New research has found using the internet late into the night, triples the chance of young people developing mental illness.

The Sydney University study discovered those who play games or surf the net into the early hours sleep less, increasing their risk of anxiety, bipolar disorder, cardiovascular disease and weight gain.

As part of the research 20,000 Australians, between the ages of 17 and 24 were surveyed.

Some breast cancer tumors may not originate from stem cells as previously believed, according to a study published in the September 3rd issue of Cell Stem Cell. The discovery is an important step in the development of treatments for these cancers.

"Understanding the origins of these types of breast cancer is not only critical for developing preventative strategies against the disease but also for developing new targeted therapies," said Matthew Smalley, a mammary cell biologist at the Breakthrough Breast Cancer Centre in London and lead author on the study.

September is National Pain Awareness Month

Pain Awareness Month is a good time to reflect on how to become a better advocate for improved access to health care for all those who suffer with chronic pain.

Pain is a national health crisis that knows neither political parties nor constituent boundaries. It is the number one reason people seek medical help.

Chances are you know someone who lives with persistent pain - maybe it's you.

Although the reasons for having sex of any kind are varied and complex, reaching orgasm is usually the goal. Because we're all so different, coming up with a universal description of an orgasm is impossible. The one thing that most people can agree on is that it's an incredibly, intensely pleasurable experience.

ST. PAUL, Minn. – New research shows that mentally stimulating activities such as crossword puzzles, reading and listening to the radio may, at first, slow the decline of thinking skills but speed up dementia later in old age. The research is published in the September 1, 2010, online issue of Neurology®,the medical journal of the American Academy of Neurology.

It's not unusual for people living with chronic pain to also be dealing with some depression and/or anxiety. But if you're taking an opioid like oxycodone for the pain and also taking an herbal supplement containing St. John's Wort, you may unknowingly be reducing the effectiveness of your pain medication.

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) – Sleep specialists can sometimes diagnose and manage obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) with home-based tests instead of in-lab polysomnography, new research suggests.

In a randomized trial prepublished online in Chest on February 19, Canadian investigators showed that both approaches led to similar four-week outcomes in daytime sleepiness, sleep quality, blood pressure, and adherence to treatment.

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) – The combination of the dipeptidyl peptidase (DPP)-4 inhibitor alogliptin and the thiazolidinedione pioglitazone effectively reduces HbA1c in patients with type 2 diabetes uncontrolled by diet and exercise, and a multicenter study shows.

The catch is that alogliptin is yet to be approved by the US Food and Drug Administration. Reports say that may not be until 2013.

There may be certain conditions under which animals can forgo sleep without serious consequences, even though scientists have considered it an activity that is absolutely indispensible, new research suggests.

When flies are starved, they are able to stay awake for long periods of time without suffering the negative outcomes of sleep deprivation, including cognitive impairment, according to a study published online today (August 31) in PLoS Biology.

Altruism is alive and well in bacterial populations, according to new research in Nature, which found that a few altruistic bacteria help their neighbors withstand the assaults of antibiotics, even at a cost to themselves.

Researchers from Boston University found that a minority of resistant bacteria help their susceptible neighbors survive by producing and sharing high amounts of the signaling molecule indole, which guards cells against oxidative stress and helps them flush out the antibiotic. But by doing so, they have fewer resources left for their own growth.

RNA can bind and sense the shapes of other molecules by feeling them with its backbone—
and not just its bases. What gives RNA molecules this remarkable versatility?

Potential new targeted treatment improves language, cognition, parents say.

Scientists from the National Institutes of Health and University of Chicago have found a promising treatment method that in laboratory mice reduces the severity of skin and soft-tissue damage caused by USA300, the leading cause of community-associated Staphylococcus aureus infections in the United States. By neutralizing a key toxin associated with the bacteria, they found they could greatly reduce the damaging effects of the infection on skin and soft tissue. Community strains of S.

WASHINGTON: Eating a variety of fruits and vegetables may decrease the risk of some kinds of lung cancer for smokers, according to a study released Monday.

"Although quitting smoking is the most important preventive action in reducing lung cancer risk, consuming a mix of different types of fruit and vegetables may also reduce risk, independent of the amount, especially among smokers," said H. Bas Bueno-de-Mesquita of the Netherlands-based National Institute for Public Health and the Environment.

Most large-scale renewable resources are usually in remote areas rather than near major load centers and to access these resources, new transmission infrastructure needs to be developed.
