Health Tips of the Week
- While radiation therapy is common after breast conserving surgery, it’s much less frequent after mastectomy, even among women for whom it would have clear life-saving benefit. This is according to a new study from researchers at the University of Michigan Comprehensive Cancer Center.
- Those cute little rolls of fat some infants have may actually slow their ability to crawl and walk, according to a new study by the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. The study, published recently online in The Journal of Pediatrics, shows that infants who are overweight may be slower than thinner babies to develop motor skills.
- Fewer than 1 in 4 pregnant women meet physical activity guidelines set by doctors and health officials, according to a University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill study.
- All parents worry when their child is undergoing surgery and anesthesia. You might assume that children undergoing surgery would be much relieved to find Mom or Dad is there when they wake up—but that's not necessarily the case, according to a study in the April issue of Anesthesia & Analgesia.
- New research demonstrates that hard-working women in dual-earner couples are at a distinct disadvantage to their male peers. These women are expected to do more housework and caregiving, making them much more likely to quit their jobs.
- When faced with a choice that could yield either short-term satisfaction or longer-term benefits, people with complete information about the options generally go for the quick reward.
- According to a new study, small doses of chocolate every day could decrease your risk of having a heart attack or stroke by nearly 40%. German researchers followed nearly 20,000 people over eight years.

- According to Ohio State University the best way to help teenagers who are struggling in school is put aside their academic problems and focus on what they’re doing right, according to a family research scientist who has put this theory to practice.

I don’t even think it was the speaker’s fault; I blame it on spring. Instead of taking notes, I doodled. Most everybody at one time or another has doodled in a notebook to the chagrin of many teachers who wrongly accused this student of not paying attention. What these teachers didn’t realize was that doodling helped many absorb the material in a more relaxed manner.

Also, this absent minding scribbling is a creative activity which releases images that one might suppress inside. Drawing is much more honest than words which can rationalize almost anything.
