Chronic Fatigue Patients Show Lower Response To Placebos
Contrary to conventional wisdom, patients with chronic fatigue syndrome respond to placebos at a lower rate than people with many other illnesses, according to the first systematic review of the topic. Molecular Profiling Can Accurately Predict Survival In Colon Cancer Pa
A new method accurately predicts which patients with colon cancer are most likely to have their disease recur after surgery and who would, therefore, be likely to benefit from additional chemotherapy. Hershey Medical Center To Participate In Study Of Blood Substitute For
Penn State Milton S. Hershey Medical Center was one of a few Level I trauma centers in the U.S. chosen to participate in a national clinical research study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of PolyHeme, an oxygen-carrying blood substitute, in treating critically injured and bleeding patients. Studies Find No Evidence That Estrogens In Soy Increase Uterine Cancer
Studies in monkeys and women suggest that unlike traditional estrogen therapy, a diet high in the natural plant estrogens found in soy does not increase the risk of uterine cancer in postmenopausal women, according to Mark Cline, D.V.M., Ph.D., an associate professor of comparative medicine at Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center. No Tooth Brush, No Cavities? Cavity-causing Bacteria May Be Made To Se
Bacteria that eat sugar and release cavity-causing acid onto teeth may soon be made dramatically more vulnerable to their own acid. Researchers have identified key genes and proteins that, if interfered with, can take away the ability of a key bacterial species to thrive as its acidic waste builds up in the mouth. A Sneak Peek at aFractured Web
Globetrotting researchers are building the first detailed almanac of government internet censorship around the world. The early results aren't pretty. By Mark Anderson. New Clues To The Dark Side Of A Key Anti-tumor Guardian
In work reported this week, researchers studying p53 function in fruit flies show new evidence that despite the protective role of p53 as a guardian against tumor formation, normal levels of p53 activity -- at least in some cell types -- may indeed contribute to aging and decreased lifespan. Scripps Scientists Find Potential For Catastrophic Shifts In Pacific E
Opening the door to a new way of understanding ocean processes and managing and protecting marine resources, a group of researchers at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University of California, San Diego, has developed a groundbreaking analysis of the North Pacific Ocean and how dramatic changes can unfold across its waters. First Diploid Human Genome Sequence Shows We're Surprisingly Different
This new genome represents the first time a true diploid genome from one individual -- Dr. J. Craig Venter, has been published. From the combined data of more than 20 billion base pairs of DNA, the team was able to assemble the majority of Dr. Venter's genome. Since this genome assembly uniquely catalogues the contributions of each of the parental chromosomes, for the first time the amount of variation existing between the two could be determined. Surprisingly, a higher than expected amount of genetic variation was found to exist between the two human chromosomes. Dr. Venter commented that human variation is five to seven-fold greater than earlier estimates. Legal Lad: Quick and Dirty Tips for a More Lawful Life
