U.S. Teens Awash in Overconfidence

Compared with high school students of the seventies, U.S. teens today rate themselves as far more intelligent, self-satisfied and able to be exceptional spouses, parents and workers, according to a recent study. Today's kids are also much more likely to say they have a high IQ and are "A" students, even though other research reveals they do a lot less homework than their counterparts of the seventies. "What this shows is that confidence has crossed over into overconfidence," said Jean Twenge, an associate professor of psychology at San Diego State University. She, together with co-researcher W.

Reducing Stress Lowers Risk of Cardiovascular Problems

A Review in The Lancet reveals the importance of healthy lifestyle choices to reduce stressors related to cardiovascular risk factors. Researchers from John Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore examined records between 1990 to 2006. They observed how stress affects the sympathetic nervous system, impacts physiology, and the effect it has on the cardiovascular system.

New Meningitis Vaccine

The government has now formally recommended that a new meningitis vaccine be given to millions of children and college students. It's the first time a meningitis vaccine is targeted for those under 18. But there's one problem: there's not enough to go around.

House Calls

Dr. Veronica Lofaso and nurse practitioner Deidre Mole are preparing to see patients. There's no overflowing waiting room, there aren't even exam rooms filled with anxious patients. They leave their office to pound the pavement and visit patients in their homes. Dr Lofaso believes a doctor's house calls can be a much more effective method of consultation than having the patient travel to the clinic.
