'Tornadoes' are transferred from light to sodium atoms
For the first time, tornado-like rotational motions have been transferred from light to atoms in a controlled way at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). view more (2006-11-10)
Sodium loses its luster: A liquid metal that's not really metallic
When melting sodium at high pressures, the material goes through a transition in which its electrical conductivity drops threefold. view more (2007-09-27)
In tiny supercooled clouds, physicists exchange light and matter
Physicists have for the first time stopped and extinguished a light pulse in one part of space and then revived it in a completely separate location. view more (2007-02-08)
Canadians finding it tough to shake the salt habit
Canadians know that too much salt isn't good for their diets, but half still continue to shake it on, according to a new study by University of Alberta researchers. view more (2009-11-18)
Opening a channel for salt retention
A research team has developed the first small molecule that can reversibly activate a key protein involved in balancing sodium levels, paving the way for drugs that can treat low blood pressure and related conditions. view more (2008-04-28)
Scientist proposes explanation for puzzling property of night-shining clouds at the edge of space
An explanation for a strange property of noctilucent clouds--thin, wispy clouds hovering at the edge of space at 85 km altitude--has been proposed by an experimental plasma physicist at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech), possibly laying to rest a decades-long mystery. view more (2008-09-26)
COLONOSCOPY DANGER? (p 282)
Physicians should monitor blood sodium concentrations in patients developing long-term psychological or neurological symptoms after colonoscopy, report the authors of a research letter published in this week's issue of THE LANCET. After observing an unusual case of colonoscopy-induced hyponatraemic encephalopathy (degenerative brain disease caused... view more... (2001-01-24)
High in sodium: Highly charged tungsten ions may diagnose fusion energy reactors
Just as health-food manufacturers work on developing the best possible sodium substitutes for low-salt diets, physicists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have acquired new knowledge on a promising sodium alternative of their own. view more (2009-09-10)
Low-sodium advice for asthmatics should be taken with a pinch of salt
Following a low-sodium diet does not appear to have any appreciable impact on asthma control, according to new research. view more (2008-07-16)
Combination treatment for migraine more effective than single medications
Combining two different types of treatment for migraine results in better symptom relief than taking either one of the medications, according to a study in the April 4 issue of JAMA. view more (2007-04-04)
Sodium bicarbonate reduces incidence of contrast-induced nephropathy
A meta-analysis of 17 randomised controlled trials has shown that pre-procedural treatment with sodium bicarbonate based hydration is the optimal treatment strategy to prevent contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN). view more (2009-05-13)
Protein's potential as a regulator of brain activity discovered
UC Irvine researchers have found that a protein best known for building connections between nerve cells and muscle also plays a role in controlling brain cell activity. view more (2006-04-21)
The anti-diabetic effects of sodium tungstate revealed
The molecular mechanisms of tungstate activity in diabetes have been uncovered. Researchers writing in the open access journal BMC Genomics have identified the pathways through which sodium tungstate improves pancreatic function and beta cell proliferation. view more (2009-08-28)
Understanding and diagnosing an inherited pain syndrome
Yale School of Medicine researchers report the first demonstration that a single mutation in a human sodium channel gene can trigger pain in people with an inherited pain syndrome known as primary erythromelalgia, according to a study published this month in the journal Brain. view more (2005-07-14)
Sodium hydration therapies equally effective
In patients undergoing cardiac catheterization, contrast dye injection can sometimes cause contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN), otherwise known as acute renal failure. view more (2007-03-27)
Adding simehicone to sodium phosphate bowel preparation benefits colonscopy?
Bowel preparation has been reported inadequate in 10%-75% of colonoscopic examinations. view more (2009-07-08)
Anti-epilepsy drug risk on cognitive function for unborn children
Interim results of a study being conducted by scientists at the University of Liverpool suggest that children aged three years and younger, who are born to women taking the anti-epileptic drug sodium valproate whilst pregnant, are likely to have an IQ of six to nine points lower than average. view more (2009-07-22)
American Physiological Society
A new study concludes that low birthweight babies born with low sodium (salt) in their blood serum will likely consume large quantities of dietary sodium later in life. view more (2007-01-19)
Serum sodium predicts mortality 10 times higher in PAH patients
Patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH)-chronically high blood pressure in the blood vessels of the lungs-whose serum sodium levels are low (called hyponatremia, or HN) have a very poor chance of survival and a high rate of right-heart failure (RHF), according to new research from the University of Pennsylvania. view more (2008-06-13)
Super atoms turn the periodic table upside down
Researchers at Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) in The Netherlands have developed a technique for generating atom clusters made from silver and other metals. Surprisingly enough, these so-called super atoms (clusters of 13 silver atoms, for example) behave in the same way as individual atoms and have opened up a whole new branch of... view more...
