| Compassionate approach leads to more help and less punishment Posted: 19 Dec 2015 11:47 AM PST Compassion -- and intentionally cultivating it through training -- may lead us to do more to help the wronged than to punish the wrongdoer, new research suggests. Understanding what motivates people to be altruistic can not only inform our own behaviors, it may also play a role in creating more just societal institutions, including the legal and penal systems. It can also help researchers develop better interventions to cultivate compassion, say the authors.      |
| HIV identified as leading risk factor for stroke in young African adults Posted: 19 Dec 2015 11:47 AM PST HIV infection is the leading risk factor for stroke in young African adults, a new study has found. The incidence of stroke is on the increase across most of sub-Saharan Africa. In countries like Malawi, a substantial proportion of stroke patients are young adults, and have a low prevalence of established risk factors such as high blood pressure, diabetes, obesity and smoking. |
| Untested, unapproved compounded hormone prescriptions reach 26 to 33 million a year Posted: 18 Dec 2015 01:14 PM PST The number of prescriptions for mostly unregulated compounded hormone therapy for women at menopause has reached an estimated 26 to 33 million a year. That approaches the 36 million prescriptions per year for well-regulated and tested FDA-approved hormone therapy, shows an analysis of the market compounded hormone therapy market. |
| Endophytic fungi in elm trees help protect them from Dutch elm disease Posted: 18 Dec 2015 05:59 AM PST The nutritional niche of one of the most aggressive forest pathogenic fungi, the agent responsible for Dutch elm disease (DED), has been studied by comparing them with other species of endophytic fungi isolated from healthy trees. Results show that some fungi inhabiting trees compete with pathogens for the same source of nutrients. This could help to reduce their growth protecting elm trees from the disease. |
