Invasion Of New Beach Grass Could Weaken Shoreline Protection
An invasion of American beach grass is under way along the Oregon coast, threatening to change dune ecology and reduce the ability of dunes to protect roads, property and towns from coastal storms. Scientists have documented a slow but steady takeover by this beach grass, an invasive species. They found that protective "foredunes"covered by the new grass species are only about half as high as those created by the European species of grass that were formerly dominant. Drug Reduces Unscheduled Trips To Doctor For Childhood Asthma Attacks
Young children with attacks of sporadic, recurring asthma who were treated with the prescription drug montelukast by their parents had fewer unscheduled trips to the doctor, missed less days from school or childcare, and caused their parents to take fewer days off work for their care. One-fifth Of Rheumatoid Arthritis Patients In Drug-free Remission Foll
Early treatment with a combination of methotrexate and infliximab may be effective as remission induction therapy and alter the course of early rheumatoid arthritis, according to new research. Solar Breakthrough Will Help Spur Viability Of Alternative Energy
Researchers from New Mexico State University and Wake Forest University achieve 5.2 percent energy conversion with organic solar development. This means less expensive more durable solar panels available in four to five years. Early lessons from the H1N1 pandemic: Critical illness in children unp
Lessons learned from the first 13 children at Johns Hopkins Children's Center to become critically ill from the H1N1 virus show that although all patients survived, serious complications developed quickly, unpredictably, with great variations from patient to patient and with serious need for vigilant monitoring and quick treatment adjustments. UCLA Researchers Observe How The Immune System Recognizes And Responds
Using positron emission tomography (PET) imaging, researchers at UCLA's Jonsson Cancer Center were able to observe - in real time - how the immune system initially recognizes cancer and mobilizes to fight the disease. Scientists Develop Technology To Detect Cancer
Researchers at the University of Liverpool have developed a breakthrough technology that identifies molecular markers in early lung cancer. 'Drunk' Fruit Flies Could Shed Light On Genetic Basis Of Human Alcohol
Fruit flies get "drunk,"just like humans, when exposed to large amounts of alcohol and may in future help to explain why some people are genetically predisposed to alcohol abuse. Humans and fruit flies respond to alcohol in a very similar way at the gene level, according to a study published today in the open access journal Genome Biology. Mining Safety and Health Research
Extensive data, documents, and resources on health and safety aspects of mining. Includes statistics on mining accidents, fact sheets on minerals and coal, and materials on injury prevention, ergonomics, hearing loss, fire prevention, ventilation, explosives, dust, aging miners, and many other topics. From the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Patients shouldn't navigate Internet without physician guide, experts
The Internet has had a profound effect on clinical practice by providing both physicians and patients with a wealth of information. But with those rewards come risks of incorrect or poorly interpreted information that require that a doctor "never be optional," say experts.
