Creatine In Addition To Exercise Enhances Strength In Older Adults
While exercise is a proven way to prevent the loss of muscle mass, a new study shows that taking a combination of creatine monohydrate and conjugated linoleic acid in addition to resistance exercise training provides even greater benefits. Military Builds Robotic Insects
Defense scientists in several countries are developing tiny flying robots that can hit the enemy with itsy-bitsy explosives. Critics worry that terrorists will adopt the nasty tech. By David Hambling. Advance In Understanding Of Blood Pressure Gene Could Lead To New Trea
Research by scientists at UCL (University College London) has clearly demonstrated for the first time the structure and function of a gene crucial to the regulation of blood pressure. The discovery could be important in the search for new treatments for illnesses such as heart disease. Biocontrol Of Invasive Water Hyacinth Contributes To Socioeconomic And
Scientists have implemented a successful bioeradication program of an invasive water weed in Africa's Lake Victoria. Two insect biocontrol species, weevils in the genus Neochetina, were used, along with mechanical removal, to control the highly invasive water hyacinth, which has also plagued waterways in the southern United States. Scientists Find Guardian Gene's Choices Crucial To Stopping Cancer Pro
Scientists at the Kimmel Cancer Center at Thomas Jefferson University have uncovered a novel pathway by which the anti-cancer gene p53 springs into action, protecting a damaged cell from becoming cancer. The gene can either halt the cell's growth or send it spiraling toward certain death. How this choice is made, the researchers say, could have implications for future strategies in chemotherapy drug development. Diplomacy Monitor: Hurricane Katrina
"Global output of communiqués, official statements, press briefings, position papers, interview transcripts and news releases from hundreds of diplomacy-related websites in near real-time"about Hurricane Katrina. Some of the documents are not in English. From the St. Thomas University School of Law in Florida. Overall Antarctic Snowfall Hasn't Changed In 50 Years
For an animated graphic of snowfall variability across Antarctica and over time and b-roll of the U.S. ITASE traverse on Betacam SP, contact Dena Headlee.The most precise record of Antarctic snowfall ever generated shows there has been no real increase in precipitation over the southernmost continent in the past half-century, even though most computer models assessing global climate change call for an increase in Antarctic precipitation as atmospheric temperatures rise. Prototype Just-in-time Medical Device Enables Untrained Bystanders To
Human factors/ergonomics researchers at the University of Utah have created a prototype device that could make it possible for anyone -- even those with no emergency medical training -- to perform life-saving actions for victims of sudden cardiac arrest. [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. Handicapping Tuberculosis May Be The Way To A Better Vaccine
Scientists have produced a genetically altered strain of tuberculosis, that elicits a stronger immune response than the current vaccine, bacillus Calmette-Guérin. The new vaccine improves survival of infected animals and may help put scientists on track to replace BCG, which has been used for nearly a century although it is largely ineffective.
