Coaching For Doctor Office Visits Helps Patients Ask Right Questions
Asking more questions during a visit to the doctor might help patients get care that is more satisfactory, but many patients are not sure where to start. A new review of 33 studies found that giving patients question checklists or providing in-office coaching can help them ask more questions of their health care provider and get more information that is useful -- often extending the length of the consultation as well. Mayo Clinic Identifies Key Cellular Process In Prostate And Other Canc
Mayo Clinic researchers are the first to identify an interaction between two cellular proteins -- Skp2 and FOXO1 -- that is important for the growth and survival of cancer cells. Researchers also show that this interaction can be chemically reversed to stop cancer tumor growth -- a strategy that may lead to new and better cancer treatments. Fruit &Nut Research and Information Center: Almond
This site features a collection of publications related to almonds as an agricultural crop. Topics include almond varieties, the almond production process, pests and diseases, and production economics. From the Department of Pomology, University of California, Davis. Rocker Pens Interplanetary Drama
David Grinspoon spends his life singing and writing about the search for extraterrestrial life. Guess what subject his new miniseries for the Sci Fi Channel will explore? By Lucas Graves for Wired magazine. Darwin Day Celebrates Science
A little-known festival turns Charles Darwin's birthday into an international tribute to the glories of scientific thought. By Wired News staff. Black Hole Boldly Goes Where No Black Hole Has Gone Before
Astronomers have found a black hole where few thought they could ever exist, inside a globular star cluster. The finding has broad implications for the dynamics of stars clusters and also for the existence of a still-speculative new class of black holes called 'intermediate-mass' black holes. Newly Discovered Properties Of Certain Crystals Could Impact The Minia
The dashing start of electrons in a crystal does not remain without consequences for their further fate. Researchers examined the ultrafast movement of electrons in a gallium arsenide crystal exposed for a short time to a very high electrical field. This conceptually new experiment shows for the first time a collective, oscillatory motion of the electrons with ultrahigh frequency, which arises additionally to the well-known drift motion of these particles. This newly discovered effect could play an important role in connection with the miniaturization of electronic devices. Study Finds Research Participants Concerned About Genetic Discriminati
A new study -- the largest to date of public attitudes about genetic discrimination -- finds that 40 percent of people already undergoing genetic testing are worried that participation might affect their future insurance coverage. Slippery When Wet: Fluids Race Through Nearly Frictionless Carbon Nano
Within the cells of our bodies, fluids flow rapidly through miniscule, nearly frictionless, protein channels. Until now, human-made nanoscale structures have not been able to mimic those same speeds because the fluids flow slowly along the walls of the tiny structures. Researchers have now found that carbon nanotubes only 7 billionths of a meter in diameter can channel many fluids nearly friction free. Alzheimer's Drug Improves Memory Of MS Patients
Taking a drug used for Alzheimer's disease may improve the memory of people with multiple sclerosis (MS), according to a study published in the November 9 issue of Neurology, the scientific journal of the American Academy of Neurology.
