Light To Moderate Drinking Reduces Risk Of Cardiac Events, Death
Older adults who consume one to seven alcoholic beverages a week may live longer and have a reduced risk for cardiac events than those who do not drink -- an association that appears independent of the anti-inflammatory effects of alcohol, according to a report in the July 24 issue of Archives of Internal Medicine, one of the JAMA/Archives journals. Tracing Marijuana To Its Roots: Scientists Seek Marijuana's Isotopic F
Scientists at the Alaska Stable Isotope Facility can tell whether marijuana confiscated in a traffic stop in Fairbanks likely came from Mexico or the Matanuska Valley. They're also working on a way to determine whether it was grown indoors or out. A few more years and enough samples and they hope to have something even more precise: an elemental fingerprint that could tell police where and under what conditions a sample of marijuana was grown. Teamwork Between Two Key Proteins Necessary For Normal Development And
Researchers studying hemoglobin genes, mutations of which play a role in genetic blood disorders like sickle cell anemia and beta-thalassemia, have identified two proteins that are responsible for regulating overlapping groups of genes during the development of red blood cells. Urban Britain Is A Recipe For Heart Disease
Researchers at The University of Manchester's Medical School, working with teams in India and Birmingham, have found that people moving from South Asia to the UK significantly increase their risk of contracting cardiovascular disease (CVD). Discovery Could Help In The Development Of Sensors Against Chemical Th
Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs), which could play an important role in developing sensors against chemical threats, have enhanced interaction with ammonia because of the presence of oxygen groups on the nanotubes, researchers at Temple University have discovered. Newly Discovered Immune Defense May Be Impaired In Cystic Fibrosis Air
A recent University of Iowa study reveals a new immune defense mechanism in normal airways and may help explain why people with cystic fibrosis are particularly susceptible to bacterial lung infections. The findings also may point the way to new approaches for treating the disease. Scientists Find Mutations That Let Bird Flu Adapt To Humans
By comparing influenza viruses found in birds with those of the avian virus that have also infected human hosts, researchers have identified key genetic changes required for pandemic strains of bird flu. Cedars-Sinai Researchers Demonstrate A New Way To Switch Therapeutic G
A gene therapy research team at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center has developed a new method of signaling therapeutic genes to turn "off"or "on,"a mechanism that could enable scientists to fine-tune genetic- and stem cell-based therapies so that they are safer, more controllable and more effective. Graphite warms to superconductivity
Graphite, the layered form of carbon, is not normally a superconductor. But, if you slip a few metal ions in between the sheets it behaves very differently... Australian Company Reports Progress In Development Of Testosterone Lot
Acrux Limited, the Australian pharmaceutical company which specialises in administering drugs through the skin, today announced positive results from two more clinical studies of its Testosterone MD-Lotion® treatment for testosterone deficiency in men.
