Washington (AFP) - Parents often worry about the harmful impacts of video games on their children, from mental health and social problems to missing out on exercise. But a large new US study published in JAMA Network Open on Monday indicates there may also be cognitive benefits associated with the popular pastime. Lead author Bader Chaarani, an assistant professor of psychiatry at the University of Vermont, told AFP he was naturally drawn to the topic as a keen gamer himself with expertise in neuroimagery. Prior research had focused on detrimental effects, linking gaming with depression and i...

Washington (AFP) - Marijuana use by young Americans reached record levels last year and the use of hallucinogens is also on the rise, according to a new study. Forty-three percent of the 5,000 young adults between 19 and 30 years old surveyed reported past-year marijuana use in 2021, up from 34 percent in 2016 and 29 percent in 2011, the Monitoring the Future study by the University of Michigan found. Twenty-nine percent reported using marijuana in the past month in 2021, up from 21 percent in 2016 and 17 percent in 2011. Daily marijuana use rose from six percent in 2011 to eight percent in 20...

Washington (AFP) - Racial minorities receive less oxygen in the intensive care unit than white patients because of a flaw in a medical device found in hospitals across the world, a US study said Monday. The pulse oximeter, first developed in the 1970s, clips to a patient's finger and uses red and infrared light absorption to assess hemoglobin. But it is known to generate falsely elevated readings in people with darker skin. In new research published in JAMA Internal Medicine, Eric Raphael Gottlieb and colleagues looked back at records of 3,069 patients at the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Cent...

New York (AFP) - The number of Americans who identify as non-religious is soaring in the profoundly Christian United States, according to a Pew Research Center study published Tuesday. Some 29 percent of American adults are now religiously unaffiliated -- up from 16 percent 14 years ago -- the survey found. America is home to a powerful, socially conservative Christian right-wing political faction and Christianity remains the overwhelmingly dominant religion in the country. But the religion is declining markedly, the Pew results showed. Seventy-eight percent of US adults identified as Christia...

Houston (AFP) - The light bulb moment for neurosurgeons came as they conducted patient rounds one morning in 2017. "What we realized is that we weren't doing as many emergency surgeries on Friday and Saturday nights at two o'clock in the morning," Christopher Conner remembered with a smile from his hospital in the fourth-largest US city of Houston. "This is probably because of Uber." A study of the app-based ride-hailing service by researchers at University of Texas Health Science Center validates the theory and was published June 9 in scientific journal JAMA Surgery. It shows that use of Uber...
