New Brain Marker Shows Promise For Predicting Future Alzheimer's Disea
Researchers have used imaging technology to identify a new marker that may help identify those at greatest risk for cognitive decline and the development of Alzheimer's disease. While other studies have focused on the brain's ability to turn on certain regions, this research determined that losing the ability to turn off a region of the brain may be a more sensitive marker of future cognitive decline. Red Blood Cell Transfusions Could Increase Risk Of Heart Attack Or Str
Scientists have found that red blood cell transfusions given to people having heart surgery could increase the risk of heart attack or stroke. The study looked at the association between red blood cell transfusion and adverse outcomes in over 8,500 cardiac surgery patients over eight years. Car Show Goes Hollywood
Automakers roll out the star power to hawk the latest models at the Los Angeles car confab. In Autopia. Arctic Ocean History Is Deciphered By Ocean-drilling Research Team
Sediment cores retrieved from the Arctic's deep-sea floor by the Integrated Ocean Drilling Program's Arctic Coring Expedition have provided long-absent data to scientists. Largest Red Tide Outbreak In 12 Years In Massachusetts Bay Monitored
With shellfish beds from Maine to Cape Cod coast closed from the largest outbreak of red tide in 12 years in Massachusetts Bay, scientists from the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) are studying the algae that causes these "red tides"and providing information to coastal managers using new molecular techniques and oceanographic models. Largest Study Of Unrelated Bone Marrow Transplantation For Leukemia Se
Together with 16 other institutions in the United States, University of Minnesota researchers led the largest study to date in patients with leukemia and related disorders undergoing bone marrow transplantation from unrelated donors. The study was designed to determine whether one of two general approaches to prevent graft-versus-host-disease (GVHD), a potentially lethal complication, might result in improved survival. Cheap And Easy Technique To Produce Hydrogen From Visible Light Is Alm
There is a revolution in solar hydrogen on the horizon. The prospect for the wide spread use of hydrogen as a portable energy carrier is dependent on finding a clean, renewable method of production. A research group headed by a professor of electrical engineering is "only a couple of problems away"from developing an inexpensive and easily scalable technique for water photoelectrolysis - the splitting of water into hydrogen and oxygen using light energy -- that could help power the proposed hydrogen economy. Household Dust Is Main Source Of Flame Retardants In Humans
Household dust is the main route of exposure to flame retardants for people, followed by eating animal and dairy products, according to a report in the July 15 issue of the American Chemical Society's journal Environmental Science &Technology. The study is based on a computer model developed by Canadian researchers. Study Finds ADHD Improves With Sensory Intervention
Preliminary findings from a study of children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) show that sensory intervention -- for example, deep pressure and strenuous exercise -- can significantly improve problem behaviors such as restlessness, impulsivity and hyperactivity. Phytochemicals May Protect Cartilage, Prevent Pain In Joints
Researchers have discovered that plant-derived compounds known for their ability to protect tissue also block an enzyme that triggers inflammation in joints. The findings could lead to new arthritis treatments and better methods of making artificial cartilage.
