Toxic to aliens -- but key to health of planet
Scientists at the University of Leicester are using an ingredient found in common shampoos to investigate how the oxygen content of the oceans has changed over geologically recent time.   view more (2008-06-19)

Oxygen increase caused mammals to triumph, researchers say
The first, high resolution continuous record of oxygen concentration in the earth's atmosphere shows that a sharp rise in oxygen about 50 million years ago gave mammals the evolutionary boost they needed to dominate the planet.   view more (2005-09-30)

Steep oxygen decline halted first land colonization by Earth's sea creatures
Vertebrate creatures first began moving from the world's oceans to land about 415 million years ago, then all but disappeared by 360 million years ago.   view more (2006-10-24)

Bonn scientists discover new hemoglobin type
Scientists at the University of Bonn have discovered a new rare type of haemo-globin. Haemoglobin transports oxygen in the red blood corpuscles.   view more (2008-03-18)

No oxygen in Eastern Mediterranean bottom-water
Research from Utrecht University shows that there is an organic-rich bed of sediment in the floor of the Eastern Mediterranean. This bed formed over a period of about 4000 years under oxygen-free bottom-water conditions.   view more (2008-09-29)

Model gives clearer idea of how oxygen came to dominate Earth's atmosphere
A number of hypotheses have been used to explain how free oxygen first accumulated in Earth's atmosphere some 2.4 billion years ago, but a full understanding has proven elusive.   view more (2005-08-09)

Oxygen treatment for severe asthma could save lives
Asthmatic patients are still dying during severe attacks, yet making oxygen available in every general practice to treat patients with a life threatening asthma attack could save lives, concludes a study in this week's BMJ. The authors urge the British Thoracic Society to review this issue when it... view more (2001-07-11)

Oxygen Treatment - New guidelines for use inside and outside the home
Oxygen therapy has long been recognised as helping some patients with COPD live longer, and it is estimated that around 18,000 patients benefit from the treatment each year in the UK.   view more (1999-07-23)

Does playing violent video games increase aggression in teenagers?
Playing violent video games seems to increase hostility and anger in teenagers, but it may not be just related to whether the game contains violence. A study carried out by Anna Warm, whilst at the Department of Psychology, University of Central Lancashire, presented today Thursday 7 September at... view more (2000-08-25)

Should People With Diabetes Sleep With The Lights On?
A research letter in this week's issue of THE LANCET suggests that night-time illumination could help prevent the onset of diabetic retinopathy, a condition which can result in severe visual impairment in people with diabetes. People with diabetes generally have impaired blood capillary function,... view more (2002-06-26)

The beat goes on: a vertebrate heart that beats without oxygen
Scientists have discovered that the heart of a carp keeps beating when it is starved of oxygen for five days. "This is the first time that a vertebrate heart has been shown to survive such prolonged periods without oxygen and actually keep beating at the same rate as when oxygen is... view more (2004-04-02)

54 per cent of air passengers experience significant reductions in oxygen levels
More than half of air travellers find that their oxygen saturation drops to a level at which many hospital patients would be prescribed extra oxygen, according to a paper in the May issue of Anaesthesia.   view more (2005-04-25)

Cancer cells 'reprogram' energy needs to grow and spread, study suggests
Studying a rare inherited syndrome, researchers at Johns Hopkins have found that cancer cells can reprogram themselves to turn down their own energy-making machinery and use less oxygen, and that these changes might help cancer cells survive and spread.   view more (2007-05-08)

New reference materials support industrial zeolites
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has issued three new reference materials to support researchers studying the properties of commercially important zeolites.   view more (2006-09-18)

UK Shows the Way - Almost Half of eContent European Support Awarded Projects have UK Participation
The European Commission's DG Information Society has revealed that 42% of the projects supported under the second call of the EU eContent programme have UK participation. The list of UK organisations taking the lead include The Environment Agency, The British Tourist Authority, Greater London... view more (2003-08-06)

Bone mineral content continues to increase in obese adolescents during weight loss
Obese teenagers who succeeded in losing weight in a year-long medically supervised weight control program also saw their bone mineral content increase over that period, say researchers from The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. The finding was reassuring, because adolescence is a critical period... view more (2008-02-04)

Medical breakthrough for organ transplants and cardiovascular diseases by Flemish researchers
When a blood vessel clogs up, a localized deficiency of oxygen results, causing the surrounding tissue to die. However, working with mice, VIB scientists connected to the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven have been able to prevent muscular tissue with severe hypoxia from dying.   view more (2008-01-07)

Penn study finds hyperbaric oxygen treatments mobilize stem cells
According to a study to be published in the American Journal of Physiology-Heart and Circulation Physiology, a typical course of hyperbaric oxygen treatments increases by eight-fold the number of stem cells circulating in a patient's body.   view more (2005-12-29)

Computers explain why pears may become brown during commercial storage
Internal browning of pears stored under low oxygen conditions is related to restricted gas exchange inside the fruit, according to a study published March 7th in the open-access journal PLoS Computational Biology.   view more (2008-03-10)

Air Rather Than Oxygen For Babies Requiring Ventilation After Delivery (pp 1293, 1329)
Provision of air rather than 100% oxygen for babies requiring ventilation after delivery could reduce infant mortality, suggests a study in this week's issue of THE LANCET. The finding is counter to the long-held belief that 100% oxygen is better than air for babies requiring ventilation in the... view more (2004-10-06)

Microwaves offer fat chance to probe supermarket food
Microwaves used for zapping instant meals can also be used to determine the fat and salt content of supermarket food, according to research carried out at two Manchester universities.   view more (2007-09-20)

Familiarity Breeds Content
New technology and constant organisational changes may seem a headache but new research suggests that, given time and appropriate conditions, employees may accept change and even be happier after it than they were before. Research by Carolyn Axtell and colleagues from the ESRC Centre for... view more (2002-06-10)

Patients receiving supplemental oxygen during surgery have reduced risk of wound infection
Patients who received a higher concentration of supplemental oxygen during colorectal surgery had a significantly reduced risk of wound infection.   view more (2005-10-26)

Alligator egg development at prehistoric oxygen levels
The development of bone structures in alligator eggs raised under varying oxygen concentrations creates a link to fossil records of the evolution of vertebrates and prehistoric atmospheric oxygen concentrations, according to a paper to be presented at the Earth System Processes 2 meeting in... view more (2005-08-05)

Scavenger birds chew the fat
Humans aren't the only ones who like fatty foods - bearded vultures do, too. A study by Antoni Margalida from the Bearded Vulture Study and Protection Group in El Pont de Suert, Spain, has found that the bearded vulture will discard less energy-dense bones and choose only the bones containing the... view more (2008-09-09)
