Over-the-counter Pain Medications May Reduce Risk Of Parkinson's Disea
Over-the-counter pain medications known as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs may reduce a person's risk of Parkinson's disease, according to a new article. Skull Study Sheds Light On Dinosaur Diversity
With their long necks and tails, sauropod dinosaurs -- famous as the Sinclair gasoline logo and Fred Flintstone's gravel pit tractor -- are easy to recognize, in part because they all seem to look alike. The largest animals known to have walked the earth, sauropods were common in North America during the middle of the dinosaur era but were thought to have been pushed to extinction by more specialized plant-eaters at the end of that era. New discoveries, however, are showing that one lineage of sauropods diversified at the end of the dinosaur era, University of Michigan paleontologist Jeffrey Wilson says. New Way To Predict Death Risk From Torn Aorta
Each year, thousands of Americans suffer a sudden tear in the body's largest blood vessel, the aorta. It's often misdiagnosed, can kill if not treated immediately, and survivors face a high and unpredictable risk of dying. Now, a new study points to a new way to predict which patients are most at risk, and introduces a new model to explain why. Erectile Dysfunction Linked To Smoking
Men who smoke cigarettes run an increased risk of experiencing erectile dysfunction, and the more cigarettes smoked, the greater the risk, according to a new study. ESA's Mars Express Sees Signs Of A 'Frozen Sea'
A new image, taken by the High Resolution Stereo Camera (HRSC) on board ESA's Mars Express spacecraft, shows what appears to be a dust-covered frozen sea near the Martian equator. Rat Spinal Cord Image Archive

From the University of California, Los Angeles. Endocannabinoids -- The Brain's Cannabis -- Demonstrate Novel Modes Of
Research teams from Louisiana, Japan and Scotland report on endocannabinoids as a novel neural messenger in various stress-related situations with possible applications in eating, disease treatment and social behavior. The Tulane/LSU team found that endocannabinoids acted as an intrabrain messenger to shutdown the neuroendocrine stress response. The Japanese team said it next would look at endocannabinoids involvement in autonomic, endocrine and immune function. The Edinburgh group is studying endocannabinoids' influence on oxytocin and social behavior. A cell's 'cap' of bundled fibers could yield clues to disease
Research engineers have discovered that in healthy cells, a bundled "cap" of thread-like fibers holds the cell's nucleus in its proper place. Ladder-walking locusts use vision to climb, show big brains aren't alw
Scientists have shown for the first time that insects, like mammals, use vision rather than touch to find footholds. They made the discovery thanks to high-speed video cameras that they used to film desert locusts stepping along the rungs of a miniature ladder. The study sheds new light on insects' ability to perform complex tasks, such as visually guided limb control, usually associated with mammals.
