Marathon runners are famed for pasta packing in the days before a big run but when tiny passerine birds set out on their epic migrations, the distances are too great to cover on the energy reserves with which they embark. view more (2009-09-11)
Study finds HIV protease inhibitor drugs may adversely affect the scaffolding of the cell nucleus
UCLA scientists, along with collaborators from Purdue University, have demonstrated that HIV protease inhibitors - crucial drugs for HIV treatment - block a cellular enzyme important for generating the structural scaffolding for the cell nucleus. view more (2007-07-17)
Demystifying Irritable Bowel Syndrome (p 555)
A seminar in this week's issue of THE LANCET examines the history, epidemiology, and different treatment options for one of the most misunderstood medical complaints-irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Nicholas Talley from the University of Sydney, Australia, and Robin Spiller from Queens Medical Centre, Nottingham, UK, describe how IBS affects 10% of... view more... (2002-08-14)

Eye test causes severe lethargy in infants
New research suggests that an eyedrop used to diagnose a rare syndrome in infants can cause severe lethargy lasting up to 10 hours and requiring hospital admission and oxygen administration. view more (2007-07-17)
A new weapon in the fight against obesity and diabetes
A study appearing November 5 in the journal Cell Metabolism demonstrates that a synthetic new chemical entity protects against diet-induced obesity, improves glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity and enhances exercise endurance by enhancing fat utilization in certain target tissues. view more (2008-11-05)
Post-combat syndromes are not unique to the Gulf war
Post-combat syndromes are not unique to the Gulf war, but have arisen after all major wars over the past century, finds a study in this week's BMJ. Records for 1,856 British servicemen were randomly selected from war pension files. The research team identified three clusters of post-combat syndromes - a debility syndrome (related to the Boer war... view more... (2002-02-06)

Finding that could shed light on 'golden staph,' candida and allergies
Recent scientific findings explain why patients with a rare immunodeficiency disorder are unusually susceptible to certain common infections. By revealing the exact molecular mechanisms involved, they also give us clues as to why some 'healthy' people are more prone to these infections than others, and suggest potential treatments. view more (2008-07-01)
