Soyuz rocket fails on launch from Plesetsk cosmodrome carrying ESA experiment payload
ESA PR 65-2002. A Russian Soyuz launcher exploded some 20 seconds after lift-off from the Russian Plesetsk cosmodrome last night, 15 October, at 20:20 CEST. The launcher was carrying the unmanned Foton M-1 research satellite, using capsules of the Foton/Bion family containing 44 experiments supported by ESA. The experiments (*) covered a wide... view more... (2002-10-16)
Early Detection of Osteoarthritis in Dogs Could Open Doors for a Cure
Osteoarthritis is commonly diagnosed in the late and irreversible stages, when treatment can only be expected to decrease pain and slow progression of disease. view more (2009-06-11)
First diagnostic indicator for Amytrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) identified
Claire Collier went to see her doctor shortly after she started experiencing cramping and other symptoms. This started a series of referrals and seemingly endless stream of tests. view more (2006-02-23)
Slick and Springy: Brown Research Reveals Protein's Role in Joints
Synovial fluid is slime with a serious purpose: Protecting shoulders, hips and other joints from wear, reducing the likelihood of injuries and arthritis. view more (2007-04-09)
Tiny bubbles a storehouse of knowledge
Fluid inclusions - tiny bubbles of fluid or vapor trapped inside rock as it forms - are clues to the location of ores and even petroleum; and they are time capsules that contain insights on the power of volcanoes and hints of life in the universe. view more (2005-10-13)
Caesarean sections associated with risk of asthma
Babies born by Caesarean section have a 50 % increased risk of developing asthma compared to babies born naturally. Emergency Caesarean sections increase the risk even further. view more (2008-06-19)
On chip separation: large molecules pass the speed camera first
What molecule or particle passes the finishline first? A good way to split a fluid sample into its separate parts is: organize a contest in a micro-channel. The largest parts will pass the optical detector first, the smaller ones follow at short distance. This principle of 'hydrodynamic chromatography' is now also possible on a chip. 'On-chip'... view more... (2002-12-10)
Rapid oral HIV test shows great promise according to MUHC-led research
A convenient, easy to use, and rapid alternative to blood-based HIV testing may become the new standard for field testing according to a new MUHC study. view more (2007-04-12)
Urate in blood and spinal fluid may predict slower decline in patients with Parkinson's disease
Higher concentration of urate (an antioxidant) in the blood and spinal fluid of patients with early Parkinson's disease is associated with slower rates of clinical decline. view more (2009-10-13)
Ceramides from sheeps wool similar to those of the human skin
The high concentration of ceramides extracted by means of supercritical fluid technology has provoked great interest in the pharmaceutical and cosmetics industries. Due to their composition, these ceramides increase the hydration of the skin and accelerate the repair of damaged skin tissue. view more (2005-04-26)
Micro microwave does pinpoint cooking for miniaturized labs
Researchers at the National Institute of Standards of Technology (NIST) and George Mason University have demonstrated what is probably the world's smallest microwave oven, a tiny mechanism that can heat a pinhead-sized drop of liquid inside a container slightly shorter than an ant and half as wide as a single hair. view more (2007-11-09)
Toronto researchers discover novel circulation in human eye, new glaucoma treatment target
Researchers at the University of Toronto, St. Michael's Hospital and Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre have discovered a previously unidentified form of circulation within the human eye which may provide important new insights into glaucoma, a leading cause of blindness. view more (2009-10-06)
Spinal fluid proteins signal Lou Gehrig's disease
High levels of certain proteins in the spinal fluid could signal the onset of Lou Gehrig's disease, according to researchers. The discovery of these biomarkers may lead to diagnostic kits for early diagnosis, accurately measuring the progression of the disease and monitoring the effects of treatment. view more (2009-01-29)

Researchers have identified several risk factors that are associated with the development of hearing loss in children with bacterial meningitis. view more (2006-09-19)
Fuel-saving designs improve efficiency of hydraulic systems
Researchers at Purdue University have shown how to reduce fuel consumption and dramatically improve the efficiency of hydraulic pumps and motors in heavy construction equipment. view more (2008-09-10)
Turbulence yields secrets to 73-year-old experiment
A simple but groundbreaking experiment performed more than 70 years ago finally has been explained by scientists at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. The solution sheds new light on fluid turbulence - the last major unsolved problem in classical physics. view more (2006-02-02)
Antibiotics do not appear helpful in preventing fluid buildup in children with ear infections
When prescribed to children with middle ear infections, antibiotics are not associated with a significant reduction in fluid buildup in the ear. view more (2008-02-19)

Lab-on-a-chip detects ammonia in human breath
A lab-on-a-chip that is sensitive enough to detect just a tiny ammount of ammonia in human breath has been developed by Björn Timmer of University of Twente in The Netherlands. Ammonia is an indicator for the development of a bacterial infection in the stomach. The tiny dimensions of this lab-on-a-chip have several advantages: it just needs a... view more... (2004-05-28)
Maternal deaths following cesarean delivery can be reduced
Maternal death rates have remained constant in the United States for many decades. Are there any improvements in health care that could reduce these rates further? view more (2008-08-04)
