Sun exposure seems to reduce risk of multiple sclerosis
Higher sun exposure during childhood and early adolescence is associated with a reduced risk of multiple sclerosis, finds a study in this week's BMJ. Multiple sclerosis is more common at higher latitudes, which generally have lower levels of ultraviolet radiation. The study was carried out in Tasmania, which is located at high latitude and has a... view more... (2003-08-06)
Because cleaner grains make finer flour
A new computer program devised by British physicists can quickly spot tiny beetles, rodent droppings and ergot (a poisonous mould) in grain destined for flour and bread manufacture. The researchers reveal details of their work today in the Institute of Physics journal Measurement Science and Technology. Professor Roy Davies and his colleagues in... view more... (2002-10-31)
Humans are reason for why domestic animals have strange and varied coat colors
HUMANS have actively changed the coats of domestic animals by cherry-picking rare genetic mutations, causing variations such as different colours, bands and spots, according to a new study. view more (2009-01-16)
Focus on opticians shows chain store pricing policies can save independents
Big chain stores setting their prices on a national rather than local basis can help independent retailers survive, according to new research funded by the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC). view more (2006-11-08)
Genetic variation linked to age-related macular degeneration
The combination of a certain genetic variation, along with inflammatory factors and smoking, significantly increases the risk of the vision disorder age-related macular degeneration view more (2006-07-19)
2CV man - phantom menace
This is the finding of research presented today, Wednesday 29 September, by Professor Graham Davies of Leicester University, at The British Psychological Society's Division of Forensic Psychology Conference, held at Churchill College, Cambridge. view more (1999-09-13)
Vigorous Exercise May Help Prevent Vision Loss
There's another reason to dust off those running shoes. Vigorous exercise may help prevent vision loss, according to a pair of studies from the U.S. Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. view more (2009-02-10)
Detecting poisons in nectar is an odour-ous task for honeybees
Though many spring flowers have bright advertisements offering sweet rewards to honeybees, some common flowers have not-so-sweet or even toxic nectars. view more (2007-04-02)
Study discovers secret of Scottish sheep evolution
Researchers from the University of Sheffield, as part of an international team, have discovered the secret of why dark sheep on a remote Scottish Island are mysteriously declining, seemingly contradicting Darwin's evolutionary theory. view more (2008-01-18)
Link between carbohydrate quality and vision loss is strengthened by new data
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and its associated vision loss may be connected to the quality of carbohydrates an individual consumes. view more (2007-07-12)
Researchers within sight of a breakthrough on blindness
The discovery by a Leeds University scientist of a new blindness gene could help to save the sight of thousands of sufferers of retinal disease which affects premature babies as well as people over 60. view more (2004-11-03)
Sell-by date "arbitrary" on some food packaging
New research on untreated green olives has found that products with a stated shelf-life of 2-3 years can be 'unacceptable' long before their sell-by date. The study, published in the Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, looked at the growing trend towards using polyethylene pouches which are vacuum-packed, filled with brine or packed in... view more...

Shining light on diabetes-related blindness
A group of scientists in California is trying to develop a cheaper, less invasive way to spot the early stages of retinal damage from diabetic retinopathy, the leading cause of blindness in American adults, before it leads to blindness. view more (2009-03-12)
Vision and hearing loss often occur together in older age
Older adults with vision loss may be more likely to also have hearing loss, and the opposite appears true as well. view more (2006-10-10)
New cataract gene discovered
The international team of researchers was able to identify the location and defect in the coding region of the gene through analysis of genetic material (DNA) from members of a large Swiss family, the majority of whom suffered from autosomal dominant juvenile cataract. view more (2008-02-15)
Penn researchers find treatment for MS also reduces vision loss in MS patients
According to a study that appears in the April 17 issue of Neurology, researchers at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine have found that natalizumab (TYSABRI®) - a drug that slows disability and reduces relapse rates in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) - also reduces vision loss in patients with relapsing MS. view more (2007-04-17)
Smoking linked to blindness
Smokers are up to four times as likely to become blind in later life from age related macular degeneration (AMD) than non-smokers, but many remain largely unaware of this risk, warn researchers in this week's BMJ. AMD is the most common cause of adult blindness, which results in severe irreversible loss of central vision. One in five cases of AMD... view more... (2004-03-03)
Age-old magic tricks can provide clues for modern science
Revealing the science behind age-old magic tricks will help us better understand how humans see, think, and act, according to researchers at the University of British Columbia and Durham University in the U.K. view more (2008-07-23)
