DOES TECHNOLOGY INCREASE TEEN STRESS?

by Damon Verial

 

Bullying doesn't end at the school bell but continues online. Today, it is rare to find a teen who doesn’t have a
phone or Internet access. Parents might worry about the stress such technology brings to a teen’s life, and they
should. Technology, despite its advantages, can interfere in a teen’s life in ways that bring considerable amounts
of stress. Parents should stay informed on these issues and limit their teen’s access to technology when problems
[05] occur.
Social Stress
Gone are the days when a teen comes home from school and leaves it behind. Today the teens are always in a
social environment, virtually, if not physically. With smart phones, instant messaging and social networks, the
social environment of school has spread into the home. This means the social problems of teens often follow
[10] them home, causing mental stress when they should be relaxing or studying. In severe cases, school bullying can
make its way online in the form of cyberbullying. In cyberbullying, bullies verbally harass their victims over the
phone and Internet or spread rumors about them on social networks and websites. Because teens put
increasingly more emphasis on their social status as they age, the stress that technology brings can often
increase throughout high school.

Rare ‘Coffin Birth' Found in Black Death Burial Site

by Rossella Lorenzi

 

Researchers investigating a 14th century burial ground have identified a rare case of "coffin birth" - a gruesome phenomenon in which a deceased pregnant woman's fetus is expelled within the grave. The event, which has seldom been reported in archaeology, is known as postmortem fetal extrusion. It results from a build-up of gas pressure within the decomposing body. "In this case, we have a partial expulsion of a 38- to 40-week-old fetus, which was found to be complete and to lie within the birth canal," Deneb Cesana, at the University of Genova, told Seeker.

Could Eating a Second Breakfast Help You Lose Weight?

by Alexa Erickson

 

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, right? So why not have two? There’s a growing trend promoting a “second breakfast” as a weight-loss mechanism. The idea: If you eat more in the morning, you’ll be less likely to snack at night, when, according to research, it’s harder to burn off calories. Now there’s research adding weight to this claim.

 

A study conducted by researchers at Yale and the University of Connecticut suggests that eating something small to jump-start your metabolism followed by a slightly larger meal an hour or two later can keep you satiated until lunchtime and help prevent overeating throughout the rest of the day. The study, published in the journal Pediatric Obesity, tracked the weight and breakfast-eating patterns of students from 12 randomly selected urban area schools over the course of two years. The team looked at six different eating patterns: frequent breakfast skippers, inconsistent school eaters, inconsistent home eaters, frequent school eaters, frequent home eaters, and double-breakfast eaters. They found that it was the frequent breakfast skippers who showed increased odds of becoming overweight or obese compared to the double-breakfast eaters.

Surgeons Conduct Head Transplants on Rats, Say Humans Are Next

After 14 head transplants on rats, a pair of surgeons say they will attempt a human head transplant in the next 10 months in China.

by Eva Hershaw

 

Chinese scientists have transplanted the head of a donor rat onto the back of a host body, creating an equally garish and impressive two-headed rat that may offer insights into the viability of an eventual human head transplant.

 

The process, which was done by way of a rat triad, which included a donor, recipient, and blood supply rat, provided a continuous blood supply to the donor brain throughout the transplant, avoiding brain tissue hypothermia — a condition where the brain suffers in absence of a blood supply. The problem has long been one of the major barriers to carrying out a successful head transplant in animal specimens.
