NEW HAVEN - Recent studies involving researchers from the Yale School of Medicine have yielded findings that range from explaining why people go on eating binges to how to relax women during a surgical procedure. In case you ever wondered, the findings include:
• Teasing people about their general appearance, more than making fun of their weight and size, may play a role in binge eating disorders.
• Women who wore a virtual-reality headset during a painful surgical procedure for infertility found the soothing scenes and music reduced their anxiety and discomfort.
• The trauma that a majority of drug addicts suffered in early life increased their vulnerability to drug addiction.
• Protein toxins found in bacteria, which are the most common culprit in food poisoning, also attack and destroy DNA.
• Adults have serious gaps in knowledge about child development. And,
• Brain scans of children born prematurely show that key areas of the brain are much smaller than those of children born at full term.
