25 August 10 - 03:20China have insufficient sleep
A new study on students' sleeping habits suggests that more than 70 percent of
primary through senior high school students do not get enough
sleep.
Researchers at Xinhua Hospital, an affiliate of Shanghai Jiaotong
University's School of Medicine, found that primary school students get an
average of 9 hours and 10 minutes of sleep a night; junior high students get 8
hours and 6 minutes; and senior high school students get 7 hours and 9 minutes.
None of those times are enough for each group, researchers say.
A parent
blamed a heavy homework load, as well as extracurricular activities that take up
even more of a student's time.
"No parent would like to see their child
lagging behind at the very start," the parent said.
Yan Chonghuai of
Xinhua Hospital said insufficient sleep causes various problems in children and
teenagers.
"Insufficient sleep will not only restrain children's
all-around development, but will also ...

27 July 10 - 06:28music's many moods
He and his band are giving the song Going My Way alternately a rock, pop, folk
and jazz treatment, as part of the ongoing Audi On Stage festival.
The
audience is impressed.
"By adopting different rhythms and emphasizing
different chords, any song can be changed to evoke different moods from the
listeners. It's like drawing on a piece of paper with colorful brushes," the
40-year-old says.
Although Going My Way, a new song created by Zhang for
a car advertisement, was the only song performed that night, he clearly had the
audience in thrall.
"I am not a master. I am here just to share my
thoughts about music and stories of my music writing," he says. "For example,
when I write a song for a car, I feel it first. For some, a car may represent
speed but for me, it means a part of my family So I wrote the song with warmth.
But it can be made to sound like rock if we change the drum beats and bass
lines. ...

04 June 10 - 07:45don't need steroids
Got a bad sore throat? Don't rush to ask your doctor for steroids such as
prednisone, says a new review of studies.
There's been "a bit of a push"
to use corticosteroids to treat sore throats based on the drugs'
inflammation-quelling powers, study co-author Dr. Brian H. Rowe of the
University of Alberta in Edmonton told Reuters Health, but not much evidence as
to whether they help.
Steroids, given by mouth or by injection, are
powerful drugs with short- and long-term side effects, he said, so they
shouldn't be prescribed unless there's clear evidence that their benefits
outweigh the risks.
To investigate, he and his colleagues searched the
medical literature and came up with 10 "gold standard" clinical studies
comparing corticosteroids -- with or without antibiotics -- to inactive placebo
or standard treatment in patients with sore throat. The studies included nearly
1,100 patients.
The team reports in the journal Academic ...
