New Evidence on How our Eyes use Light to Manage our Body Clock - University of Surrey Groundbreaking Study Results
A new study published this week shows for the first time that the human eye is sensitive to short wave length visible light and transmits information to the body clock in a way that may make it possible to manipulate waking and sleeping rhythms. This new data, gained from a study carried out at the University of Surrey, might enable this type of... view more... (2001-08-20)

Antibodies protect mice from developing respiratory tularemia
The respiratory form of tularemia, a potentially serious bacterial disease, is a significant public health concern because it is highly infectious, it has a high mortality rate if untreated, and it could be introduced into a population in an intentional act of bioterror. view more (2007-06-28)
Contamination from depleted uranium found in urine 20 years later
Inhaled depleted uranium (DU) oxide aerosols are recognised as a distinct human health hazard and DU has been suggested to be responsible in part for illness in both military and civilian populations that may have been exposed. view more (2007-10-24)

How does dioxin affect human health?
In an EU-funded project involving four partners , a study was made of 159 Austrian chemical workers who had been exposed to dioxin when producing herbicide between 1969 and 1973. Mortality and morbidity were analysed in 1996. All had exhibited chloracne, and analysis of related health-insurance data revealed 30 deaths, significant time off work... view more... (1999-11-10)

Seeing the damage helps prevent dangerous UV exposure
The best way to persuade people not to risk sun tan damage is to actually show them the current state of their skins, rather than simply describing it. This is the finding reported in a paper given by Dr Frederick Gibbons, of Iowa State University, USA, in a symposium on risk perception today, Tuesday 3 July, at the European Congress of... view more...
