Two Earth-sized Bodies With Oxygen Rich Atmospheres Found, But They're
Astrophysicists have discovered two earth sized bodies with oxygen rich atmospheres; however, there is a bit of a disappointing snag for anyone looking for a potential home for alien life, or even a future home for ourselves, as they are not planets but are actually two unusual white dwarf stars. Intake Of Dietary Copper Helps Alzheimer's Patients
As one of the services for patients with Alzheimer's disease, the Department of Psychiatry at the Saarland University Medical Center offers participation in a clinical phase II trial. This clinical trial aims to elucidate a potential beneficial effect of copper orotate (an organic copper salt), which is given together with a standard cholinesterase inhibitor. A diagnosis of mild to moderate dementia of the Alzheimer type is a prerequisite. Hands-On With the Apple iPad

 Aging Eye More Susceptible To Serious Damage, Scientists Report
Increasing stiffness of the aging eye may make older adults more susceptible to eye damage following trauma, according to research at Wake Forest-Virginia Tech School of Biomedical Engineering and Sciences Researchers Go Underground To Reveal 850 New Species In Australian Out
Australian researchers have discovered a huge number of new species of invertebrate animals living in underground water, caves and "micro-caverns" amid the harsh conditions of the Australian outback. Greenland's Ice Loss Accelerating Rapidly, Gravity-measuring Satellite
A new analysis of data from twin satellites has revealed that the melting of Greenland's ice sheet has increased dramatically in the past few years, with much of the loss occurring primarily along one shoreline potentially affecting weather in Western Europe. Dominant Cholesterol-metabolism Ideas Challenged By New Research
A team of researchers investigating cholesterol and lipid transport has performed experiments that cast serious doubt on the dominant hypothesis of how the body rids its cells of "bad"cholesterol and increases "good"cholesterol. Cholesterol metabolism is an area of intense inquiry because high levels of LDL cholesterol or total cholesterol put about half of all Americans at significant risk of heart disease. Study Finds Markers For Premature Birth Risk At The Molecular Level
For the first time, researchers have successfully profiled the amniotic fluid metabolome (the sum of all metabolic processes occurring in the amniotic fluid), in order to identify which women who have experienced preterm labor are also at risk for delivering a premature baby. High Rates Of Sexually Transmitted Infections Found In Young Drug User
High rates of herpes simplex virus 2 and syphilis were found among young drug users in Baltimore, Md. Women had significantly higher rates than men. Breast Cancer Gene Activity Seen From Outside The Body
Researchers have used PET imaging to see hyperactive cancer genes inside breast tumors in laboratory animals, marking the first time such gene activity has been observed from outside the body. This technology might someday help physicians to detect and classify cancer, enabling them to find cancerous breast tumors as early as possible, and determine the appropriate treatment.
