Virulent tooth decay in toddlers can be caused by combination of bacterium and fungus
Date: Mar-15-2014Early childhood caries, a highly aggressive and painful form of tooth decay that frequently occurs in preschool children, especially from backgrounds of poverty, may result from a nefarious partnership between a bacterium and a fungus, according to a paper published ahead of print in the journal Infection and Immunity.The resulting tooth decay can be so severe that treatment frequently requires surgery - in the operating room, says corresponding author Hyun (Michel) Koo of the University of Pennsylvania.
Comparable outcomes for outpatient, inpatient orthopaedic surgeries
Date: Mar-15-2014As the effectiveness of anesthesia, pain management and rehabilitation continues to improve, more orthopaedic procedures are being done on an outpatient basis. In a new research study presented at the 2014 Annual Meeting of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS), same-day total joint replacement (TJR) patient outcomes were comparable to those of patients admitted to the hospital and staying at least one night following surgery. However, readmission rates, although statistically "non-significant," were higher for outpatient procedures.
New study suggests contagious yawning is not linked to empathy
Date: Mar-15-2014Along with the whereabouts of Bigfoot and the answer to whether we are alone in the universe, the mechanism behind contagious yawning remains one of life's great mysteries. Though previous studies have suggested a link to empathy, new research suggests this is not the case, rendering it still largely unexplained.The study, published in the journal PLOS ONE, was conducted by researchers from the Duke Center for Human Genome Variation in North Carolina.

The 5-second rule is not an urban myth, say researchers
Date: Mar-15-2014You are just about to eat the last chocolate that you have been saving all day, but as it reaches your mouth, you drop it on the floor. Do you throw it away? Or do you pick it up, give it a quick wipe and eat it? Many of us would refer to the "5-second rule" to justify eating it. Now, new research suggests this urban myth may actually hold scientific fact.The 5-second rule is the theory that if food is retrieved within 5 seconds of being dropped on the floor, it is safe to eat because there has not been enough time for bacteria to contaminate it.

Pets in pain: countering the caregiver placebo effect
Date: Mar-15-2014How do you know that your pet is benefiting from its pain medication? A new clinical trial design could help overcome pet owners' unconscious observation bias and determine whether the drugs they test are effective. When animals are recruited for clinical trials, particularly for pain medications, researchers must rely on owner observation to determine whether the medication is working. Sounds simple enough, but as it turns out, human and animal behavior can affect the results.
