Discovery sheds new light on cause of earthquakes
Research at the University of Liverpool into a large fault zone in the Atacama Desert in northern Chile has produced new insight into how fluid pressure can cause earthquakes. view more (2006-12-14)
Preterm birth risk quickly and accurately detected with proteomic profiling
By profiling specific proteins in amniotic fluid for inflammation, researchers at Yale School of Medicine can quickly and accurately detect potentially dangerous infections in pregnant women, and also predict the possibility of premature birth. view more (2006-02-03)
Scientists discover basic defect in cystic fibrosis airway glands
Scientists at Stanford University have determined that the buildup of sticky mucus found in cystic fibrosis is caused by a loss in the epithelial cell's ability to secrete fluid. view more (2006-03-20)
Telling axons where to go - and grow
In a recent study, Dr. Ingolf Bach and colleagues from the University of Massachusetts Medical School, Worcester and the University of Hamburg (Germany) describe a novel role for the ubiquitin/proteosome protein degradation pathway in the regulation of local actin dynamics in neurons. view more (2005-10-03)
'Virtual autopsy' helps identify drowning as cause of death
"Virtual autopsy" performed with multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) can aid forensics teams in determining if a person has drowned, according to a study published in the June issue of Radiology. view more (2007-05-29)
Floating lovers count too — in the health of eagle populations
In a paper from the November issue of The American Naturalist, Vincenzo Penteriani, FermÃn Otalora, and Miguel Ferrer, researchers at the Estación Biológica de Doñana (Consejo Superior de Investigaciones CientÃficas, Spain), focus on the forgotten and invisible side of animal populations-the floaters. Floaters are dispersed individuals who... view more... (2006-11-02)
Fluid displacement from legs to neck can lead to obstructive sleep apnea
When a person lies down, a small amount of fluid displaced from the legs to the base of the neck can narrow soft tissue around the throat and increase airflow resistance in the pharynx by more than 100 percent, predisposing the person to obstructive sleep apnea. view more (2006-12-18)
Argonne scientists reveal interaction between supersonic fuel spray and its shock wave
Shock waves are a well tested phenomenon on a large scale, but scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory and their collaborators from Wayne State University and Cornell University have made a breakthrough that reveals the interaction between shockwaves created by high-pressure supersonic fuel jets. view more (2009-03-13)
Cerebrospinal fluid shows Alzheimer's disease deterioration much earlier
It is possible to determine which patients run a high risk of developing Alzheimer's disease and the dementia associated with it, even in patients with minimal memory impairment. This has been shown by recent research at the Sahlgrenska Academy. view more (2009-06-18)
Scientists find potential stem cells in amniotic fluid - a new source?
Research by Austrian geneticists has raised the possibility that stem cells[1] could be isolated from amniotic fluid - the protective 'bath water' that surrounds the unborn baby. Geneticist Professor Markus Hengstschl'¤ger and his team at the University of Vienna have isolated a subgroup of cells from amniotic fluid that express a protein called... view more... (2003-06-27)
Prematurity more accurately predicted by advances in proteomic technology
Abnormal proteins in amniotic fluid that signal a higher risk of delivering prematurely are being detected with increasing accuracy by Yale School of Medicine researchers who presented their work in two abstracts at the Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine Conference February 8 in San Francisco. view more (2007-02-09)
Local interventions have little effect on metapopulation stability
Stabilizing fluctuations in the number of individuals in fragmented populations of threatened species is an important concern in conservation biology. view more (2007-02-21)
EARLY PROMISE OF NEW TECHNIQUE TO IDENTIFY BREAST CANCER
The analysis of breast-duct fluid, collected through ductal lavage (washing), could be a novel method for detecting breast-cancer cells when used in conjunction with mammography screening, conclude authors of a fast-track research letter in this week's issue of THE LANCET. If detected early, breast cancer is curable. Saraswati Sukumar and... view more... (2001-04-25)
How much should athletes drink during exercise?
Exercisers must be warned that the overconsumption of fluid (either water or sports drinks) before, during, or after exercise is unnecessary and can have a potentially fatal outcome, says a sports medicine expert in this week’s BMJ. view more (2003-07-16)
Carnegie Mellon develops computer model to study cell membrane dynamics
A cell constantly remodels its fluid membranes to carry out critical tasks, such as recognizing other cells, getting nutrients or sorting proteins. view more (2008-04-09)
Quantum mechanics predicts unusual lattice dynamics of vanadium metal under high pressure
A Swedish research team of Dr. Wei Luo & Professor Rajeev Ahuja and US team of Dr. Y. Ding & Prof. H.K. Mao have used theoretical calculations to understand a totally new type of high-pressure structural phase transition in Vanadium. view more (2007-10-12)
Mathematics and climate change
In 1994, University of Utah mathematician Ken Golden went to the Eastern Weddell Sea for the Antarctic Zone Flux Experiment. The sea's surface is normally covered with sea ice, the complex composite material that results when sea water is frozen. view more (2009-04-13)
Man-Made Climate Change
A new study published in this week's issue of Nature is the first to show that human activity is altering the circulation of the tropical atmosphere and ocean through global warming. view more (2006-05-04)
Cerebrospinal Fluid Restores Vision
A new method for visual impairment treatment has been discovered by researchers of the Institute of Human Brain, Russian Academy of Sciences. The patients suffering from visual impairment can be helped if a healthy donor's cerebrospinal fluid is introduced to the parent's vertebral canal - this method is called liquortransfusion. Physiologists... view more... (2004-11-01)
Breakthrough in Alzheimer's research
A combination of proteins in the cerebrospinal fluid can reliably identify which patients with early symptoms of dementia will subsequently develop full-blown Alzheimer's disease, a research team at the University of Gothenburg, Sweden, has found in a major international study. view more (2009-08-12)
