New Non-Invasive Method In Lung Diagnostics
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as a non-invasive diagnostic method has been evolving into an attractive alternative to methods which are associated with radiation exposure. This development now also starts to manifest itself in lung perfusion imaging. This was reported by Dr. Christian Fink and... view more (2004-06-24)

More doubts over value of defibrillators
Use of defibrillators by police and fire fighters to emergency calls shows only a modest benefit, finds a study in this week's BMJ. A second study shows that public place defibrillators are not good value for money.   view more (2003-12-03)

MIT researchers find clues to planets' birth
Meteorites that are among the oldest rocks ever found have provided new clues about the conditions that existed at the beginning of the solar system, solving a longstanding mystery and overturning some accepted ideas about the way planets form.   view more (2008-10-31)

Common cold virus leads to death in lung transplant patients
Human rhinovirus (HRV), the leading cause of most common colds, struck two immunosuppressed lung transplant patients, leading to progressive respiratory failure, graft dysfunction and death.   view more (2006-12-18)

Study shows pine bark naturally decreases severe chronic venous insufficiency
Recent findings published in the journal of Clinical and Applied Thrombosis/Hematosis show a significant symptom reduction of chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) in patients after supplementing with Pycnogenol® (pic-noj-en-all), an antioxidant plant extract from the bark of the French maritime... view more (2006-07-13)

Greenland ice core analysis shows drastic climate change near end of last ice age
Information gleaned from a Greenland ice core by an international science team shows that two huge Northern Hemisphere temperature spikes prior to the close of the last ice age some 11,500 years ago were tied to fundamental shifts in atmospheric circulation.   view more (2008-06-20)

ESA and EADS-CASA sign contract to build instrument for the SMOS mission
A significant milestone in the development of ESA's Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity (SMOS) mission was reached last week when the contract to build the payload was signed between ESA and EADS (European Aeronautic Defence and Space Company)-CASA from Spain. The contract, worth 62 million euros,... view more (2004-06-17)

Implantable defibrillators save lives but may increase heart failure risk
Implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) reduce the risk of sudden cardiac death but may increase the risk of subsequent heart failure in patients who live longer, according to a study published in Circulation: Journal of the American Heart Association.   view more (2006-06-13)

Science paper examines role of aerosols in climate change
A group of scientists affiliated with the International Geosphere-Biosphere Programme (IGBP) have proposed a new framework to account more accurately for the effects of aerosols on precipitation in climate models.   view more (2008-09-08)

Global atmospheric carbon level may depend primarily on Southern Ocean
Circulation in the waters near the Antarctic coast may be one of the planet's critical means of regulating levels of carbon dioxide in the Earth's atmosphere, according to Princeton researchers.   view more (2006-06-23)

Equatorial Atlantic Ocean Currents:Tracer Distribution Gives The Picture
The ocean has an immense capacity for storing heat. It therefore plays a major regulatory role in the Earth's heat-exchange mechanisms and climatic processes. From the global viewpoint, oceanic circulation involves the transport of water masses between the two hemispheres. In the Atlantic basin, a... view more (2002-12-20)

Carnegie Mellon scientists develop nanogels that enable controlled delivery of carbohydrate drugs
Carnegie Mellon University scientists have developed tiny, spherical nanogels that uniformly release encapsulated carbohydrate-based drugs.   view more (2007-08-21)

Carbon turns over much faster through basal food-chain levels in aquatic than in terrestrial ecosystems
Global temperatures have increased dramatically over the past century, which is causing major impacts on climate patterns, ocean circulation and wildlife preservation. The increase in temperature is largely due to a rise of anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases, of which CO2 is one of the... view more (2004-02-25)

Inhaling helps heal liver transplant recipients
A new report from a team of researchers at the University of Washington, Seattle, and the University of Alabama at Birmingham indicates that one of the main complications of liver transplantation can be treated very simply by allowing the transplant recipients to inhale nitric oxide (NO) during the... view more (2007-08-24)

Higher Trans Fat Levels in Blood Associated With Elevated Risk of Heart Disease
High consumption of trans fat, found mainly in partially hydrogenated vegetable oils and widely used by the food industry, has been linked to an increased risk of coronary heart disease (CHD).   view more (2007-03-28)

First British Glacial Map to predict future climate change
An academic from the University of Sheffield has produced the first glacial map of Britain, which could allow us to better predict climate change in the future. The map is published in the latest edition of the journal Boreas.   view more (2004-11-23)

Potential diagnostic marker indicates effectiveness of anti-angiogenic drugs
If an anti-angiogenic drug is successfully starving a cancer patient's tumor to death, the number of endothelial cells circulating in the individual's bloodstream will decrease, thus providing a potential biomarker for gauging the medication's effectiveness.   view more (2006-09-18)

New findings show persistent El Ni√ħo-like conditions during past global warming
During the most recent period in Earth's past with a climate warmer than today, the tropical Pacific was in a stable state of El Ni√ħo-like conditions, according to a new study by researchers at the University of California, Santa Cruz.   view more (2005-06-24)

Popular Magazines Don't Inform Men About Prostate and Colon Cancer Screening
Decisions about screening for prostate and colon cancer require patients to have accurate, balanced information. Unfortunately, men are not getting this information from popular men's magazines. When articles are available, they often do not provide the information necessary for the reader to make... view more (2004-09-08)

Research finds evidence tropical cyclones have climate-control role
Purdue University researchers have found evidence that tropical cyclones and hurricanes play an important role in the ocean circulation patterns that transport heat and maintain the climate of North America and Europe.   view more (2007-06-01)

Nano-sized voltmeter measures electric fields deep within cells
A wireless, nano-scale voltmeter developed at the University of Michigan is overturning conventional wisdom about the physical environment inside cells. It may someday help researchers tackle such tricky medical issues as why cancer cells grow out of control and how damaged nerves might be mended.   view more (2007-12-03)

Study of the corrosive effects of water
As is known, corrosion is defined as the destruction of a material under chemical or electrochemical action by its surrounding environment. The reactions and transformations involved in this corrosion are due to the thermodynamic instability in the materials of which the surrounding environment is... view more (2004-06-10)
