Exercise to reduce breast cancer risk through weight control
National Breast Cancer Awareness Month highlights that regular physical activity and weight loss can greatly lower risk. Experts say 25 percent of cases could be avoided with healthy weight and activity, with menopausal women most affected by obesity. Small daily moves and 1.25 to 2.5 hours weekly brisk walking cut risk, while survivors benefit from ongoing exercise for better life quality.

Listening visits aid mothers of preterm babies in Iowa study
A University of Iowa study reports NICU listening visits with mothers of preterm infants reduce anxiety and low mood while boosting self esteem. Twenty three mothers participated from 2010 to mid last year with five sessions each led by Rebecca Siewert. The work, published in the Journal of Perinatology, suggests listening by nurses helps mothers care for their babies and themselves.

Study funds support nurses handling postnatal anxiety
The University of Iowa funded the research with its social science program and Lisa Segre received NIH support during the study. The trial shows etv levels dropping from 16.57 to 9.13 on the Beck Anxiety Inventory and participants reporting improved self views after sessions and at one month. The study prompts debate on whether nurses should be first line for postnatal mothers. Segre calls the results preliminary and seeks a larger randomized trial. Siewert adds that listening is a core nursing strength and supports expanding nursing roles.
