Forsyth Scientists Find Three Bacteria Associated With Oral Cancer; En
Scientists at the Forsyth Institute have found that three bacterial species are associated with the most common form of oral cancer -- a discovery the researchers hope will lead to a simple diagnostic test for the often-fatal disease. Overfishing In Inland Waters Reduces Biodiversity And Threatens Health
Overfishing of fresh waters occurs worldwide but is largely unrecognized because of weak reporting and because other pressures can obscure fishery declines. Threats to freshwater fisheries and associated biodiversity have received scant attention from conservation groups and the media but have serious implications for human welfare, especially in devoloping countries. [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. A Measure of Truth
How strong is that hurricane? How deep is a coma? Humans love to parse things and here are some of the cool scales we use to codify things on the planet. By Lucas Graves from Wired magazine. Database Pioneer's Privacy Fears
The man who helped establish Britain's DNA database says it now poses a threat to civil liberties because the police have filled it with samples taken from people who have no business being in there. Google Patent Search Yields Gems
Look up the Wright Brothers' airplane drawings or investigate Tesla's electrical innovation proposals and Tom Edison's incandescent patents. Send us results of your favorite searches. In Gear Factor. Doctors Closer To Using Gene Analysis To Help Trauma Patients
A genetic tool with the potential to identify which trauma and burn patients are most likely to become seriously ill has worked consistently in a wide range of experimental clinical settings -- an important hurdle to overcome before the method is routinely used in emergency rooms and intensive care units. Human Genome Project Information
"Completed in 2003, the Human Genome Project (HGP) was a 13-year project coordinated by the U.S. Department of Energy and the National Institutes of Health."This site provides background and updates on the project (data analysis is ongoing). Topics include medical and genetic implications, and ethical, legal, and social issues. Also includes material for teachers and students. From the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science, Office of Biological and Environmental Research, Human Genome Program. Benefits And Risks Of Fitting Patients With Radiofrequency Identificat
In 2004, the United States Food and Drug Administration approved a radiofrequency identification device that is implanted under the skin of the upper arm of patients and that stores the patient's medical identifier. What are the benefits and risks of patients getting fitted with such an RFID chip? Researchers 'Wire' DNA To Identify Mutations
A team of ASU researchers led by Nongjian Tao and Peiming Zhang has developed a new, breakthrough technique for the detection of DNA mutations.Their results, published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, demonstrate for the first time, the possibility of directly identifying these mutations, or single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), by means of measuring the electrical conductance of a single DNA molecule.
