Hiccups could play an important role in an infant s brain development, a new study suggests.
WASHINGTON - A study from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that the leading cause of sudden unexpected infant deaths (SUIDs) in the U.S. is an unsafe sleep environment which includes soft bedding like blankets, pillows and bumper pads despite repeated health messages about safe sleep practices.
The study, published Tuesday in the journal Pediatrics, aimed to better understand the causes of SUIDs. The term includes all unexpected infant deaths, such as those without a clear cause referred to as SIDS and those from a known cause, like suffocation.

Major internet outage hits customers across northeast US
By Kelly Hayes
A widespread internet outage was reported Tuesday, impacting many customers across the northeast U.S.
In an emailed statement 90 minutes after the outage was first reported, Verizon said it was working on the problem hurting Fios service throughout the Northeast corridor and that some service had already been restored.
Down Detector, a website that offers real-time status updates on outages, showed thousands of reports of issues with Verizon Fios service earlier Tuesday impacting both landline internet and mobile internet.
The telecom giant had reported a cut fiber in Brooklyn via Twitter, although it’s not clear if that issue was responsible for the entire outage. Verizon didn t give any estimate in its email about when the problem would be fixed and didn t reply to questions about what caused the problem.
