Researchers found an increased risk of coronary heart disease for people below the age of 60 who have more than four millimeters of alveolar bone loss (the bone that holds the teeth in the mouth) from periodontal disease. view more (2006-09-27)
New research explores newborn in-hospital weight loss
Healthy, full-term newborn babies tend to lose weight during the first few days after their birth. A groundbreaking new study published in the latest issue of the Journal of Human Lactation explores the reasons why certain newborns lose more (or less) than others and what conclusions can be drawn from the research. view more (2007-08-22)
Accelerating weight loss may signal development of Alzheimer's disease
The slow, steady weight loss associated with aging may speed up prior to the onset of Alzheimer's disease and related dementias. view more (2006-09-12)
Study links low-frequency hearing to shape of the cochlea
Shape matters, even in hearing. Specifically, it is the shape of the cochlea - the snail-shell-shaped organ in the inner ear that converts sound waves into nerve impulses that the brain deciphers - which proves to be surprisingly important. view more (2008-04-28)
Weight loss found to reduce cellulite in some overweight women
Weight loss may decrease the severity of cellulite for some women - but may worsen the condition for others, reports a study in August's Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery®, the official medical journal of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS). view more (2006-08-15)
Arthritis Drug Helps Debilitating Inflammatory Disease
For children and young adults who suffer from a rare and debilitating disorder called neonatal-onset multisystem inflammatory disease (NOMID), a drug called anakinra brings marked improvement both in symptoms and the inflammation underlying the disease, a new study shows. view more (2006-08-11)
Physics helps prevent hearing loss in whales
Pattern-recognition techniques developed by particle physicists are now being used to protect the hearing of sea mammals, reports the latest issue of the Institute of Physics' magazine Scientific Computing World. When oil companies survey sea areas for oil they send seismic pulses towards the seabed. These pulses are at volumes that are... view more... (1999-02-26)
Biodiversity and resilience of coral reefs
With over 3000 fish species, Indo-Pacific coral reefs represent one of the most diverse ecosystems on the globe. It is easy to assume that the loss of one or two species from these systems would have little impact. However, in an article in the April issue of Ecology Letters, Bellwood and colleagues document major changes in Indo-Pacific coral... view more... (2003-04-08)
Molecular motor works by detecting minute changes in force
Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine discovered that the activity of a specific family of nanometer-sized molecular motors called myosin-I is regulated by force. The motor puts tension on cellular springs that allow vibrations to be detected within the body. view more (2008-07-10)
Study Suggests Weight Fluctuation Does Not Increase the Risk of Death in Men
Weight loss and weight fluctuation, also known as weight cycling, does not appear to increase the risk of death in men, according to an article in the December issue of The Archives of Internal Medicine, one of the JAMA/Archives journals. The health consequences of being overweight or obese have been well-documented, and it is suggested that those... view more... (2002-12-06)

Habitat loss and reserve network selection
What is the minimum combination of areas needed to protect at least one population of every species in a region? - This is a problem commonly addressed when aiming at cost-effective reserve networks. However, because the stress on reserve cost, the properties of the reserve-network for species persistence are often overlooked, typically resulting... view more... (2003-07-02)
Secondhand smoke proves to be no 'joke' on oral health
A study published in this month's issue of the Journal of Periodontology found that subjects with periodontitis who were exposed to secondhand smoke were more likely to develop bone loss, the number one cause of tooth loss. view more (2007-04-04)
Warning over severe weight loss caused by chewing gum
In this week's BMJ, doctors warn of excess sorbitol intake, a widely used sweetener in "sugar-free" products such as chewing gum and sweets. view more (2008-01-11)
NIH researchers discover protein that appears to regulate bone mass loss, the cause of osteoporosis
An estimated ten million Americans suffer from osteoporosis, and another 34 million Americans are at risk of developing the disease, which is characterized by a severe loss of bone mineral density, fragile bones and an increased risk of hip, spine and wrist fractures. view more (2007-03-06)

Epilepsy Study Shows Memory Loss After Brain Surgery
Epilepsia, the official publication of the International League Against Epilepsy, recently published a one-year follow-up study that finds some post-surgical epilepsy patients have a significant decline in verbal memory. This type of memory loss is associated with learning, recall and recognition. view more (2004-10-12)
Weight loss surgery may be associated with bone loss
Weight loss surgery may be linked to deficiencies in calcium and vitamin D and bone loss, according to a new study accepted for publication in The Endocrine Society's Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism (JCEM). view more (2008-09-23)
