Sepsis Could Be Underestimated In New-born Babies (p 1953)
UK authors of a research letter in this week's issue of THE LANCET suggest that the incidence of disease caused by group B streptococcal infection in babies is underestimated because the 'gold standard' methods for bacterial detection may result in falsely negative results. Around one in 1000... view more (2003-06-04)

New evidence shows Rituximab halts damage to joints
New data, presented today at the Annual European Congress of Rheumatology show for the first time that a rheumatoid arthritis (RA) treatment, rituximab, is able to significantly inhibit the structural damage to joints caused by RA in patients who have long-standing disease and an inadequate... view more (2006-06-23)

Modified ligament surgery improves outcomes for baseball pitchers, other athletes
In the largest study of its kind, surgeons at Hospital for Special Surgery have determined that by modifying a classic ligament surgery, they can return more athletes, such as baseball players, to their prior level of competition.   view more (2007-03-01)

Flexible nanoantenna arrays capture abundant solar energy
Researchers have devised an inexpensive way to produce plastic sheets containing billions of nanoantennas that collect heat energy generated by the sun and other sources. The technology, developed at the U.S. Department of Energy's Idaho National Laboratory, is the first step toward a solar energy... view more (2008-08-11)

OHSU Cancer Institute researchers find many stomach cancer patients are not gertting best therapy

Measuring electrical arcs at the micrometer scale
Air is a great insulator-except when it becomes a conductor. Under the right conditions, miniature lightning bolts of electricity will "arc" through the air between two electrically conducting points.   view more (2006-03-31)

Nanotechnology: not just for geeks
Say "nanotechnology," and geeks imagine iPhones, laptops and flash drives. But more than 60 percent of the 580 products in a newly updated inventory of nanotechnology consumer products are such "un-geeky" items as tennis racquets, clothing, and health products.   view more (2007-10-03)
