| Complementary medicine widely used to treat children with autism, developmental delay Posted: 11 Jan 2014 06:30 AM PST In a study of the range of treatments being employed for young children with autism and other developmental delays, researchers have found that families often use complementary and alternative medicine treatments and that the most frequent users of both conventional and complementary approaches are those with higher levels of parental education and income. |
| Text messaging boosts flu vaccine rates in pregnant women Posted: 10 Jan 2014 07:30 PM PST A study evaluated the impact of text messaging reminders for influenza vaccine in a low-income obstetric population. The findings showed that sending text messages to this population of women resulted in an increase in influenza vaccination, especially for those who received the messages early in their third trimester. |
| Study: Autophagy predicts which cancer cells live, die when faced with anti-cancer drugs Posted: 10 Jan 2014 07:30 PM PST When a tumor is treated with an anti-cancer drug, some cells die and, unfortunately, some cells tend to live. A study now details a possible difference between the susceptible and resistant cells: the rate at which cells are able to cleanse themselves via the process known as autophagy. |
| Two behavioral interventions help cancer patients struggling with sleep issues Posted: 10 Jan 2014 10:09 AM PST Cancer patients who are struggling with sleep troubles, due in part to pain or side effects of treatment, can count on two behavioral interventions for relief – cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) and mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR), researchers report in a new study published. While CBT-I is the gold standard of care, MBSR is an additional treatment approach that can also help improve sleep for cancer patients, the study found. |
| Are you listening? Kids' ear infections cost US health care system nearly $3 billion a year Posted: 09 Jan 2014 02:54 PM PST A new study finds that ear infections account for approximately $2.88 billion in added health care expenses annually and is a significant health-care utilization concern. |
| Resolve to fight cancer: More than ever before, we know how to reduce some risk Posted: 09 Jan 2014 10:21 AM PST Medical researchers suggest that lifestyle changes and screening tools that have been proven to reduce our cancer risk and to catch cancer early can make a real impact across the span of our lifetime. |
| Children's brain image bank could become 'Google' tool for doctors Posted: 09 Jan 2014 09:49 AM PST Researchers are building a digital library of children's MRI brain scans. The goal is to give physicians a Google-like search system that will enhance the way they diagnose and treat young patients with brain disorders. |
