Gestures can help to get the message across for people with language disorders

When words fail, gestures can help to get the message across - especially for people who have a language disorder. An international research team has now shown that listeners attend the gestures of people with aphasia more often and for much longer than previously thought. This has implications for the use of gestures in speech therapy.

Motherhood does not negatively impact a woman's chance of surviving breast cancer

Having a baby after breast cancer does not negatively impact a woman's chance of surviving the disease. A new study shows that survival is no worse in younger women, those who had not been pregnant before, and those with hormone-receptor positive breast cancer.
