Why is soccer ball heading more risky for women?
By Wayne Forrest
The authors of a new editorial in Radiology speculate on why soccer ball heading causes more brain changes on MRI scans in women than men. The team from Norway speculates that because both sexes play with the same standard-sized ball, heading has a relatively greater effect on women.

US screening data from Fukushima shed light on thyroid cancer in kids
By Philip Ward
The latest results of mass ultrasound screening of children for thyroid cancer after the Fukushima disaster were published online on November 29 by JAMA Otolaryngology -- Head & Neck Surgery. The study provides vital data on thyroid cancer and may lead to growing demands outside of Japan for more ultrasound scans in younger people, increasing the risk of overdiagnosis, experts have warned.
