New Method For Detecting Nitroxyl Will Boost Cardiac Drug Research
Scientists have developed a new research tool in the pursuit of heart medications based on the compound nitroxyl by identifying unique chemical markers for its presence in biological systems. Electron Self-injection Into An Evolving Plasma Bubble
A time-varying bubble of electron density in the wake of an ultra-intense laser pulse traps the ambient plasma electrons and accelerates them to high energy producing collimated monoenergetic beams for medical, technological, and physics applications. Health Effects Of 'Functional Foods' Featured During Four-day Symposiu
Scientists worldwide are discovering new and unexpected health benefits -- such as protection against heart disease and cancer -- from so-called "functional foods,"defined as those foods which provide health benefits beyond their basic nutritional value. More than 50 research papers on this topic will be presented during a four-day symposium, Sept. 10-13, in San Francisco at the national meeting of the of the American Chemical Society. Safety Of Childbirth After C-section Examined
The most definitive study to date of women who had previously undergone cesarean-section deliveries, but who later chose an attempt at vaginal delivery for subsequent births, shows that serious complications are possible, but that the absolute risk of these occurring is very small. Burden Of COPD Is Higher Than Thought And Will Increase As World Popul
Higher levels and more advanced stages of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) occur worldwide than previously thought. This burden will increase as the world's population continues to age, conclude authors of an article in The Lancet. The authors add that the growing COPD burden is partly due to the aging population (with risk nearly doubling for every 10 years over the age of 40), and partly due to continuing use of tobacco, which is the most important risk factor. The variation in COPD prevalence between men and women is due mostly to differences in smoking habits. Low levels of natural antibodies behind stroke
The chances of suffering a stroke are linked to the presence of a certain type of antibody in the immune system, a new study from Sweden shows. The researchers hope to be able to develop a vaccine that can mobilize the body's own defense against arteriosclerosis and stroke. Experimental Drug Shows Promise In Advanced Kidney Cancer
A new drug has shown promise in patients with advanced kidney cancer whose options run out after their tumor fails to respond to the cutting edge therapy. The study showed that the experimental drug, axitinib, shrank tumors and delayed progression of the disease in a group of patients who are among the toughest to treat. Regular Exercise Helps Protect Muscles In Elderly From Soreness, Injur
Researchers now have the physical evidence to show why it's important for older people to exercise. And it comes with the discovery that, in aging racehorses, regular aerobic workouts decreased the prevalence of muscle damage that can be caused by exertion. [Ironic] Professional beggars prowling about the streets of Moroccan c
The government plans to crack down on the scam used by faux beggars in growing numbers for a kind of "emotional blackmail", a cabinet minister was quoted as saying... Superconducting holograms
X-ray holograms are helping researchers observe the effects of radiation on high-temperature superconductors.
