Pressured by predators, lizards see rapid shift in natural selection
Countering the widespread view of evolution as a process played out over the course of eons, evolutionary biologists have shown that natural selection can turn on a dime - within months - as a population's needs change. view more (2006-11-17)
Best antenatal screening: study results
A study of about 50,000 pregnant women has shown that the integrated test for Down's syndrome offers a "significantly higher" level of safety than the screening available to most women in the UK. The study, which will be reported in the June Journal of Medical Screening, was carried out by Professor Nicholas Wald and colleagues at the... view more... (2003-06-02)
Gene discovery may shed light on kidney disease
In a finding that may have broader implications for understanding kidney disorders, genetics researchers at The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia have identified a second gene that gives rise to Alagille syndrome, a genetic developmental disease that affects multiple organs. view more (2006-08-01)
Language support is important for children with autism
Teachers and parents must be vigilant in observing difficulties with language comprehension, reading and spelling in children and young people with autism, Asperger's syndrome and ADHD. view more (2009-11-10)

Researchers uncover mechanisms of common inherited mental retardation
Researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center are uncovering how brain cells are affected in Fragile X syndrome, the most common cause of inherited mental retardation and the most common genetic cause of autism. view more (2008-01-09)
Ancient birds flew on all-fours
The earliest known ancestor of modern-day birds took to the skies by gliding from trees using primitive feathered wings on their arms and legs, according to new research by a University of Calgary paleontologist. view more (2006-09-22)
Study uncovers mutation responsible for Noonan Syndrome
Scientists have discovered that mutations in a gene known as SOS1 account for many cases of Noonan syndrome (NS), a common childhood genetic disorder which occurs in one in 1,000-2,500 live births. view more (2006-12-05)
Post-abortion syndrome
Anti-abortion groups now characterise abortion as trauma, damaging two people: the foetus and the woman undergoing the procedure. The claim that abortion damages women psychologically and gives rise to a form of post-traumatic stress disorder is routinely made by anti-abortion groups and has become a standard component of their case against... view more...

Major risk factors identified for Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (p 185)
Results of European research in this week's issue of THE LANCET highlight how basic child-care strategies-such as preventing babies from sleeping face-down, using appropriate bedding, and discouraging bed-sharing with mothers who smoke-could reduce the risk of 'cot death' (sudden unexplained infant death syndrome [SIDS]). Four large studies were... view more... (2004-01-14)
Dietary fat intake linked to dry eye syndrome in women
More than eight million people in the United States, predominantly women, suffer from dry eye syndrome, a painful and debilitating eye disease. view more (2005-10-20)
Scientists identify fundamental brain defect, probable drug target in fragile X syndrome
Scientists have discovered how the gene mutation responsible for fragile X syndrome--the most common inherited form of mental retardation--alters the way brain cells communicate. view more (2007-09-18)

Stent-Grafts: A safe therapeutic option for patients with impending rupture of the chest aorta
IMPORTANT: This press release accompanies a poster or oral session given at the ESC Congress 2003. Written by the investigator himself/herself, this press release does not necessarily reflect the opinion of the European Society of Cardiology True aneurysms and dissecting aneurysms (see figure 1) of the chest aorta both represent life-threatening... view more...

Calcineurin helps newborns breathe easy
It is only very late in pregnancy that the lungs of the fetus complete their development so that the fetus will be able to breathe air when it is born. view more (2006-09-22)
Fragile X retardation syndrome corrected in mice
Researchers working with mice have significantly alleviated a wide range of abnormalities due to fragile X syndrome by altering only a single gene, countering the effects of the fragile X mutation. view more (2007-12-20)
Study suggests new way to screen infants for fetal alcohol syndrome
Children who have been diagnosed with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS) are more likely to have serious psychiatric and behavioral problems later in life, including a higher risk for dropping out of school, unemployment, and criminal behavior. view more (2008-03-06)
Better potential protection for footballers' ankles following UK research
Basic changes to the design of shin-guards could provide footballers with more protection for their ankles. With players being transferred for millions of pounds, and earning tens of thousands of pounds a week, they represent a huge investment for the clubs - and the players' most important assets are, of course, their legs. Now, Materials... view more... (2002-09-19)
