Low birth weight infants may have cognitive and physical problems when they reach adolescence
Sixteen-year-olds who weighed less than 2,000 grams (about 4.5 pounds) at birth and are not disabled are still more likely than the average teenager to have physical and mental difficulties. view more (2006-10-03)
NASA images, White Sands features support a wetter Mars
NASA's announcement yesterday of evidence that water still flows on Mars, at least in brief spurts, demonstrates that the view of Mars as a very dry planet should be reevaluated, says Dawn Sumner, professor of geology at UC Davis. Recent work from by Sumner and graduate student Greg Chavdarian also supports the presence of liquid water near the... view more... (2006-12-08)
Worrying rise in deaths from alcoholic liver disease
Deaths from alcoholic liver disease have increased in the West Midlands in the past decade, reflecting a nationwide trend, according to researchers in this week's BMJ. The study was set in three boroughs in the West Midlands with a total population of 837,000. Death rates were obtained from the Office for National Statistics. Deaths from primary... view more...

Reading the planetary tea leaves
An international team of astronomers is one step closer to answering the question, "Will the world end with a bang or a whimper?" view more (2007-09-24)
Ability to cope with stress can increase 'good' cholesterol in older white men, study finds
Older white men who are better able to cope with stress experience higher levels of so-called "good cholesterol" than men who are more hostile or socially isolated, according to a study released at the 115th Annual Convention of the American Psychological Association. view more (2007-08-20)
Cincinnati Children's researchers publish findings on potential target for leukemia treatment
Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center today announced the publication of pioneering research identifying the crucial role and novel mechanism of action of the protein RhoH GTPase in the development and activation of cells critical to the immune system. view more (2006-10-10)
Displaced songbirds navigate in the high Arctic
By experimentally relocating migratory white-crowned sparrows (Zonotrichia leucophrys gambelii) from their breeding area in the Canadian Northwest Territories to regions at and around the magnetic North Pole, researchers have gained new insight into how birds navigate in the high Arctic. view more (2005-09-07)
Grazing animals help spread plant disease
Researchers have discovered that grazing animals such as deer and rabbits are actually helping to spread plant disease - quadrupling its prevalence in some cases - and encouraging an invasion of annual grasses that threaten more than 20 million acres of native grasslands in California. view more (2008-12-30)
Carnegie Mellon Researchers Use New Imaging Technique To Discover Connection Differences in Brains of People With Autism
Using a new form of brain imaging known as diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), researchers in the Center for Cognitive Brain Imaging at Carnegie Mellon University have discovered that the so-called white matter in the brains of people with autism has lower structural integrity than in the brains of normal individuals. view more (2006-10-24)
Minority patients prefer optical colonoscopy for colorectal cancer screening
The clinical importance of colorectal cancer screening is well established, however the majority of eligible people do not undergo screening tests. view more (2007-11-02)
`White coat effect` has adverse effect on blood pressure readings
GPs should not make decisions about treating patients with hypertension based on high readings of blood pressure they have taken, finds a study in this week`s BMJ. Instead, researchers recommend the use of home measurements by the patient or repeated measurements by a nurse, to counter the `white coat` effect. The aim of the research was to assess... view more... (2002-07-31)
Hubble sees multiple star generations in a globular cluster
Hubble's observations of the massive globular cluster NGC 2808 provide evidence for three generations of stars that formed early in its life. This is a major upset for conventional theories that propose a single period of star birth. view more (2007-05-03)
First Image and Spectrum of a Dark Matter Object
Astronomers have observed a Dark Matter object directly for the first time. Images and spectra of a MACHO microlens - a nearby dwarf star that gravitationally focuses light from a star in another galaxy - were taken by the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope and the European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope. The Riddle of Dark Matter The... view more... (2001-12-05)
Lower risk thresholds for heart disease needed
General practitioners should use lower risk thresholds for heart disease when they are treating high blood pressure in people from ethnic minorities, finds a study in this week’s BMJ. view more (2002-11-27)
Red grapefruit appears to lower cholesterol, fight heart disease
In a controlled study group of patients with heart disease, the scientists found that feeding some patients the equivalent of one grapefruit daily significantly reduced levels of cholesterol in comparison to patients that did not eat grapefruit. view more (2006-02-09)
Study plunges standard theory of cosmology into crisis
As modern cosmologists rely more and more on the ominous "dark matter" to explain otherwise inexplicable observations, much effort has gone into the detection of this mysterious substance in the last two decades, yet no direct proof could be found that it actually exists. view more (2009-05-06)
Paraytec unveils analytical detection technology
University of York spinout Paraytec Ltd unveiled its patented analytical detection technology to an audience of investors at the White Rose Bioscience Forum today (03 November). view more (2004-11-02)
Waste disposal protein is mechanism behind cancer tumor suppression
"Taking out the trash" takes on a whole new meaning, as investigators at The Cancer Institute of New Jersey (CINJ) and Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, have discovered that a waste disposal protein is the key to cancer tumor suppression in a process known as autophagy. view more (2009-06-12)
Ideas on gas-giant planet formation take shape
Rocky planets such as Earth and Mars are born when small particles smash together to form larger, planet-sized clusters in a planet-forming disk, but researchers are less sure about how gas-giant planets such as Jupiter and Saturn form. view more (2006-03-23)
