Coral reefs may hold clue to global warming
The El Nino effect, responsible for droughts, floods, cyclones, and storms, is an important aspect of climate change in this area. Information gleaned from the investigation will aid increased knowledge of global warming and may be used by governments when establishing energy policies. Researcher Dr Sandy Tudhope explains the three year project... view more... (2000-01-20)
Vertebroplasty heals fractures but may cause others, Mayo Clinic study finds
A new Mayo Clinic study finds that vertebroplasty, a procedure used to treat painful compression fractures in the spinal vertebrae due to osteoporosis, appears to increase the risk for new fractures in adjacent vertebrae. view more (2006-01-17)

National Insect Week 2004
This summer will see the launch of National Insect Week, a new initiative from the Royal Entomological Society which aims to raise the profile of insects among the British public, and to encourage the study of entomology. National Insect Week is sponsored by Castle Cement and has the support of the Darwin Centre at the Natural History Museum in... view more... (2004-05-12)
Vertebroplasty improves back pain, activity level, Mayo Clinic study reports
A Mayo Clinic study has found patients report less back pain at rest and while active following vertebroplasty, a procedure in which medical cement is injected into painful compression fractures in the spinal vertebrae due to osteoporosis. view more (2005-12-30)
Beating the aging process naturally
The fight against aging has received a scientific boost thanks to an innovative study done in part by a University of Alberta spin-off company-research that dispels a hard-held belief about the natural ingredient, beta glucan. view more (2005-09-30)
New technique offers relief for patients with spinal tumors
A radiologist at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) School of Medicine has developed a new procedure to treat fractured vertebrae caused by spinal tumors, a procedure that may decrease the risk of complications, which are experienced by 5 to 10% of patients with malignant tumors of the spine. view more (2006-05-08)
