People with impulsive or aggressive behaviors were likely to become overweight, while those who were highly neurotic and less conscientious may tend to experience weight fluctuations, a study in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology found.

Classical music in ICU helps calm ventilated patients, study shows
A study in Anesthesiology News found that when classical music was piped into the ICU at San Francisco General Hospital, ventilated patients needed lower doses of sedatives. Hospital researchers did a pilot study with five ICU patients and found that after two hours of music sedation needs dropped 33%, with the effect lasting for one hour after the music stopped.
