Ventricular Regulation May Be Key To Preventing Heart Failure
A four-week study conducted on animals revealed that regulating ventricular rates and heart structure in models with irregular heart rhythms can inhibit chronic heart failure (CHF). Entente Cordiale
"The Entente Cordiale was a colonial-era agreement signed by the British Foreign Secretary ... and the French Ambassador ... [in] 1904 with the aim of settling long-standing disputes between the UK and France in countries such as Morocco, Egypt, Siam, Madagascar, the New Hebrides, West and Central Africa and Newfoundland."This site provides information about the Franco-British relationship today and about the celebration of the centenary of the agreement in 2004. In English and French. Tracking Membranes Of Rupturing Blood Cells Sheds Light On Malaria Inf
By specially tagging the outer and inner membranes of red blood cells infected with the malaria parasite and tracking the cellular changes that precede the cell bursting event that disperses parasites to other blood cells, a group of researchers has deepened our understanding of how the malaria pathogen destroys the cells in which it resides. The work is reported in Current Biology by Joshua Zimmerberg and colleagues at the U.S. National Institutes of Health. Saturn's Moon Titan -- Land Of Lakes And Seas
Views of the hydrocarbon lakes and seas on Saturn's moon Titan taken by the Cassini spacecraft are now available. A new radar image comprised from seven Titan fly-bys over the last year and a half shows a north pole pitted with giant lakes and seas, at least one of them larger than Lake Superior in North America, the largest freshwater lake on Earth. Infertility Researchers Identify One Gene's Critical Role In The Human
Why some embryos successfully attach to the endometrium and others do not continues to be a mystery because little is known about the molecular mechanisms involved in the human implantation process. Now, researchers at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center have investigated one gene's critical role in this process, thereby bringing them a step closer to finding methods to help the more than 6.1 million women in the United States who suffer from infertility. U.S. Satellite Protection Scheme Could Affect Global Communications
A proposed US system to protect satellites from solar storms or high-altitude nuclear detonations could cause side-effects that lead to radio communication blackouts, according to new research. If activated, the "radiation belt remediation"(RBR) system could significantly alter the upper atmosphere, seriously disrupting high frequency (HF) radio wave transmissions and GPS navigation around the world. [Ironic] An Italian pensioner committed suicide after his wife fell in
