In humorist Garrison Keillor's fictional hometown of Lake Wobegon, all children are above average. Corporations may want investors to believe the same thing about highly paid CEOs and this effect may explain high CEO pay, according to a new study by two researchers in the University of Utah's David Eccles School of Business.

The prostate cancer screening tests that have become an annual ritual for many men don't appear to reduce deaths from the disease among those with a limited life-expectancy, according to early results of a major U.S. study involving 75,000 men.
Expert Alert - Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) experts speak out for World Water Day (March 22).
Scientists at Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University have identified genetic markers that signal poor outcomes for patients with head and neck cancer. These findings could one day lead to a genetic test that could help select or predict successful treatment options for patients with this type of cancer.
Surprisingly, there is little understanding about the pain experience in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) other than measurements of pain intensity. A team of Canadian researchers addressed this knowledge gap in a study of 60 RA patients to assess their pain experiences, determine satisfaction with pain control, and explore barriers that may inhibit optimal pain management.
Smokers who still refuse to kick the habit after being diagnosed with lung cancer experience higher levels of pain from the disease than nonsmokers and former smokers, according to research reported in The Journal of Pain.
Although not having many close friends contributes to poorer health for older adults, those who also feel lonely face even greater health risks, new research says. Older people who are able to adjust to being alone don't have the same health problems. The study is the first to examine the relationships between health and two different types of isolation.

While depression is often linked to negative thoughts and emotions, a new study suggests the real problem may be a failure to appreciate positive experiences. Researchers found that depressed and non-depressed people were about equal in their ability to learn negative information that was presented to them. But depressed people weren't nearly as successful at learning positive information.
Dr. Fabrizio Michelassi, the Lewis Atterbury Stimson Professor and Chairman of the Department of Surgery at Weill Cornell Medical College and Surgeon-in-Chief at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Cornell Medical Center, is the newly elected president of the Society of Surgical Oncology (SSO), the premier national and international professional organization for the field.
An X-ray-guided spinal tap procedure fails more than half of the time in young infants and should be used sparingly, if at all, for those patients, according to a new study done by researchers at Wake Forest University School of Medicine.
The rapid growth of educational video games as a viable instructional tool has prompted academic researchers at the University of North Carolina Wilmington's Watson School of Education to implement a comprehensive study designed to learn more about the direct effects of educational video games on student mathematical achievement.
A new study has identified genes associated with the BRCA1 protein and their involvement in the DNA repair pathway, helping to clear the way for researchers to better understand what goes wrong when the BRCA1 gene is mutated and the repair pathway goes haywire. Identifying patients with mutations in these BRCA1-associated genes may help better fight breast cancer.
The de Souza Institute, a program dedicated to providing Ontarians with the world's best cancer nursing care, is investing $1.4 million in the province's 14 regional cancer centres for information technology and a space for nurses to learn.
