  • Studies: Infants' peanut exposure could prevent allergies for them later

    CHICAGO (AP) — Two new studies bolster evidence that feeding babies peanuts or other allergy-inducing foods is more likely to protect them than to cause problems. One study, a follow-up to landmark research published last year, suggests that the early prevention strategy leads to persistent, long-lasting results in children at risk for food allergies.

    US scientists have developed a machine that enables people to navigate a robotic wheelchair through their thoughts. "In some severely disabled people, even blinking is not possible," said Miguel Nicolelis, a neuroscientist at Duke University. "For them, using a wheelchair or device controlled by non-invasive measures like an EEG (a device that monitors brain waves through electrodes on the scalp) may not be sufficient," he said. "We show clearly that if you have intracranial implants, you get be..

    Here's why sleeping too little makes you crave junk food - Chicago Sun
    Getting too little sleep has been linked to bad food choices and overeating. Now, scientists say they think they have a better idea of why.

That’s according to a University of Chicago study published last week in the journal SLEEP that says it’s a similar effect to what happens when people use marijuana. “Sleep rest..

The study analyzed 14,105 cases of ACL reconstruction including those consisting of bone-patellar tendon-bone..
