"Live fast, die young" applies to forests, too.
Forests provide humans with economically important and often irreplaceable products and services, and affect global climate by acting as sources and sinks of heat-trapping carbon dioxide. Yet the possible responses of forests to ongoing environmental changes are poorly understood. In the most recent issue of Ecology Letters, Stephenson and van... view more... (2005-04-19)

Induced labor has some benefits in cases of premature water break
A new review of recent studies suggests there are some benefits to inducing labor in women whose water breaks at the point of full-term pregnancy but before the start of labor. view more (2006-01-25)
'Coaching' in labor makes little difference, UT Southwestern researchers say
When a woman is giving birth, having a "coach" tell her to push during contractions makes almost no difference in shortening labor, and may actually increase her risk of subsequent problems with her bladder, researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have found. view more (2005-12-30)

One reason to test premature babies early: Results provide clues to later cognitive development
Now a study from researchers at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in the Bronx, N.Y., and the University of Ghent in Belgium, finds that early cognitive deficits in infancy such as poorer attention, slower processing speed and poorer recognition memory are important harbingers of later cognitive deficits. view more (2005-11-14)
