NIST announces first observation of 'persistent flow' in a gas
Using laser light to stir an ultracold gas of atoms, researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the Joint Quantum Institute (NIST/University of Maryland) have demonstrated the first "persistent" current in an ultracold atomic gas -a frictionless flow of... view more (2007-11-28)

Hebrew University Scientists Shed Lights On How Bacteria Persist Despite Antibiotics
Persistence pays off - for bacteria as well as people. Researchers at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and Rockefeller University in New York have demonstrated the constant presence of antibiotic-tolerant "persistent cells" within bacteria colonies and have shown, through mathematical... view more (2004-12-09)

ICS most effective for persistent asthma in children
While both inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) and leukotriene receptor antagonists (LTRA) have been proven to help control mild-to-moderate persistent asthma in school-age children, a new study shows ICS may be the more effective treatment.   view more (2006-01-11)

Mechanism Behind Stuttering Revealed (p 380)
Stuttering is caused by a structural abnormality in the left hemisphere of the brain, according to an article in this week's LANCET. Dr Martin Sommer and colleagues from the Universities of Hamburg and Göttingen in Germany report that persistent developmental stuttering results from a... view more (2002-07-31)

Whooping cough 'endemic' among UK school children
Nearly 40% of school age children in the United Kingdom who visit their family doctor with a persistent cough have evidence of whooping cough infection, even though they have been fully immunised.   view more (2006-07-07)

Alternative states in the ocean
Ecologists expect natural communities to vary. Occasionally, however, such variation can be severely abrupt and lead to formation of alternative and potentially persistent states. In the July issue of Ecology Letters, Paine and Trimble describe a dramatic assemblage shift on a rocky intertidal... view more (2004-05-13)

Psychological factors may predict outcome of treatment in functional gastrointestinal disorders
A new way of classifying psychological distress may have predictive value in functional gastrointestinal disorders. These are the conclusions of a study performed in Italy by Piero Porcelli and associates. The Diagnostic Criteria for Psychosomatic Research (DCPR) have been demonstrated to be... view more (2004-04-06)

Noisy jobs responsible for substantial burden of hearing problems in Britain
Noise at work is responsible for severe hearing difficulties in 153,000 men and 26,000 women in Great Britain, finds a study in Occupational and Environmental Medicine.   view more (2002-08-30)

Asthmatic children still not breathing easier, study says
Only 20 percent of children with persistent asthma have a level of control that is optimal, according to a survey-based study published today in the journal of Ambulatory Pediatrics.   view more (2007-03-15)

Researchers discover gut tissue to be a major reservoir harboring HIV
UCLA researchers have found the human gut to be a major reservoir harboring the HIV virus - holding almost twice as much as a person's blood.   view more (2006-08-28)

New Technique For Measuring Blood Flow To Brain In Babies (p 1749)
Authors of a research letter in this week's issue of THE LANCET describe how an ultrasound technique can be used as a non-invasive way of measuring blood flow to the brain in babies, which may be of benefit to infants with brain disorders arising from restrictions in cerebral blood flow. Changes... view more (2002-11-27)

Cocaine Use Related to Level of Education Achieved
The decreased use of cocaine in the United States over the last 20 years mostly occurred among the highly educated, while cocaine use among non-high school graduates remained constant, according to a study by researchers at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.   view more (2007-08-30)

An active way to boost traffic flow
A futuristic scheme is to be trialled on the M42 in Birmingham, using a combination of hi-tech traffic management systems, to help smooth traffic flow and reduce congestion. From summer 2004, a series of innovative tools will start to be integrated as part of the Active Traffic Management project.... view more (2003-12-01)

Study Highlights Need For Hepatitis C Vaccine (pp 1452, 1478)
A US study in this week's issue of THE LANCET highlights a high rate of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection among injection-drug users, and that immunity against persistent HCV infection can be acquired. The authors suggest that vaccines should be tested to reduce the burden of liver disease... view more (2002-04-24)

Simple test for asthma patients predicts length of hospital stay
Simple test for asthma patients predicts length of hospital stay (Peak expiratory flow sequence in acute exacerbations of asthma) BMJ Volume 322, p 1281 Measuring the change in a patient’s ability to blow three times in quick succession into a peak flow meter during an acute asthma attack... view more (2001-05-23)

Studies highlight little known, but potentially serious, manifestations of acid reflux
Many people may not realize that symptoms such as chronic cough or chest pain can be caused by acid reflux into the esophagus, because they do not experience classic heartburn symptoms or acid regurgitation.   view more (2007-10-15)

Monitoring of blood flow to the brain could prevent brain damage
University of Southampton engineers believe that monitoring blood flow to the brains of head injury patients could potentially reduce the incidence of brain damage and long-term disability, and are developing methods of using ultrasound to do this. With many years experience in studying the rise... view more (2003-04-30)

Endurance Athletes Could Benefit From Surgical Release Of Kinked Leg Arteries (p 466)
Flow restrictions in leg arteries of endurance athletes are commonly caused by kinking and could be easily resolved by a straightforward surgical procedure, conclude authors of a study in this week's issue of THE LANCET. Endurance athletes-especially cyclists and speed skaters-often have... view more (2002-02-06)

Late life depression associated with blood flow changes in the brain
Depression in later life seems to be associated with changes in blood flow velocity in the main arteries of the brain, shows research in the Journal of Neurology Neurosurgery and Psychiatry. Hardened and thickened arteries, which are more typical in later life, do not explain the findings.   view more (2002-06-25)

Combined imaging approach may provide better identification of difficult-to-diagnose brain clots
University of Cincinnati (UC) neuroradiologists believe a brain imaging approach that combines standard magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans with specialized contrast-enhanced techniques could lead to more effective diagnoses in patients with difficult-to-detect blood clots in veins of the brain.   view more (2007-04-09)

More pounds equals worse asthma?
A new study presented at the American Thoracic Society 2007 International Conference finds that obese people are significantly more likely to have persistent or severe persistent asthma than their thinner counterparts.   view more (2007-05-23)

Trying to control pain can be a double-edged sword, say scientists
Scientists have shown for the first time why a feeling of control helps us reduce pain. The research, carried out at the Wellcome Trust Centre for Neuroimaging at UCL, London, has implications for how patients with persistent pain can cope with what is often a debilitating condition.   view more (2006-11-01)

Inflammation markers identify fatigue in breast cancer survivors
Researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles have defined conditions associated with disabling fatigue that persists for years in almost a third of breast cancer survivors, according to a study in the May 1 issue of Clinical Cancer Research.   view more (2006-05-01)

Typhoid carriers: a Salmonella gene mutation?
Salmonella enterica causes approximately 16 million cases of typhoid fever worldwide, killing around 500,000 per year.
