The electronic babysitter may do more than keep your child occupied. Too much TV watching may also be contributing to your child's unhealthy eating habits.

A recent study found a link between the amount of TV a child watches and a higher likelihood of having poor eating habits, like skipping breakfast, eating sweets or fast foods, or drinking more sweetened drinks.

Whether a person is a righty or a lefty may affect how brain stimulation therapy should be targeted.  Hand dominance determines which side of the brain makes approach and defend decisions.

A new study takes a look at the brain waves of right- and left-handed people when they’re asked questions about their physical motivation. This could mean that brain stimulation should be tailored to people based on their dominant hand.

Zinc is commonly sold as a remedy for the common cold, but whether its effective is controversial. A recent review of research shed some light on this debated treatment.

Research into cancer involves two basic questions - how did this happen, and how can we fix it.

Though most recommended nutrients for pregnant women are included in prenatal vitamins, others should be gained through diet, such as the nutrient choline.

A recent study reveals that a higher intake of choline during the last part of a woman's pregnancy reduces their baby's stress levels, and this reduction, along with other changes noted, may play a part in reducing later disease risk.

Deep tissue cancers, also known as sarcomas, are not as common as carcinomas and consequently less basic research has been resolved on the causes and medical treatments investigated on sarcomas.

A series of laboratory molecular experiments resulted in narrowing down more than 2,000 possible targets for pharmaceutical treatment of sarcomas.

Scientists conclude that these cancers born from fat or muscle are most likely to share 39 common proteins.

Identifying which molecular...

A new clinical trial has opened up for brain cancer patients with the most advanced and aggressive classification of tumor, glioblastoma multiforme.

Effective therapies for brain cancer have been difficult due to the delicate nature of the brain, and the sheer aggression of glioblastoma multiforme only adds to the challenge.

A new study shows that Namenda (memantine), used in the treatment of Alzheimer’s Disease (AD), does not improve agitation symptoms.

As AD progresses, agitation is a common symptom that often appears as restlessness, anxiousness, or becoming easily upset.

A recent study looked at this aspect, specifically, and found that Namenda did not appear to offer any benefit to these symptoms.

Traditionally a series of x-rays of all of the major bones in the body are used to detect myeloid myeloma, a process known as a radiographic skeletal survey.

Yet in some areas, especially Europe, whole body CT is beginning to gain favor as testing indicates it is a more effective and thorough exam for measuring bone involvement in multiple myelomas, a bone-based form of leukemia.
