Metabolic Bone Disease of Prematurity
Advances in neonatal care have led to increased survival rates in preterm infants. Optimizing postnatal nutrition has been a critical factor for improved growth and outcomes in very low-birth-weight infants.

The aim of this review is to discuss the pathophysiology, diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of metabolic ...

Get an Eye Mask: I live in a rented apartment where the...

Anxiety Tips Nobody Ever Tells You About
There is a lot of mental health advice on the Internet. I mean, a lot. So much. Which is so weird, because most of it is exactly the same. Exercise! Sleep! Practice your breathing! Take this magical fish oil! Think positive thoughts! You get what I mean. All of this stuff can be helpful. Except the fish oil -- that's just absolute bullshit. But part of why this advice is considered so widely helpful is because it is so generic. And that is a problem, especially for people with anxiety, who can become easily overwhelmed by trying to navigate such broad advice. As someone with anxiety, I have read just about every advice ar...

15 Science-Backed Ways To Fall Asleep Faster
SPECIAL FROM Can’t sleep? Join the club. Insomnia affects almost half of U.S. adults 60 and older, says theNational Institutes of Health. Unless certain medical conditions or medications are the cause of your sleeplessness, the most common culprit is anxiety, says Lisa Meltzer, an education scholar for the National Sleep Foundation and associate professor of pediatrics at National Jewish Health in Denver. "If you're anxious and worried, it's very difficult to relax and fall asleep," says Meltzer. "When you're not sleeping well, you'll be more anxious and you'll have a harder time regulating emotion.

Sleeping Around: How to Sleep on a Lavender Farm
"Have any more of that lavender spray?" It is not the urgent question you might expect from a seven-foot professional basketball player, but recently I was assaulted with requests from some of the NBA athletes with whom I work for little two ounce bottles of lavender pillow spray. On a previous visit, I introduced the idea of taking the spray on the road to the guys as a way of creating a sense of familiarity when you sleep in different hotels for months at a time. Clearly, it worked. Life on the road is a challenge for many, in particular athletes who move from city to city. Many others experience similar challenges when...

Why the Smells of Flowers Affect Us More Than We Think
By Pat Miller, florist on BloomNation and Owner of A Bed of Roses Florist in San Francisco, CA It turns out there's a reason why you love decorating your home and office with fresh flowers -- biophilia.

This natural tendency makes the exposure to plants and flowers on a regular basis more necessary than most would think. Unfortunately, our cemented-over way of daily living disconnects us from the natural world, both physically and emotionally. Recent studies at Harvard and Rutgers show that expos...

How I Finally Made Peace With My Anxiety Disorder
I sank into the faded green couch and prepared to tell another stranger about a part of myself I'd been trying to get rid of since I was a child; to describe what it feels like on those rare occasions when my brain tells me to run from everything; when even the most mundane daily tasks -- driving to the store, making plans -- can trigger a fight-or-flight response so intense that my vision blurs, my heart palpitates, my palms perspire, and I am left gasping for breath. Anyone who believes anxiety is purely a mental phenomenon has never had a panic attack.
As I prepared to tell this man about the inner workings of my psyc...
