A type of scintigraphy scan may help clinicians properly diagnose and then treat two forms of cardiac amyloidosis, a rare type of heart failure caused by abnormal protein deposition in the heart, according to a new study. A Blueprint For 'Smart'Health Care
Always on, connected, cheap and on sale everywhere. What people have come to expect in cell phones and personal communicators, may soon become common in health-care devices, products at home and in medical offices. Triple-Drug Therapy Promising Against African HIV Subtype
Triple-drug antiretroviral regimens that are widely used in the United States and Europe against one HIV-1 subtype appear to be effective in South African patients infected with a different HIV-1 subtype who also have tuberculosis (TB) or Kaposi's sarcoma (KS), according to a study published in the Feb.1 issue of The Journal of Infectious Diseases, now available online. High Blood Pressure In Kids Linked With Sleep Breathing Problems
Children with high blood pressure may be at risk for sleep breathing disorders, according to a small study reported at the American Heart Association's 60th Annual Fall Conference of the Council for High Blood Pressure Research. Calculating Consonants: Researchers Identify A Key To How The Brain Pr
Speech is not just a series of sounds; speech also elicits a series of representations, such as syllables, vowels, or consonants, which our brains identify as such from the very early onset of language acquisition. Listening involves a kind of statistical computation based on the fact that it is more probable that certain sounds follow particular syllables. How Do You Simulate Space Junk Hitting a Rocket? A 45-Foot-Long BB Gun
Inside a physics lab at the University of Dayton Research Institute BBs are fired at 20,500 mph at spaceships. Sort of. The goal is to test the mettle of the composite fabric or aluminum skins on orbit-bound spacecraft. First Planet Under Three Suns Is Discovered
An extrasolar planet under three suns has been discovered in the constellation Cygnus by a planetary scientist at the California Institute of Technology using the 10-meter Keck I telescope in Hawaii. The planet is slightly larger than Jupiter and, given that it has to contend with the gravitational pull of three bodies, promises to seriously challenge our current understanding of how planets are formed. Super-thin Membrane, 50 Atoms Thick, Sorts Individual Molecules
A newly designed porous membrane, so thin it's invisible edge-on, may revolutionize the way doctors and scientists manipulate objects as small as a molecule. The 50-atom thick filter can withstand surprisingly high pressures and may be a key to better separation of blood proteins for dialysis patients, speeding ion exchange in fuel cells, creating a new environment for growing neurological stem cells, and purifying air and water in hospitals and clean-rooms at the nanoscopic level. Turkish Plant Oils Are Lethal To Vegetable Pest
