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. Deadly Wave: Researchers Learn From Analyses Of Rare Tsunami Earthquak
Analyses of a classic, slow-rupturing tsunami earthquake whose massive waves devastated the coast of Java, Indonesia, this past summer are providing insight to seismologists and engineers, who want to better understand these rare events, recommend strategies to improve safety and perhaps provide long-range forecasts of potential danger zones worldwide. Inflammation Elevates Risk Of Cardiac Death In Rheumatoid Arthritis Pa
Mayo Clinic epidemiologists have found that the systemic inflammation characterizing rheumatoid arthritis may be to blame for the increased risk of cardiovascular death in patients with the disease. Unique Huntington's Study Moves Forward
Doctors have completed the first step of a unique medical research study, evaluating 1,001 individuals at risk of developing Huntington's disease who do not know -- nor do they want to know -- whether they carry the genetic defect that causes the condition. New Chem-bio Sensors Offer Simultaneous Monitoring
Researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology and the Vienna University of Technology have developed a modular system that combines chemical and biological sensing tools capable of providing simultaneous, nano-level resolution information on cell topography and biological activity. The tools integrate micro and nanoscale electrodes into the tips of an atomic force microscope (AFM). A veritable Swiss army knife of sensors, the patented technique is currently being tested to combine other sensing methods to give scientists a more holistic view of cellular activities. Fuel Cell That Uses Bacteria To Generate Electricity
Researchers are using the tiniest organisms on the planet 'bacteria'as a viable option to make electricity. They have gained critical insights that may lead to commercialization of a promising microbial fuel cell technology. Why Are Danes The World's Happiest Nation?
Earlier this year, Denmark came top in a world map of happiness (the UK ranked 41st out of 178 nations). And for more than 30 years it has ranked first in European satisfaction surveys. So what makes Danes so content? Researchers in this week's Christmas issue of the British Medical Journal decided to find out why life satisfaction in Denmark substantially exceeds that in Sweden and Finland, the two countries most similar to Denmark. Testing For Joint Substance In Blood Might Improve Diagnosis Of Osteoa
Measuring a biological chemical called hyaluronan found naturally in joints and the fluid that lubricates cartilage might enable doctors to diagnose osteoarthritis of the knee and hip earlier or more accurately, a new study concludes. Improving diagnosis of the painful inflammatory disorder should become increasingly important as baby boomer age, doctors say. Clot-dissolving Agent May Be Beneficial In Treatment Of Severe Frostbi
A preliminary study suggests that a blood clot-dissolving medication that is administered to some patients following a stroke or heart attack may help to reduce the risk of amputation following severe frostbite, according to a recent article. Experimental Drug Shows Promise In Advanced Kidney Cancer
A new drug has shown promise in patients with advanced kidney cancer whose options run out after their tumor fails to respond to the cutting edge therapy. The study showed that the experimental drug, axitinib, shrank tumors and delayed progression of the disease in a group of patients who are among the toughest to treat.
