The turbidity of wine has an influence on the aroma of the ferment, but not on the accumulation of biogenic amines
The turbidity of red wine during its ageing in oak casks has an influence on the accumulation of volatile compounds and, thereby, on the wine's aroma, but not on the accumulation of biogenic amines. view more (2006-11-28)
In rare disease, a familiar protein disrupts gene function
An international team of scientists studying a rare genetic disease discovered that a bundle of proteins with the long-established function of keeping chromosomes together also plays an important role in regulating genes in humans. view more (2009-05-27)
Plastic and reconstructive surgery ... in brief
New web-based research has quantified the attractiveness of the female form. Using morphing software, German researchers manipulated the features of one woman into 243 variations with differing leg lengths, weights, bust sizes, and hip and waist widths. view more (2009-02-27)
Key to snoring and sleep disordered breathing may lie in neck muscle bulk
The reason why men tend to snore more and suffer more sleep disordered breathing (apnoea) than women, may lie in their neck muscles, finds research in Thorax. view more (1999-03-19)
Largest review of Loeys-Dietz Syndrome to date
People with Loeys-Dietz syndrome have wideset eyes, a cleft palate or split uvula (the tissue that hangs down in the back of the throat), and a convoluted arrangement of the body's blood vessels, in addition to aggressive swelling of the aorta. view more (2006-08-24)
Benefits from upper airway surgery for sleep apnea found to equal CPAP
Adults who struggle with CPAP treatment for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) should be considered candidates for reconstructive surgery on the upper airway, because it holds the same quality-of-life (QOL) benefits but with more permanence. view more (2009-08-03)
My, what big teeth you had! Extinct species had large teeth on roof of mouth
When the world's land was congealed in one supercontinent 240 million years ago, Antarctica wasn't the forbiddingly icy place it is now. But paleontologists have found a previously unknown amphibious predator species that probably still made it less than hospitable. view more (2008-09-12)
Lack of time on tummy shown to hinder achievement
The American Physical Therapy Association (APTA) is urging parents and caregivers to ensure that babies get enough "tummy time" throughout the day while they are awake and supervised, in light of a recent survey of therapists who say they've noticed an increase in motor delays in infants who spend too much time on their backs while awake. view more (2008-08-07)
Teens with deletion syndrome confirm gene's role in psychosis
Youth with this genetic chromosomal deletion syndrome already had a nearly 30-fold higher-than-normal risk of schizophrenia, but those who also had one of two common versions of the suspect gene had worse symptoms. view more (2005-10-24)
California vineyard uses high-tech chemistry to choose optimum picking time for grapes
A Modesto winemaker is using the latest 21st century analytical chemistry technology to supplement the time-honored practice of tasting a mouthful of grapes to determine when the fruit is ready for picking. view more (2006-09-11)
Improving the creaminess of ice-cream
A research team from CEIT and university staff from TECNUN (Escuela Superior de Ingenieros de la Universidad de Navarra, Basque Country), are investigating the optimum conditions for the crystallisation of ice at the time of its manufacture, with the aim of obtaining ice creams that have a better texture on contact with the palate. This research,... view more... (2003-07-30)
New developments in maxillofacial surgery
Bologna, October 19, 2000 New vanguard intervention techniques used by maxillofacial surgeons allow the reconstruction of entire parts of the face with very high quality functional and aesthetic results. The latest model of an instrument called endoral distractor allows the bone to grow according to one's needs by carrying... view more... (2000-10-19)

New study finds increased prevalence of left-handedness in children with facial development disorder
A new study by physician researchers from Hasbro Children's Hospital and Children's Hospital Boston has identified an increased prevalence in left-handedness in children with a congenital disorder known as hemifacial microsomia (HFM). view more (2009-03-03)
Causative gene for human "lobster claw" syndrome identified
A new study using mouse "knockouts" shows that genes that control limb formation in insects have similar functions in mammals. Split hand/foot malformation (SHFM) or ectrodactyly (the "lobster claw" anomaly), is a severe congenital malformation syndrome characterised by a profound median cleft of the hands and/or feet, typically associated with... view more...

Quintet of proteins forms new, early-warning blood test before heart attack strikes
A team of Johns Hopkins biochemists has identified a mixed bag of five key proteins out of thousands secreted into blood draining from the heart's blood vessels that may together or in certain quantities form the basis of a far more accurate early warning test than currently in use of impending heart attack in people with severely reduced blood... view more...

Surgery is an option for some patients hoping to get a good night's rest
According to research recently published by an Oregon Health & Science University scientist, a form of surgery called uvopalatopharyngoplasty is effective for treating certain patients who suffer from sleep apnea, one of the most common sleep disorders. view more (2009-10-09)
First study of children born after in vitro maturation indicates the technique is safe
Children born after female eggs were matured in the laboratory are healthy, according to the first survey of babies born using this technique. Since 1997 doctors at the Fertility Clinic in Herlev, Denmark, have been helping women to have babies using a technique called in vitro maturation. This involves taking immature oocytes (eggs) from the... view more... (2003-06-27)
