Magnetic Needles Turn Somersaults: Researchers Discover New Possibilit
Scientists at the Max Planck Institute of Metals Research in Stuttgart have discovered a new mechanism with which it is possible to use weak magnetic fields to reverse tiny magnetic structures, called vortex cores, quickly and with no losses. Up until now, very strong magnetic fields have been necessary to accomplish this, requiring highly complex technology. The new method might open up new possibilities for magnetic data storage. Neurological Disease Raises Risk Of Complications From Flu
As another flu season approaches, patients with neurological and neuromuscular disease are especially vulnerable to respiratory failure caused by influenza. Researchers from The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia identified this high-risk group of patients, who have recently been added to the list of groups for whom the federal government recommends receiving annual influenza vaccine.

Did The Great Depression Have A Silver Lining? Life Expectancy Increas
The Great Depression had a silver lining: during that hard time, US life expectancy actually increased by 6.2 years, according to a new study. Low Birth Weight And Childhood Abuse Linked To Psychological Problems
A recent study by Mount Sinai School of Medicine (MSSM) finds children born with low birth weight (LBW) who suffered child abuse are substantially more likely to develop psychological problems such as depression and social dysfunction in adolescence and adulthood. The study, appearing in the Feb. 5, 2007, issue of the Archives of Pediatric &Adolescent Medicine, is the first to investigate the possible interaction between LBW and later adversity. First Look At An Enzyme Target For Antibacterial And Cancer Drugs
The veil has finally been lifted on an enzyme that is critical to the process of DNA transcription and replication, and is a prime target of antibacterial and anticancer drugs. Researchers have produced the first three-dimensional structural images of a DNA-bound Type II topoisomerase (topo II) that is responsible for untangling coiled strands of the chromosome during cell division.
