Greetings, hope you're doing fine today - here's my list of news on panic attack and anxiety disorder once more.
Long-Term Cancer Survivors At Greater Risk Of Severe Stress
Long-term survivors of adult cancers are almost twice as likely to report psychological distress severe enough to cause moderate to serious problems functioning in social, work or school situations, compared to the general population, according to a large, national study presented September 24, 2008, at the American Society for Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology's 50th Annual Meeting in Boston.

Babies And Stress: Parenting Can Override Effect Of Genes In How Babies Respond To Stress
Everyone gets stressed, even babies. Now, it appears how infants respond to stress is linked to if they have a particular form of a certain gene, according to a new study from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Just as significantly, researchers say they have also found that good parenting - as early as within the first year of a child's life - can counter the effect the gene has in babies who initially do not respond well to stressful situations.

Near Infrared Nanoparticles Shine A Bright Light On Cancer
A new imaging method for breast cancer has been developed. More effective early detection of diseases is one of the promises of nanotechnology. Current imaging methods, such as x-rays and magnetic resonance imaging, are limited in the size of tumors they can detect, the depth they can penetrate the body, and by their potential side effects. Another promising imaging technique, near infrared bioimaging, is a noninvasive, painless, and non-ionizing form of radiation that operates at wavelengths just above that of visible light.
