Elderly women have better mental ability than men, despite less formal education
Elderly women have a better mental function than men despite their lower level of formal education, conclude Dutch researchers in the Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery and Psychiatry. These findings challenge the view that a limited formal education is associated with lower mental ability and suggest that biological differences between men and... view more... (2001-06-14)
The Coming Crisis Of Long-term Care (p 1755)
Care for the elderly--whose responsibility is it, and who pays for it--is the focus of this week's editorial.

Long term risks of medical radiation often ignored
Doctors and patients should be more aware of the long term risks of radiological investigations such as x-rays and CT scans, argues a researcher in this week's BMJ. Use of radiation for medical examinations and tests is the largest manmade source of radiation exposure, yet doctors are insufficiently aware of the long term health risks associated... view more...

Sea lions score top marks
CALIFORNIA sea lions may have the best memory of all non-human creatures. A female called Rio that learned a trick involving letters and numbers could still perform it 10 years later- even though she hadn`t performed the trick in the intervening period. Learning concepts such as "sameness"- when one letter or number matches another, for example-... view more... (2002-10-24)
