Test Can Predict Spread Of Eye Cancer To Liver
Scientists at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have developed a method to predict whether melanoma of the eye will spread to the liver, where it quickly turns deadly. They also believe the molecular screening test may one day help determine the prognosis of patients with some types of skin melanoma. Clues To Future Evolution Of HIV Come From African Green Monkeys
Monkey viruses related to HIV may have swept across Africa more recently than previously thought, according to research from the University of Arizona in Tucson. A new family tree for African green monkeys shows that simian immunodeficiency virus first infected those monkeys after the lineage split into four species. The new research reveals the split happened about 3 million years ago. Scientists had thought SIV infected an ancestor of green monkeys before the speciation event. Holier Than Thou? Employees Who Believe They Are 'Ethical'Or 'Moral'Mi

National Weather Service: Climate Prediction Center: Climate Assessmen
A collection of material providing a "technical review of global climate variations and their global impacts on seasonal and annual time scales."Includes topics such as north Atlantic hurricane seasons (NOAA forecasted "a 95%to 100%chance of an above-normal 2005 Atlantic hurricane season,"in August 2005), West and Midwest flooding, and heat and dryness in Europe. Also includes seasonal monitoring information. From the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). [Ironic] An Italian pensioner committed suicide after his wife fell in

Antibiotic Treatment For Children With Urinary Tract Infections Not As
The use of prophylactic antibiotics, which involves daily administration of antibiotics to children after an initial urinary tract infection, is not associated with reduced risk of recurrent urinary tract infections, but is associated with an increased risk of resistant infections, according to a new study. Lakes grow with permafrost
Alaska's North Slope is dotted with thousands of puzzling ovoid-shaped lakes that are among the fastest-growing lakes on the planet and have presented geological scientists with a conundrum for decades. New research now points the finger at seasonal warming of the permafrost for the lakes' unusual characteristics... 'Alert Status' Area In Brain Discoved: New Understanding Of Anesthesia
A new understanding of how anesthesia and anesthesia-like states are controlled in the brain opens the door to possible new future treatments of various states of loss of consciousness, such as reversible coma, according to scientists. Hypothermic Technique Being Tested To Treat Pediatric Head Injuries
Researchers are examining the effectiveness of induced hypothermia as a therapy for brain swelling in children who have suffered severe traumatic brain injuries. Patients selected to receive hypothermia therapy will be cooled to between 32 and 33 degrees Celsius (89 to 90 degrees Fahrenheit), using special cooling blankets and/or cooled saline given intravenously. In addition to normal emergency care, they will remain cooled for 48 hours while being closely monitored in the intensive care unit.
