Bioportfolio: Life-long persistence of erythrovirus DNA genomes in human tissue
The researchers at the University of Helsinki, Finland, and University Hospital of Bonn, Germany, have coined the novel term "Bioportfolio" to describe viral genomic material remaining in the human body after infection.   view more (2006-04-26)

Risk of gall bladder disease with HRT patches lower than with HRT pills
Use of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) increases the risk of gallbladder disease but the effects are less with HRT given in skin patches or gels compared with HRT given orally, according to a study published on BMJ.com today.    view more (2008-07-11)

Musical training might be good for the heart
Musical training might be good for the heart, suggests a small study, which shows that it is musical tempo, rather than style, that is the greatest stress buster.   view more (2005-09-29)

Invisible waves shape continental slope
A class of powerful, invisible waves hidden beneath the surface of the ocean can shape the underwater edges of continents and contribute to ocean mixing and climate, researchers from The University of Texas at Austin have found.   view more (2008-07-01)

Why is Greenland covered in ice?
There have been many reports in the media about the effects of global warming on the Greenland ice-sheet, but there is still great uncertainty as to why there is an ice-sheet there at all.   view more (2008-08-28)

New clues to air circulation in the atmosphere
Air circulates above the Earth in four distinct cells, with two either side of the equator, says new research out today (21 August) in Science.    view more (2008-08-22)

New Caledonia Lagoon: Sediment Transport Tracking And Prediction
Researchers have for several years now been using numerical modelling in the southwestern lagoon of New Caledonia to work out marine current circulation patterns and obtain detailed knowledge of its hydrodynamics. The lagoon has been subject to substantial sediment inputs generated by erosion and... view more (2003-09-24)

Study provides first-ever look at combined causes of North Atlantic and Arctic Ocean freshening
A new analysis of 50 years of changes in freshwater inputs to the Arctic Ocean and North Atlantic may help shed light on what's behind the recently observed freshening of the North Atlantic Ocean.   view more (2006-08-25)

Heart-Healthy Compound in Chocolate Identified
In a multifaceted study involving the Kuna Indians of Panama, an international team of scientists has pinpointed a chemical compound that is, in part, responsible, for the heart-healthy benefits of certain cocoas and some chocolate products.   view more (2006-01-20)

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... view more (2008-02-06)

A change in the wind
Climate model simulations for the 21st century indicate a robust increase in wind shear in the tropical Atlantic due to global warming, which may inhibit hurricane development and intensification.   view more (2007-04-18)

Ozone hole recovery may reshape southern hemisphere climate change
A full recovery of the stratospheric ozone hole could modify climate change in the Southern Hemisphere and even amplify Antarctic warming, according to scientists from the University of Colorado at Boulder, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and NASA.   view more (2008-04-25)

Successful treatment for acute heart failure remains elusive
In recent years, cardiologists have begun to view acute heart failure syndrome (AHFS) as a distinct condition, not merely a part of the chronic heart failure continuum.   view more (2005-12-21)

Statin therapy may lower mortality in heart failure patients
Cholesterol-lowering statin therapy may improve survival in patients with diastolic heart failure (DHF) according to a paper published in Circulation: Journal of the American Heart Association by cardiologists at Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center.   view more (2005-07-25)

Biologists Discover Why 10% Of Europeans Are Safe From HIV Infection
Biologists at the University of Liverpool have discovered how the plagues of the Middle Ages have made around 10% of Europeans resistant to HIV.   view more (2005-03-09)

Penn study identifies patients most at-risk for secondary strokes
Among patients who have suffered a single stroke, researchers at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, along with colleagues at other institutions, have found that severe stenosis, or narrowing, of the arteries in the head represents a major risk factor for the development of a... view more (2006-01-30)

The striking deep current reversal in the tropical Pacific Ocean
The ocean's immense heat storage capacity means that it has a dominant role in the regulation of heat exchange and of the Earth's climate. And it is the ocean's currents that drive thermal exchanges between ocean and atmosphere and contribute to climate balance.   view more (2006-11-14)

Blood stem cells fight invaders, study finds
No other stem cell is more thoroughly understood than the blood, or hematopoietic, stem cell.   view more (2007-11-30)

Gas from the past gives scientists new insights into climate and the oceans
In recent years, public discussion of climate change has included concerns that increased levels of carbon dioxide will contribute to global warming, which in turn may change the circulation in the earth's oceans, with potentially disastrous consequences.   view more (2008-10-06)

NCAR climate expert: Hurricanes to intensify as Earth warms
Warmer oceans, more moisture in the atmosphere, and other factors suggest that human-induced climate change will increase hurricane intensity and rainfall, according to climate expert Kevin Trenberth of the National Center for Atmospheric Research.   view more (2005-06-16)

Primate behavior explained by computer 'agents'
The complex behaviour of primates can be understood using artificially-intelligent computer 'agents' that mimic their actions, shows new research published in a special edition of Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B and presented at the BA Festival of Science in York.   view more (2007-09-11)

Study shows digitalis safe in patients with common form of heart failure
