Humiliation can be tough on your waistline. When you’re feeling ashamed, you’re more likely to overeat, according to research in the journal Appetite. Food can make you feel better about yourself, helping you overcome threatened social status, says study author Dr Wen-Bin Chiou. If you fail at something, recall a success. You’ll feel better and be less inclined to use food as a coping mechanism

Every year, about 1·1 million neonates die from com­ plications of preterm birth as estimated in 2010.1 Preterm birth is now worldwide the second most common cause­ of­death in children younger than 5 years after pneumonia, and is decreasing at a much slower rate than pneumonia, even increasing in several countries. Additionally, preterm birth is the leading risk factor for 393000 deaths due to neonatal infections and contributes to long­term growth impairment and substantial long­term morbidity such as cognitive, visual, and learning impairments.
The frst­ever national estimates of preterm birth (defned as <37 completed weeks of gestation) were recently published in The Lancet,4 undertaken with the
WHO, and included a country clearance process in which all UN member states countries were invited to review their estimates and provide feedback. These esti­ mates showed a total of 15 million babies born preterm in 2010, 5% of which were under 28 weeks’ gestation.Time trends for 65 countries from the Millennium Development Goals (MDG) Developed region, Latin America, and the Caribbean region, where more reliable data were available, showed that almost all these countries have had increased rates of preterm birth over the past two decades.
