2012-09-16
In just over three months' time a new law comes into force which will prevent insurance companies from pricing premiums based on gender.

Nurses examine caregiver grief
2012-09-15
Family members who care for terminally ill patients at home can be helped by nurses throughout the course of the illness and particularly after the patient's death, according to Penn State nursing researchers.
The death of a loved one can be particularly hard for those who were involved in the day-to-day care of the person. This transition can be eased by existing support from nurses and other medical professionals.
"What we know is that the caregiver's primary contact with the health care system is during brief office visits [for the patient]," said Janice L. Penrod, ...
Children of immigrants come out ahead of peers
2012-09-15
Children of immigrants are outperforming children whose family trees have deeper roots in the United States, learning more in school and then making smoother transitions into adulthood, according to sociologists at The Johns Hopkins University.
Researchers Lingxin Hao and Han S. Woo tracked nearly 11,000 children from as young as age 13 into their early 30s, coming from families with diverse backgrounds. When comparing children with similar socioeconomic status and school conditions, Hao and Woo found that the best students, and later the most successful young adults, ...
Maternal drinking during pregnancy can damage the earliest fetal learning
2012-09-15
Habituation refers to the ability of an organism to stop responding to repeated stimulation.
A new study has examined the impact of maternal drinking on fetal habituation or learning abilities while still residing in the mother's womb.
Results showed that those fetuses exposed to heavy binge drinking required significantly more trials to habituate, and also exhibited a greater variability in test performance.
While it has become clear that drinking during pregnancy can damage the fetal central nervous system, these outcomes can also be influenced by factors such ...

2012-09-15
(Edmonton) The thud of a bird hitting a window is something many Canadian home owners experience. Up until now, little research has been done to document the significant these collisions for Canada's bird populations.

The U of A students estimate a staggering 22 million birds a year die from colliding with windows of homes across the country.
