...because your preschooler is still sucking his or her thumb at night? Ask your dentist how to use a technique outlined in the journal Pediatric Dentistry safely. The method involves wrapping an Ace bandage (snugly, but not too tightly) around your child's elbow, from mid-arm to mid-forearm, to create a gentle tension that pulls the thumb from the mouth as the youngster relaxes and falls asleep. The approach, which has shown a 60% rate of success, requires that your child be willing to try it, and that he or she be periodically rewarded...

...family colorfully illustrates both ends of the tattoo age spectrum. At 77, my Uncle Harvey sports several, including, on his left forearm, a schooner that arrived there during World War II. Harvey is sheepish about his tattoos, describing them as "stupid mistakes." On the other hand, my 20-year-old stepcousin Aaron will proudly roll up his T-shirt sleeve to show his right arm, covered from shoulder to elbow with his initials surrounded by a design that resembles Victorian wallpaper. An intricately tattooed Yoda from Star Wars sagely sits on his left calf. Aaron describes his body...
...would anyone take hair from a man's head and grow it on a woman's arm? To advance science--and maybe a new treatment for baldness. In a novel experiment, researchers removed patches of a man's scalp--hair, roots and follicles--and transplanted them onto the forearm of an unrelated woman. The patches took root and after more than two months showed no signs of rejection. This suggests it may someday be possible to cover bald spots with a full head of hair from someone with hair to spare...
