General public fails to recognise early signs of stroke
The general public does not find it easy to recognise the early symptoms of stroke because they vary so much, and this often results in delay in seeking medical attention, finds a study in this week’s BMJ. view more (2002-04-30)
Scientists at Low Temperature Laboratory planning to model a black hole
Academy Professor Matti Krusius and Antti Finne, M.Sc. (Eng.), were invited to a recent science breakfast, hosted by the Academy of Finland, to talk about their ongoing work to produce a first-ever laboratory simulation of a black hole. A black hole is created as a result of the most extreme concentration of matter. Scientists have been arguing... view more... (2003-04-16)
Patient expectations of care may exceed government targets
Patients may have expectations for access to primary care in excess of current government targets, finds a study in this week's BMJ. Patients also have high expectations of continuity of care. Researchers analysed data from general practice research studies and routine quality assessment activities undertaken by practices and primary care trusts.... view more... (2003-01-29)
Can longer consultations really save time and resources?
It has been argued that increasing the length of general practice consultations will save time and resources. Yet two letters in this week's BMJ suggest that longer consultations may lead to higher health service costs and might necessitate redeployment of pharmacists. Phil Wilson and colleagues carried out a pilot study with six general... view more... (2002-07-10)
Novel findings shed light on how N-type channel function is modified by lipids
The November 2009 issue of the Journal of General Physiology (JGP) contains two papers by the Rittenhouse laboratory that describe novel findings on how N-type voltage-gated calcium channel (VGCC) function is modified by lipids. view more (2009-10-26)
Reversing and accelerating the speed of light
Physicist Costas Soukoulis and his research group at the U.S. Department of Energy's Ames Laboratory on the Iowa State University campus are having the time of their lives making light travel backwards at negative speeds that appear faster than the speed of light. view more (2006-07-24)
XMM-Newton closes in on space`s exotic matter
ESA PR 69-2002. A fraction of a second after the Big Bang, all the primordial soup of matter in the Universe was `broken` into its most fundamental constituents. It was thought to have disappeared forever. However scientists strongly suspect that the exotic soup of dissolved matter can still be found in today`s Universe, in the core of certain... view more...

ESA and Eurocontrol sign cooperation agreement on using space technology for civil aviation
A five-year renewable Agreement for Cooperation was signed today in Brussels by the Director General of the European Space Agency (ESA), Antonio Rodot' , and the Director General of Eurocontrol, Victor M. Aguado. The Agreement establishes a general framework for cooperation and support between the two organisations regarding the use of space... view more... (2002-07-26)
New Director of Launchers named at ESA
Meeting at the Agency's headquarters in Paris, the ESA Council appointed Mr Antonio Fabrizi, an Italian, to the post of Director of Launchers, for a four-year term. Antonio Fabrizi, 55, graduated in Mechanical Engineering at « La Sapienza » University in Rome. From 1975 to 1989 he held several positions at BPD, including responsibility for... view more...

Depression care improved
German researchers from the Institutes for General Practice in Frankfurt / Main and Jena have achieved positive results from a sustainable intervention in the primary care practice (Annals of Internal Medicine, volume 151, number 6, Sep. 15, 2009). The view more (2009-09-17)
NASA finds direct proof of dark matter
Dark matter and normal matter have been wrenched apart by the tremendous collision of two large clusters of galaxies. The discovery, using NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory and other telescopes, gives direct evidence for the existence of dark matter. view more (2006-08-22)
Many asthmatic patients may have abnormal breathing patterns
Large numbers of asthmatic patients may have abnormal breathing patterns, finds a study in this week's BMJ, suggesting an important unrecognised diagnostic overlap between asthma and dysfunctional breathing. All adults receiving treatment for asthma in one general practice were surveyed to assess symptoms associated with abnormal breathing. About... view more... (2001-05-02)
Quantum physics pioneer honoured in Bristol
According to a current magazine advertisement, quantum physics is getting easier. It’s doubtful whether most of the population would agree with this. However, today (12 December) in Bristol, one of the pioneers of quantum physics, Noble prize-winner Paul Dirac, is being commemorated in two separate ceremonies. The first is in the Bishopston... view more... (2000-12-08)
Finding a Way to Test for Dark Energy
What is the mysterious dark energy that's causing the expansion of the universe to accelerate? view more (2005-08-30)
Monitoring deaths in general practice would help maintain public trust
Harold Shipman's murderous career led to demands that steps be taken to prevent any recurrence, but devising an acceptable and workable method of monitoring death rates in individual general practices is not straightforward. In this week's BMJ, researchers discuss the key issues in designing such a monitoring system. Except for a few local... view more... (2003-01-29)
Patients removed from GP lists feel victimised
Patients who are removed from a general practitioner's list feel threatened and see their removal as an attack on their right to be an NHS patient, finds a study in this week's BMJ. Researchers interviewed 28 patients who had been removed from their general practitioner's list. The interviews were often very emotionally charged, with patients... view more... (2003-06-12)
Should women be screened for domestic violence?
Over a third of women attending general practices have experienced physical violence, but doctors and nurses rarely ask about it. Researchers in this week's BMJ ask: Should women be screened for domestic violence when they visit their general practitioner? Is there a high risk group of women for whom screening might be more appropriate? Is... view more... (2002-01-30)
Viagra passes initial safety test, but more research is needed
A study in this week’s BMJ finds no evidence for a higher incidence of fatal heart attack or ischaemic heart disease among English men taking sildenafil (Viagra). Although reassuring, further evidence is needed to confirm these findings, report the authors. Users of sildenafil were identified from NHS prescriptions in England. Simple... view more...

No link between epilepsy and criminality
It has long been believed that people with epilepsy are particularly prone to violence and criminality, but a study in this week’s BMJ finds that epilepsy is no more common in prisoners than in the general population. view more (2002-06-19)
tTGA: Is it more essential in diagnosis of gluten sensitive enteropathy?
CD is a highly prevalent disease (1:100 to 1:300) which fulfils most of the criteria favoring mass screening. Despite this, screening for gluten sensitive enteropathy (GSE) is still controversial due to its dubious benefits and the acceptance of a gluten-free diet (GFD). view more (2009-03-24)
