Dust storms may carry bacteria to Japan from China
Bacteria found in soil around Tokyo are not indigenous to the area. A study published in the open access journal Saline Systems reveals a large proportion of salt-loving bacteria in non-saline soil around Tokyo. The researchers suggest that dust storms may have carried the bacteria from their... view more (2005-10-20)

Expedition discovers new sea current off African coast
Researchers on board the Pelagia, the research vessel belonging to the Netherlands Institute for Sea Research (NIOZ), have discovered an interesting rotational current in the sea off the coast of South Africa.

Saline nasal wash helps improve children's cold symptoms
A saline nasal wash solution made from processed seawater appears to improve nasal symptoms and may help prevent the recurrence of respiratory infections when used by children with the common cold, according to a report in the January issue of Archives of Otolaryngology, one of the JAMA/Archives... view more (2008-01-22)

The salt of life and genes
Mineral salts are essential for living organisms. To be precise, it is from these, living cells get their basic components, the ions. Common salt, for example, contains chloride and sodium ions which the cell uses to establish and maintain electrochemical balance with the environment. In order to... view more (2003-04-16)

Miracle leaves that may help protect against liver damage
Sea buckthorn (Hippophae rhamnoides) berries are well known for their cholesterol busting properties, but scientists in India say that its leaves are also rich in anti-oxidants and may help ward off liver disease, according to new research due to be published in the Society of Chemical Industry's... view more (2008-05-23)

HEPATITIS B INFECTION AT AN ALTERNATIVE THERAPY CENTRE
A study in this week's issue of THE LANCET emphasises the continuing risk of transmission of bloodborne viruses in health-care settings where skin-piercing procedures are used. In more developed countries, such as the USA and UK, the prevalence of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is low. George... view more (2000-07-26)

Opiate drugs increase vulnerability to stress
A new study has found that opiate drugs such as morphine leave animals more vulnerable to stress. This means that stress and opiates are in a vicious cycle: Not only does stress trigger drug use, but in return the drug leaves animals more vulnerable to stress.   view more (2005-08-29)

Carnegie Mellon study offers new clues about memory
