Fish Oil May Be Good Supplemental Treatment For Lupus, Study Suggests
Omega-3 fish oils may benefit lupus activity as well as cardiovascular effects for patients with lupus, according to new research. Systemic lupus erythematosus (also called SLE or lupus) is a chronic inflammatory disease that can affect the skin, joints, kidneys, lungs, nervous system, and other organs of the body. Sensing Bacteria In The Gut Keeps Inflammation At Bay
New data generated in mice has provided support for the hypothesis that defects in the innate immune system might underlie some cases of inflammatory bowel disease -- a group of disorders characterized by inflammation in the intestine. In the study, mice lacking a protein known as TLR5 (which senses the bacterial protein flagellin and initiates a proinflammatory response) were found to spontaneously develop inflammation of the colon (colitis), whereas normal mice did not spontaneously develop this disease. Nanotubes Can Detect And Repair Cracks In Aircraft Wings, Other Struct
Researchers have developed a simple new technique for identifying and repairing small, potentially dangerous cracks in high-performance aircraft wings and many other structures made from polymer composites. Once a crack is located, engineers can use a simple new method to seal the crack with a 70 percent recovery in strength. Major Study Links Chronic Noise Exposure To Risk Of Heart Attacks
Research published online in European's leading cardiology journal, European Heart Journal, links exposure to chronic noise with an increased risk of heart attack. And the risk, in the main, seems more to do with the physiological effect of the noise rather than any stress it causes, although there are some differences in effect between men and women. [Ironic] LONDON: A jailed cocaine dealer is working as Santa Claus on
John Tams, who dons beard, boots and red suit to work in a cafe's Christmas grotto, said he wanted to give something back to the community... Documentary: Inside the Living Body Delivers Organ Porn
Perfect for a culture obsessed with its innards, a new documentary dispenses with all the plot nonsense of CSIand House. One high-def shot after another of visceral video -- cold beer flowing down a man's gullet, or a teen's muscle-and-bone growth spurt -- show beauty is more than skin deep. Engineers Hope To Build Better Roads By Using Ethanol Co-products
Lab tests are planned to determine whether lignin, a co-product of ethanol produced from plant fiber, could be mixed with soil to improve soil strength in roadbeds. Summer Safety Tips
Find safety tips for activities such as surfing, diving, and boating; sun and heat exposure; and hiking and camping. Includes an interactive quiz. From the American Red Cross. Astronomers' First Direct Evidence: Young Low-mass Objects Are Twice A
Although mass is the most important property of stars, it has proved very hard to measure for the lowest mass objects in the universe. Thanks to a powerful new camera, a very rare, low-mass companion has finally been photographed. Disoriented T Cells Cause Liver Disease
T cells activated in the gut during inflammatory bowel disease can be re-routed to the liver and cause chronic liver disease, according to Eksteen and colleagues in the December 1 issue of The Journal of Experimental Medicine.
