Higher level of certain fatty acid associated with lower dementia risk
Individuals who have higher levels of a fatty acid known as docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) in their blood may have a significantly lower risk of developing dementia and Alzheimer's disease. view more (2006-11-14)
Treating Acne: Two Different Peels Both Effective, SLU Study Finds
Chemical peels using either alpha-hydroxy acid or beta-hydroxy acid are both highly effective in treating mild to moderately severe facial acne, researchers at the Saint Louis University School of Medicine have found - the first study to compare the two different types of acid peels as therapies for the skin disorder. view more (2008-02-07)
Type 2 diabetics' acidity heightens risk for kidney stones
People with type 2 diabetes have highly acidic urine, a metabolic feature that explains their greater risk for developing uric-acid kidney stones. view more (2006-04-06)
Strategy Discovered for Fighting Persistent Bacterial Infections
Researchers at National Jewish Health have discovered a promising strategy for destroying the molecular scaffolding that can make Pseudomonas bacterial infections extremely difficult to treat in cystic fibrosis patients, wearers of contact lenses, and burn victims. Jerry Nick, MD, Associate Professor of Medicine at National Jewish Health, and his... view more... (2009-03-24)
Calcium and vitamin D may not be the only protection against bone loss
Diets that are high in protein and cereal grains produce an excess of acid in the body which may increase calcium excretion and weaken bones, according to a new study accepted for publication in The Endocrine Society's Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism (JCEM). view more (2008-12-03)
Scientists uncover how superbug Staph aureus resists our natural defenses
Researchers at the University of Washington have uncovered how the bacterium Staphylococcus aureus, including the notorious MRSA (methicillin-resistant Staph aureus) "superbug" strains, resists our body's natural defenses against infection. view more (2008-03-25)
Guggenheim Bilbao museum gleaming again
Originality and suitability of titanium sheets that cover the exterior of the building was highlighted, among other things, the day Guggenheim Bilbao museum was opened - October 1997. Titanium, apart from being spectacular, is a material that does not require special maintenance. It is a light material and has a great resistance against salt water... view more... (2001-07-10)
Yale undergrads' Amazon trip yields a treasure trove of diversity
A group of Yale undergraduates have discovered dozens of potentially beneficial bioactive microorganisms within plants they collected in the Amazon rain forest, including several so genetically distinct that they may be the first members of new taxonomical genera. view more (2008-08-25)
Holiday season could ring in 'heartburn season'

Obesity boosts gullet cancer risk 6-fold
Obese people are six times as likely to develop gullet (oesophageal) cancer as people of 'healthy' weight, shows research published ahead of print in the journal Gut. view more (2007-10-11)
Chemical signature of manic depression discovered by scientists
People with manic depression have a distinct chemical signature in their brains, according to a new study. The research, published today in the journal Molecular Psychiatry, may also indicate how the mood stabilisers used to treat the disorder counteract the changes in the brain that it appears to cause. view more (2008-02-06)
Photonic crystal biosensors detect protein-DNA interactions
Scientists at the University of Illinois have developed a new class of disposable, microplate-based optical biosensors capable of detecting protein-DNA interactions. Based on the properties of photonic crystals, the biosensors are suitable for the rapid identification of inhibitors of protein-nucleic acid and protein-protein interactions. view more (2008-09-24)
Columbia team finds that gastrin plays significant role in helicobacter-induced stomach cancer
A group led by Columbia University Medical Center's Timothy Wang, M.D., has studied the role of Helicobacter infection in the development of stomach cancer and found that the hormone gastrin, which stimulates secretion of gastric acid, plays a key role in the development of Helicobacter-induced stomach cancer, and may have distinct effects on... view more...
