Fetuses yawn in the womb, 4D Scans Suggest

ScienceDaily (Nov. 21, 2012) ? We know that unborn babies hiccup, swallow and stretch in the womb, but new observational research concludes that they also yawn.

The 4D scans of 15 healthy fetuses, by Durham and Lancaster Universities, also suggest that yawning is a developmental process which could potentially give doctors another index of a fetus' health.

The study is published Nov. 21 in the journal PLOS ONE.

While some researchers have suggested that fetuses yawn, others have disagreed and claim it is simple mouth opening.

But the new research clearly distinguished 'yawning' from 'non-yawn mouth opening' based on the duration of mouth opening. The researchers did this by using the 4D video footage to closely examine all events where a mouth stretch occurred in the fetus.

Using their newly developed criteria, the research team found that over half of the mouth openings observed in the study were classed as yawns.

The study was carried out on eight female and seven male fetuses from 24 to 36 weeks gestation. The researchers found that yawning declined from 28 weeks and that there was no significant difference between boys and girls in yawning frequency.

Although the function and importance of yawning is still unknown, the study findings suggest that yawning could be linked to fetal development, and as such could provide a further medical indication of the health of the unborn baby.

Lead researcher, Dr Nadja Reissland, of Durham University's Department of Psychology, said: "The results of this study demonstrate that yawning can be observed in healthy fetuses and extends previous work on fetal yawning. Our longitudinal study shows that yawning declines with increasing fetal age.

"Unlike us, fetuses do not yawn contagiously, nor do they yawn because they are sleepy. Instead, the frequency of yawning in the womb may be linked to the maturing of the brain early in gestation.

"Given that the frequency of yawning in our sample of healthy fetuses declined from 28 weeks to 36 weeks gestation, it seems to suggest that yawning and simple mouth opening have this maturational function early in gestation."

She added that yawning could be related to central nervous system maturation but further research involving mother and fetus would be required to examine this theory.

2012 NAR Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers - Chicago Agent ...

The home search process, as the 2012 Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers found, is increasingly conducted via the Internet; does that threaten real estate agents?

By Peter Ricci

Real estate has undergone a radical change in the last 15 years, but perhaps no area of the industry has changed more dramatically than that of how prospective homebuyers search for properties. What used to be exclusive information on the MLS is now largely public on sites such as Trulia, Realtor.com and Redfin, and homebuyers? use of that information has completely changed how real estate works?or has it? In our latest look at the?2012 Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers from the National Association of Realtors, we?re looking at the home search process, and what it says about today?s crop of prospective homebuyers.

Searching for Homes in the Technological Sphere

Unsurprisingly, the Internet was the dominant medium in the?Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers, with the majority of homebuyers utilizing it for a variety of tasks:

  • Ninety percent of homebuyers now use the Internet in their home searching (a slight increase from 2011), and for prospective homebuyers aged 44 or under, that number jumps to an incredible 96 percent.
  • The Internet dwarfs other forms of communication; compared to the 90 percent of buyers who use the Internet, just 53 percent use yard signs, 45 percent open houses and ? bad news for newspapers ? 27 percent review print or newspaper advertisements.
  • The ratios are similarly disjointed on how homebuyers first learn of the homes they purchased: 42 percent said the Internet, compared to 10 percent for yard signs or open houses; 6 percent from a friend, neighbor or relative; 5 percent from homebuilders; 2 percent from the seller; and a mortifying 1 percent from a print or newspaper ad.
  • In terms of what sites are visited the most, local metro MLS websites were the most popular, with 54 percent of homebuyers utilizing them, followed by: 51 percent for Realtor.com; 47 percent for real estate agent websites; 39 percent for company sites; 27 percent for syndication sites; and, in a definite sign of the times, 13 percent for mobile/tablet apps and 12 percent for mobile/tablet websites.

Agents and the Internet in the?Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers

So, where does all this leave agents? Thankfully, as widely-used a tool as the Internet is, it does not seem to have reduced the need for real estate agents among homebuyers. Though 90 percent used the Internet, 87 percent used a real estate agent, and though 42 percent learned of their property through the Web, 34 percent learned from an agent. And, most important of all, 91 percent of buyers who used the Internet ended up purchasing through an agent.

Elizabeth Jakatis, an agent with Prudential Rubloff in Lake Forest, said that it?s the ?inside scoop? of a property that real estate agents provide clients, the local expertise that an online listing simply can?t supplement.

?The Internet could show a cute picture of a home at a great price, but it won?t tell you specifics about the neighborhood,? Jakatis said. ?It could be located in an undesirable part of the neighborhood.?

    Holiday Home Sales Tips

    The holiday season can be an incredibly busy time of year. Families are traveling across town, state, and country to visit loved ones. Children are home from school, bringing with them vacation schedules.

    This can be a difficult time for many sellers. They must find a balance between family time, showings, and open houses.

    If you are finding this holiday season particularly problematic, then keep reading.

    Just as your time for showings is limited, so is the time potential buyers have for touring your home. This means that if you are serious about moving your home in this season?s market you must be willing to be flexible with your time. Making your home readily available may mean more showings or a faster sale.

    You must put the needs of your family and children first, of course, but there should be room for compromise. Consider allowing other family members to host large meals and functions to lighten the load on your home?s schedule this year.

    You can also plan fun activities for the whole family to participate in while your home is being shown. Take the kids to see the latest holiday movie. Go out for yogurt or ice cream. If the showing is during the evening hours you can take a tour of neighborhood lights!

    Also, do not let listing your home for sale deter you from celebrating the holidays this season. Feel free to maintain family traditions, but consider the effect your decorations will have on buyers. While you should feel free to have a tree and lights, it would be wise to keep everything tasteful and in moderation.

    You may come across the random buyer that hates the holidays, but most people are not offended by someone else?s beliefs. You?ll find buyers are tolerant of most everything ? except tacky overdone decorations!

    If you are unsure what constitutes tacky, then refer to popular home decor magazines for pictures and examples of what is acceptable.

    Selling a home is about about putting the best foot forward. So, in addition to making it available to buyers and decorating tastefully, it?s important to consider how your home will appear in wintertime photography.

    Great photography is key when posting pictures to the MLS. This is your home?s first impression, but the snow, ice, and dreariness of winter months can be a little boring.

    Take your time to stage the best pictures possible. Take advantage of sunny days glistening across snowy banks. Let the charm of your living room shine with a perfectly trimmed tree.

    Buyers also love to see how your home looks throughout the seasons. Talk to your Realtor about including pictures of your home when your yard is bursting with Springtime blooms or when your pool is full of sparkling blue water.

    The holidays can be a wonderful time for families, but with a few compromises you can also make a sale during this special time!
