A study in the latest JAMA using data from two nationally representative surveys indicates that hearing loss among U.S. adolescents increased by about 30 percent in a 12 year period ending 2006, with 1 in 5 adolescents having hearing loss in the 2005-2006 results.
Hearing loss is a common sensory disorder, affecting tens of millions of people in the United States. Adolescent hearing loss is not well understood but some risk factors, like loud sound exposure from listening to music, may be of particular importance to both adolescents and parents.

Obesity rates have leveled off and even started to decline for many adolescents, but not certain racial and ethnic minorities, according to a new study.
The study says it is the first to find significant differences in obesity trends over time by race and ethnicity and this evidence of increasing racial disparities for obesity underscores the need for more tailored intervention programs and policies that target high-risk groups, the authors conclude.
Kristine Madsen, MD, MPH, an assistant professor of pediatrics at U.C. San Francisco, and co-authors examined trends in the prevalence of…
That did it, if only by an inch. Damn!
Two days ago, back from a 4-week vacation to Greece, I approached my faithful and precise scale with a clear, pre-determined thought in my mind: "If I am over 77.5 kilograms, I will start a strict diet to bring me back to below 72!".
As I stepped atop it, the bitch blinked, thought it over for a moment, and then the large liquid-crystal display informed me that my weight was 77.6 kilograms. The smallest division of the scale condemned me, as I could do little to avoid the just punishment: that scale is really precise -I have determined in the past that…
A new study says that mild H1N1 infection may go undetected using standard diagnostic criteria and concludes that coughing or other respiratory symptoms are more accurate in determining influenza infection than presence of a fever.
A team led by Sang Won Park, MD, professor at the Seoul National University, investigated confirmed cases of H1N1 who were hospitalized and quarantined during the early stages of the pandemic in 2009. The study's results showed only 45.5 percent of the case subjects had fever. Individuals with mild infection and no fever have the potential to evade…

The Geneva Protocol was ratified the 17 June 1925, banned the use of biological weapons but Japan refused to approve the contract and the U.S. to ratify it.
Therefore in 1936 Shiro Ishii (1892 -1959) physician, microbiologist and general Japanese, guided the biological weapons program of the Empire of Japan, under the command of a military unit called Research Unit 731.
Unit 731 was established in 1932 and gave birth to an organization sponsored by the State and dedicated to biological terrorism and mass murder, with workshops and camps scattered in the huge empire that Japan had in the '…
Ethnobotany is usually defined as anthropological approach to botany. There are several methods of ethnobotanical research and those relevant to medicinal plants are archaeological search in literature, herbaria and the field studies.
“Man, ever desirous of knowledge, has already explored many things, but more and greater still remains concealed; perhaps reserved for far distant generations, who shall prosecute the examination of their creator’s work in remote countries and make many discoveries for the pleasure and convenience of life…”
The above quotation of Linneaus is the most…

There are many predictions suggesting that climate change could create new permissive habitats for disease transmitting arthropod vectors. As a result of climate change, and associated global warming, permissive environments which provide conditions for enhanced breeding and extended life-spans of insects are predicted. With these environmental changes greater vector-borne disease spread and increases in disease transmission rates are projected in many parts of the world.
Insect vectors can transmit viral, bacterial, protozoal and helminth organisms to humans and result in diseases which…
If you pass your ball to others to score a goal you win the match. That one has seen yesterday and that one will see today and in next week also. I have already told who the winner will be . Now you also guess.
One who works as a team and that one has seen in the footwork of Germany.
