Avoidance of Physical Activity and Osteoarthritis of the Knee
Study Confirms Link Between Lack of Exercise and Increased Disability Findings Highlight the Mediating Role of Muscle Strength Physical disability is one of the major consequences of Osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee. For many sufferers, routine tasks such as... view more... (2002-06-28)
Super deep rock formation and upper mantle move in concert
European Highlight from Geophysical Research Letters (GRL) In a finding that contradicts conventional wisdom, results from a new technique to survey the super-deep upper mantle of southern Africa show that underground volcanic rock shifted with the lithospheric plates in the area. Previously, researchers thought that the motion of the two objects... view more... (2002-03-06)
Geographic isolation drives the evolution of a hot springs microbe
Sulfolobus islandicus, a microbe that can live in boiling acid, is offering up its secrets to researchers hardy enough to capture it from the volcanic hot springs where it thrives. view more (2009-05-28)
Europa does the wave to generate heat
One of the moons in our solar system that scientists think has the potential to harbor life may have a far more dynamic ocean than previously thought. view more (2008-12-12)
Flies on speed offer insight into the roles of dopamine in sleep and arousal
Methamphetamine, the drug of choice for long-distance truckers and college students pulling all-nighters, appears to do a similar trick for fruit flies, too. This finding is one of several in a new study that demonstrates a critical role for the neurotransmitter dopamine in the modulation of sleep, wake, and arousal states. view more (2005-07-12)
Study: When it comes to physical activity, one size does not fit all
A landmark University of Alberta study, analyzing a sample of over 275,000 individuals, has found that when it comes to participation in physical activity, one size does not fit all. view more (2008-02-14)
Sporadic play activity as beneficial to child health as continuous bouts of exercise, study suggests
