Ketamine Reduces Suicidality In Depressed Patients, Study Suggests
Drug treatment options for depression can take weeks for the beneficial effects to emerge, which is clearly inadequate for those at immediate risk of suicide. However, intravenous (IV) ketamine, a drug previously used as an anesthetic, has shown rapid antidepressant effects in early trials.

Plenty Of Nothing: A Hole New Quantum Spin
Scientists have created a tiny quantum wire that carries an electric current by exploiting the gaps -- or holes - between electrons. The holes can be thought of as real quantum particles that have an electrical charge and a spin. They exhibit remarkable quantum properties and could lead to a new world of super-fast, low-powered transistors and powerful quantum computers.

Say Again? Speakers Can Avoid Confusion For Listeners, Researchers Fin
People often fail to avoid ambiguities when they speak. Previous research has shown that speakers choose their sentences based, in part, on how easy those sentences are to produce for themselves while not taking ease of comprehension into account. An ambiguous phrase is often easier to construct than an unambiguous one, so some people will speak ambiguously even if they are likely to be misunderstood.

New Microwave Technology Can Be Safely Applied To Cancerous Lung Tumor
A cancer treatment that uses microwave energy to shrink or eliminate tumors can be safely used to treat malignant lung tumors, according to a new study. Similar to radiofrequency ablation, microwave ablation is a minimally invasive, image-guided technique that uses heat generated by microwave energy to destroy tumors.

What Makes Lymphomas Tick?
Researchers have discovered the molecular process by which the PAX5 protein, necessary for lymphocyte development, promotes the growth of common lymphomas, thereby unveiling a potential new target in the fight against cancer. In lymphomas, rather than facilitate an appropriate immune response, PAX5 locks the B cell division switch in the "on"position, regardless of exposure to antigens.
