New Radiation Technique Helps Brain Cancer Patients Keep Their Hair
Patients whose cancer has spread to the brain can avoid typical hair loss (alopecia) when treated with newer radiation techniques, thereby improving their quality of life while still controlling their cancer, according to a study presented October 16, 2005, at the American Society for Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology's 47th Annual Meeting in Denver. Playing the Touching Game
Its touch panel makes the Nintendo DS a unique and fun gadget, although the system and the current crop of games don't use it to its fullest. By Chris Kohler. 'You're Not A Victim Of Domestic Violence, Are You?'
Doctors who ask the right questions in the right way can successfully encourage abused women to reveal that they are victims of domestic violence, even in a hectic emergency department. Patients were more likely to disclose experiences with abuse when providers used open-ended questions to initiate the topic of domestic abuse and probed for abuse by asking at least one follow-up question. Atmospheric Omens: Scientists Gain Insight Into Spring Onset, Better F
Scientists have discovered that the interplay between two layers of the atmosphere plays a major role in the arrival of spring -- a finding that could lead to improved weather and climate forecasting. Cornell Virologist Finds Contagious Equine Flu In Dogs
A Cornell University virologist has isolated a highly contagious equine flu virus that is spreading a sometimes-fatal respiratory flu among dogs, and is responsible for a major dog-flu outbreak in New York state. There is no evidence that the virus could infect people. This is the first time an equine flu virus has been found to jump species. Improving Security Of Handheld IT Devices
The National Institute of Standards and Technology has recently issued two reports aimed at making it harder for unauthorized users to access information from handheld devices such as personal digital assistants. The reports describe wireless authentication mechanisms and alternatives to standard-size smart cards for restricting access to these devices. New Immune Cell Found To Be A Key To Inflammatory Diseases
The molecular roots of inflammatory and autoimmune diseases such as asthma, arthritis, and multiple sclerosis (MS) have been discovered by a team of researchers led by The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center. They say their findings may point to ways to effectively treat these diseases - if not stop them before they start. Smoking Turns On Genes -- Permanently
Smoking tobacco is no longer considered sexy, but it may prove a permanent turn on for some genes. Research could help explain why former smokers are still more susceptible to lung cancer than those who have never smoked. Quest For A New Class Of Superconductors
Fifty years after the Nobel-prize winning explanation of how superconductors work, scientists are suggesting another mechanism for the still-mysterious phenomenon and exploring new superconductor candidates. Among the classes of materials that appear capable of superconductivity without phonons are the so-called heavy electron superconductors, certain organic materials, and the copper oxide materials that superconduct at up to twice the temperature at which nitrogen liquefies. Study Finds Overall Health And Quality Of Life Intact 10 Years After S
Survivors of stem-cell transplantation for blood cancers can expect to be just about as healthy 10 years later as adults who have never had a transplant, according to a new study by researchers at Fred Hutchinson Research Cancer Center.
