My bad! Why we feel guilt in the first place
Guilt plays a vital role in the regulation of social behavior. That worried feeling in our gut often serves as the impetus for our stab at redemption. However, psychologists have trouble agreeing on the function of this complex emotion.   view more (2007-07-25)

Safety belts in police cars may be life threatening
Two new tests by VTI (Swedish National Road and Transport Research Institute) have investigated traffic safety for police in their cars. The hypothesis that the personal equipment or the uniform might affect the function of the seat belt in a collision was put to test. The study points out that an... view more (2005-05-16)

All species are not created equal when assessing the impacts of species loss on ecosystems
Numerous studies have shown that when species are randomly lost from communities, ecosystem function declines. But such patterns of species loss do not reflect those in natural communities where major drivers of change, such as stress and disturbance, cause preferential loss of rare and uncommon... view more (2003-05-22)

Study finds stool testing novel technique for detecting colon cancer
Researchers at Mount Sinai School of Medicine have found that an improved version of the non-invasive fecal DNA (fDNA) test to screen for colon cancer (CRC) demonstrates a higher sensitivity for detecting cancers of the colon.   view more (2006-05-22)

EMC emission and immunity testing enhanced with NPL's new good practice guide on GTEM cells
Experts from the National Physical Laboratory (NPL) and York EMC Services Ltd. (YES) have jointly produced a guide on good practice techniques for EMC testing in GTEM cells. The use of GTEM cells as an EMC test environment is included in the International Standard IEC 61000-4-20 as an alternative... view more (2003-10-03)

Accelerated evolution converts RNA enzyme to DNA enzyme in vitro
This 'evolutionary conversion' provides a modern-day snapshot of how life as we understand it may have first evolved out of the earliest primordial mix of RNA-like molecules-sometimes referred to as the "pre-RNA world"-into a more complex form of RNA-based life (or the "RNA... view more (2006-03-28)

High number of test match appearances linked to longer life

Colon cancer screening rates continue to lag behind those for breast and cervical cancer.   view more (2007-02-20)

APL regulates vascular tissue identity in Arabidopsis
Plants have a conductive tissue, phloem, for transporting sugars and hormones to non-green parts after photosynthesis. Phloem has two basic cell types, enucleate sieve elements (SE) and companion cells (CC). Scientists from the University of Helsinki have developmentally analyzed the process of... view more (2003-11-13)

Your Heart Could Indicate Whether You Have Kidney Problems
Cardiovascular risk factors appear to indicate deteriorating renal function in all adults. Researchers discovered various indicators of heart or vascular disease can signal that kidney function is on the decline in the general population, as just published in the May issue of Kidney International.   view more (2005-05-12)

Small molecule offers big hope against cancer
DCA is an odourless, colourless, inexpensive, relatively non-toxic, small molecule. And researchers at the University of Alberta believe it may soon be used as an effective treatment for many forms of cancer.   view more (2007-01-17)

Researchers develop blood test to detect lung cancer
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death for both men and women in the United States and around the world, mainly because lung cancers are found in late stages and the best treatment opportunities already have been missed.   view more (2006-08-01)

'Healthy' children with smoking parents aren't really so healthy

One of the greatest medical mysteries of our time has taken a leap forward in medical understanding with new study results announced by Dr. Daniel D. Rubens of Children's Hospital and Regional Medical Center in Seattle.   view more (2007-07-27)

Functional brain imaging in the dog.
Single photon emission tomography is an imaging modality using radiolabelled tracer substances to investigate function and metabolism of various organs in the living patient. We explored this technique in the dog to investigate brain function. Brain perfusion (an indirect indicator for metabolism... view more (2003-02-04)

Rapid Diagnostic Test For Plague
An important step towards controlling bubonic and pneumonic plague may soon be possible with the use of a straightforward and accurate diagnostic test, according to authors of a study in this week's issue of THE LANCET. Plague is a flea-borne rodent disease that is occasionally transmitted to man,... view more (2003-01-16)

New test detects cirrhosis of the liver in an early stage
Ghent researchers have developed a new and easy method of detecting cirrhosis of the liver. This major finding helps predict the evolution of chronic liver disease, allowing physicians to start proper treatment early on. Patients suffering from this serious, progressive disease in its cirrhosis... view more (2004-03-08)

Study examines testing model to predict and diagnose new cases of dementia
A report published by researchers at Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University in the August 20 issue of JAMA suggests that measuring how much an individual's performance varies across several neuropsychological tests enhances the accuracy of predicting whether older adults will... view more (2008-08-20)
