IVF Children At Increased Risk Of Neurological Disorders (pp 459, 461)
A Swedish study in this week's issue of THE LANCET suggests that children born after in-vitro fertilisation (IVF) could be at an increased risk of developing neurological problems, especially cerebral palsy. The authors conclude that a reduction in this risk is possible if only one embryo is transferred during IVF, reducing the likelihood of twin... view more... (2002-02-06)
Researchers test reliability of forensic DNA technology in fight against crime
Researchers from Barts and The London, Queen Mary`s School of Medicine and Dentistry are to team up with colleagues from universities in Germany, Spain and Denmark in a £1m European research collaboration to test DNA techniques used to solve crime. DNA is often used by forensic scientists to identify persons from physical evidence left... view more... (2002-07-26)
NASA spacecraft show three dimensional anatomy of a solar storm
Twin NASA spacecraft have provided scientists with their first view of the speed, trajectory, and three-dimensional shape of powerful explosions from the sun known as coronal mass ejections, or CMEs. view more (2009-04-15)
Yale researchers find key 'conductor' of nature's synchronicity
Synchronicity in nature is seen in beating hearts, the flashing of fireflies' lights, the ebb and flow of infectious disease-and the simultaneous rise and fall of populations across vast reaches of space. view more (2009-07-23)
Researchers use neuroimaging to study ESP
Psychologists at Harvard University have developed a new method to study extrasensory perception that, they argue, can resolve the century-old debate over its existence. According to the authors, their study not only illustrates a new method for studying such phenomena, but also provides the strongest evidence yet obtained against the existence of... view more...

Genetics a key factor in premature infants' devastating eye disease
Genetics play a major role in predisposing infants to retinopathy of prematurity (ROP), a disease prevalent in premature infants that disrupts normal blood vessel development of the retina and can lead to blindness. view more (2006-11-27)
Study links asthma and post-traumatic stress disorder
For the first time, a study has linked asthma with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) among adults in the community. The study of male twins who were veterans of the Vietnam era suggests that the association between asthma and PTSD is not primarily explained by common genetic influences. view more (2007-11-15)
Heredity plays big role in heart disease risk factors
Heredity plays a major role in determining the blood lipid profile and heart rate variability of blacks and whites, two major risk factors for coronary artery disease, researchers say. view more (2005-10-17)

Risk Of Hepatitis E From Consumption Of Deer? (p 371)
Japanese authors of a research letter in this week's issue of THE LANCET provide evidence that hepatitis E infection may be transmitted by consumption of Sika deer, a Japanese delicacy. Hepatitis E is rare in economically developed countries. An animal route (zoonosis) has been suggested for hepatitis E virus (HEV) infection, despite a lack of... view more... (2003-07-30)
Feinstein researchers develop new genetic method and identify novel genes for schizophrenia
Scientists at the Zucker Hillside Hospital campus of the Feinstein Institute for Medical Research have identified nine genetic markers that can increase a person's risk for schizophrenia. view more (2007-12-04)
Splitting Of White Light
Moscow scientists have managed to do simply and inexpensively something which normally proves complicated and expensive. The concept thought out and then implemented is a device which allows you to check the quality of ground and polished surfaces with unprecedented precision and rapidity and to detect every single defect of such surfaces. The... view more... (2004-04-23)
Antarctic ice shelf 'hangs by a thread'
British Antarctic Survey has captured dramatic satellite and video images of an Antarctic ice shelf that looks set to be the latest to break out from the Antarctic Peninsula. A large part of the Wilkins Ice Shelf on the Antarctic Peninsula is now supported only by a thin strip of ice hanging between two islands. It is another identifiable impact... view more...

NRL researchers develop optical technique for controlling electron spins in quantum dot ensembles
Scientists are closer to developing novel devices for optics-based quantum computing and quantum information processing, as a result of a breakthrough in understanding how to make all the spins in an ensemble of quantum dots identical. view more (2007-11-16)
European drive for post-genomic research European Commission awards EUR39.4 million to three large-scale projects
In a drive to gear up research on genomics - the study of genes and their function - the European Commission has awarded EUR 39.4 million to three large research projects. The funding is a prelude to the EUR2.2 billion earmarked for "genomics research for human health" in the next Community research programme to be launched later this... view more... (2002-03-18)
First case of successful ovarian tissue transplantation between two, nonidentical sisters
A woman, whose ovaries had failed due to damage caused by chemotherapy and radiotherapy, has received a successful ovarian transplant from her genetically non-identical sister. view more (2007-08-02)
Right-hand digits: study reveals new visual distortion effect
The amount of the discount may be less important than the numerical value of the farthest right digit, explains a new study from the Journal of Consumer Research. Keith S. Coulter (Clark University) and Robin A. Coulter (University of Connecticut) are the first to identify a visual distortion effect that may influence how consumers look at sale... view more...

UCLA researchers reprogram normal tissue cells into embryonic stem cells
Researchers at the Institute for Stem Cell Biology and Medicine at UCLA were able to take normal tissue cells and reprogram them into cells with the same unlimited properties as embryonic stem cells, the cells that are able to give rise to every cell type found in the body. view more (2007-06-07)
Genetic contributions to human brain morphology and intelligence
While showing an impressive growth prenatally, the human brain is not completed at birth. There is considerable brain growth during childhood with dynamic changes taking place in the human brain throughout life, probably for adaptation to our environments. view more (2007-10-17)
Link unraveled between chromosomal instability and centrosome defects in cancer cells
In a new study, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute scientists disprove a century-old theory about why cancer cells often have too many or too few chromosomes, and show that the actual reason may hold the key to a novel approach to cancer therapy. view more (2009-06-08)
