Measuring fetal oxygen does not reduce Caesarean rate, researchers find

- UI researcher challenges explanations of children's 'word spurt'
08-02-2007 · EurekAlert!
Researchers have long known that at about 18 months children experience a vocabulary explosion, suddenly learning words at a much faster rate. They have theorized that complex mechanisms are behind the phenomenon. But new research by a University of Iowa professor suggests far simpler mechanisms may be at play: word repetition, variations in the difficulty of words, and the fact that children are learning multiple words at once.

- Penn study shows lower Caesarean rates associated with preventive labor induction
07-30-2007 · EurekAlert!
A four-year study of patients receiving an alternative method of obstetric care experienced a significantly lower rate of Caesarean births, according to a study published in the current issue of the Annals of Family Medicine. The study, conducted by researchers at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, reports that a cohort of women exposed to a safe, alternative method of maternity care had a 5.3 percent Caesarean delivery rate, compared to a 11.8 percent of women who received more traditional care.

- ASU researcher finds belief about neighbor's conservation is stealthily influential
02-18-2007 · EurekAlert!
If everyone jumped off a bridge, would you? Probably not, but according to a study by Arizona State University researchers, peer influence plays a greater role in people's behavior than is generally acknowledged. The study, which is being presented by ASU Regents' Professor of Psychology Robert Cialdini on Feb. 18 at the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, suggests that peer influence is an under-recognized factor in energy conservation.

- 'Junk' DNA now looks like powerful regulator, Stanford researcher finds
04-23-2007 · EurekAlert!
Large swaths of garbled human DNA once dismissed as junk appear to contain some valuable sections, according to a new study by researchers at the Stanford University School of Medicine and the University of California-Santa Cruz. The scientists propose that this redeemed DNA plays a role in controlling when genes turn on and off.

- Fetal heart rate yields clues to children's later development
11-15-2007 · EurekAlert!
New findings have linked fetal heart rate variation to children’s rate of development in the toddler years. Scientists measured the fetal heart rate and variability in fetuses of healthy women at 20 through 38 weeks of gestation. Follow up measurements of mental, motoR and language ability were examined in children born to these women at ages 24 and 36 months. Differences in variation of heart rate predicted the rate of developmental progress, including language ability.
