<span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Who is more smarter...men or women??</span></h3>

<b>The million dollar question...isnt it?</b><br />
<br />
A question which has intrigued and baffled so many readers,researchers and scientists alike.Throughout the ages there have been so many researches,surveys and studies conducted on this topic<br />
<br />
The word <b>"smart"</b> is itself hard to define.There are Street Smarts, Book Smarts, Creativity, Music smarts, Wit and cleverness...All are measures of intelligence.<br />
<br />
For eg : A female friend of mine is qualified doctor,working in a very famous hospital,yet she cant read a basic area navigation map.Another friend of mine is a proffesional guitarist...when he starts playing his guitar...the audience remains spellbound!!...but he needs a calculator to calculate how much would 50 + 30 be!!<br />
<br />
Another friend of mine is a genius in mathemetics,can solve the most complex of mathemetical problems without a calculator....but when it comes to reading,he can barely read a paragraph without making an error and continuously<br />
<br />
I can give you countless of such examples from day to day life.Some men can be smarter than some women and some women can be smarter than some men. We all are different.We all have our own areas of expertise and weaknesses No man is perfect and no woman is perfect. There's no answer that anyone can prove with fact or at least not yet.<br />
<br />
However in order to try and get close to a precise conclusion in this war of the genders,we shall take a close look and introspect upon a few parameters as given below :<br />
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<b>IQ Tests:</b></h3>
<img height="400" src="https://encrypted-tbn2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRbXczRSujSUZr0WmC7U9RK4ytotEdkqMKTwdA1EO9qUrmvLiLF" width="266" /><br />
<br />
This used to be a traditional male bastion.Ever since the IQ Test began about a century ago,men have always had a lead of about 5-15 points than woman, leading psychologists to suggest embedded genetic differences.<br />

<br />
However keeping abreast with the changing times,women,it seems have finally decided to beat men in thier own den,and take the lead!!The way women have progressed in other fields like science,technology etc...which were ardently presumed to be a male domain,similarly this year women have moved ahead, according to James Flynn, a world-renowned authority on IQ tests.<br />
<br />
"In the last 100 years the IQ scores of both men and women have risen but women's have risen faster ," the Daily Mail quoted Flynn as saying. "This is a consequence of modernity.<br />
<br />
The complexity of the modern world is making our brains adapt and raising our IQ," he said.<br />
<br />
One possible explanation for this change is that women's lives have now become more demanding as they multitask between raising a family and doing a job.Another reason could be that women have a slightly higher potential intelligence than men but are realizing it only now. Flynn, who will publish his findings in a book,<br />
said more data was needed to explain the trend.<br />

The brain – where women are different : </h3>
<img height="183" src="https://encrypted-tbn1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcST5c-z90ntURaxmDI7giBcnJXG5S9NCNdbXi0I22eP94fw5S8L" width="400" /><br />
<br />
Women have slightly smaller brains than men (they weigh about 4oz/100g less) but, as we know, size isn't everything. Elephants, for instance, have much larger brains than humans, but nobody believes they have more intellect. And though women's brains are smaller than men's, they both have a very similar ratio of brain weight to body weight.<br />
<br />
Women also have 4 per cent fewer brain cells than men, but this doesn't mean they use them less! There are other male/female differences too!The frontal lobe of the brain plays a major part in making judgements, planning future actions, and in language. Women have far more cells here than men.<br />

The hemispheres </h3>
<img height="320" src="https://encrypted-tbn1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcR4Md6tsJkbI6I2njZPzwWoR67XlyxQlgzthC58jjn3lEwyAEhJ7g" width="307" /><br />
<br />
It is believed that these two halves of the brain probably work differently. The left side helps us think analytically, while the right side helps us look at things as a whole, involving value judgements and emotion. Men are more likely to be "left-brain dominant" while women are thought to use both hemispheres more equally.<br />
<br />
The corpus callosum transfers information between both halves of the brain. Women have a bigger corpus callosum than men, which may account for the fact that women score better on tests of thought fluency and speech.<br />
<br />
The limbic system affects our emotions and is, on the whole, bigger in women. Together with a female brain's greater ability to transfer information between its two sides, these facts may help account for women's greater emotional sensitivity.<br />
<br />
The bigger limbic system may also mean that women feel negative emotions more sharply, opening them up to a greater risk of depression.<br />

Processing information goes on in the grey matter, while white matter connects the different parts of our brain, enabling us to carry out various tasks. Women tend to have far more white matter than men, while men are endowed with far more grey matter. Could any or all of these differences above be an explanation for the popular theory that women are better at "multitasking" than men?<br />
<br />
The hypothalamus controls the endocrine system that produces many of the hormones in the body. The functions it regulates include sexual function, sleep, water content, and body<br />
temperature. In men the hypothalamus is about twice as big and contains twice as many cells as it does in women.<br />

Visual-Spatial Tests</h3>

<br />
Research has shown that, on the whole, men perform better than women at visual-spatial tests, so they are good at understanding the things we see and putting them in context – for instance, the way a car engine is put together. Men also tend to be better at tests involving maths.<br />
<br />
Women do better at tests involving language and words, as well as verbal reasoning. They also score better on some memory tests.<br />
<br />
It is increasingly believed that men greatly outnumber women in top academic posts in the sciences due to institutionalized discrimination. Now that this has been recognized, greater numbers of women are rising to top posts.<br />
<br />

Words and Verbal fluency : </h3>
<br />
In a reasearch conducted by lumosity.com, a task that asks you to generate as many words as you can that begin with a certain three-letter stem was given to a group including men and women<br />
For example, the stem might be “psy-” and you could create “psych,” “psyche,” “psychology,” etc. Looking at data from 78,816 females and 37,744 males who met the criteria for this analysis,<br />
we see that, on average, females perform slightly better on this task than males (see the figure below).<br />

while the average male came up with about 16.9 words. So, at least by this measure, we can say that women have the advantage when it comes to generating words. This dovetails with the claims made my most<br />
scientific literature that females have, in general, an advantage when it comes to verbal processing in the brain.<br />

Arithmatics</h3>
<br />
The average female was initially able to solve 60.9 equations per mathematic game, while the average male could solve 64.6 equations per game. While males have a clear advantage here, it’s worth noting that this advantage<br />
<br />
(6%, as measured by performance on Raindrops) is not as impressive as the advantage females have when it comes to verbal reasoning (10%, as measured by performance).<br />

God himself did not discriminate when he made our world.Men and women do have their differences,the way you find variety in nature..Its the absolute duty of every parent,to provide right circumstances and oppurtunities,to a child,without making any kind of discrimination on the grounds of his or her gender.</div>

<span style="border: 0px; font-style: italic; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A brain-scan study conducted by a French research team suggests that language performance and differences in brain activity may be affected by a person's sex.</span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Researchers at Montpellier 1 University (UM1) say that they have found differences among male and female groups on activation strength linked to verbal fluency, i.e. word generation, in a new fMRI study</span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The findings from previous fMRI studies identifying the neural basis of sex differences in language production are still in debate, according to background information in a research article published in the journal Cortex.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Particularly, the question of group differences in verbal abilities, which might account for neurocognitive differences elicited between men and women, still remain unresolved.</span>Despite the cerebral regions involved in both men and women being identical, men show greater activation than women, irrespective of performance levels in classical language regions—namely, frontal, temporal and occipital lobes, and cerebellum.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">The researchers revealed that from a representative sample of 331 French speakers, students showing a sex difference for a verbal fluency task, with women scoring higher than men as reported in the literature, four groups of 11 healthy right handed subjects were selected a priori.</span></span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">According to them, the selection was based on sex and contrasted scores in a fluency task, that is, high versus low verbal fluency scores.</span>The 44 subjects were submitted to a covert verbal fluency fMRI protocol, they revealed.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Besides a sex effect, the research team also noticed a performance effect irrespective of sex.</span>Low fluency subjects elicit greater activation in the anterior cingulate than high fluency subjects, with the later activating the cerebellum more than those with low performances.</span></div>

But one example of what bugs me and I don't say anything about is the constant need for a woman to stay in touch with us – several times throughout the day, for no reason other than to say 'hi'. Can it not wait until later? Ninety per cent of the time it's "Hey, how is your day, what's up for later, are you done yet?" It drives me crazy. If I say I am golfing on Sunday and should be home around 4 p.m., that means that if plans change, I will call. There's no need to try and reach me during my game to ask how the game is going. It would be much better if you weren't bugging me..."</span><i style="background-color: white; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> -- Adrian Needham, 37</i></div>

Scientists revisited results from two 2010 studies, taking a closer look at what the scans revealed.</div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Just a month of meditation training alters brain wiring in ways that could open the door to new treatments for mental disorders, research has shown.</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Scientists looked at the effects of integrative body-mind training (IBMT) on two groups of university students.</span></div>
<div style="min-height: 1px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="min-height: 1px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">After just four weeks, or 11 hours, of training scans showed physical changes in the brains of the volunteers.</span></div>
<div style="min-height: 1px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">

<div style="min-height: 1px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Nerve fibres, known as 'white matter', became denser, providing greater numbers of brain-signalling connections. At the same time there was an expansion of myelin, the protective fatty insulation surrounding nerve fibres.</span></div>
<div style="min-height: 1px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="min-height: 1px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The effects were seen in the anterior cingulate cortex region of the brain, which helps regulate behaviour.</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Poor nerve activity in this part of the brain is associated with a range of mental problems, including attention deficit disorder, dementia, depression, and schizophrenia.</span></div>
<div style="min-height: 1px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The study built on previous research based on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans that first highlighted brain changes induced by IBMT.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Recent studies highlight a long-held suspicion about the brains of males and females. They're not the same. So how does the brain of a female look and function differently from a male's brain, and what accounts for these differences?</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Observations of adult brains show that this area may remain stronger in females.

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Consider these recent findings. Researchers, using brain imaging technology that captures blood flow to "working" parts of the brain, analyzed how men and women process language. All subjects listened to a novel. When males listened, only the left hemisphere of their brains was activated. The brains of female subjects, however, showed activity on both the left and right hemispheres.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This activity across both hemispheres of the brain may result in the strong language skills typically displayed by females. "If there's more area dedicated to a set of skills, it follows that the skills will be more refined," says David Geary, PhD, professor of psychological sciences at the University of Missouri.</span></div>

<div class="sci-content-bd" style="background-color: white; margin: 0px; overflow: hidden; padding: 8px 0px 0px;">
<img alt="sn-iqtests.jpg" height="320" src="http://news.sciencemag.org/sciencenow/assets_c/2011/04/sn-iqtests-thumb-200xauto-6029.jpg" width="252" /><br /><div class="content-main" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: left;">
<div style="line-height: 1.6em; margin-bottom: 1.5em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.6em; margin-bottom: 1.5em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Kids who score higher on IQ tests will, on average, go on to do better in conventional measures of success in life: academic achievement, economic success, even greater health, and longevity. Is that because they are more intelligent? Not necessarily. New research concludes that IQ scores are partly a measure of how motivated a child is to do well on the test. And harnessing that motivation might be as important to later success as so-called native intelligence.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.6em; margin-bottom: 1.5em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Researchers have long debated what IQ tests actually measure, and whether average differences in IQ scores--such as those between different ethnic groups--reflect differences in intelligence, social and economic factors, or both. </span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.6em; margin-bottom: 1.5em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The debate moved heavily into the public arena with the 1994 publication of <i>The Bell Curve</i> by Richard Herrnstein and Charles Murray, which suggested that the lower average IQ scores of some ethnic groups, such as African-Americans and Hispanics, were due in large part to genetic differences between them and Caucasian groups. </span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.6em; margin-bottom: 1.5em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 1.6em;">That view has been challenged by many scientists. For example, in his 2009 book "Intelligence and How to Get It," Richard Nisbett, a psychologist at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, argued that differences in IQ scores largely disappear when researchers control for social and economic factors.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.6em; margin-bottom: 1.5em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">New work, led by Angela Lee Duckworth, a psychologist at the University of Pennsylvania, and reported online today in the <i>Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences</i> explores the effect of motivation on how well people perform on IQ tests. </span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.6em; margin-bottom: 1.5em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 1.6em;">While subjects taking such tests are usually instructed to try as hard as they can, previous research has shown that not everyone makes the maximum effort. A number of studies have found that subjects who are promised monetary rewards for doing well on IQ and other cognitive tests score significantly higher.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 15px;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The million-dollar question that is likely to stir a hornet's nest: Do men have better IQ than women?</span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 15px; padding: 15px 0px 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Scientifically speaking, yes! But it is not my personal opinion. I am not the one who is telling this. I know some people will think that I, being a male myself, might be boasting about my gender. They will inadvertently term the content of this article as junk.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 15px; padding: 15px 0px 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">However, I am compelled to write this because time and again, various studies have proved that "men score far better than women in an <span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD6" style="background-attachment: scroll !important; background-color: transparent !important; background-image: none !important; background-position: 0% 50%; background-repeat: repeat repeat !important; border-bottom-color: rgb(22, 187, 234) !important; border-bottom-style: dotted !important; border-bottom-width: 1px !important; cursor: pointer !important; display: inline !important; float: none !important; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 1px !important; position: static;">IQ test</span>." </span></div>

Paul Irwing and Richard Lynn, who undertook this study, have concluded that this is the reason why more number of men have won the Nobel Prize in comparison to women.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 15px; padding: 15px 0px 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Lynn, a British Professor Emeritus of Psychology at the University of Ulster, has not made such a controversial claim for the first time. As the author of a number of publications, he has kept on arguing that there are differences in intelligence between not only the opposite sex but racial groups as well - whites higher than blacks and eastern Asians higher than Europeans.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The inability to fall asleep at night can be a frustrating problem for many people. Everyone has experienced <strong>problems of sleeping</strong> at some time in their life; you lie awake at night, toss and turn and by morning, you feel exhausted.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The National Commission on <strong>Sleep Disorders</strong> advises that over 40 million Americans suffer from chronic sleep problems and 20 to 30 million people experience occasional insomnia.</span></div>

<div style="line-height: 17.233333587646484px; margin-bottom: 1em; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">“Good Morning America” co-host Robin Roberts announced today that she is facing her second major health battle in just five years.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 17.233333587646484px; margin-bottom: 1em; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Roberts, 51, told viewers of the ABC show that she has been diagnosed with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), a rare blood disorder affecting the bone marrow and sometimes referred to as pre-leukemia.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 17.233333587646484px; margin-bottom: 1em;">

<div style="line-height: 17.233333587646484px; margin-bottom: 1em; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">“Myelodysplasia is a condition in which the bone marrow doesn’t function properly,” explained Dr. Jay Brooks, chairman of hematology/oncology at Ochsner Health System in Baton Rouge, La.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 17.233333587646484px; margin-bottom: 1em; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Specifically, the bone marrow loses its ability to produce enough mature blood cells, such as white blood cells to fight infection and red blood cells to transport oxygen to different parts of the body.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 17.233333587646484px; margin-bottom: 1em; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">“A percentage of people with MDS can and will develop leukemia,” Brooks said.</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">But MDS also can be an “uncommon” albeit “significant, serious” complication of prior cancer chemotherapy, Brooks added.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 17.233333587646484px; margin-bottom: 1em; text-align: justify;">

But here’s a reassuring fact: It usually isn’t cancer. What could it be? We talked with two breast experts at the Cleveland Clinic Taussig Cancer Institute to find out all about breast symptoms and tell you what to do about them. Talk to your doc about any changes in your breasts.</span></span></div>
<div style="font-weight: normal; line-height: 1.8em; margin-bottom: 1em;">

<span style="font-weight: normal; line-height: 20.850000381469727px;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Caused by: Hormone changes around your period. As many as 30 percent of women between 35 and 50 get them</span></span></h1>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 20.850000381469727px;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 20.850000381469727px;">What to do: Get an </span><a href="http://www.health.com/health/condition-article/0,,20188136,00.html" style="background-color: white; cursor: pointer; line-height: 20.850000381469727px; text-decoration: initial;"><span style="color: black;">ultrasound</span></a><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 20.850000381469727px;"> to see if the lump is filled with fluid or is solid (and possibly cancerous). Your doctor can insert a needle to drain fluid and relieve pressure if the cyst is painful (although it may come back). Taking the Pill may lower the incidence of cysts.</span></span></div>

<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.8em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="line-height: 1.8em;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The symptom: Fluid leaking from both nipples.</span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.8em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Could be: Milky discharge.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.8em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Caused by: A thyroid or pituitary gland problem, perhaps. Other obvious causes are pregnancy, birth control pills, or nipple stimulation.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.8em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">What to do: Talk to your doc; if it’s a gland problem, it’s usually treatable with medication.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.8em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.8em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong>Soft mass</strong><br />The symptom: A soft, lumpy mass about 1 to 4 inches wide, accompanied by tenderness in one or both breasts before your period.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.8em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Could be: <a href="http://www.health.com/health/library/topic/0,,hw51937_hw51939,00.html" style="cursor: pointer; text-decoration: initial;">Fibrocystic changes</a>.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.8em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Caused by: Fluctuations in estrogen and progesterone, which can thicken breast tissue. The problem affects more than 50 percent of women and often comes and goes until menopause.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.8em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">What to do: Reduce pain by taking acetaminophen or ibuprofen, or by wearing a supportive bra. Limiting fat and caffeine in your diet may help, too. Talk to your doc if symptoms persist.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">African-American women had a significant 61% increased risk of SCD compared with other races, after all known risk factors and sociodemographic risk factors were accounted for, according to Monica L. Bertoia, MPH, PhD, of Harvard School of Public Health in Boston, and colleagues.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Of the 418 women who experienced SCD, investigators identified these characteristics, in addition to traditional risk factors, that put them at increased risk:</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">They also emphasized the dearth of data regarding women and SCD because they have been historically underrepresented in SCD studies and have fewer events than men.

<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 0.9em; line-height: 1.8em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<img alt="18157 Majority of Biggest U.S. Cities Now Smoke Free" height="310" src="http://media.healthday.com/images/editorial/18157.jpg" width="320" /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.8em; margin-bottom: 1em; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Thirty of the 50 largest cities in the United States are now smoke-free, a new report shows.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.8em; margin-bottom: 1em; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The 60 percent of large cities that are smoke-free have laws that prohibit smoking in all indoor areas of private workplaces, restaurants and bars. In late 2000, only one of the 50 largest U.S. cities — San Jose, Calif. — had such a comprehensive smoke-free law.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.8em; margin-bottom: 1em; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span id="more-70619"></span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.8em; margin-bottom: 1em; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As of Oct. 5, 2012, 16 of the 50 largest cities were covered by local smoke-free laws, and 14 more were covered by state smoke-free laws, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention researchers.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.8em; margin-bottom: 1em; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Currently, nearly half of Americans are protected by state or local smoke-free laws, compared with less than 3 percent in 2000, the researchers said. New local smoke-free laws continue to be implemented in a number of cities and counties, but states are moving more slowly. Last week, North Dakota voters approved the first statewide smoke-free law adopted since 2010.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.8em; margin-bottom: 1em; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Research shows that smoke-free laws reduce exposure to secondhand smoke, reduce smoking, reduce heart attacks and improve health, according to the study in the Nov. 15 issue of the CDC’s <i>Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report</i>.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.8em; margin-bottom: 1em; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">“Communities have made tremendous progress eliminating smoking from work sites and public places in 60 percent of big cities in the United States. Smoke-free laws save lives and don’t hurt business,” CDC Director Dr. Thomas Frieden, said in an agency news release.</span></div>

<div style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px;">
<img alt="What Is The Immune System" height="254" src="http://www.healthwatchcenter.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/what-is-the-immune-system.jpg" width="320" /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Many people who are looking for the best cure for their illness or disease should instead be searching for the answer to the question of what is the immune system. The immune system is basically your body’s natural ammo to fight against any kind of sickness or disease, so it’s important to have a strong immune system at all times.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You are much less likely to have a real problem with your body if you keep your entire body healthy, including your immune system.To answer the question of <strong>what is the immune system</strong>, you must first understand what a general healthy body can do for your life.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A healthy body will obviously lead to a lower number of health problems over time, but you also need to make sure that your body can fight off disease when it does try to pop up.Some of the <strong>worst illnesses</strong> that you can have are the diseases that attack your immune system and prevent it from being able to fight against sickness. When your immune system shuts down, you won’t be able to fight against the smallest of infections that affect your body.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Anyone who wants to know how to get rid of a disease just needs to research how they can improve their overall immune system.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">What is the immune system and its purpose?</span></h3>
<div style="margin-bottom: 15px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 15px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The main purpose of your immune system is to fight against harmful infections that take place on a regular basis. There are actually plenty of problems and bacteria that can enter your body on a regular basis, but they don’t do much damage to your body thanks to your immune system. The best answer to the question of what is the immune system is that it is your body’s main way of fighting against any kind of virus or infection that wants to spread throughout your entire body.</span></div>

<br />
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px; text-align: justify;">
<img alt="depression" height="301" src="http://www.healthwatchcenter.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/depression.jpg" width="320" /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In the past few decades it has become much more socially acceptable to be depressed.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Just as socially acceptable as Ritalin and ADD have become, the same goes for Prozac and Paxil and depression.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">How do you tell if you are depressed? I mean, really depressed not just having a bad day?</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And how do you know if you’re experiencing depression related to post-partum or the death of a loved one or even depression related to the loss of a job.Some jobs carry a natural tendency for stress and depression. Typically, these jobs are ones that deal with people or animals, mainly due to emotional attachment or sympathy.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Social workers, customer service reps, animal shelter officials, and similar occupations are examples of jobs that promote stress. Most people would not expect a prominent achievement such as a <a href="http://www.accredited-online-college-degrees.com/social-worker.htm" style="text-decoration: initial;" target="_blank">social work masters</a>degree to boast a high level of accreditation, but the truth is that those very same people can be coping with episodes of stress and depression.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Did you know that women are twice as likely to suffer from depression as men, yet men are more likely to commit suicide than women are?</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Some symptoms of depression that you should look for and be aware of are:</span></div>

<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If you are yawning all the time and feel that you want to get a nap many times during the day, you may be suffering from sleep deprivation. Excessive daytime sleepiness refers to the desire to fall asleep in the middle of the day due to a feeling of low energy level even after getting a full night’s rest.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">While it may not sound like a very serious issue, this sleepiness could be the symptom of an underlying medical disorder that you may be suffering from. So don’t take it lightly and read on to see what could be the possible reason for this general feeling of sleepiness that seems to pervade your usual day.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">

<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">What can cause excessive daytime sleepiness?</span></h3>
<div style="margin-bottom: 15px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 15px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There can be a number of causes that lead to excessive daytime sleepiness. These include breathing disorders such as sleep apnea and upper airway resistance syndrome. These can cause interrupted sleep which you may not be aware of, but can cause the feeling of fatigue to linger. You feel un-rested because you actually do not get a good night’s rest.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 15px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Other <strong>sleep disorder</strong> can also be there such as restless legs syndrome or narcolepsy. It may not always be related to breathing disorders as sleep can be affected by many other medical conditions in the body.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px; text-align: justify;">
<img alt="Multiple Myeloma Symptoms" height="231" src="http://www.healthwatchcenter.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/multiple-myeloma-symptoms.jpg" width="320" /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This is a type of cancer which affects the blood and the bone marrow. It is the second most widespread type of blood cancer. The first position of that dubious distinction goes to non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. The American Cancer Society estimates that 20,180 new cases of multiple myeloma were diagnosed in 2010.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Multiple myeloma symptoms are more prevalent in the African race than the Caucasian race. The cancer develops predominantly in the bone marrow which is the spongy and soft center in a bone where blood cells are produced.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Typically the marrow in the spine, pelvic bones, ribs, shoulders and hips gets afflicted. Myeloma affects the plasma cells that produce antibodies to fight external infection in the body. In</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span><strong style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">multiple myeloma</strong><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">normal plasma cells get turned into malignant and abnormal myeloma cells that produces large amount of an abnormal immunoglobulin. The malignant cells throw out the normal cells and attack the bone to make it soft. This is one of the physical symptoms of the disease.</span></div>

<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Multiple myeloma symptoms are seen predominantly on the bones, in the blood and in the kidneys. As described above the bone marrow produces a malignant plasma cell which attacks the bone from within. This results in the softening of the bones. Secondly the malignant cells also prevent the normal process of growth and repair in the bone so a process called</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span><strong style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">osteolytic lesions</strong><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">takes place. This shows up on an x-ray like a hole in the bone.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The malignant cells travel to the blood from the bone marrow. Here they cause all kinds of problems including affecting production of blood cells, reducing white blood cells to cause leucopenia, increasing the risk of infection from external sources, reducing the blood platelet count to cause thrombocytopenia and reducing red blood cells to cause anemia. Basically little by little the cancerous cells keep growing in the blood and the normal blood gets depleted.</span></div>

<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 0.9em; line-height: 1.8em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
Seat belt use by American drivers and passengers reached an all-time high of 86 percent in 2012, a new federal government study finds.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 0.9em; line-height: 1.8em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
Seat belt use has steadily increased since 1994, and this year’s figure is 2 percent higher than last year, according to the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s annual National Occupant Protection Use Survey.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 0.9em; line-height: 1.8em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span id="more-70607"></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 0.9em; line-height: 1.8em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
The most dramatic increases in seat belt use were seen in southern states, rising from 80 percent in 2011 to 85 percent this year.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 0.9em; line-height: 1.8em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
Seat belt use continues to be highest in states with primary seat belt laws, which allow police to give people tickets solely for not wearing a seat belt. In states with secondary seat belt laws, police can issue tickets for not wearing a seat belt only when another traffic violation occurs.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 0.9em; line-height: 1.8em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
Nationwide, 32 states and the District of Columbia have primary seat belt laws, while another 17 states have secondary seat belt laws. New Hampshire is the only state that does not have a primary or secondary seat belt law. The state does have a primary child passenger safety law that applies to all drivers and passengers younger than 18.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 0.9em; line-height: 1.8em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
“Thanks to the ongoing work of our state and local partners and national efforts such as ‘Click it or Ticket,’ we’ve made steady gains in belt use in recent years,” NHTSA administrator David Strickland said in an agency news release. “Moving forward, it will be critical to build on this success using a multi-faceted approach that combines good laws, effective enforcement, and public education and awareness.”</div>

<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.8em; margin-bottom: 1em; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The child Mozarts of the world may have some traits in common with children with autism, a new study suggests, in findings researchers say could eventually offer clues into the developmental disorder.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.8em; margin-bottom: 1em; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It’s estimated that about one in 88 children has an autism spectrum disorder, an umbrella term for a group of developmental brain disorders that hinder a person’s ability to communicate and interact with others. These range from the severe cases of “classic” autism to a relatively mild form called Asperger’s syndrome.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.8em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span id="more-70621"></span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.8em; margin-bottom: 1em; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Child prodigies — those kids with exceptional, beyond-their-years talent in areas like music, art or math — are much more rare.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.8em; margin-bottom: 1em; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">No one is sure of the exact figures, but a good guess would be about one in 5 million is a prodigy, said Joanne Ruthsatz, an assistant professor of psychology at Ohio State University and lead author of a study published in the September-October issue of <i>Intelligence</i>.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.8em; margin-bottom: 1em; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In theory, there could be a connection between kids with autism and child prodigies. There are, after all, autistic “savants,” who have some type of remarkable skill — often in math or art — despite their developmental disability.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.8em; margin-bottom: 1em; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">To study the question, Ruthsatz and colleague Jourdan Urbach of Yale University tracked down eight child prodigies — including two musicians who were playing Carnegie Hall around kindergarten age, and another who was programming computers by age 3 and reproducing complicated musical pieces at age 4.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.8em; margin-bottom: 1em; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Each prodigy, two of whom are now adults, took a standard test of traits associated with autism.</span></div>

<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.8em; margin-bottom: 1em; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It used to be the only thing caffeinated in our diet was coffee and tea and perhaps the occasional soda. But over the past few years it’s an additive that’s<a href="http://www.health.com/health/gallery/0,,20313656,00.html" style="cursor: pointer; text-decoration: initial;">crept into everything</a> from sports drinks to<a href="http://sportbeans.com/products/cherry_sport_beans.aspx" style="cursor: pointer; text-decoration: initial;"> jelly beans</a>. This week, Cracker Jacks announced plans for a new line of caffeine-infused <a href="http://www.foxnews.com/health/2012/11/16/cracker-jackd-new-version-cracker-jacks-to-contain-caffeine/" style="cursor: pointer; text-decoration: initial;">Cracker Jack’D Power Bites</a>.<span id="more-70659"></span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.8em; margin-bottom: 1em; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><a href="http://www.cspinet.org/" style="cursor: pointer; text-decoration: initial;">The Center for Science in the Public Interest</a> is none too pleased we’re turning into Caffeine Nation. They view it as a potentially dangerous trend. They might be right.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.8em; margin-bottom: 1em; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The U.S. Federal Drug Administration recently released <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2012/11/16/business/scrutiny-of-energy-drinks-grows.html" style="cursor: pointer; text-decoration: initial;"><span style="color: black;">records</span></a> naming Monster Energy and Rock Star Energy Drink as a factor in injury reports, while the <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2012/11/15/business/5-hour-energy-is-cited-in-13-death-reports.html" style="cursor: pointer; text-decoration: initial;"><span style="color: black;">drink 5-Hour Energy</span></a> has been mentioned in at least 90 injury reports including 33 hospitalizations and 13 deaths in the past 4 years.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.8em; margin-bottom: 1em; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Although such reports don’t prove the drink was responsible for the injuries or deaths, many energy drinks contain massive amounts of caffeine per serving. A <a href="http://pediatrics.aappublications.org/content/127/6/1182.full.pdf" style="cursor: pointer; text-decoration: initial;"><span style="color: black;">2011 Pediatrics study</span> </a>found that the total amount of caffeine contained in some cans or bottles of energy drinks exceeded 500 mg or the equivalent of 14 cans of caffeinated soft drinks. This, they concluded, was a high enough amount to induce caffeine toxicity especially if several servings are consumed in a brief period of time.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.8em; margin-bottom: 1em; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Drink makers say their products are safe and unrelated to the problems reported to the F.D.A., says Michael Jacobson, PhD, the Center’s executive director, who concedes that it’s unclear why the energy drinks have been associated with so many deaths–while coffee, which also is consumed in large quantities, has not been.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Repetitive hits on the head that are below the threshold for causing a concussion may still result in changes in the brain's white matter, a small study of soccer players suggested.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">On average, elite male soccer players -- who often use their heads to direct the ball -- had a range of negative changes in white matter architecture compared with a group of competitive swimmers who were unlikely to have repetitive brain trauma, according to Inga Koerte, MD, of Harvard Medical Schools Psychiatry Neuroimaging Laboratory in Boston, and colleagues.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Those differences were observed even though none of the participants in either group had a history of concussion, Koerte and colleagues reported in a research letter in the Nov. 14 issue of the <em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Journal of the American Medical Association</em>.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Although it is possible that frequent heading of the ball could explain the impairments in the soccer players, "differences in head injury rates, sudden accelerations, or even lifestyle could contribute," the authors wrote.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Previous studies have shown that repetitive traumatic brain injury can have negative long-term consequences -- including impaired white matter integrity -- but the effects of frequent subconcussive head impacts are less clear.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Compared with a group of patients randomized to a health education program, those practicing TM had a 48% reduction in these outcomes (HR 0.52, 95% CI 0.29 to 0.92, <em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">P</em>=0.025), according to Robert H.

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The TM group also had a change of −4.9 mm Hg in systolic blood pressure (95% CI −8.3 to −1.5 , <em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">P</em>=0.01), the researchers reported online in <em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Circulation: Cardiovascular Quality and Outcomes.</em></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Reduction in systolic BP may be a physiological mechanism for reduced clinical events in this trial since this magnitude of reduction has been associated with 15% reduction in cardiovascular clinical events," Schneider and colleagues wrote.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">African Americans are disproportionately afflicted with cardiovascular disease, at least in part possibly because of environmental and psychosocial stresses.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Relatives of young sudden cardiac death victims appear to have a greater risk of cardiovascular disease than the general population, a Danish study showed.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">During up to 11 years of follow-up, there were 292 incident cases of cardiovascular disease in a cohort of relatives, higher than the 219 expected in the background population (standardized incidence ratio 1.33, 95% CI 1.19 to 1.50), according to Mattis Flyvholm Ranthe, MD, of the Statens Serum Institute in Copenhagen, and colleagues.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">The risks were particularly high in relatives younger than 35, the researchers reported online in the <em style="background-color: transparent; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">European Heart Journal</em>.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">The findings support a large hereditary component of sudden cardiac death, Ranthe and colleagues argued.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">"Since the cardiovascular conditions on which we focused are treatable, early identification of at-risk persons is potentially a life-saving action," they wrote. "Our findings are the first of their kind and support the initiation of cascade screening in families experiencing a sudden cardiac death, with customization of screening based on the underlying condition suspected to have caused the [death] and family member ages."</span></div>
<div style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Previous studies have shown that genetic mutations are related to cardiac conditions that can cause sudden cardiac death, including primary arrhythmia syndromes, cardiomyopathies, familial hypercholesterolemia, and premature ischemic heart disease. Other studies have suggested that relatives of sudden cardiac death victims have an elevated cardiovascular risk.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">To explore the issue, the researchers performed a prospective, population-based cohort study using Danish national registries. They identified 470 individuals ages 1 to 35 years who suffered a sudden cardiac death from 2000 to 2006, and 3,073 relatives.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Girls who are born into families with high levels of stress are more likely to suffer from anxiety and disruptions in brain function as teenagers, new research suggests.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.8em; margin-bottom: 1em; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In addition, the researchers found that female babies who lived with stressed mothers had higher levels of a stress hormone known as cortisol as preschoolers. And the girls with those higher cortisol levels were more likely to have less effective wiring in their brains between areas that regulate emotion.</span></div>
