Ben-Gurion U researchers -- bariatric surgery minimizes pregnancy complications for obese women
Women who undergo bariatric surgery to treat obesity will reduce the risk of medical and obstetric complications when they become pregnant, according to a study by researchers from Ben-Gurion University of the Negev's (BGU) Faculty of Health Sciences.   view more (2009-03-25)

Late preterm births present serious risks to newborns
More than half a million babies are born preterm in the United States each year, and preterm births are on the rise. Late preterm births, or births that occur between 34 and 36 weeks (approximately 4 to 6 weeks before the mother's due date), account for more than 70% of preterm births.   view more (2008-12-11)

Fetal surgeon shows for first time that laser procedure may treat vasa previa
A University of South Florida fetal surgeon at Tampa General Hospital successfully treated in utero a rare but potentially devastating condition in which placental blood vessels block the birth canal and can rupture during labor, leaving the baby without vital blood and oxygen. If undiagnosed, the condition known as vasa previa is frequently... view more... (2007-12-19)

Older Arctic sea ice replaced by young, thin ice, says CU-Boulder study
A new study by University of Colorado at Boulder researchers indicates older, multi-year sea ice in the Arctic is giving way to younger, thinner ice, making it more susceptible to record summer sea-ice lows like the one that occurred in 2007.   view more (2008-01-14)

A rigorous method for liver biopsy
Liver biopsy is still considered the gold standard for grading, staging and "stad-ging" the chronic liver disease. In addition, it remains a primary source for acquiring new knowledge on the liver pathology.   view more (2009-01-05)

Tiny molecule helps control blood-vessel development, researchers find
The development and repair of heart tissue and blood vessels is intimately tied to a tiny piece of ribonucleic acid (RNA) that is found nowhere else in the body, researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have found.   view more (2008-08-13)

Decision aid tool could cut the number of Caesarean sections by 4000 a year
A computerised decision analysis programme which helps women decide on the type of birth that is most appropriate for them could cut the number of caesarean sections performed in England and Wales by 4000 a year, according to a study published on bmj.com today.   view more (2007-06-01)

MIT develops lecture search engine to aid students
Imagine you are taking an introductory biology course. You're studying for an exam and realize it would be helpful to revisit the professor's explanation of RNA interference. Fortunately for you, a digital recording of the lecture is online, but the 10-minute explanation you want is buried in a 90-minute lecture you don't have time to watch.   view more (2007-11-15)

Levee modeling study to provide technical data for rebuilding New Orleans
To provide essential data for the rebuilding of the ravaged levees in New Orleans, engineers from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute will be studying small-scale models of sections of the flood-protection system.   view more (2006-02-22)

Logistics For The Superjumbo
The Airbus A380 will be the world's biggest passenger airplane and it is already a perfect example of global cooperation. The Fraunhofer IML has ensured that the Stade plant near Hamburg will benefit from an optimal material flow and logistics concept. 555 passengers on two decks will be able to travel for 14,800 kilometers non-stop in the Airbus... view more...

Rapid Prototyping for the Operating Theatre
Bonn, July 5, 2002. The technique is tried and tested, and what's more: it is also fast and cost-efficient. That is why manufacturers in the automotive industry and engineering have been using Rapid Prototyping for years to produce prototypes from three-dimensional datasets. The Bonn-based caesar research center has now found new and exciting... view more... (2002-07-15)

Duke-NIEHS team shows how DNA repairs may reshape the genome

Large DNA stretches, not single genes, shut off as cells mature
Experiments at Johns Hopkins have found that the gradual maturing of embryonic cells into cells as varied as brain, liver and immune system cells is apparently due to the shut off of several genes at once rather than in individual smatterings as previous studies have implied.   view more (2009-01-20)

Shedding some light on Parkinson's treatment

Older children draw less because they dislike the result
Although most primary school children enjoy drawing, and do it regularly, fewer adolescents and adults do so. Psychologists suggest that this is due in part to older children becoming less satisfied with their drawings. These are the findings of research presented by Dr. Richard Jolley at The British Psychological Society Developmental and... view more... (2001-08-31)
