Astronomers Take Revealing Peek At Star Factory
Using NASA's orbiting Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer, a team of astronomers from The Johns Hopkins University and elsewhere has taken an unprecedented peek beneath the "skirts"of the tunic-clad Orion the Hunter and come away with observations that may lead to enhanced knowledge of how interstellar dust absorbs and scatters ultraviolet starlight. Actor-Patients' Requests For Medications Boost Prescribing For Depress
Researchers funded by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), part of the National Institutes of Health, have found that requests from patients for medications have a "profound effect"on physicians prescribing for major depression and adjustment disorder. Scripps Research Scientists Solve Structure Of A Critical Innate Immun
Scientists at The Scripps Research Institute have solved the structure of a crucial human immune system molecule called TLR3, an acronym for Toll-like receptor three. In an upcoming issue of the journal Science, the protein is described as a large horseshoe-shaped coil composed of 23 leucine-rich repeats (LRRs). Solar Power, Japanese Hair, X-Rays, and Winning SONS
This week, The Alchemist learns of awards to two chemists funded by the European Science Foundation and undertaking cutting edge multidisciplinary work in solar energy and liquid crystals.It turns out that when it comes to crystallography size no longer matters, thanks to developments in how well x-ray beams can be focused and the positioning of [...] Prostate Cancer Screening Has Yet To Prove Its Worth, Researchers Say
The recent release of two large randomized trials suggests that if there is a benefit of screening, it is, at best, small, says a new report. Zooming In To Catch The Bad Guys: New 'Perfection Tool' From Researche
It's a frequent scene in television crime dramas: Clever police technicians zoom in on a security camera video to read a license plate or capture the face of a hold-up artist. But in real life, enhancing this low-quality video to focus in on important clues hasn't been an easy task. Until now. Researchers in Israel have developed a new video "perfection tool" to help investigators enhance raw video images and identify suspects. Society of Interventional Radiology: Patients and Public
Information about the work of interventional radiologists, "doctors who use X-rays and other imaging techniques to 'see' inside the body while they guide narrow tubes (catheters) and other very small instruments through the blood vessels and other pathways of the body to the site of a problem."The site provides an overview of interventional radiology procedures, describes conditions and treatments, and includes a database of doctors. As the world churns: Earth's liquid outer core is slowly 'stirred' in
A new study confirms theories that Earth's liquid outer core is slowly "stirred" in a series of regularly occurring waves of motion that last for decades. Measurements of Earth's magnetic field from observatory stations on land and ships at sea were combined with satellite data to determine common patterns of movement within Earth's core. The findings give scientists new insights into Earth's internal structure, the mechanisms that generate its magnetic field, and its geology. New Brain Cells Listen Before They Talk
Newly-created neurons in adults rely on signals from distant brain regions to regulate their maturation and survival -- which has implications for using adult stem cells to replace those lost by trauma or neurodegeneration. Losing Sleep Over Heartburn? Treating Nighttime Heartburn Improves Sle
The first major multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial addressing therapy for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) related sleep disorders is published in the September issue of The American Journal of Gastroenterology.
