Study Suggests Widespread Environmental Presence Of Enterobacter Sakazakii (pp 5, 39)
A bacterium that can be dangerous to premature babies and young infants could be more widespread in the environment than previously thought, suggest authors of a research letter in this week's issue of THE LANCET. Enterobacter sakazakii occasionally causes illness among premature babies and infants. In some previously described outbreaks, infant... view more... (2003-12-30)
Even mildly premature infants have increased risk of a common respiratory tract infection
Even mildly premature infants (gestational ages of 33 weeks through 36 weeks) have an increased risk of medically attended respiratory syncytial virus infection, which is the leading cause of lower respiratory tract infection in infants and young children and can lead to pneumonia in babies. view more (2009-05-06)
USC researchers find new clues to risk of Hodgkin lymphoma
A long-term study of twins has led University of Southern California (USC) researchers to find potential links between Hodgkin lymphoma and levels of an immune response protein (interleukin-12). view more (2008-04-02)
UCL scientists gauge pain in premature babies
Scientists at UCL (University College London) have measured responses to pain in the brains of premature babies and have shown that they are likely to experience 'true' pain rather than simply displaying reflex reactions. view more (2006-04-05)
Baby boys are more likely to die than baby girls
Male infants in developed nations are more likely to die than female infants, a fact that is partially responsible for men's shorter lifespans, reveals a new study by researchers from University of Pennsylvania and University of Southern California. view more (2008-03-25)
Acid reflux is not just caused by lager and curry, but also our genes
Almost half the chance of developing acid reflux, which doctors refer to as GORD, may be down to our genes, and not just what we eat and drink, a twin study in Gut suggests. Acid reflux (gastro-oesophageal reflux disease) is one of the most common digestive disorders in the developed world. It is thought that up to one in five people suffers from... view more...

Genetic and environmental hormonal response to stress in children depends on family context
A study conducted on 346 19-month-old twins by an international team led by Université Laval professor of psychology Michel Boivin reveals that the genetic and environmental bases of hormonal response to stress depend on the context in which a child grows up. view more (2008-02-21)
Impact of antisocial lifestyle "has been neglected"
Evidence suggests that an antisocial lifestyle is linked to illness, injury, and premature death, yet while links between deprivation and health have been widely studied, links between antisocial lifestyle and health have been neglected, according to two experts in this week's BMJ. The impact of an antisocial lifestyle on health is increasingly... view more... (2003-04-15)
The penalty of having a sister — why sibling sex matters for male saiga antelopes
Having a twin sister could put male saiga antelopes at a reproductive disadvantage, says new research published today. The study shows that male twins with a sister are born lighter than those with a brother, making them smaller than the optimal size for males. view more (2007-03-07)
Genes and environment interact in first graders to predict physical but not social aggression
Physical aggression in children comes from their genes and the environment in which they grow up. Social aggression, such as spreading rumors or ignoring other children, has less to do with genetic factors and more with environmental factors. view more (2008-02-07)

Increase in abnormal heart rhythms in shift workers
Shiftwork increases the risk of abnormal heart rhythms, shows research in Occupational and Environmental Medicine. These changes may help to explain why shiftworkers are susceptible to heart disease. Doctors measured changes in heartbeat and variations in heart rate in 49 employees working shifts, including nights, and 22 employees working normal... view more... (2001-09-07)
Embryo biopsy does not affect early growth and risk of congenital malformations in PGD/PGS babies
A study of 70 singleton babies born after preimplantation genetic diagnosis and screening has shown that the procedure does not adversely affect their early growth and risk of congenital malformations. view more (2008-07-08)

Multiple pregnancies: Vienna meeting reveals new research
The continuing high rate of multiple pregnancies in assisted reproduction is a major medical, psychosocial and economic problem. But it could be solved overnight if only doctors weren't too hesitant to act, a leading Swedish specialist in reproductive medicine told a news briefing today (Monday 1 July) at the annual meeting of the European Society... view more...
