Scientists have just completed an unprecedented journey into the vast and little-explored "Great Pacific Ocean Garbage Patch." view more (2009-08-28)
A bright future for plastics -- robot 'skin,' flexible laptops and electric posters
With market analysts predicting a ten fold increase in the value of the organic light emitting display industry, from £1.5 billion to £15.5 billion, by 2014, it is no wonder that scientists and governments alike are keen to advance research into "plastic electronics". view more (2008-07-01)
Chemical engineers help develop ways to recycle waste plastic
Project supervisor Dr Don Glass explained: "Waste plastic, particularly packaging, is one of the curses of the industrial age. Ill-managed landfill sites are surrounded by large areas in which unsightly wind-blown polymer film is festooned on trees and fences." He added that current EU regulations mean 15% of waste plastic must be recycled, but... view more... (2000-01-20)
98 percent of elective mastectomy patients would have reconstruction again, says ASPS study
Women who have breast reconstruction after an elective mastectomy are satisfied with their decision, have low complication rates and 98 percent would do it again. view more (2008-07-08)
SUBSTANTIAL INCREASE IN DEATH RATE AFTER BYPASS SURGERY FOR PEOPLE WITH ANAEMIA (p 1749)
Anaemic patients undergoing coronary artery bypass surgery could have up to a five-fold increased risk of death in the days after surgery compared with patients who have normal haemoglobin concentrations, suggest authors of a research letter in this week's issue of THE LANCET. People with anaemia (individuals with a haemoglobin concentration of... view more... (2002-05-15)
Epilepsy Study Shows Memory Loss After Brain Surgery
Epilepsia, the official publication of the International League Against Epilepsy, recently published a one-year follow-up study that finds some post-surgical epilepsy patients have a significant decline in verbal memory. This type of memory loss is associated with learning, recall and recognition. view more (2004-10-12)
Breastfeeding study dispels sagging myth
Nursing mothers needn't worry. A new study shows that breastfeeding does not increase breast sagging. view more (2007-11-02)
New wood-plastic composites to boost industry, help use waste products
Wood science researchers in the College of Forestry at Oregon State University have developed new wood-plastic composites that are stronger and less expensive than any similar products now available - a major breakthrough for this growing industry. view more (2006-10-03)
Depression and anxiety improve after epilepsy surgery
Depression and anxiety are common problems for people whose epilepsy cannot be controlled by medication. A new study found that depression and anxiety improve significantly after epilepsy surgery. view more (2005-12-13)
Super Fast Moulding Process Attracts £450,000 For Product Launch
A new high speed injection moulding process that could transform the manufacture of plastic packaging has raised funding of £450,000 with the help of The Oxfordshire Investment Opportunity Network (OION), the UK's most successful business angel network, and Oxford Technology Venture Capital Trust. Developed by Im-Pak Technologies Ltd, the... view more... (2003-07-21)
Nerves controlling muscles are best repaired with similar nerves
When repairing severed or damaged motor nerves with a donor nerve graft, surgeons have traditionally used a sensory nerve from another area of the patient's body. However, these patients often do not fully regain function in the injured area. view more (2007-05-14)
Optical Solution Revives Hands Free Mobile Telephones
Hands free sets for mobile phones may be on the verge of a big comeback thanks to new research by the University of Warwick. Many people used hands free sets in an attempt to avoid what they perceived as a microwave radiation risk from holding a mobile phone close to one`s head. However when it was pointed out that the standard wire based hands... view more... (2002-09-02)
MU Engineers Develop Safer, Blast-Resistant Glass
To protect from potential terrorist attacks, federal buildings and other critical infrastructures are made with special windows that contain blast-resistant glass. However, the glass is thick and expensive. view more (2009-09-11)
Long waiting lists do not reflect a general failure of the NHS
Despite widespread political and media attention about long waiting lists, a study in this week's BMJ finds that in most instances, substantial numbers of patients waiting longer than six months for elective surgery are restricted to a small number of hospitals. Researchers at the University of Bristol examined the distribution of patients waiting... view more... (2003-01-22)

Catcher in the Rye
The development of sensors that can selectively fish a specific type of molecule out of a mixture is among the highest goals of many chemists. Vladimir M. Mirsky and his coworkers at the University of Regensburg have now come close to meeting this objective - with a clever coating for electrodes that recognizes molecules by their shape. To... view more... (1999-04-13)
No Evidence That Obese People Are At Higher Risk Of Complications After Surgery (pp 2001, 2032)
Results of a prospective study in this week's issue of THE LANCET suggest that excluding obese people from surgery because of fears about postoperative complications is unjustified. Despite a lack of convincing evidence, obese people are thought to be at a higher risk of complications after surgery than those who are not obese. Pierre-Alain... view more... (2003-06-11)
Nanoparticle technique could lead to improved semiconductors
Devices made from plastic semiconductors, like solar cells and light-emitting diodes (LEDs), could be improved based on information gained using a new nanoparticle technique developed at The University of Texas at Austin. view more (2007-08-07)
PREOPERATIVE RADIOTHERAPY IMPROVES OUTCOME IN RECTAL CANCER (PP 1285, 1291)
Preoperative radiotherapy reduces risk of local recurrence and death from rectal cancer, conclude authors of a systematic overview published in this week's issue of The Lancet. There are different opinions about when it is best to give radiotherapy for rectal cancer. In Scandinavia, the Netherlands, and some other European countries, radiotherapy... view more...

Botulinum toxin helps facial scars heal better, Mayo Clinic finds
Mayo Clinic researchers have found that treating a facial wound in the early healing phase with botulinum toxin (BOTOX®) improves the appearance of a scar later. The findings are published in the August issue of Mayo Clinic Proceedings. view more (2006-08-10)
