Large earthquakes may broadcast warnings, but is anyone tuning in to listen?
Like geological ninjas, earthquakes can strike without warning. But there may be a way to detect the footfalls of large earthquakes before they strike, alerting their potential victims a week or more in advance. A Stanford professor thinks a method to provide just such warnings may have been buried in the scientific literature for over 40 years. view more (2007-12-13)

Constant dryness in the mouth, what is the solution?
Dryness in the mouth is not an agreeable sensation and much less so if the condition becomes an illness. Effectively, there are illnesses related to lack of saliva, as is the case of the sicca-sicca disease and the Goujerot-Sjögren syndrome. The research regarding these uncommon illnesses began to be important in 1976 when new functions of... view more... (2003-09-11)
