NASA's Swift Satellite Finds Newborn Black Holes
Scientists using NASA's Swift satellite say they have found newborn black holes, just seconds old, in a confused state of existence. The holes are consuming material falling into them while somehow propelling other material away at great speeds. MedlinePlus: Menopause
Compilation of links to resources on menopause, the biological process that occurs when menstruation ends for women. Links address menopause symptoms (such as hot flashes), hormone replacement therapy and other treatments for menopause symptoms, and related health topics. From the National Library of Medicine (NLM) and the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Prescription Labels Geared Toward Pharmacies, Not Patients
The labels on most prescription drug containers highlight the pharmacy's name or logo rather than instructions on how to take the medication, reports a new study. All of the labels listed the pharmacy name first, and instructions appeared fifth on 89 percent of labels. When color font or boldface was present, it was most often for pharmacy information rather than for instructions or warnings. Strawberry Latent Ringspot Virus Found In North America
Strawberry latent ringspot virus, a problem for the past 30 to 40 years in Europe, has just been discovered in North America by Agricultural Research Service (ARS) scientists and cooperators. New Report Says Human Tampering Threatens Planet's Life-sustaining Sur
In a new report, scientists call for a new systematic study of the Earth's "critical zone"-- the life-sustaining outermost surface of the planet, from the vegetation canopy to groundwater and everything in between. Understanding and predicting responses to global and regional change is necessary, they say, to mitigate the impacts of humans on complex ecosystems and ultimately sustain food production. Prostate Cancer Patients See High Survival Rates With Seed Implants
More than 90 percent of men who receive appropriate radiation dose levels with permanent radiation seed implants to treat their prostate cancer are cured of their cancer eight years after diagnosis, according to a study released in the February 1 issue of the International Journal for Radiation Oncology*Biology*Physics, the official journal of ASTRO. Red Alert: Wild Strawberries May Reduce Cancer Risk
We've all seen the term "super food"used to describe those nutrition-loaded edibles that promote health and discourage disease. Powerhouse foods high in antioxidants and phytochemicals that block the development of cancer cells have been touted as nature's way to fight off the potentially devastating disease. Desert Pathfinder At Work: Sub-millimetre APEX Telescope Inaugurated
The Atacama Pathfinder Experiment (APEX) project celebrates the inauguration of its outstanding 12-m telescope, located on the 5100 m high Chajnantor plateau in the Atacama Desert (Chile). The APEX telescope, designed to work at sub-millimetre wavelengths, in the 0.2 to 1.5 mm range, passed successfully its Science Verification phase in July, and since then is performing regular science observations. This new front-line facility provides access to the "Cold Universe"with unprecedented sensitivity and image quality. Small Papillary Thyroid Cancer Is Not Without Risk
Patients with micropapillary thyroid cancer--small tumors equal to or less than 1 centimeter--and tumors even smaller, less than 1 millimeter (mm)--are more common and not without a risk as previously thought, according to a new study. This is contrary to the widely perceived belief that small papillary thyroid cancers are clinically insignificant and don't require active treatment. Papillary is the most common type of thyroid cancer, accounting for about 80% of all thyroid cancers. Cutting Greenhouse Gases: Biofuels That Don't Involve Food Crops Or Mi
A new research effort involving three University of California campuses and West Biofuels LLC, will develop a prototype research reactor that will use steam, sand and catalysts to efficiently convert forest, urban, and agricultural "cellulosic"wastes that would otherwise go to landfills into alcohol that can be used as a gasoline additive.
