According to researchers, an investigational drug for treatment of schizophrenia was found to be safe and well tolerated in a phase II trial.

As per Kimberly Vanover, PhD, of Intra-Cellular Technologies in New York City, which is developing the medication, the drug, a serotonin 5-HT2A receptor antagonist named ITI-007, was having a side effect profile, which was not much different from placebo in a phase II trial.

Consumer Reports found that sunscreens didn't meet the SPF claim on their labels.

SPF (sun protection factor) is usually an important feature for consumers when it comes to sunscreen. It is basically a relative measure of how long a sunscreen will protect a consumer from UVB rays.

The rays can cause sunburn and skin cancer. It has been recommended by many dermatologists and other experts to use a sunscreen that delivers an SPF of 30 or higher. SPF 30 blocks 97% or more of the sun's UVB rays.

Consumer Reports tested 34 sunscreens and found almost a third of them missing the SPF mark by 16 to 70%. However, out of the sunscreens tested by Consumer Reports, many met their SPF claims and some of the most effective products were also the lowest-priced.

Tandon said, "Children need daily opportunities for physical activity not only for optimal weight status, but because physical activity promotes numerous aspects of health, development and well-being".
