Visceral Leishmaniasis: Successful Vaccine Trial In Dogs
Visceral leishmaniasis, which is the most severe form of that group of diseases, affects 500,000 people in the world each year. In the most heavily affected areas, the dog population is hit heavily by infection. It acts as parasite reservoir for humans. A prevention treatment has just been tested successfully on dogs by an IRD team in Montpellier, in conjunction with the Rocher veterinary clinic (La Garde, Var) and the biopharmaceutical company Bio Véto Test (La Seyne-Sur-Mer, Var). Shift working aggravates metabolic syndrome development among middle-a
Metabolic syndrome management is an important health issue in modern workplaces. In terms of workplace health management, both hazard exposures and the baseline health condition of workers should be evaluated. A five-year follow-up study for metabolic syndrome development was conducted in Taiwan for male workers. A significant association between shift work exposure and development of metabolic syndrome was found among male workers. Acoustic 3-D Imaging Unveils Swimming Behavior Of Microscopic Ocean Pl
Below the ocean's surface, currents sweep microscopic animals called zooplankton into patches or clusters. The survival of predatory ocean animals like fish and whales--as well as the success of human fishers--can depend on finding those clusters of zooplankton and the larger animals that feed on them. Scientists long have suspected that the clusters form when zooplankton swim against ocean currents, but researchers have never had a way to track the motions of these miniscule sea creatures.

Although it's unclear why it's so, scientists at Johns Hopkins have linked a gene that allows for the chemical breakdown of the tough, protective casing that houses insects and worms to the severe congestion and polyp formation typical of chronic sinusitis. Study Shows New Method Of Growth Hormone Dosing Improves Height
A randomized UCLA study found that a new dosing paradigm can improve height outcomes in the treatment of children who have short stature due to growth hormone deficiency and idiopathic short stature. 25 Scientific musos or 25 musical scientists
Science is fun, but there are times when even the most dedicated begoggled labcoat wearing bench monkey has to relax and lots of science types seem particularly drawn to playing music. Now, I’m not saying any of these people are bench monkeys, but they do all play music, as far as I know:harpistkat Kat ArneyLondonHarpist, [...]25 Scientific musos or 25 musical scientists is a post from: Sciencebase Science Blog Learning Each Other's Languages: L.V.
