When it comes to brain damage, blankets take the place of drugs
Have you ever covered yourself with a blanket to stave off the shivers? A new study shows that a blanket can also help alleviate shivering in patients who have been cooled to prevent brain damage. view more (2009-07-08)
UC San Diego Researchers' New Algorithm Significantly Boosts Routing Efficiency of Networks
A time-and-money-saving question shared by commuters in their cars and networks sharing ever-changing Internet resources is: "What's the best way to get from here to there?" view more (2008-08-19)
Magmatically triggered slow earthquake discovered at Kilauea Volcano, Hawaii
Kilauea experienced a new dike intrusion, where magma rapidly moved from a storage reservoir beneath the summit into the east rift zone and extended the rift zone by as much as 1 meter. view more (2008-08-29)
With 3 new reference materials, NIST gets the dirt on soil
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has issued three new certified reference materials for soil. Intended for use as controls in testing laboratories, the new Standard Reference Materials (SRMs)-gathered from the San Joaquin Valley in California and from sites near Butte and Helena in Montana-will aid in determining soil... view more...

UC San Diego researchers reverse pulmonary arterial hypertension in mouse models
Researchers at the University of California, San Diego, have identified a key protein that promotes the development of pulmonary arterial hypertension in humans and mice. view more (2009-10-26)
Radiofrequency energy technique as effective as tonsillectomy surgery
Radiofrequncy-tonsillotomy, which enables surgeons to reduce the size of the tonsillar tissue instead of removing the tonsils entirely, seems to be an effective and safe method of treating children with symptoms of enlarged tonsils. view more (2009-10-05)
One more step in assisted chlidbirth
The Assisted Childbirth Units at Quir'³n San Sebasti'¡n and Quir'³n Bilbao have achieved the first pregnancy in the Basque Autonomous Community and Navarre by means of the technique known as Preimplantational Genetic Diagnostic (PGD), the novelty of which lies in optimum selection of embryons by means of their genetic study prior to their... view more...

Notes, including ordering information for science writers ********** I. Highlight 7. New method investigates submicrometer particles Using a hygroscopicity... view more... (2001-09-21)
A new and safer technique in heart surgery
The new technique of SELECTIVE CEREBRAL PERFUSION has been successfully applied for the first time in the Basque Autonomous Community (B.A.C.). Surgeons keep a patient in a state of hibernation at 15 degrees centigrade, without brain activity and with heart circulation and respiratory activity at a standstill for one hour while an aorta implant is... view more...

Study demonstrates remarkable power of social norms
Most people want to be normal. So, when we are given information that underscores our deviancy, the natural impulse is to get ourselves as quickly as we can back toward the center. view more (2007-04-09)
Sea otter study reveals striking variability in diets and feeding strategies
Ecologists have long observed that when food becomes scarce, animal populations exploit a wider range of food sources. view more (2008-01-15)
Best settings for biphasic automated defibrillators investigated
As the use of automated external defibrillation (AED) devices outside of hospital settings increases, the scientific medical community has not agreed on the optimal energy levels for initial and subsequent biphasic shocks. view more (2006-05-18)
Discovery Brings New Type of Fast Computers Closer to Reality
Physicists at UC San Diego have successfully created speedy integrated circuits with particles called "excitons" that operate at commercially cold temperatures, bringing the possibility of a new type of extremely fast computer based on excitons closer to reality. view more (2009-09-28)
Photodynamic therapy effective for certain head and neck cancers
A combination of medications and a particular light therapy is effective at treating certain types of head and neck cancers in subtropical climates. view more (2009-10-05)
How the pathology of Parkinson's disease spreads
Accumulation of the synaptic protein alpha-synuclein, resulting in the formation of aggregates called Lewy bodies in the brain, is a hallmark of Parkinson's and other related neurodegenerative diseases. view more (2009-07-28)
Scientists find evidence that structural damage to the Alhambra is due to seismic activity
The Granada Basin, home to the Alhambra, is located in one of the most seismically active zones in the Iberian Peninsula. Historical evidence shows that the last major earthquake occurred there in 1431. New evidence indicates, however, that the topographical features of the area surrounding the Alhambra reflect recent and recurrent, though... view more... (2004-04-13)
How is that whale listening?
Researchers from San Diego State University and the University of California have been using computer models to mimic the effects of underwater noise on an unusual whale species and have discovered a new pathway for sound entering the head and ears. view more (2008-02-04)
Bent tectonics
More than 80 undersea volcanoes and a multitude of islands are dotted along the Hawaii-Emperor seamount chain like pearls on a necklace. A sharp bend in the middle is the only blemish. view more (2009-04-03)
New insights into neural tube defects
Environmental and genetic factors lead to neural tube defects in 1 in every 1,000 births and cause 1 in 20 of every spontaneous abortion. One cause of these defects is the failure of cells within the neural tube to migrate to the middle of the developing neural tube. view more (2006-01-12)
How cells change gears: New insights published in Nature Genetics
Bioinformatics researchers from UC San Diego just moved closer to unlocking the mystery of how human cells switch from "proliferation mode" to "specialization mode." This computational biology work from the Jacobs School of Engineering's bioengineering department could lead to new ideas for curbing unwanted cell... view more... (2009-04-21)
