Researchers have found that the common household surfaces like TV remote control, refrigerator door handles and bathroom taps are the hotspots to spread cold virus. By touching these contaminated surfaces, the virus could transfer to another and cause a cold infection.

British newspaper 'The Daily Telegraph' reported that 42% of surfaces in the homes found traces of rhinovirus. The findings are based on experiment of Scientists at the University of Virginia. They have tested the homes of 30 people who were suffering from cold.

A recent study conducted by Dr. Jan Shifren, of Massachusetts General's Obstetrics and Gynecology Service and team surveyed 32,000 women aged 18 and older, across the U.S. The participants were asked standardized questions about their sexual health. The survey also gauged the women’s distress related to their sex lives — including feelings of anger, guilt, frustration, and worry.

Overall, 43.1% women reported some kind of sexual problem; 39% had diminished desire; 26% had arousal problems, and 21% had problems with achieving orgasm.

But luckily only 12% suffered from personal distress due to these problems.

A recent study conducted on 40,000 mothers and their babies found that 1-in-5 women gain too much weight during pregnancy, which doubles the chances of their babies gaining 9-pounds or more.

The findings of the research by Dr. Hillier M.D., of Kaiser Permanente Northwest and colleagues have been published  in the November issue of Obstetrics and Gynecology.

The research also found these babies are prone to obesity later in life.

"The take-home message is that all pregnant women need to watch their weight gain and it is especially important for women who have risk factors like gestational diabetes," said Dr Hiller
