[Funny] A referee has sent himself off in an English amateur league ma
Andy Wain had to abandon the Sunday league match between Peterborough North End and a Royal Mail side in the 63rd minute after throwing down his whistle and marching up to confront North End's keeper. Specific Cell That Causes Eye Cancer Identified, Disproving Long-held
The cell that gives rise to the eye cancer retinoblastoma has now been identified, disproving a long-standing principle of nerve growth and development. The finding suggests for the first time that it may one day be possible for scientists to induce fully developed neurons to multiply and coax the injured brain to repair itself. Withdrawal Drug Offers Symptom Relief To Crohn's Sufferers, Study Show
A Penn State College of Medicine pilot study suggests a low dose of naltrexone, a drug used to ease symptoms of alcohol and drug addiction, may also bring relief to people with Crohn's disease, a chronic inflammatory disorder of the intestine that affects an estimated 500,000 Americans. The study results were released online this week in an early edition of the American Journal of Gastroenterology. Magnet Lab Researcher Exploring Science Behind Commercial Applications
Unlocking the mystery of how to manipulate, measure and separate very tiny particles has tremendous applications for the pharmaceutical industry and could change how some medications are delivered and how effective they are.That's the backdrop for the research of Steven W. Van Sciver, a professor of mechanical engineering with the Florida A&M University/Florida State University College of Engineering and an expert in cryogenics at the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory in Tallahassee. Studies Address Issues Of Risk And Survival In Rapidly Increasing GI C
Studies published by the American Gastroenterological Association shed new light on risk factors and predictors of survival associated with two types of cancer that are among the most rapidly increasing in the Western world -- esophageal and stomach cancer. Virtual Colonoscopy Shows Cancer Outside The Colon
Computed tomographic colonography (CTC) depicts cancers and other clinically important conditions that would be missed with standard colonoscopy and at very little additional cost. The New Yorker: Talk of the Town [Hurricane Katrina]
Commentary from The New Yorker magazine on Hurricane Katrina, including opinion about President Bush's response to the disaster, personal experiences of New Orleans residents, looting, and (from 1987) a John McPhee article on elevation and levees in New Orleans. Additional articles on Hurricane Katrina can be found in the New Yorker's online archives. Battling Bacteria: Antimicrobial 'Hole Puncher'Mechanism Described
In the battle against bacteria, researchers have scored a direct hit. They have deciphered the molecular mechanism behind selective antimicrobial activity for a prototypical class of synthetic compounds. The rapid development of bacterial resistance to conventional antibiotics (such as penicillin or vancomycin) has become a major public health concern. Because resistant strains of bacteria can arise faster than drug companies can create antibiotics, understanding how these molecules function could help companies narrow their focus on potential antibiotics and bring them to market sooner. Low-glycemic Load Diet May Improve Ability To Stay On Diet Longer
Low-glycemic load diets, those low in sugars with moderate levels of carbohydrates and not as low in fat and protein, may lower metabolism less when compared with low-fat diets, making the dieters feel less tired, cold and hungry, as well as improve cardiovascular risk factors, according to an article in the Nov. 24 issue of The Journal of the American Medical Association. It Takes a Thief
