Hearing Loss In Older Adults May Compromise Cognitive Resources For Me
In a new study, Brandeis University researchers conclude that older adults with mild-to-moderate hearing loss may expend so much cognitive energy on hearing accurately that their ability to remember spoken language suffers as a result. Statistical Method Used Influences Results Of Observational Studies
A study comparing different statistical methods used to remove the effects of selection bias in observational studies finds that results may vary and caution may be warranted when interpreting findings of studies using certain methods, according to an article in the January 17 issue of JAMA. The San Francisco Urban Environmental Accords

Our bodies could not maintain their existence without thousands of proteins performing myriad vital tasks within cells. Since malfunctioning proteins can cause disease, the study of protein structure and function can lead to the development of drugsand treatments for numerous disorders. Now scientists have developed a unique "switch"that can control the activity of any protein, raising it several-fold or stopping it almost completely. The method provides researchers with a simple and effective tool for exploring the function of unknown proteins. Jonny Wilkinson, Physicist Extraordinaire
