Study shows people with Type 2 diabetes require ongoing and sustained clinical support
2012-06-14
Research led by the University of Leicester concludes that people newly diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes need ongoing advice from GPs sustained over a number of years rather than a one-off session when they are first diagnosed.
Although a single programme for people with newly diagnosed Type 2 diabetes mellitus shows sustained improvements in some illness beliefs at three years, there is no sustained difference in biomedical or lifestyle outcomes, finds the research published at bmj.com.
The study, funded by Diabetes UK, was led by Professor Kamlesh Khunti, of the University ...
Early learning about spatial relationships boosts understanding of numbers
2012-06-14
Children who are skilled in understanding how shapes fit together to make recognizable objects also have an advantage when it comes to learning the number line and solving math problems, research at the University of Chicago shows.
The work is further evidence of the value of providing young children with early opportunities in spatial learning, which contributes to their ability to mentally manipulate objects and understand spatial relationships, which are important in a wide range of tasks, including reading maps and graphs and understanding diagrams showing how to ...
Inner ear may hold key to ancient primate behavior
2012-06-14
CT scans of fossilized primate skulls or skull fragments from both the Old and New Worlds may shed light on how these extinct animals moved, especially for those species without any known remains, according to an international team of researchers.
The researchers looked at the bony labyrinth in fossil remains and compared them to CT scans previously obtained from living primate species. The bony labyrinth of the inner ear is made up of the cochlea -- the major organ of hearing -- the vestibule and the three semicircular canals which sense head motion and provide input ...
HEALTH ALERT: Matthew Vettese Endorses Disney's Efforts to Promote Healthy Diets
2012-06-14
When it comes to childhood obesity, it typically comes down to two culprits: inactivity and junk food. For the young generation of couch potatoes, television, video games and computers have all been pointed to by experts as a cause for rising health risks among youth. A recent US News article observes the actions of Disney, one of the most major family-oriented media companies. The leading media outlet is preparing to tackle the issue by rebranding itself to promote healthier diets among its young audience. Nutrition expert, Matthew Vettese is proud of the company for taking ...
Psychoeducational intervention changes patient attitudes on clinical trials participation
2012-06-14
Seeking ways to change cancer patients' perceptions and negative attitudes towards clinical trials participation, researchers at Moffitt Cancer Center conducted a study offering two different kinds of intervention to two groups of adults with cancer who had not previously been asked to participate in clinical trials. They found a multimedia psychoeducational intervention to be more effective in changing patients' perceptions and negative attitudes toward clinical trials than standard educational literature.
The study was published in a recent issue of the Journal of Clinical ...
Is it constitutional for states to regulate pharmaceutical gifts and meals to doctors?
2012-06-14
BOSTON (June 13, 2012)—We've all seen them in the waiting room of the doctor's office—pens, notepads, magnets, and clipboards adorned with the logos of brand-name drugs. These freebies may seem inconsequential, but a large and compelling body of evidence shows that even these small gifts may influence which drug a doctor prescribes.
"What most people haven't seen is many of the other giveaways that pharmaceutical and medical-device companies routinely provide to doctors, ranging from elaborate meals in local restaurants to expensive resort travel in the form of continuing ...
Quality Med Inc. of Tucker, GA Considers Consequences of Medical Device Tax
2012-06-14
President Obama's health care law has consistently been attacked by GOP officials throughout recent years, but now, Democrats and Republicans may be acting against it together. According to an article in The Washington Times a law could be passed in January that calls for a 2.3 percent tax increase "on the sales of manufacturers that produce x-rays machines, medical monitors, life-support equipment and other devices." If the repeal goes forward it will mark the 30th GOP attempt to "poke holes" in Obama's health care initiatives. Many experts believe, ...
Videogamers no better at talking while driving
2012-06-14
DURHAM, N.C. -- No matter how much time you've spent training your brain to multitask by playing "Call of Duty," you're probably no better at talking on the phone while driving than anybody else.
A study by the Visual Cognition Laboratory at Duke University wanted to see whether gamers who have spent hours in front of a screen simultaneously watching the map, scanning doorways for bad guys and listening to the chatter of their fellow gamers could answer questions and drive at the same time. The finding: not so much.
"It doesn't matter how much you've trained your ...
Research punctures 'modern' fathers myth -- except for nappies, that is
2012-06-14
'Modern' fathers have been around for far longer than we think, but they have only recently started to change nappies according to research from the University of Warwick.
In a new paper published on the History & Policy website today, Dr Laura King from the University of Warwick's Centre for the History of Medicine said the assumption that fathers have only become more involved in looking after their children over the past 20 years is not true. However, statistics show it has taken longer for dads to get to grips with dirty nappies.
Figures from a 1982 study showed ...
Pennsylvania Teens Face Life Without Parole for Juvenile Crimes
2012-06-14
Throughout the United States, there are 79 people serving sentences of life without parole for crimes they committed when they were 14 years old or younger. Many have decried this practice, arguing that it is unjust to impose such harsh punishments on the acts of children, many of whose brains were not fully developed enough to appreciate the consequences of their actions.
In 2005, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down laws allowing the death penalty as punishment for juvenile crimes and abolished life without parole for non-homicide juvenile offenses. However, in many ...
