Medical Refugees Forced Abroad
Not able to afford a life saving treatment? You might be forced to join the swelling number of medical refugees filling Indian hospitals. But don't worry, they're safe. In Bodyhack. Microscopes At Microscopic Size
Traditionally if scientists wanted to look at something small they would put a sample under a microscope but now researchers have managed to shrink the microscope itself to the size of a single human cell. These biochips raise the possibility of a micro-laboratory, the size of a credit card, which would be able to perform medical diagnostics, improving patient treatment by reducing the number of hospital visits needed for tests. CES Preview: Home and Portable Audio to Gain Wireless Features
At the upcoming Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, audio manufacturers -- of both home and portable devices -- are expected to be adding a variety of wireless features. We take a look at this and other top trends in audio electronics. Cassini Flies By Saturn's Tortured Moon Mimas
On its recent close flyby of Mimas (MY-muss), the Cassini spacecraft found the Saturnian moon looking battered and bruised, with a surface that may be the most heavily cratered in the Saturn system. Neuroimaging Confirms The Greater Vulnerability Of Women's Brains To A
Women appear to be more vulnerable to chronic drinking than men are. New research uses computed tomography to examine alcohol's effects on the brains of alcoholic men and women.Results show that women develop alcohol-related brain damage more readily than men. What came first in the origin of life? New study contradicts the 'meta
New research rejects the theory that the origin of life stems from a system of self-catalytic molecules capable of experiencing Darwinian evolution without the need of RNA or DNA and their replication. Muskox Suffered Loss Of Genetic Diversity At Pleistocene/Holocene Tran
The tundra muskox, one of the few large northern mammals to have survived to thepresent day, saw its genetic diversity decrease greatly at the end of thePleistocene period, around 10,000 years ago. A study published in the openaccess journal BMC Evolutionary Biology reveals that the muskox (Ovibusmoschatus) was genetically much more diverse before the Pleistocene/Holocenetransition, the period that witnessed the extinction of other great mammals suchas the mammoth. Hurricane Preparedness
Information for the public about hurricanes. The site features a brief history of major hurricanes back to 1900, information about how hurricanes are categorized using the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale (from Category 1 to Category 5), the forecasting of hurricanes, disaster plan tips, and information about marine safety, storm surges, high wind, tornadoes, and inland floods.

Hospitalized patients make a great captive audience for smoking cessation efforts, according to a new systematic review. When smokers become inpatients, regardless of the reason for admission, they are receptive to efforts to help them to quit smoking after discharge and more likely succeed in the long run. 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.
