Researchers perform multi-century high-resolution climate simulations
Using state-of-the-art supercomputers, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory climate scientists have performed a 400-year high-resolution global ocean-atmosphere simulation with results that are more similar to actual observations of surface winds and sea surface temperatures.   view more (2008-04-02)

Climate change signal detected in the Indian Ocean
The signature of climate change over the past 40 years has been identified in temperatures of the Indian Ocean near Australia.   view more (2007-05-31)

Proteins in urine predict brain damage in laboratory animals
The study dealt with the development and prevention of strokes in particular rats which had spontaneously developed extremely high blood pressure. Such a high blood pressure level leads within a few weeks to damage to the kidneys, heart and brain such that the rats die. The researchers found that... view more (1999-06-21)

Drug can quickly mobilize an army of cells to repair injury
To speed healing at sites of injury-such as heart muscle after a heart attack or brain tissue after a stroke-doctors would like to be able to hasten the formation of new blood vessels.   view more (2006-09-08)

Hypothermia Helps Cardiac Patients to Live Longer
Approximately 375,000 Europeans suffer cardiac arrest every year - often with fatal consequences. Even upon successful resuscitation, several patients suffer severe and irreparable brain damage. One in seven patients could be saved and the amount of serious damage resulting from cardiac arrest... view more (2002-04-08)

Duke scientists explain gaps in nutrient availability within North Atlantic
Duke University oceanographers have developed an explanation for why a vast North Atlantic circulation zone can have a large variability in nutrient supplies needed to sustain ocean plants and, by extension, support the food web of marine life.   view more (2005-09-29)

`Seek and destroy` vaccines for meningitis outdated
The ability of meningococci bacteria to change their cell surface proteins could reduce the effectiveness of the current meningitis C vaccine. Now scientists are working on vaccines that would allow us to co-exist happily with these microbes, according to research presented today (Monday 08 April... view more (2002-04-03)

AGU Journal European highlights - 30 October 2002
The following highlights summarize research papers in Geophysical Research Letters (GRL) and Paleoceanography (PA). The papers related to these Highlights will be printed in the next paper issues of the respective journals following their electronic publication.   view more (2002-10-30)

Why predicting the next influenza pandemic is difficult and how scientists can best prepare
In planning for a future influenza pandemic, most experts agree that two things are known for certain—there will be another pandemic someday, and nobody can predict when.   view more (2007-05-09)

New Studies Confirm Chest Compressions Alone are Life-saving for Cardiac Arrest
Two large-scale studies published in the Dec. 18 issue of the American Heart Association's medical journal, Circulation, report that the chances of surviving cardiac arrest are no better - and may be worse - when bystanders perform mouth-to-mouth breathing than if they press on the chest without... view more (2007-12-26)

Southern Ocean could slow global warming
The Southern Ocean may slow the rate of global warming by absorbing significantly more heat and carbon dioxide than previously thought, according to new research.   view more (2006-12-06)

Landmark study on diabetic foot infection published
Persons with diabetes who develop an infection are at a 55-fold greater risk for hospitalization, and an alarming 154-fold greater risk for amputation.   view more (2006-06-02)

North Atlantic warming tied to natural variability; but global warming may be at play elsewhere
A Duke University-led analysis of available records shows that while the North Atlantic Ocean's surface waters warmed in the 50 years between 1950 and 2000, the change was not uniform. In fact, the subpolar regions cooled at the same time that subtropical and tropical waters warmed.   view more (2008-01-04)

Impact of global warming on weather patterns underestimated
The impact of global warming on European weather patterns has been underestimated, according to a new report published in Nature this week.   view more (2005-09-22)

Silence may lead to phantom noises misinterpreted as tinnitus
Phantom noises, that mimic ringing in the ears associated with tinnitus, can be experienced by people with normal hearing in quiet situations.   view more (2008-01-02)

Small birth size linked to changes in the cardiovascular system that predispose to later disease
Researchers have found the first evidence that smaller size at birth is associated with specific alterations in the functioning of the heart and circulation in children and that these changes differ between boys and girls.   view more (2008-07-23)

PENTOXIFYLLINE BENEFICIAL FOR TREATING LEG ULCERS (p 1550)
Results of a systematic review in this week's issue of THE LANCET suggest that the drug pentoxifylline could be effective in the treatment of leg ulcers, either in addition to compression therapy, or as sole treatment when compression therapy is not effective. Venous leg ulcers are associated with... view more (2002-05-01)

Ozone and UV over Europe: no sign of improvement
"The occurrence of ozone mini-holes over Europe increases and any ozone layer recovery could only become measurable around 2010 at the earliest" concludes an assessment report, released today, on European research in the stratosphere. The report concerns loss of ozone, increases in... view more (2002-01-21)

GOCE Earth Explorer satellite to look at the Earth's surface and core
The European Space Agency is about to launch the most sophisticated mission ever to investigate the Earth's gravitational field and to map the reference shape of our planet - the geoid - with unprecedented resolution and accuracy.   view more (2008-08-25)

Ashwell receptor reduces mortality during sepsis
In research that solves the longest-standing mystery in glycobiology - a field that studies complex sugar chains called glycans - researchers at the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine have discovered that a molecule in the liver of all animals, called the Ashwell receptor, is... view more (2008-05-19)

Mock CPR
Staging mock cardiac and respiratory arrests - "code" situations in hospital parlance - easily expose common failures in rapid response with CPR and other life-saving care for children and also set up powerful incentives to sharpen emergency skills and move fast to use them, suggests a... view more (2008-02-11)

Not just humans benefit from animal biotechnology
Laboratory animals are the source of major discoveries and breakthroughs in biology, not just in tackling disease but also unravelling fundamental molecular processes. Delegates at a recent research conference organised by the European Science Foundation (ESF) and Wellcome Trust heard how... view more (2007-10-25)

New report presents strongest evidence yet of human link to global warming, Duke expert says
Evidence presented in the first phase of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's 4th Assessment Report, released today in Paris, paints the clearest picture yet that human-derived greenhouse gases are playing a significant role in observed global warming.   view more (2007-02-02)

Recipe for a storm: The ingredients for more powerful Atlantic hurricanes
