Invasive Management Could Offer Better Outcome For Elderly People With Coronary Artery Disease (pp 945, 951)
Elderly people with coronary artery disease could have a better prognosis and quality of life if they are given invasive rather than medical treatment, conclude authors of a fast-track study in this week's issue of THE LANCET. Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the most common cause of illness and... view more (2001-09-19)

Southampton scientists unravel 8,200-year-old climate riddle
Palaeoceanographers from the Southampton Oceanography Centre have shed new light on the world's climate behaviour over 8,200 years ago.

New studies on goat milk show it is more beneficial to health than cow milk
Research carried out at the Department of Physiology of the University of Granada has revealed that goat milk has more beneficial properties to health than cow milk. Among these properties it helps to prevent ferropenic anaemia (iron deficiency) and bone demineralisation (softening of the bones).   view more (2007-07-31)

Alzheimer's disease onset tied to lapses in attention, study suggests
People in early stages of Alzheimer's disease have greater difficulty shifting attention back and forth between competing sources of information, a finding that offers new support for theories that contend breakdowns in attention play an important role in the onset of the disease.   view more (2005-11-10)

Hanover Trade Fair 2003: The six-pack mixer
Flexible liquid distribution system for numbering-up in micro process engineering In theory it sounds simple - numbering-up provides more throughput: As many microreactors or micromixers are switched to parallel operation until the desired production performance is achieved. In practical working,... view more (2003-04-07)
