29/01/2016 Paracetamol use in pregnancy may harm fertility Using painkillers in pregnancy may reduce fertility in subsequent generations, warns a research. Tests conducted on rats revealed that when a mother was given painkillers during pregnancy, her female offspring had fewer eggs, smaller ovaries and smaller litters of babies than those not exposed to the drugs, the study revealed. The findings are significant given the similarities between the reproductive systems of rats and humans, although it is difficult to directly extrapolate these results to pregnant women, the researchers noted. "It's important to remember that this study was conducted in rats not humans, however, there are many similarities between the two reproductive systems,” said Richard Sharpe, professor at the University of Edinburgh in Britain.

06/08/2015 In a study, found many couples don't like erotic kissing!!! Sexual and romantic kissing is not welcomed in many cultures around the world, finds an interesting study, adding that some even find the erotic lip-lock uncomfortable and even repulsive. Using standard cross-cultural methods, researchers from Indiana University found that fewer than half of all 168 cultures surveyed -- 46 percent -- engage in romantic or sexual kissing. Romantic kissing was defined as lip-to-lip contact that may or may not be prolonged. When it comes to human kissing, it does serve as a way to learn more about a partner, “whether one feels there is any 'chemistry,' or possibly to assess health via taste and smell and to assess compatibility with each other,” explained lead author Justin Garcia, research scientist at Kinsey Institute at Indiana University. There is likely a biological underpinning to open-mouth kissing.
06/08/2015 Have a single child? Check if happiness still there in your life!! Parents, please listen carefully. If you do not enjoy the company of a second child, look back to find out if the happiness quotient has taken a nosedive between you two after the birth of your firstborn. According to an interesting study, couples who perceive a drop in happiness in the first year after they became parents have a lower probability of having a second child. The effect is especially strong for mothers and fathers who are well educated and older. “Larger the loss in well-being, the smaller the probability of a second baby,” said lead researcher Mikko Myrskyla from the Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research (MPIDR) in Rostock, Germany. “Parents' experience with and after the first birth help predict how large the family will be eventually,” he added. The findings also showed that for mothers and fathers, the drop in life satisfaction during the year following the first birth is even larger than that caused by unemployment, divorce or the death of a partner. In order to explore this, the researchers looked at the mother's and father's self-reported life satisfaction in the German Socio-Economic Panel Study (SOEP).
