HEALING TOUCH PARENTS-PKG

TO STAY ALIVE - AND THRIVE - PREMATURE BABIES IN THE NEO-NATAL INTENSIVE CARE UNIT MAY ENDURE AS MANY AS 14 PAINFUL MEDICAL PROCEDURES A DAY.

"A lot of those things require tape around the face, so there's a lot of negative experiences in and around the face."

MAKING IT IMPORTANT TO TEACH THESE BABIES ABOUT POSITIVE TOUCH.

"The first time I kangarooed I just cried."

KANGAROO CARE, AS IT'S CALLED, IS WHEN BABIES LIE ON MOM OR DAD'S CHEST FOR SKIN-TO-SKIN CONTACT.

JENNIFER MARKS KANGAROOS HER TWIN DAUGHTERS EMME AND SABRINA -- WHO WERE BORN 3 MONTHS PREMATURE.

"It stabilizes them and it makes them sleep better and I feel like it's a big benefit. It really helps them get them right back on track in case they have a little rough day."

SUCH CLOSENESS CAN HELP REGULATE BREATHING AND HEART RATES. AND EVEN HAVE AN ANALGESIC EFFECT.

"You know we have to give babies a shot of vitamin K right after they're born, and if you do this when a baby's in kangaroo care, they don't even flinch."

WHEN MOM AND DAD CAN'T BE THERE -- NICU NURSES ARE USING A LITTLE DEVICE CALLED THE ZAKY HAND.

"It's designed so that moms can sleep with the hand and then put it in the isolette or the crib with the baby in the NICU so that it has mom or dad's scent."

THE NURSES SAY BABIES WHO CUDDLE WITH THE HAND TEND TO SLEEP BETTER -- WHICH IS CRITICAL TO THEIR BRAIN DEVELOPMENT.

ILLUSTRATING THE POWER OF POSITIVE HUMAN TOUCH -- SISTERS EMME AND SABRINA DON'T NEED THE ARTIFICIAL HAND ANYMORE -- THEY HAVE EACH OTHER.

FIRST AT FOUR. IT'S ESTIMATED THAT AMERICANS WILL FILL ABOUT 60 MILLION PRESCRIPTIONS FOR SLEEPING PILLS.

A NEW STUDY SHOWS THAT EVEN TAKING SLEEPING AIDS ON OCCASION CAN INCREASE YOU CHANCES OF GETTING IN A CAR WRECK.

AMBIEN DRIVING-PKG

AMBIEN - AND IT'S GENERIC FORM "ZOLPIDEM" ARE AMONG THE MOST COMMONLY PRESCRIBED SLEEPING AIDS.

THE DRUG CAN STAY IN YOUR SYSTEM UP TO 12 HOURS.

MOST SIDE EFFECTS ARE MINOR.

BUT A LESS COMMON SIDE EFFECT KNOWN AS "COMPLEX SLEEP RELATED BEHAVIORS" ARE CAUSE FOR CONCERN:

"That's the sleep driving, the eating with out awareness -- and the sleep walking."

"I remember getting on the highway, and then I have no memory."

KERRY KENNEDY TOOK AMBIEN AND SIDE-SWIPED A TRUCK.

IT WAS ALSO IN THE SYSTEM OF HER COUSIN, FORMER CONGRESSMAN PATRICK KENNEDY WHEN HE CRASHED INTO A CONCRETE BARRIER IN 2006.

IN TEXAS, A WOMAN WHO MIXED AMBIEN AND ALCOHOL HAD NO MEMORY OF RUNNING OVER TWO YOUNG GIRLS AND THEIR MOTHER.

A SOUTHERN ILLINOIS MAN TOOK FOUR AMBIEN, JUST 12 HOURS BEFORE HE DROVE INTO A HIGHWAY CONSTRUCTION CREW, KILLING ONE MAN AND INJURING THREE OTHERS.

"It's actually just as bad as drinking and driving."

RESEARCHERS AT OHIO UNIVERSITY USE A DRIVING SIMULATOR TO STUDY AND HELP IMPROVE ROAD SAFETY.

THEY ALSO STUDY THE EFFECTS OF DROWSY DRIVING.

"This information is valuable simply because we are trying to reduce crashes and improve safety."

WE TRAVELED TO O-U RECENTLY, WHERE DOCTOR DEBORAH MCAVOY AND A TEAM OF GRADUATE RESEARCH ASSISTANTS CREATED A PROGRAM TO TEST THE DRIVING SKILLS OF SOMEONE UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF AMBIEN.

THAT "SOMEONE" WAS ME:

FIRST - I WENT THROUGH A FEW TRIALS TO GET USED TO THE FORD FOCUS. CAMERAS TRACK MY EYE MOVEMENT - AND THE COMPUTER RECORDS MY SPEED, AND HOW WELL I STAY IN MY LANE.

I EASILY PASS A FIELD SOBRIETY TEST -- AND NOW I'M READY TO TAKE MY PILL.

"I am taking approximately 5 mg."

THE DRUG'S DIRECTIONS ARE CLEAR: GO TO BED FOR AT LEAST 7 TO 8 HOURS.

AND DO NOT DRIVE UNTIL FULLY AWAY.

AMBIEN IS DESIGNED TO ACT QUICKLY - AND IT DOES:

"Five minutes and I am starting to feel dizzy."

AT 11:45 - I'M UP - BUT DEFINITELY UNSTEADY.

WE REPEAT THE SAME PROCESS - ONE HOUR AFTER TAKING THE AMBIEN.

I'M CLEARLY DISORIENTED.

BACK IN THE CAR, I DON'T REALIZE I'M SPEEDING, UNTIL THE SIMULATOR TELLS ME, NOT ONCE:

BUT TWICE!

"I was doing 80 IN A 30?"

"The two things I noticed were speed variance and the ability for her to stay in her lane. As the day progressed we saw those skills started to deteriorate."

DROWSY DRIVERS HAVE TROUBLE PERCEIVING HOW QUICKLY THEY ARE COMING UP ON ANOTHER VEHICLE -AND THIS IS A LEADING CAUSE OF CRASHES.

SOBERING NEWS FOR ME, BUT I WASN'T DONE.

3 HOURS AFTER TAKING AN AMBIEN: A WINTER DRIVING SCENARIO.

LISTEN TO WHAT NICK TELLS ME RIGHT BEFORE I START:

I BEGIN DRIVING BUT WITHIN 30 SECONDS:

I'VE LOST CONTROL AND SLAMMED - AT HIGH SPEED INTO A CONCRETE BARRIER.

REMEMBER - NICK TOLD ME THE SPEED LIMIT BEFORE I STARTED. ONE MINUTE LATER, I HAVE NO MEMORY OF OUR CONVERSATION:

FISCAL CLIFF LATEST-2 SHOT, VIDBOX RVL

THERE WERE MIXED FEELINGS ON CAPITOL HILL TO BEGIN THE NEW YEAR.

EARLY THIS MORNING, THE U-S SENATE OVERWHELMINGLY PASSED A BILL TO AVOID THE FISCAL CLIFF.

BUT THEY MISSED THE MIDNIGHT DEADLINE.

THE NEXT MOVE IS NOW IN THE HANDS OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.

THIS OUTLINES THE KEY POINTS OF THE BILL.

INSTEAD OF TAX INCREASES FOR EVERYONE.

HIGHER RATES WOULD HIT PEOPLE WHO MAKE MORE THAN 400-THOUSAND DOLLARS A YEAR.

THEY WILL ALSO PAY HIGHER RATES ON SAVINGS, INVESTMENTS AND LARGE INHERITANCES.

THE BILL ALSO DELAYS SPENDING CUTS - BUT ONLY FOR TWO MONTHS.

UNEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS WOULD ALSO BE EXTENDED FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE OUT OF A JOB 6 MONTHS OR LONGER.

FISCAL CLIFF LATEST-SOTVO

"Today, we have an option. We are confronted with a bill that we can vote for or vote against. We could allow us to go over the ceiling, or we can try to come together and pass something that probably on both sides of the aisle no one agrees with 100% of."

" It fails to reflect the balanced approach that was advocated by our president. So we find ourselves again with a bill that reflects not financial wisdom but the seductive spirit that pervades this town."

CLINTON HEALTH UPDATE-OC

DOCTORS SAY SECRETARY OF STATE HILLARY CLINTON IS ON THE MEND AND IN GOOD SPIRITS.

CLINTON RANG IN THE NEW YEAR IN A HOSPITAL AFTER SHE WAS DIAGNOSED WITH A BLOOD CLOT IN HER HEAD.

CLINTON HEALTH UPDATE-PKG

AFTER A DAY OF QUESTIONS ABOUT JUST WHERE HER BLOOD CLOT WAS LOCATED, SECRETARY OF STATE HILLARY CLINTON'S DOCTORS ISSUED A STATEMENT.

AN M-R-I SCAN, THEY SAID, REVEALED:

"A CLOT IN THE VEIN THAT IS SITUATED IN THE SPACE BETWEEN THE BRAIN AND THE SKULL. BEHIND THE RIGHT EAR."

SECRETARY CLINTON'S DOCTORS NOTED THAT THE CLOT, WHICH RESULTED FROM A CONCUSSION SHE SUFFERED WHEN SHE STRUCK HER HEAD DURING A SERIOUS BOUT WITH STOMACH FLU, "DID NOT RESULT IN A STROKE, OR NEUROLOGICAL DAMAGE."

THE SECRETARY'S MEDICAL TEAM HAS BEEN TREATING HER SINCE SUNDAY IN A NEW YORK HOSPITAL WITH BLOOD THINNERS TO DISSOLVE THAT CLOT.

ONCE THE MEDICATION DOSE HAS BEEN ESTABLISHED, THEY SAY, SHE WILL BE RELEASED.

DOCTOR DAVID DEATON, CHIEF OF VASCULAR SURGERY AT GEORGETOWN UNIVERSITY IN WASHINGTON, D-C, AN EXPERT WHO HAS NOT TREATED SECRETARY CLINTON, TELLS C-N-N'S WOLF BLITZER THERE IS SOME GOOD NEWS: THERE APPARENTLY IS NO BLEEDING INSIDE THE TISSUE OF THE BRAIN ITSELF.

"It would not affect her function. She can travel. It really just effects sort of heavy physical activity. Once your medication is regulated appropriately, you can go about all the normal activities of daily living."

AND SECRETARY CLINTON'S DOCTORS SAY, "IN ALL OTHER ASPECTS OF HER RECOVERY, THE SECRETARY IS MAKING EXCELLENT PROGRESS AND WE ARE CONFIDENT SHE WILL MAKE A FULL RECOVERY. SHE IS IN GOOD SPIRITS, ENGAGING WITH HER DOCTORS, HER FAMILY, AND HER STAFF."

CLINTON-- WHO'S FLOWN A MILLION MILES-- ALREADY HAD HER INTERNATIONAL TRAVEL ON HOLD AND IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE SHE'LL BE GOING ANYWHERE SOON.

THERE'S ALSO A QUESTION MARK ABOUT WHEN SHE'LL BE ABLE TO TESTIFY BEFORE CONGRESS ON THE TERRORIST ATTACK IN BENGHAZI. AND THE STATE DEPARTMENT'S SECURITY LAPSES.

"Absolutely essential that she'd testify."

SOME SENATORS SAY CLINTON HAS TO TESTIFY ON BENGHAZI -- BEFORE THEY HOLD CONFIRMATION HEARINGS FOR HER EXPECTED REPLACEMENT: SENATOR JOHN KERRY.

AND THAT COULD AFFECT THE TIMING OF HER DECISION TO RETIRE AT THE END OF PRESIDENT OBAMA'S CURRENT TERM.

SOCIAL ANXIETY-PKG

VENTURING OUT IN TO THE WORLD. INTERACTING WITH OTHERS. FOR MANY OF US THIS IS PART OF EVERY DAY LIFE.

BUT FOR ABOUT 12 PERCENT OF THE U-S POPULATION, INTERACTING SOCIALLY CAN BE TERRIFYING.

"The main concern is the fear of embarassing themselves, maybe looking foolish and a fear that other people will judge them negatively or reject them in some situations so it's really a fear of how they might be perceived by other people."

THIS GOES BEYOND BEING SHY.

SOCIAL ANXIETY IS A VERY REAL MENTAL HEALTH CONDITION WITH PHYSICAL AS WELL AS EMOTIONAL SYMPTOMS.

AND IT'S WHAT DR. KRISTY DALRYMPLE SPECIALIZES IN AND RESEARCHES.

SHE ADMITS WE ALL HAVE SOME SOCIAL FEARS. THAT'S NORMAL.

"The point where you know that it's a problem is when it's affecting areas of their life. so it's where it gets to the point where it's affecting your job, or affecting their school or affecting their ability to have meaningful relationships."

FOR THOSE WITH SOCIAL ANXIETY, COGNITIVE BEHAVIORAL THERAPY IS OFTEN THE FIRST LINE OF TREATMENT.

HEALTH MATTERS-ONCAM

JUDGING BY THE NUMBER OF PRODUCTS LABELED GLUTEN-FREE AND THE MONEY SPENT ON THEM, YOU'D THINK CELIAC DISEASE WAS AN EPIDEMIC.

WELL, MORE PEOPLE ARE BEING DIAGNOSED, IN PART BECAUSE IT'S EASIER THAN EVER BEFORE.

HEALTH MATTERS-PKG

A decade ago, virtually no one in the U.S. seemed to have a problem eating gluten. Now, millions OF PEOPLE do. INCLUDING RAY CYR.

RAY CYR/CELIAC PATIENT

RUNS:

:25 It goes back probably about 4 years ago and it was about a year long process before I actually got diagnosed correctly.

DR. MICHAEL BAYS/GASTROENTEROLOGIST

RUNS:

13:20 If you did genetic testing on everyone you would find that about one in every 2-hundred people has celiac disease. 13:07 If you look at, the extreme illness, probably about one in 8-thousand people.

Celiac disease is a digestive disorder caused by an abnormal immune response to gluten, WHICH IS a protein FOUND in wheat, rye and barley. The disease damages structures in the lining of the small intestine.

DR. MICHAEL BAYS/GASTROENTEROLOGIST

RUNS:

11: 36 When you ingest the wheat products and the small bowel becomes exposed to the wheat products, it becomes inflamed. The chronic inflammation causes the small bowel to thicken.

ULTIMATELY, CELIAC CAN interfere with the body's absorption of nutrients.

RAY CYR/CELIAC PATIENT

RUNS:

4:06 When I was first diagnosed I didn't go out anywhere because I couldn't confirm what I was eating was going to be safe for me.

AMY OSHIER/REPORTING

RUNS:

Americans are spending about 7-billion dollars a year on products labeled gluten-free. It made experts wonder if people were self-diagnosing. Now the days of guessing are gone since there's a definitive test.

DR. MICHAEL BAYS/GASTROENTEROLOGIST

RUNS:

17:14 They did biopsies in the small bowel in the early 50s, nowadays it's a blood test that is about 95% sensitive and that's why you've seen such a major increase.

Scientists BELIEVE there may be more celiac disease today because people eat more processed wheat products like pastas and baked goods. THE DISEASE ALSO RUNS ALONG FAMILY LINES.

DR. MICHAEL BAYS/GASTROENTEROLOGIST

RUNS:

13:30 If someone in your family has celiac disease you have about a one in 15 or one in 20 chance that you got it. It's easy to diagnose.
