Cold Treatment Protects Against Infant Disability And Death From Oxyge
Lowering infants' body temperature to about 92 degrees Fahrenheit within the first 6 hours of life reduces the chances of disability and death among full term infants who failed to receive enough oxygen or blood to the brain during birth. This finding was reported by researchers in the Neonatal Research Network of the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, one of the National Institutes of Health. Global Study Concludes 'Attack Rate' Of Flu In Kids Is 55 Percent Lowe

Scientists sure know how to have fun, Iain “Beaker” Larmour and Lauren “Comical Flasks” Rutherford of QUB, in Norther Ireland, square up for the match of the century playing micro mechanical hockey on a super water repellent, a superhydrophobic, material, that makes a duck’s back look positively damp.There is a serious objective to this work. [...] Novel 3-D Cell Culture Model Shows Selective Tumor Uptake Of Nanoparti
A novel cell culture model consisting of an aggregate of brain tumor cells growing on normal thin slices of brain tissue has been developed to investigate tumor properties and therapy. The tumor cells showed a similar invasion pattern to that seen when growing in patients. When nanoparticles made from a new type of polymer were added to the co-culture, the nanoparticles were taken up more by the tumor cells than the normal brain cells. Pleasant Odors Can Be Predicted By Molecular Structure
While our perceptions of sights and sounds are known to be based on physical phenomena -- waves'lengths and frequencies -- no such objective basis had been found for the sense of smell. New research reveals that our brains may be hard-wired to perceive smells as more or less pleasant based on variations in the chemical structure of odor molecules. Voter I.D. Requirements Reduce Political Participation, Study Finds
