Washington, Feb 27 : People who covered their notepads with scribbles may not have had entirely wasted the goal behind attending a dull meeting, suggests a new study, which found that doodling while listening can help with remembering details.

Washington, February 27: The European Society of Cardiology has warned that elderly people, who regularly report feeling sleepy during the day, may be at an increased risk of dying from cardiovascular disease.
The warning comes following the publication of a French study by the American Heart Association in the journal Stroke.
Researchers at Northwestern University have developed two compounds that may be effective in protecting against cerebral palsy, a condition caused by neurodegeneration that affects body movement and muscle coordination.
"The results were just stunning, absolutely amazing. There was a remarkable difference between animals treated with a small dose of one of our compounds and those that were not," said Richard B. Silverman, John Evans Professor of Chemistry in the Weinberg College of Arts and Sciences at Northwestern, who led the drug development effort.
Melbourne, Feb 26 : Forget about diets, exercise and other weight-loss methods, for LAP band surgery is a cheaper way to fight obesity and diabetes, according to a new study.
The first of its kind Victorian study by Monash and Deakin universities has found that gastric banding can also provide more healthy years to highly obese patients, while saving the system thousands of dollars in ongoing costs.
The findings come in line with calls by doctors for weight-loss surgery to be subsidised.
Washington, February 26 : Experts at the Children's Hospital Informatics Program (CHIP) say that an individual's lifetime risk of stroke can now be predicted with the aid of a new statistical model.
During a study, they used genetic information from 569 hospital patients, and showed that their predictive model could estimate an individual's overall risk of cardioembolic stroke - the most common form of stroke - with 86 percent accuracy.
"For complex diseases like stroke, it's not just a single mutation that will kill you. More likely it is an interaction of many factors," explains CHIP researcher Dr. Marco Ramoni, an Associate Professor at Harvard Medical School and senior author of the study reported in the journal Stroke.
