Blind people are better than sighted people when it comes to sensing their own heartbeats, a new study shows – hinting that not being able to see as much externally leads to a more acute awareness of what's happening internally.Researchers hooked up a pulse oximeter to 36 blind people and 36 age- and sex-matched people with full sight. While each participant's heartbeat rate was scientifically measured, they were also asked to count their own heartbeats without checking their pulse or touching their own bodies in any…

Care leavers in England are more than 10 times more likely than their peers to not be working or studying in their 21st year, a new study has shown. (Care leavers are "any adult who spent time in care as a child," including "foster care, residential care, or other arrangements outside the immediate or extended family.") Researchers from the Universities of York, Oxford and Exeter showed that almost one-third of…

Acute low back pain is a prevalent disability, and an analysis in the Journal of Orthopaedic Research reviewed which non-opioid drugs are most effective in treating this condition. The analysis, which included 18 studies with 3,478 patients, found that muscle relaxants and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) can efficiently and quickly alleviate symptoms.Acute low back pain is a common cause of disability.
