Civilian Helicopter Crash-resistant Fuel Systems Could Be More Effecti
Researchers from the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health Center for Injury Research and Policy found that the crash-resistant standards for the fuel systems of civilian helicopters are not as effective in protecting passengers in survivable crashes as stricter military helicopter standards. First Molecular Evidence Of Body's Internal Clock In Controlling Blood
It has been known for decades that heart attacks and strokes occur most frequently in the early-morning hours. Now, researchers at Penn have provided the first evidence for the role of our body's internal molecular clock in controlling blood pressure and a mechanism by which this occurs. This report points to the novel possibility of modifying blood pressure and the early-morning risk of heart attack. UCLA Researchers Observe How The Immune System Recognizes And Responds
Using positron emission tomography (PET) imaging, researchers at UCLA's Jonsson Cancer Center were able to observe - in real time - how the immune system initially recognizes cancer and mobilizes to fight the disease. Facts for Features Special Edition: 50th Daytona 500
Collection of statistics related to the "50th running of the Daytona 500 on Feb. 17 [2008, which] is being billed as the 'most anticipated event in [auto] racing history.'"Features changes in population, prices, and trends from 1959 (when NASCAR's 200-lap, 500-mile stock-car race was first run at Daytona International Speedway in Florida) to 2008, and statistics for Daytona Beach, Florida, Deltona-Daytona Beach Metro Area, auto racing, and automobiles. From the U.S. Census Bureau. New Role For Well-known Protein: Could Lead To Lead To Alzheimer's, Pa
In a finding that may lead to potential new treatments for diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's, researchers report an unexpected role in the brain for a well-known protein. The new study shows that the same protein that enables a yeast cell to bud into two daughter cells also helps neurons sprout the branch-like protrusions used to communicate with other neurons. Possible Origins Of Pancreatic Cancer Revealed
Cancer biologists have identified a subpopulation of cells that can give rise to pancreatic cancer. They also found that tumors can form in other, more mature pancreatic cell types, but only when they are injured or inflamed, suggesting that pancreatic cancer can arise from different types of cells depending on the circumstances. Greenland's Ice Loss Accelerating Rapidly, Gravity-measuring Satellite
A new analysis of data from twin satellites has revealed that the melting of Greenland's ice sheet has increased dramatically in the past few years, with much of the loss occurring primarily along one shoreline potentially affecting weather in Western Europe. Air Quality In West Going South
By mid-century, air quality throughout the Western United States will deteriorate, according to a new EPA-funded computer simulation by the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory. Excess Weight And Adult Weight Gain Increase Risk Of Dying From Prosta
A new study finds that obesity increases the risk of death from prostate cancer, even though it does not increase the overall risk a man will be diagnosed with the disease. The study reveals that higher body mass index (BMI) and weight gain in adulthood correlated strongly with increased risk of death from prostate cancer. Young athletes need dual screening tests for heart defects, study sugg
To best detect early signs of life-threatening heart defects in young athletes, screening programs should include both popular diagnostic tests, not just one of them, according to new research from heart experts.
