Rhode Island Hospital study identifies high-risk patient populations for MRSA carriage
A Rhode Island Hospital study presented today at the Society for Healthcare Epidemiology of America (SHEA) annual meeting found that patients in long-term elder care and HIV-infected outpatients appear to be high-risk groups for carriage of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), a common cause for health care associated infections. view more (2007-04-17)
Laser used to help fight root canal bacteria: ADA Journal
High-tech dental lasers used mainly to prepare cavities for restoration now can help eliminate bacteria in root canals, according to research published in the July issue of The Journal of the American Dental Association (JADA). view more (2007-07-13)
Chemistry & Industry Issue 6 Cover Date 18 March 2002 - Functional Foods Special
NEWS Bayer reshuffles management (p4) Bayer`s plans to reassign top management responsibilities, as it prepares to re-invent itself as a strategic holding, have led to a second casualty.

Plasmonic Whispering Gallery Microcavity Paves the Way to Future Nanolasers
The principle behind whispering galleries - where words spoken softly beneath a domed ceiling or in a vault can be clearly heard on the opposite side of the chamber - has been used to achieve what could prove to be a significant breakthrough in the miniaturization of lasers. Ultrasmall lasers, i.e., nanoscale, promise a wide variety of intriguing... view more... (2009-01-26)

Accurate method for interpretation of heart images developed in Finland - Early detection of heart diseases
VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland has developed an internationally significant method for interpreting MRI images of the heart. Myocardial diseases are among the most common causes of death in Western countries. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the heart is the most accurate imaging method that assesses the function of the cardiac... view more... (2004-09-23)
Studies in animals suggest 2009 H1N1 virus may have biological advantage over seasonal influenza
Preliminary findings in ferrets suggest that the novel 2009 H1N1 influenza virus may outcompete human seasonal influenza viruses, researchers say. view more (2009-09-01)
Research synthesis shines light on several management options after fires in diverse ecosystems
No single decision-support system exists for selecting alternatives for postfire management. That thesis is what a recently released report on management after fire hinges upon. The publication, Effects of Timber Harvest Following Wildfire in Western North America, tells us that the type of forest landscape determines the ways fire and logging may... view more...

Genetically modified eggplants (aubergines) shown to be 30% more productive
Research, published in the online journal, BMC Biotechnology shows how researchers in Italy have used genetically modified eggplants made by the introduction of a gene that increases the level of the plant hormone indole acetic acid (IAA) to produce seedless fruits. Furthermore, these genetically modified eggplants are 30-35% more productive than... view more... (2002-04-26)
Xylitol reduces risk of cavities
The sugar substitute xylitol affects the bacterial composition of the oral cavity even in low doses. On the other hand, a relatively high intake is needed to counteract the production of acid between the teeth. view more (2007-02-16)
Tiny 'cages' could trap carbon dioxide and help stop climate change
A natural physical process has been identified that could play a key role in secure sub-seabed storage of carbon dioxide produced by fossil-fuelled power stations. view more (2006-03-17)
Modern humans, not Neandertals, may be evolution's 'odd man out'
Could it be that in the great evolutionary "family tree," it is we Modern Humans, not the brow-ridged, large-nosed Neandertals, who are the odd uncle out? view more (2006-09-11)
