Plastic Surgeons Offer Microsurgery Technique For Breast Reconstructio
A new microsurgery by plastic surgeons called the Deep Inferior Epigastric Perforator (DIEP) flap procedure can offer women seeking breast reconstruction after a mastectomy some of the advantages of a more natural breast with the effects of a tummy tuck. Although it is more complex surgery, it preserves muscles for quicker recovery and less postoperative pain, researchers say. Similarities In Dog And Human Breast Cancer Pre-malignant Lesions Foun
Pre-malignant mammary lesions in dogs and humans display many of the same characteristics, a discovery that could lead to better understanding of breast cancer progression and prevention for people and pets, according to scientists. Predicting what people are about to say
Researchers have made novel discoveries about the human ability to predict what other people are about to say. Their findings could have significant applications for educators, speech therapists, entrepreneurs, and many others interested in communication and comprehension. Acid Rain Likely Stunts U.S. Forests
A recent international scientific study on Russian soils raises concerns that acid rain may have serious implications for forest growth in the U.S., particularly in eastern areas such as the Adirondack and Catskill regions of New York according to the U.S. Geological Survey. New Population Of Iberian Lynx Raises Hope For Species'Survival
Spanish authorities have announced they have discovered a previously unknown population of Iberian lynx, triggering hope for one of the world's most endangered cat species. At present, the exact numbers and location of the newly discovered population are being kept confidential, but the population is thought to be made up of both adults and cubs. An explanation for the so-called 'broken-heart syndrome'

The heart takes on that particular shape after a strong emotional stress and shows symptoms similar to the ones of the infarction, although it is a much less serious disease. Index of Economic Freedom
This annual publication "measures 161 countries against a list of 50 independent variables divided into 10 broad factors of economic freedom. Low scores are more desirable. The higher the score on a factor, the greater the level of government interference in the economy and the less economic freedom a country enjoys."Covers trade policy, monetary policy, property rights, banking and finance, and other issues. A project of The Heritage Foundation and the Wall Street Journal. First Moisture-sensing Genes Discovered
Researchers have discovered the first two genes involved in moisture sensing (hygrosensation). The discovery also reveals a 'two-sensor'hygrosensing system in fruit flies that may allow the flies to detect subtle changes in humidity -- an ability that is critical for the flies'survival. Group Proves It's Possible To Grow New Lung Alveoli By Growing New Blo
Using animal models, University of Alberta researchers have taken what they say is the first important step towards treatment for lung disease in premature babies, in effect, growing new blood vessels and alveoli -- the tiny air sacs where gas exchange occurs between the lungs and blood vessels -- in tiny rat lungs. Looking Into Space Is Good For The Eye
Telescopes have helped the naked eye see into space for hundreds of years. Now imaging technology developed to correct telescopic images of far-flung planetary systems is directly benefiting research into human eye conditions - thanks to a unique collaboration between the Lund Telescope Group at the Lund Observatory and the Department of Ophthalmology at Sahlgrenska University Hospital near Gothenburg.
