Rapid movements of living biomolecules visualised
Dutch researcher Chris Molenaar has made the rapid movements of proteins, DNA and RNA molecules visible in living cells. With this technique researchers can study the dynamics of biomolecules in their natural environment. Molenaar developed a method which makes it possible to follow the movements of RNA molecules in living cells. The researcher... view more... (2003-06-24)

Stepfamilies and lone parents: Changing family life in Britain
More and more men are raising other men's children, while, in many cases, their own children grow up elsewhere - no fewer than 17% of dads born in 1970 are stepfathers, nearly double the number among men born just 12 years earlier. And six out of 100 babies born in Britain at the turn of the millennium have no contact with their fathers. These are... view more... (2004-06-18)
Colds flourish in damp homes
People living in damp homes are likely to have four or more colds a year, suggests a study in Thorax. Over 10 500 first year students in Finland responded to a questionnaire about living conditions and levels of asthma, allergy, and respiratory infections. Dampness was assessed by visible evidence of mould and water stains and/or water damage... view more... (2001-05-16)

Proximity To Landfill Sites Linked To Increased Risk Of Congenital Chromosomal Abnormalities (p 320)
New data from a 1998 study to assess the potential risks of chromosomal abnormalities of residents living near landfill sites is detailed in a research letter in this week's issue of THE LANCET. The findings suggest that the increased risk of chromosomal abnormalities is of a similar magnitude to the increased risk of non-chromosomal abnormalities... view more... (2002-01-23)
Technology can't replace doctors' judgment in reading mammograms
Radiologists should not become too dependent on the use of computer-assisted detection (CAD) technology when reading screening mammograms because the doctors can see lesions that CAD sometimes misses. view more (2006-12-05)
Smoking decreases men's chances of fatherhood by IVF and ICSI
Men who smoke reduce their chances of successfully fathering a child by either standard IVF techniques or by ICSI, according to research carried out in Germany. Dr Michael Zitzmann told the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology annual conference in Vienna that smoking altered the DNA of sperm and he believed this hampered the... view more...

Lower tacrolimus doses is suitable for living donor liver transplantation with small-for-size graft
Several studies have shown that living donor liver transplant (LDLT) recipients required smaller doses of tacrolimus compared with deceased donor liver transplant (DDLT) patients, which indicated that liver regeneration could affect the metabolism of tacrolimus in LDLT. view more (2009-08-27)
Low income smokers support smuggling to maintain habit
Low income smokers living in socially deprived areas view cigarette and tobacco smuggling as a positive way of dealing with the increasing costs of cigarettes, concludes a study in this week's BMJ. This suggests that they may show little support for tackling smuggling until more government action is taken to help them quit. Researchers at the... view more... (2001-07-25)

The unknown within us - ageing affects our gut flora
Ageing does not only affect the way we look from outside; the microbiota living in our gut also changes with age. The intestinal microbiota of infants is quite well identified, but only 8% of the microbes in elderly people can be characterised at the moment. We all carry inside us millions of mostly beneficial bacteria that help us manage our diet... view more... (2002-10-18)
