchers at the University of Cambridge (UK), DGIST (S.Korea), and IMBA (Institute of Molecular Biotechnology of the Austrian Academy of Sciences, Austria) have confirmed that two populations of adult stem cells with distinct roles

In a first-of-its kind study, neurologists at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC) tested the use of non-invasive electrical stimulation as a novel therapeutic approach to brain tumors. In an experiment published in Science Advances, the scientists—led by Emiliano Santarnecchi, Ph.D., principal investigator at the Berenson-Allen Center For Non-Invasive Brain Stimulation at BIDMC—demonstrated that applying
