Ultra-Useful Ultrasound Causing A Stir In Materials Science
As the molecules are manipulated by the sound wave, tiny cavities are formed and destroyed inside the material that release high levels of energy when they implode, causing chemical or physical reactions to occur. Sonochemistry is already proving a useful tool and is being applied commercially in... view more (1999-02-03)

Research linking obesity and asthma shows weight reduction may provide therapy for asthma sufferers

How does soy promote weight loss? University of Illinois scientist finds another clue
Research shows that when soy consumption goes up, weight goes down. A new University of Illinois study may help scientists understand exactly how that weight loss happens.   view more (2007-05-02)

Surgery for severe obesity saves lives
An extensive swedish study from the Sahlgrenska Academy has established that surgery reduces premature death in patients with severe obesity. A long-term follow up has shown that mortality is significantly lower among patients who undergo surgery than among those who do not.   view more (2007-08-24)

Uric acid may provide early clues to diabetic kidney disease
For patients with type 1 diabetes, increased levels of uric acid in the blood may be an early sign of diabetic kidney disease-appearing before any significant change in urine albumin level, the standard screening test, reports a study in the May 2008 issue of the Clinical Journal of the American... view more (2008-03-19)

New cell culturing method pumps up the volume
In a breakthrough that will likely accelerate research aimed at cures for hearing loss, tinnitus, and balance problems, scientists have perfected a laboratory culturing technique that provides a reliable new source of cells critical to understanding certain inner-ear disorders.   view more (2007-09-25)

QBI neuroscientists make Alzheimer's disease advance
Queensland Brain Institute (QBI) neuroscientists at UQ have discovered a new way to reduce neuronal loss in the brain of a person with Alzheimer's disease.   view more (2008-06-10)

New nationwide study will evaluate effect of antioxidants and fish oil on progression of AMD
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) announces a nationwide study to see if a modified combination of vitamins, minerals, and fish oil can further slow the progression of vision loss from AMD, the leading cause of vision loss in the United States for people over age 60.   view more (2006-10-12)

Repair not destruction: A new approach to treating retinopathy
Many diseases of the eye (such as retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) and diabetic retinopathy) that result in loss of vision are the result of the growth of abnormal blood vessels that leak and bleed.   view more (2006-11-17)

Reduced mitochondrial function important mechanism in aging
Scientists at the Karolinska Institute have found that changes in the "powerhouse" of cells, the mitochondria, play a key role in aging. The findings are being published in this week's issue of the journal Nature. Mitochondria, which provide energy to cells, have their own set of DNA.... view more (2004-05-27)

Record cold winter may increase ozone hole over North Europe
European scientists confirmed that Arctic high atmosphere is reaching the lowest ever temperatures this winter, warning that destruction of the protective ozone layer is substantially increased under very cold conditions. First signs of ozone loss have already been detected. The ozone... view more (2005-01-31)

The deactivation of two genes could be the cause of Alzheimer's
Alzheimer's disease could be caused by the deactivation of what are known as "presenilin genes". Using mice as a model for the study of Alzheimer's in humans, a scientific team headed by the researcher Carlos Saura, from the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, has discovered that... view more (2004-06-01)

Memory lane: Older persons with more schooling spend fewer years with cognitive loss
Those with at least a high school education spend more of their older years without cognitive loss - including the effects of Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and dementia -- but die sooner after the loss becomes apparent, reveals a new study appearing in the June 2008 issue of the Journal of Aging and... view more (2008-05-13)

U of M study shows treatment of periodontal disease does not decrease risk for preterm birth
Researchers at the University of Minnesota School of Dentistry have found treatment of periodontal (gum) disease in pregnant women does not significantly alter rates of preterm birth, low birth weight, or fetal growth restriction.   view more (2006-11-02)

Weight loss after gastric bypass surgery may protect against infection and cancer
Another health benefit of bariatric weight-loss surgery may be a heightened immune defense against cancer and infections, a new study suggests. The results will be presented at The Endocrine Society's 90th Annual Meeting in San Francisco.   view more (2008-06-18)

UQ research predicts type 2 diabetes explosion
Health loss caused by type 2 diabetes will more than double in Australia by 2023, as health loss from most other major causes falls, according to new research by The University of Queensland's (UQ) School of Population Health.   view more (2008-01-11)

Ancient bison teeth provide window on past Great Plains climate, vegetation
A University of Washington researcher has devised a way to use the fossil teeth of ancient bison as a tool to reconstruct historic climate and vegetation changes in America's breadbasket, the Great Plains.   view more (2006-08-08)

New research suggests that recognising early impairments may make Alzheimer's a treatable disease
Alzheimer's Disease need no longer be a death sentence but will become more treatable, if detected in its early stages. Evidence on brain scans, in conjunction with performance on psychological test showing mild cognitive impairments (MCI) like slight memory loss, pinpoints more people at risk of... view more (1999-03-16)

Plastic surgeons warn of malnutrition in body contouring patients
