A Possible Mechanism For Pre-eclampsia? (p 1511)
Results of a preliminary study in this week's issue of THE LANCET suggest that there may be future tests to determine whether pregnant women are at risk of developing pre-eclampsia, a serious disorder of late pregnancy. Up to 8% of pregnant women develop pre-eclampsia (pregnancy-induced high blood pressure and presence of protein in the urine,... view more... (2003-04-30)
UNH Scientists Continue To Fly High As NASA Unlocks The Puzzle Of Global Air Quality
The National Aeronautic and Space Administration's (NASA) DC-8 research aircraft is arguably the world's most sophisticated flying laboratory and scientists from the University of New Hampshire have been onboard the jet conducting one-of-a-kind science for the past two decades. view more (2006-04-28)

Pluronic surfactants are synthetic copolymers based on ethylene oxide and propylene oxide. view more (2009-07-08)
People are more suggestible under laughing gas
The pain-relieving effects of nitrous oxide - laughing gas - may be enhanced by suggestion or hypnosis, according to a new study by UCL (University College London). The study's findings - that people are more suggestible under the gas - mean that dental patients may benefit from being coached to relax while undergoing sedation. view more (2009-01-09)
Sleep Apnea Increases Heart Disease Risk
Obstructive sleep apnea, or periodic interruptions in breathing throughout the night, thickens sufferers' blood vessels. Moreover, it increases the risk of several forms of heart and vascular disease. view more (2009-05-05)
An invisible threat could change Britain's landscapes
People and farm animals are helping an invisible pollutant to change the types of plants that grow in Britain, particularly in remote and rural regions such as the Lake District. view more (2005-02-11)
Water and Nanoelectronics Will Mix to Create Ultra-Dense Memory Storage Devices, Researchers Say
Excessive moisture can typically wreak havoc on electronic devices, but now researchers have demonstrated that a little water can help create ultra-dense storage systems for computers and electronics. view more (2006-04-28)
Medical food reduces medical costs and use of anti-convulsant medication
Diabetic patients diagnosed with peripheral neuropathy had lower medical costs and reduced use of anticonvulsant medications when treated with a folate-enriched prescription medical food. view more (2009-10-27)
Large dose dexamethasone plays important roles in severe acute pancreatitis
Severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) is a fatal systemic disease featuring acute onset, serious conditions, high incidence of complications and 20 - 30% mortality, mainly due to multiple organ failure at its early stage. view more (2007-11-05)
Researchers think pink to produce 'green' solar energy
When it comes to producing earth-friendly solar energy, pink may be the new green, according to Ohio State University researchers. Scientists here have developed new dye-sensitized solar cells, that get their pink color from a mixture of red dye and white metal oxide powder in materials that capture light. view more (2007-07-31)
Mini heart attacks lessen damage from major ones
Researchers have discovered one potential mechanism by which briefly cutting off, then restoring, blood flow to arteries prior to a heart attack lessens the damage caused, according to a study published today in the journal Cardiovascular Research. view more (2008-12-02)
Satellite instrument helps tackle mysteries of ozone-eating clouds
Polar stratospheric clouds have become the focus of many research projects in recent years due to the discovery of their role in ozone depletion, but essential aspects of these clouds remain a mystery. view more (2006-04-11)
Statin treatment within first 24 hours after heart attack cut mortality by half
In the largest clinical study of its kind, UCLA researchers found that early treatment with a statin drug within 24 hours of having a heart attack reduced in-hospital mortality rates by over 50 percent. view more (2005-08-30)
Team IDs weakness in anthrax bacteria
MIT and New York University researchers have identified a weakness in the defenses of the anthrax bacterium that could be exploited to produce new antibiotics. view more (2008-01-25)
Chemists measure copper levels in zinc oxide nanowires
Chemists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have been the first to measure significant amounts of copper incorporated into zinc oxide (ZnO) nanowires during fabrication. view more (2008-02-20)
'Hot' oxygen atoms on titanium dioxide motivated by more than just temperature
Like two ballroom dancers waltzing together, the two atoms of an oxygen molecule severed by a metal catalyst usually behave identically. But new research reveals that on a particular catalyst, split oxygen atoms act like a couple dancing the tango: one oxygen atom plants itself while the other shimmies away, probably with energy partially stolen... view more...

Stem cell infusion and hyperbaric oxygen treatment improve islet function in diabetes
A study to determine if patients with type 2 diabetes can benefit from a combination of autologous (patient self-donated) stem cell infusions (ASC) and hyperbaric (above the normal air pressure of ) oxygen treatment (HBO) before and after ASC has found "significant benefits" in terms of "improvements in glycemic control" along... view more...

Methane-eating microbes can use iron and manganese oxides to 'breathe'
Iron and manganese compounds, in addition to sulfate, may play an important role in converting methane to carbon dioxide and eventually carbonates in the Earth's oceans, according to a team of researchers looking at anaerobic sediments. view more (2009-07-10)
Fiber-based nanotechnology in clothing could harvest energy from physical movement
Nanotechnology researchers are developing the perfect complement to the power tie: a "power shirt" able to generate electricity to power small electronic devices for soldiers in the field, hikers and others whose physical motion could be harnessed and converted to electrical energy. view more (2008-02-14)
Research shows a daily does of beetroot juice can beat high blood pressure
Researchers at Barts and The London School of Medicine have discovered that drinking just 500ml of beetroot juice a day can significantly reduce blood pressure. The study, published online today in the American Heart Association journal Hypertension, could have major implications for the treatment of cardiovascular disease. view more (2008-02-06)
