Washington D.C. [USA], Nov. 16 : Approach to preventing alcohol and drug use by some adolescents should begin in early childhood, suggests a study published in Developmental Psychology journal.

"The children of parents with alcohol problems are at much greater risk for underage drinking and developing a substance use disorder," says the study's author, Rina Das Eiden, senior research scientist at University at Buffalo Research Institute on Addictions.

"It's important to understand when and under what circumstances such problems develop, so we can craft interventions to steer this high-risk population away from substance use and its attendant problems."

Washington D.C. [USA], Nov. 16 : Stop Smoking Services across England are under threat as a result of ongoing budget cuts after six in ten local authorities (59 per cent) were forced to reduce their funding in the last year, says a joint report by ASH and Cancer Research UK.

Local authorities became responsible for Stop Smoking Services and tobacco control in 2013. These services were previously delivered by the NHS.

Cuts to the Public Health Grant from HM Treasury - which local authorities rely on to fund these services are putting enormous pressure on councils.

Cancer Research UK is calling on the public and local councilors to help protect crucial Stop Smoking Services and mass media quit smoking campaigns by urging Westminster to solve the public health funding crisis.

Washington D.C. [USA], Nov. 16 : A virus that cause respiratory illnesses and stomach upsets in children could help in the fight against primary liver cancer, according to a study.

Reovirus stimulates the body's own immune system to kill off the cancerous cells and is also able to kill off the hepatitis C virus - a common cause of primary liver cancer - at the same time, the researchers at the University of Leeds discovered.

These early stage findings are important because primary liver cancer is the third highest cause of cancer deaths worldwide and, if surgery is not an option, the prognosis is poor.

Washington DC [USA], Nov. 16 : They are a basket of 'dejectables', if I may coin a word. Completely devastated that they lost an election that was theirs to win, but Hillary Clinton did deliver a dud. Granted that she did poll more votes, but in the end she lost the Dems, an election. And in the end, that is what matters, a win or a loss.

House Democrats today announced that they would delay their leadership elections to November 30; which makes longtime Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi's position tenacious. Not a good time to be a woman, at least a woman politician in America.

Washington D.C. [USA], Nov.15 : A recent study shows that protein that regulates the development of nerve cells also helps in prompting cells in the pancreas to release insulin, a hormone that helps to maintain a normal level of blood sugar, says a study.

The research is potentially relevant to type-2 diabetes, the most common form of the disease.

In type-1 diabetes, which can appear at any time of life, the body makes insulin, but is either not releasing enough of it or not using the regulatory chemical efficiently to control blood sugar. In type-1 diabetes, which appears in childhood, an immune response gone awry destroys the body's ability to produce insulin altogether.

Washington D.C. [USA], Nov.15 : A recent study has found that cholesterol-lowering drugs reduce the risk of heart attacks and strokes in adults with cardiovascular risk factors such as high cholesterol, high blood pressure, diabetes and smoking, but have not had a heart attack or stroke previously.

Drugs that lower fat levels in the blood, called statins, were effective in reducing risk of death, heart attacks and strokes, across a broad range of patient groups.

The benefits were largest in people at highest risk for heart attacks and strokes but those at lower risk also realized some preventive benefits.

Washington D.C. [USA], Nov.15 : Dear bosses if you are not concern about your employees' emotion then it may cost you billions of dollars as the latter may indulge in unethical workplace behavior, ranging from tardiness to theft, says a study.

The new research suggests that it is important for supervisors to pay attention to employees' emotions especially when the emotion is anger as they are more likely to engage in unethical behavior at work, even if the source of their anger is not job-related.

At the same time, when employees are feeling guilty, they are far less likely to engage in unethical behavior than those in a more neutral emotional state, researchers found.

Washington D.C. [USA], Nov.14 : A recent study has found that pesticide exposure in farm workers from agricultural communities is linked with changes in the oral microbiome.

In the study, the investigators sampled oral swabs from 65 farm workers and 52 non-farm worker adults from the Yakima Valley (Washington) community agricultural cohort during the spring and summer (2005), when farm workers can undergo high pesticide exposures while working in recently sprayed orchards, thinning the fruit and pruning; and during winter (2006), when exposures are quite low.

Concurrently, they measured blood levels of organophosphate pesticides in the study subjects.

Washington D.C. [USA], Nov.14 : A recent study has found that cardiac rehabilitation after heart surgery helps the patient to deal with depression and significantly reduces the risk of death.

Depression has been known to be associated with poor cardiovascular outcomes, but if patients who are depressed attend cardiac rehabilitation after heart surgery, their risk of death is significantly reduced, according to the study.

The study, conducted by researchers at Intermountain Medical Center Heart Institute in Salt Lake City, found that patients who were moderately to severely depressed had a higher risk of death after cardiovascular surgery than patients with mild to no depression.
