Choosing dry or wet food for cats makes little difference
Although society is accustomed to seeing Garfield-sized cats, obese, middle-aged cats can have a variety of problems including diabetes mellitus, which can be fatal. view more (2007-12-04)
Old bones unearth new date for giant deer's last stand
A new investigation into extinctions caused by climate change has revealed that the giant deer, previously thought to have been wiped out by a cold spell 10,500 years ago, instead survived well into the modern era. view more (2004-10-04)
Abertay researchers in clover to unearth destructive bug
Scots scientists are playing a key role in a major new research effort which could save Britain's farmers millions of pounds a year through reductions in fertiliser and pesticide use. Biotechnology experts at the University of Abertay Dundee, in partnership with two organisations in England, have been awarded £471,000 by the BBSRC... view more... (2002-04-04)
Allergens and viruses act together to worsen asthma
Common allergens (such as dust mite and grass pollen) and viruses may act together to exacerbate asthma, concludes a study in this week’s BMJ. view more (2002-03-27)
Study links cat disease to flame retardants in furniture and to pet food
A mysterious epidemic of thyroid disease among pet cats in the United States may be linked to exposure to dust shed from flame retardants in household carpeting, furniture, fabrics and pet food, scientists are reporting in a study scheduled for publication the Aug. 15 online issue of Environmental Science & Technology. view more (2007-08-16)
MRI/PET Scanner Combo
Two kinds of body imaging -- positron emission tomography (PET) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) -- have been combined for the first time in a single scanner. view more (2008-03-10)
Discovery is a step towards pollution-free cars
Scientists have made a world-first discovery which is a step towards using environmentally-friendly hydrogen to power our cars. view more (2004-10-13)
New bacterium discovered -- related to cause of trench fever
A close cousin of the bacterium that debilitated thousands of World War I soldiers has been isolated at UCSF from a patient who had been on an international vacation. The woman, who has since recovered, suffered from symptoms similar to malaria or typhoid fever, two infections that can occur in returning travelers. view more (2007-06-07)
Medimmune announces phase 2 safety data for anti-RSV antibody and national RSV surveillance results

Cocky foxes brush with fate
A captive-bred animal’s “personality” could significantly influence its chance of survival following reintroduction to the wild, ecologists have discovered. Working with the endangered North American swift fox, Samantha Bremner will tell the British Ecological Society’s Winter Meeting, to be held at the University of... view more... (2001-12-10)
Cats' Eye Diseases Genetically Linked to Diseases in Humans
About one in 3,500 people are affected with retinitis pigmentosa (RP), a disease of the retina's visual cells that eventually leads to blindness. Now, a University of Missouri researcher has identified a genetic link between cats and humans for two different forms of RP. This discovery will help scientists develop gene-based therapies that will... view more... (2009-03-05)
New technique in permanent bradytherapy for the treatment of lung cancer
The University Hospital at Navarre University has developed a system for the percutaneous implantation of palladium 103 seeds, a new technique in permanent bradytherapy for the treatment of lung cancer. Recently, the fourth experiment was carried out and the results remitted to the scientific magazine, "Bradytherapy", for its publication. To date... view more... (2004-07-12)
Study links low-frequency hearing to shape of the cochlea
Shape matters, even in hearing. Specifically, it is the shape of the cochlea - the snail-shell-shaped organ in the inner ear that converts sound waves into nerve impulses that the brain deciphers - which proves to be surprisingly important. view more (2008-04-28)
One shot of gene therapy spreads through brain in animal study
By targeting a site in a mouse brain well connected to other areas, researchers successfully delivered a beneficial gene to the entire brain-after one injection of gene therapy. If these results in animals can be realized in people, researchers may have a potential method for gene therapy to treat a host of rare but devastating congenital human... view more... (2007-10-09)
CAT scan reveals inner workings of volcano island
On the ground and in the water, an international team of researchers has been collecting imaging data on the Soufriere Hills Volcano in Montserrat to understand the internal structure of the volcano and how and when it erupts. view more (2008-12-19)

oxoplasma Infection Increases Risk of Schizophrenia, Study Suggests
Findings from what is believed to be the largest comparison of blood samples collected from healthy individuals and people with schizophrenia suggest that infection with the common Toxoplasma gondii parasite, carried by cats and farm animals, may increase the risk of schizophrenia. view more (2008-01-17)
EXPOSURE TO CATS CAN INDUCE ASTHMA TOLERANCE (p 752)
Children exposed to cat allergens at home can produce an immune response without developing asthma, report authors of a study in this week’s issue of THE LANCET. However, in some children, exposure to cat allergens remains the highest single risk factor for asthma. Although asthma is strongly associated with immediate hypersensitivity to... view more...

Study reveals link among childhood allergies, asthma symptoms, and early life exposure to cats
A study released by researchers at the Columbia Center for Children's Environmental Health (CCCEH) at Columbia University's Mailman School of Public Health, shows that cat ownership may have a protective effect against the development of asthma symptoms in young children at age five. view more (2008-05-21)
