Research Reveals Early Signs of Autism in Some Kids

BALTIMORE — Some infants headed for a diagnosis of autism, or autism spectrum disorder as it’s officially known, can be reliably identified at 14 months old based on the presence of five key behavior problems, according to an ongoing long-term study described March 11 at the International Conference on Infant Studies. These social, communication and motor difficulties broadly align with psychiatric criteria for diagnosing autism spectrum disorder in children at around age 3, said psychologist Rebecca Landa of the Kennedy Krieger Institute in Baltimore. In her investigation, the presence of all five behaviors at 14 months predicted an eventual diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder in 15 of 16 children. “That’s much better than clinical judgment at predicting autism,” Landa noted. Her five predictors of autism spectrum disorders among 14-month-olds at high risk for developing this condition include a lack of response to others’ attempts to engage them in play, infrequent attempts to initiate ...

Big Earthquakes Cause Premature Births

A new study of a 2005 earthquake in Chile supports the surprising hypothesis that pregnant women who experience earthquakes during the first trimester of their pregnancies have increased risk of premature birth and slightly smaller babies. While the drops in birth weight and gestation time are relatively small, they are big enough to suggest that earthquakes experienced more than six months before birth can negatively impact a pregnancy. “It’s statistically significant, way above the margin of error,” said Florencia Torche, the NYU sociologist who crunched the number, which has been submitted to a demographic journal. “It’s not due to chance.” Torche’s new study has not yet been through peer review, but it is consistent with an emerging line of research on the impacts of earthquakes on mothers and their unborn. Maternal stress has long been linked to premature birth and low birth weights, but it was a landmark 2001 study of the 1994 ...

Video: Cold, Little Comet Is No Match for Big, Hot Sun

A small, newly discovered comet will not get a chance to enjoy its fame for long. As you can see in this image sequence obtained by NASA’s Solar and Heliosopheric Observatory, the comet is on a collision course with the sun. Things will not end well for the comet, which will burn. The comet is believed to be a Kreutz Sungrazer, a class of objects that are fragments of a supercomet that broke up long ago. Many of them are discovered by amateur astronomer internet users (like you) staring at NASA data. The solar images also show a coronal mass ejection at the upper left of the frame. These expulsions of energetic particles from the sun cause solar storms here on Earth and tend to create beautiful auroral displays in the Earth’s polar regions. The other bright object in the video is the planet Mercury. Via Spaceweather.com See Also: Comet’s 10 Million-Mile Tail Lights Up in ...

Solar Slumber May Have Been Caused by Magnetic Flows

Newly reported observations of gas flows on the solar surface may explain why the sun recently had such an extended case of the doldrums. From 2008 through the first half of 2009, the sun had a puzzling dearth of sunspots, flares and other storms, extending the usual lull at the end of the 11-year solar activity cycle for an extra 15 months. Findings from the study, which relied on the orbiting Solar and Heliospheric Observatory, or SOHO, may also suggest a better way to forecast the intensity and duration of future solar cycles. Better predictions could be critical because some solar outbursts can blast Earth with massive, magnetized clouds of charged particles capable of knocking out electrical power grids and harming communications satellites. In the March 12 Science, David Hathaway of NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala., and Lisa Rightmire of the University of Memphis in Tennessee analyzed 13 years of ...
