2012-01-30

Winston-Salem, N.C. – Jan. 27, 2012 – Bedwetting isn't always due to problems with the bladder, according to new research by Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center.

Body location plays part in scratching pleasure

2012-01-30

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. – Jan. 27, 2012 – An itch is just an itch. Or is it? New research from Gil Yosipovitch, M.D., Ph.D., professor of dermatology at Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center and a world-renowned itch expert, shows that how good scratching an itch feels is related to the itch's location. While previous studies by Yosipovitch have shown the pleasurability of itching, analysis of itch relief at different body sites and related pleasurability had not been performed until now.

2012-01-30

"Organic transistors, which switch or amplify electronic signals, hold promise for making video displays that bend like book pages or roll and unroll like posters," said Podzorov. But traditional ...
