STAMP System Can Help Professionals To Identify Potentially Violent In
A health researcher has developed a violence assessment framework after observing patients for 290 hours in an accident and emergency department and interviewing nurses after violent incidents. The STAMP system will also prove invaluable to professionals in a wide range of other situations, including law enforcement and social services. Two Studies Document Rise Of Superbugs In The Environment
As science gets wiser, so do the bugs. The rates of drug-resistant bacteria infecting patients in the community and in the hospital have been increasing steadily in recent years, according to two new studies in the June 15 issue of Clinical Infectious Diseases, now available online. Natural Climate Change May Be Larger Than Commonly Thought
A new study of climate in the Northern Hemisphere for the past 2000 years shows that natural climate change may be larger than generally thought. This is displayed in results from scientists at the Stockholm University, made in cooperation with Russian scientists, which are published in Nature on 10 Feb 2005. BBC Food: Tea

Understanding Fragile X Syndrome With The Blink Of An Eye
While researchers have long known the genetic defect underlying Fragile X syndrome, they are still tracing how that defect creates the complex mix of mental retardation, hyperactive behavior, attention deficits, and other problems in the disorder. Fragile X is particularly important because it is the most common single-gene cause of mental retardation -- affecting about 1 in 4000 males and 1 in 8000 females in the U.S. 'Knockout'Surprise: Mice More Likely To Survive Malaria When Key Gene
Researchers were surprised to discover that mice that lack a molecule found in a type of white blood cell had a significantly higher survival rate from malaria than those in which the molecule is present. One-quarter of mice in which the alpha D gene was knocked out survived a severe form of malaria, compared with zero survivors in a group that had functioning alpha D genes. The study confirms the role of alpha D in the body's immune response to infection, but also indicates the molecule can cause uncontrolled inflammation that makes malaria, and possibly other systemic infections, even more deadly.
