Cold weather rather than influenza is to blame for excess deaths and demands on health services in winter, according to a study in this week's BMJ. view more (2002-01-09)
Machine preservation may promote more organ sharing
Preserving the kidneys of deceased older donors on a pump - as opposed to the conventional method of storing and transporting organs in a cooler - may lower hospital costs, improve initial organ function, and promote greater use and more sharing of organs, according to new research by Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center. view more (2007-05-03)
Hoverflies stripe off in summer heat
Ecologists are unraveling the reasons behind seasonal differences in insects’ colour patterns, a question that has puzzled them since the 1970s. Speaking at the British Ecological Society’s Winter Meeting, to be held at the University of Warwick on 18–20 December 2001, Anne Halpin and Dr Graham Holloway of the University of... view more...

'Hot' surgical techniques could increase postoperative haemorrhage after tonsillectomy (pp 642, 697)
The postoperative haemorrhage rate in tonsillectomies which use 'hot techniques' such as diathermy and coblation to stop bleeding could be over three times greater than operations which use cold steel techniques, conclude authors of a study in this week's issue of THE LANCET. Tonsillectomy is one of the most common surgical procedures.... view more... (2004-08-18)
Cold Spring Harbor Scientists Reveal A Protein's Role in Enabling AIDS Virus to Reproduce
A team of scientists at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL) has discovered new details about how a simian strain of the AIDS virus replicates. view more (2008-05-27)
Newborn lambs' central heating system could aid fat busting in humans
The way newborn lambs regulate their temperature in the first few weeks of life using a special deposit of brown fat could give clues for tackling obesity in humans, according to Imperial College London scientists. Unlike normal white fat that stores surplus energy, brown fat generates heat in response to cold or excess caloric intake. While some... view more... (2004-04-14)
Extreme machine simulates space conditions
Conditions in space are unlike anything we experience on Earth. Incredible extremes of temperature that can switch in an instant, startling vacuum conditions, not to mention radiation - it`s a tough life for a spacecraft. So it is essential to make sure they are prepared to withstand these conditions before they are launched into this wholly... view more... (2002-05-07)
Cold water ocean circulation doesn't work as expected
The familiar model of Atlantic ocean currents that shows a discrete "conveyor belt" of deep, cold water flowing southward from the Labrador Sea is probably all wet. view more (2009-05-14)
'Peking Man' older than thought; somehow adapted to cold
A new dating method has found that "Peking Man" is around 200,000 years older than previously thought, suggesting he somehow adapted to the cold of a mild glacial period. view more (2009-03-13)
1 in 10 children using cough, cold medications
Researchers from Boston University's Slone Epidemiology Center have found that approximately one in ten U.S. children uses one or more cough and cold medications during a given week. These findings appear in the August issue of the journal Pediatrics. view more (2008-08-05)
Yale study shows why cigarette smoke makes flu, other viral infections worse
A new study by researchers at Yale School of Medicine could explain why the cold and flu virus symptoms that are often mild and transient in non-smokers can seriously sicken smokers. Published in the Journal of Clinical Investigation, the study also identified the mechanism by which viruses and cigarette smoke interact to increase lung... view more... (2008-07-25)
Study shows subjective sensitivity skin temperature change is decreased in older insomniac adults
A study in the Sept. 1 issue of the journal Sleep shows that the subjective interpretation of temperature change is decreased in older adults, particularly those who suffer from insomnia. view more (2008-09-02)
UPMC performs first beating heart transplant procedure in the US
Protected by its own nutrients and blood supply, a beating heart supported by an investigational organ preservation device was successfully transplanted into a 47-year-old man with congestive heart failure and pulmonary hypertension on Sunday, April 8. view more (2007-05-18)
Well-fed robins could be lonely at Christmas
The North Wind doth blow, And we shall have snow, And what will poor robin do then, Poor thing?

Peaches Need Mineral Supplements Too
Peaches and nectarines sprayed with a calcium, magnesium and titanium-containing formulation increases fruit firmness and lifespan, according to new research published in Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture. Spanish researchers found that applying these natural compounds to peach and nectarine trees pre-harvest gives dramatic... view more... (2004-06-16)
Rocket technology retards combustibility
Every fire is literally a red-hot situation. While wood is a popular building material, it also has the disadvantage of being an excellent fuel. Intumescent coatings (from the Latin intumescere, to swell up) can help to delay the combustion of wood. Above a specific temperature, these protective coatings form a soft, carbonaceous foam that shields... view more... (2003-04-24)
Skin cooling associated with increased risk of discoloration after laser treatment
A cooling technique intended to protect the skin may actually increase the risk of discoloration in dark-skinned patients undergoing laser treatments for mole-like skin lesions. view more (2007-09-18)
TB vaccine developed at McMaster University in Canada
McMaster University researchers are about to launch Canada's first tuberculosis (TB) vaccine clinical trial with a vaccine totally designed, manufactured and tested within McMaster. view more (2009-03-20)
Invisible waves shape continental slope
A class of powerful, invisible waves hidden beneath the surface of the ocean can shape the underwater edges of continents and contribute to ocean mixing and climate, researchers from The University of Texas at Austin have found. view more (2008-07-01)
