The Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH) Clinical Research Network has launched its second clinical trial to study NASH, a liver disease that resembles alcoholic liver disease but occurs in patients who drink little or no alcohol. The first trial, launched in January of this year, focuses on adults, while the second trial studies the disease in children. Detecting Anthrax Proteins At Ultralow Concentrations
A new laboratory method for quickly detecting active anthrax proteins within an infected blood sample at extremely low levels has been developed by researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases and the National Cancer Institute. The method takes about an hour to get unambiguous results compared to up to several days to get results with current techniques. 'Fat'Tax On Food Could Prevent 3,000 Heart Attack And Stroke Deaths Ev
Taxing certain foodstuffs in the UK could prevent up to 3,200 deaths from heart attacks and stroke every year, suggests a new study. Value Added Tax, charged at 17.5 percent, is already applied to confectionery, ice cream, savory snacks and most drinks. Six Previously Blind Patients Detect Light, Motion, Identify Objects W

FORT MITCHELL, Ky. - A pregnant woman who killed her attacker said a maternal instinct helped her fight off the woman who investigators believe was after her unborn child."I do believe that I fought harder because it was for my child,"Sarah Brady told ABC's "Good Morning America"in interviews aired Sunday and Monday. "It is a maternal instinct to protect your child to the very end."Katherine Smith, 22, died Thursday after luring Brady to her apartment to pick up a package supposedly delivered to the wrong address. When Smith pulled out a knife and attacked the pregnant woman, Brady fought back, striking Smith on the head with an ash tray and stabbing her three times with her own knife, police said. Brady, 26, said she didn't know Smith before the two met at Smith's apartment and can't be certain why Smith wanted to kill her."I really am not sure what was going through her mind,"Brady told ABC. "The only thing I thought was that she was going to kill me and my child and that is the only thing that ran through my mind." Breath Of The Dragon: ERS-2 And Envisat Reveal Impact Of Economic Grow
China's spectacular economic growth during the last decade has brought many benefits -- and some challenges. Global atmospheric mapping of nitrogen dioxide pollution performed by ERS-2's GOME and Envisat's SCIAMACHY reveals the world's largest amount of NO2 hanging above Beijing and northeast China, as reported in Nature this week.

Scientists have shown for the first time that key proteins involved in Alzheimer's disease are also implicated in glaucoma, the major cause of irreversible blindness worldwide. Research has also shown that novel drugs being trialed for Alzheimer's disease may be used to treat glaucoma. Super-heavy Nuclei Take Shape In 'Extreme' New Theories
Advanced computational methods and supporting experiments, including work performed at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory, are giving scientists a better understanding of the nature and stability of superheavy nuclei and the heaviest elements that lie beyond the borders of the periodic table. Low Levels Of Perchlorate Exposure Are Safe For Pregnant Women, Study
Despite great concerns that small amounts of ingested perchlorate -- a chemical which is ever-present in the environment -- decreases thyroid function among individuals, it has no effect on the thyroid function of women in early pregnancy, including those with a low-iodine diet, according to a new study. Thyroid hormone is critical for the neurodevelopment of a fetus--particularly in the first trimester of pregnancy--and requires the mother to receive an adequate intake of iodine.
