Are influenza vaccines worth the effort?
Each year enormous effort goes into producing influenza vaccines and delivering them to appropriate sections of the population. But a review of the evidence in this week's BMJ suggests that they may not be as effective as we think. view more (2006-10-27)
Studies link maternity leave with fewer C-sections and increased breastfeeding
Two new studies led by researchers at the University of California, Berkeley, suggest that taking maternity leave before and after the birth of a baby is a good investment in terms of health benefits for both mothers and newborns. view more (2009-01-05)

Post-term pregnancies risk infant's life and health, UCSF studies show
Infants born more than one week past their due dates have a higher risk of both impaired health and death, according to two new studies by authors from the University of California's San Francisco and Berkeley campuses. view more (2008-10-07)
Scientists Detect Melting of Antarctic Ice Shelf
A giant ice shelf the size of Scotland is melting rapidly in warm Antarctic waters, a report in SCIENCE will reveal today. Thinning of the Larsen Ice Shelf - vast sections of which collapsed catastrophically during the 1990's - was discovered by scientists at the University of Cambridge, University College London, University of Bristol and the... view more...

Researchers Find Synthetic Molecules That May Literally Be The Key To “Locking Away” Unwanted DNA
Research chemists have a found a class of synthetic molecules that could quite literally act as a key which could lock away sections of DNA into a closely wound coil preventing proteins from interacting with particular sections of DNA code. By locking up the DNA in this way scientists could stop particular sequences of DNA from activating... view more... (2002-04-15)

Urgent action needed to improve maternal care in Latin America
Unnecessary caesarean section is known to increase health risks for both mother and infant, while routine episiotomy has no benefit. Two studies in this week’s BMJ illustrate the gap between evidence and practice in maternal care.

Magnetic brain stimulation improves skill learning
The use of magnetic pulses to stimulate the dorsal premotor cortex (PMd) region of the brain results in an improved ability to learn a skilled motor task. view more (2009-07-07)
Software advance helps computers act logically
Computers just respond to commands, never "thinking" about the consequences. A new software language, however, promises to enable computers to reason much more precisely and thus better reflect subtleties intended by commands of human operators. view more (2005-06-17)
