Current technology for brain cooling unlikely to help trauma patients
Attempts to cool the brain to reduce injury from stroke and other head trauma may face a significant obstacle: current cooling devices can't penetrate very deeply into the brain. view more (2006-08-07)
Immune system kick-started in moist nasal lining in sinusitis, asthma and colds
Scientists at Johns Hopkins have outlined a new path for potential therapies to combat inflammation associated with sinusitis and asthma based on a new understanding of the body's earliest immune response in the nose and sinus cavities. view more (2008-04-30)
Common Cold No More Frequent In People With Asthma - But Symptoms Are More Severe (p 831)
People with asthma are not at an increased risk of having a common cold, but are more likely to develop more severe respiratory symptoms if infected with the cold virus, conclude authors of a UK study in this week's issue of THE LANCET. Rhinoviruses are the most frequent cause of the common cold. It has long been thought that people with asthma... view more... (2002-03-06)
Shuttle brings space-grown strep bacteria back for study
When the space shuttle Endeavour touched down at the Kennedy Space Center August 21, University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston microbiology and immunology department chairman David Niesel was waiting by the runway, looking forward to a reunion with some of its passengers. view more (2007-08-23)
Southampton scientists unravel 8,200-year-old climate riddle
Palaeoceanographers from the Southampton Oceanography Centre have shed new light on the world's climate behaviour over 8,200 years ago. In an article published this week in Nature, they demonstrate that a sudden drop in temperature lasting 200 years cannot be used as a template for the modern day threat of rapid climate change. view more (2005-04-21)
NASA's Aqua Satellite Gets Two Views of Category Four Hurricane Bill
Hurricane Bill has become a powerhouse in the Atlantic Ocean and NASA satellites are providing forecasters with important information to help their forecasts. Bill is now a category four hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson Scale and is expected to strengthen as it nears Bermuda, and NASA's Aqua satellite captured two views of his cloud cover. view more (2009-08-19)
Will global warming increase plant frost damage?
Widespread damage to plants from a sudden freeze that occurred across the Eastern United States from 5 April to 9 April 2007 was made worse because it had been preceded by two weeks of unusual warmth, according to an analysis published in the March 2008 issue of BioScience. view more (2008-03-03)
Hunting the Southern Skies with SIMBA
First Images from the New "Millimetre Camera" on SEST at La Silla A new instrument, SIMBA ("SEST IMaging Bolometer Array"), has been installed at the Swedish-ESO Submillimetre Telescope (SEST) at the ESO La Silla Observatory in July 2001. It records astronomical images at a wavelength of 1.2 mm and is able to quickly map large sky areas. In order... view more... (2001-08-30)
Strawberry fields ripe for the picking
Many fruit farmers in the United States rely heavily on "pick-your-own" (PYO) operations to realize profits and create repeat business. Pick-your-own fruit farms are an important market segment, and consumer satisfaction with the experience is critical to farmers eager to increase seasonal revenues. view more (2007-12-07)
Regular, moderate exercise reduces the risk of colds in postmenopausal women
Postmenopausal women who want to decrease their risk of colds would be well advised to dust off their sneakers and get moving, suggests a new study led by researchers at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center. view more (2006-10-26)
Old glass - a new material
Insulation materials used for sound insulation, as thermal cladding and in fire prevention play an important role in modern building. Ever since asbestos and a number of other building materials were identified as hazardous, demand has continually grown for non-fibrous building materials that do not present any risk to health. Researchers at the... view more... (1999-09-03)
UC Davis researchers discover key to body's ability to detect subtle temperature changes
Scientists have long known the molecular mechanisms behind most of the body's sensing capabilities. Vision, for example, is made possible in part by rhodopsin, a pigment molecule that is extremely sensitive to light. view more (2007-02-26)
Killer pulses help characterize special surfaces
Detecting deadly fumes in subways, toxic gases in chemical spills, and hidden explosives in baggage is becoming easier and more efficient with a measurement technique called surface-enhanced Raman scattering. To further improve the technique's sensitivity, scientists must design better scattering surfaces, and more effective ways of evaluating... view more... (2008-07-30)
CSHL scientists identify and repress breast cancer stem cells in mouse tissue
By manipulating highly specific gene-regulating molecules called microRNAs, scientists at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL) report that they have succeeded in singling out and repressing stem-like cells in mouse breast tissue - cells that are widely thought to give rise to cancer. view more (2007-12-18)
The lethal fourth state
The use of toxic chemicals to sterilise medical instruments may soon be a thing of the past, according to researchers at Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Virginia, and the University of California in San Diego. Their work, released on 30 April 2003 in New Journal of Physics, published jointly by the Institute of Physics and the German Physical... view more... (2003-04-24)
Effective relief for sensitive teeth
Those who have over-sensitive necks of teeth will know the stabbing pain encountered when eating a cold ice-cream or a pickled gherkin. Special toothpastes or mouthrinses containing fluorides bring relief. Scientists are investigating what causes them to be effective and how. "Ouch", groans the nice young lady on the TV commercial, pulling a face.... view more... (2002-03-06)
NIST team develops novel method for nanostructured polymer thin films
All researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) wanted was a simple, quick method for making thin films of block copolymers or BCPs (chemically distinct polymers linked together) in order to have decent samples for taking measurements important to the microelectronics industry. view more (2007-09-17)
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)
Reference
These were the findings of a study published today, Thursday, 9 September 1999, in the British Journal of Developmental Psychology , by Dr Jon Sutton, Professor Peter Smith and Dr John Swettenham of Goldsmiths College, University of London. view more (1999-09-02)
CSHL scientists discover new details of a gene-regulatory network governing metabolism
Metabolism is a central feature of life - a myriad of biochemical processes that, together, enable organisms to nourish and sustain themselves. Scientists at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL) are in the forefront of efforts to demonstrate how the regulation of genes governs fundamental life processes, including metabolism. view more (2008-02-25)
