Climate Change And Disease Ecology
Climate change complicates everything. In addition to the much-talked about sea-level rise and its possible consequences, climate change has been implicated in the recent emergence of several infectious diseases. Drawing from a wide range of case studies that illustrate the potential effects of climate on disease dynamics, a series of presentations to be held at the joint meeting of the Ecological Society of America and the Society for Ecological Restoration will showcase what scientists are discovering about the links between climate and disease. Chasing the Sun

What happens when you fall into quicksand? How was electricity discovered? Why does water spin one way and not the other? The answers might surprise you. By Aria Pearson from Wired magazine. Ovarian Cancer Does Have Early Warning Signs, Mayo Clinic And Olmsted
Results from an Olmsted Medical Center and Mayo Clinic study analyzing symptoms recorded in the medical records of ovarian cancer patients suggest ovarian cancer, long considered asymptomatic until late-stage cancer develops, does in fact have early symptoms, including urinary incontinence and abdominal pain. For Carnivorous Plants, Slow But Steady Wins The Race
The existence of carnivorous plants has fascinated botanists and non-botanists alike for centuries and raises the question, "Why are some plants carnivorous?" By measuring the construction cost of carbon needed to create these plant structures and comparing it to the payback time, researchers were able to determine how beneficial a trap might be to a plant. How Many Black Holes Are There In The Universe?
Astronomers using ESA's orbiting gamma-ray observatory, Integral, have taken an important step towards estimating how many black holes there are in the Universe. Selective Marker Found To Indicate Aggressive Form Of Breast Cancer
Researchers have linked a structural protein called nestin to a particularly deadly form of breast cancer, identifying a new biomarker that could lead to earlier detection and better treatment. Feds Want Telco Spy Suits Halted
Pressing a judge to stop suits against top telecoms, the government cites national security. Plaintiffs argue everybody knows the government spies on Americans, so suits should carry on. In 27B Stroke 6. Early Stage Breast-Cancer Rates Are Rising Sharply As Rates Of Invasiv
Since 1980, the incidence of ductal carcinoma in situ, or DCIS, one of the most common kinds of early stage breast cancer, has increased more than sevenfold. This sharp increase in DCIS -- which is a tumor that contains cancer-like cells but is not considered "true"cancer because the cells have not invaded normal breast tissue - has been accompanied by a flattening in the incidence of true invasive breast cancer. Researchers Confirm Increasing Risk For Heart Failure In Aging U.S. Po
A report published in the July issue of The American Journal of Medicine suggests that heart failure is an important clinical syndrome affecting residents a large northeast community. Several groups at high risk for developing or dying from heart failure can be identified and targeted for preventive efforts as well as for the receipt of effective treatment modalities.
