| Early-life exercise alters gut microbes, promotes healthy brain and metabolism Posted: 29 Dec 2015 05:42 PM PST The human gut harbors a teeming menagerie of over 100 trillion microorganisms, and researchers have discovered that exercising early in life can alter that microbial community for the better, promoting healthier brain and metabolic activity over the course of a lifetime. |
| Being anxious could be good for you in a crisis Posted: 29 Dec 2015 04:06 AM PST New findings could help explain the apparent 'sixth sense' we have for danger in social situations, with the direction of a person's gaze being a crucial cue. People with non-clinical anxiety are particularly well poised for action. |
| Researchers identify areas of plague risk in western United States Posted: 28 Dec 2015 02:44 PM PST Researchers have identified and mapped areas of high probability of plague bacteria in the western United States. This investigation predicted animal plague occurrence across western states based on reported occurrences of plague in sylvan (wild) and domestic animal hosts. Plague is a disease caused by Yersinia pestis, a bacterium found in rodents and their fleas in many areas around the world. |
| Childhood asthma may increase risks of shingles Posted: 28 Dec 2015 02:44 PM PST Nearly 1 million incidents of herpes zoster, which is also known as shingles, occur every year in the US, with an estimated one-third of all adults affected by age 80. Despite its prevalence, particularly between ages 50 and 59, it is still unclear why some individuals will develop shingles, and others will not. |
| Lab tests of e-cigarettes demonstrate cellular harm Posted: 28 Dec 2015 02:44 PM PST Two types of electronic cigarettes have been tested by researchers who found that they damaged cells in ways that could lead to cancer. The damage occurred even with nicotine-free versions of the products. |
| Financial burden of cancer survivorship varies by age, cancer site Posted: 28 Dec 2015 09:47 AM PST Survivors of cancer pay thousands of dollars in excess medical expenditures every year, with the excess financial burden varying by age and cancer site, a new report suggests. |
| Educating patients improves knowledge, attitudes about participating in research Posted: 23 Dec 2015 10:05 AM PST A little information goes a long way in encouraging cancer patients to enroll in clinical trials, a decision that could be potentially lifesaving, new research demonstrates. |
