The danger of blindness after ophthalmic surgery
Ophthalmologists inject gas into the eye mainly during the surgical treatment of retinal hemorrhages or injuries. The purpose of the gas is to help press the detached retina to the wall of the eye.   view more (2008-02-26)

Nitrous oxide from ocean microbes
A large amount of the greenhouse gas nitrous oxide is produced by bacteria in the oxygen poor parts of the ocean using nitrites, Dr Mark Trimmer told journalists at a Science Media Centre press briefing today.   view more (2007-12-11)

Too little attention is paid to the side effects of emission-limiting measures
With measures aimed at reducing the emission of pollutants such as ammonia, policy makers pay too little attention to the consequences for the emission of other substances. This is revealed in a computer model constructed by Corjan Brink from Wageningen University during his doctoral research. For... view more (2003-01-24)

LAUGHING GAS - A FASHIONABLE RECREATIONAL DRUG? (p 1347)
Issue 19 April 2003 Embargoed 0001 h (London time) 18 April 2003 New Zealand authors of a research letter in this week's issue of THE LANCET report how laughing gas may be a popular recreational drug among young people. This could have implications for public health, as a case report in THE... view more (2003-04-16)

No laughing matter -- bacteria are releasing a serious greenhouse gas
Unlike carbon dioxide and methane, laughing gas has been largely ignored by world leaders as a worrying greenhouse gas. But nitrous oxide must be taken more seriously.   view more (2008-03-31)

Nitrous Oxide Emissions Respond Differently to No-Till Depending on the Soil Type
The practice of no-till has increased considerably during the past 20 yr. The absence of tillage coupled with the accumulation of crop residues at the soil surface modifies several soil properties but also influence nitrogen dynamics.   view more (2008-10-23)

Nitrous oxide: definitely no laughing matter
Farmers, food suppliers, policy-makers, business leaders and environmentalists are joining forces to confront the threat of the 'forgotten greenhouse gas' by taking part in an influential new forum at the University of East Anglia (UEA).   view more (2008-02-19)

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)

Warning over nitric oxide for lung injury patients
Use of nitric oxide in patients with acute lung injury does not improve survival and may cause harm, warn researchers in a study published on bmj.com today.   view more (2007-03-23)

Atmosphere threatened by pollutants entering ocean, prof says
A large quantity of nitrogen compounds emitted into the atmosphere by humans through the burning of fossil fuels and the use of nitrogen fertilizers enters the oceans and may lead to the removal of some carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.   view more (2008-05-16)

Adapting agricultural practices to reduce the greenhouse effect
More than one-third of the greenhouse gases emitted into the atmosphere stem from agriculture and forestry. One of the current concerns is to find ways of managing agriculture differently in order to increase the level of carbon storage in soils and limit emission of gases that contribute to global... view more (2004-11-23)

Cow power could generate electricity for millions
Converting livestock manure into a domestic renewable fuel source could generate enough electricity to meet up to three per cent of North America's entire consumption needs and lead to a significant reduction in greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs), according to US research published today.   view more (2008-07-24)

Reducing side effects of painkillers
Cardiff University researchers have increased the understanding of why some painkillers increase the risk of heart attack and stroke.   view more (2006-09-13)

Hydrogen found to transmit magnetism
A team of chemists and physicists at the Universities of Liverpool and Oxford have shown that hydrogen transmits magnetism. This discovery could be the first step to a new class of magnetic materials, and opens up a new field of chemistry. The team, headed by Professor Matthew Rosseinsky of the... view more (2002-03-07)

Fat transforms vitamin C from 'good cop' into 'bad cop'
Fat in the stomach may cause vitamin C to promote, rather than prevent, the formation of certain cancer causing chemicals, reveals research published ahead of print in the journal Gut.   view more (2007-09-04)

'Grow your own electricity' says City University
A solid oxide fuel cell, placed in the domestic gas boiler, should generate electricity from the gas every time the boiler is activated. The electricity, if not used around the house, could then be sold back into the national grid - running the electricity meter backwards!   view more (1998-11-10)

Nitric oxide plays a vital role in the formation of long-term memory in snails
Snails can teach us a great deal about how we form memories, according to a group of neuroscientists at the University of Sussex. Research by Dr Ildik'³ Kemenes, Professor Paul Benjamin, Professor Michael O'Shea and colleagues shows that nitric oxide plays a vital role in the formation of long-term... view more (2002-02-18)

NITRIC OXIDE BENEFIT FOR INFANTS UNDERGOING CONGENITAL HEART SURGERY (p 1464)
The cardiovascular problems associated with surgery for congenital heart disease in infants may be reduced with the use of postoperative nitric oxide, according to research published in this week's issue of THE LANCET. Congenital heart disease is present in five to ten per 1000 livebirths. If... view more (2000-10-25)

New intestinal disease charted by Swedish researcher
Microscopic colitis is a newly discovered inflammatory intestinal disease that occurs in two different forms, lymphocytary colitis and collagenic colitis. Ã-rebro University, Sweden, is on the cutting edge of research on these diseases, and Martin Olesen is one of first scientists in the country... view more (2004-01-26)

Researchers uncover E. coli's defense mechanism
The pathogenic forms of E. coli and Salmonella are usually transmitted to humans through undercooked meat, unwashed vegetables and cross contamination from surfaces on which these foods were prepared.   view more (2005-09-29)

Opiates and cannaboids: the fight against pain
Opiates and cannaboids, apart from being drugs, have curative properties. Thus, opiates (morphine, methadone, etc.) have been used for some time as a pain-reducer and many cannaboids have also analgesic properties. Regarding their curative aspects, it is very important to know the effects produced... view more (2003-03-18)

Sildenafil prevents rebound pulmonary hypertension in infants
A single dose of sildenafil, a blood vessel widening vasodilator, prevented rebound pulmonary hypertension and significantly reduced the duration of mechanical ventilation in intensive care unit (ICU) infants being withdrawn from inhaled nitric oxide therapy.   view more (2006-11-01)

Research points to more effective catalyst materials for petrochemical industry
Nickel oxide is a very important chemical in modern industrial processes. It is commonly used as a catalyst within the petrochemical industry in areas like the synthesis of olefin gas and the reforming reaction of methane.   view more (2006-05-12)

Argonne scientists discover networks of metal nanoparticles are culprits in alloy corrosion
Oxide scales are supposed to protect alloys from extensive corrosion, but scientists at U.S. Department of Energy's Argonne National Laboratory have discovered metal nanoparticle chinks in this armor.   view more (2008-08-05)

Cerium oxide nanotubes get noticed
