Anti-drinking Campaign Ads May Be 'Catastrophically Misconceived'
Some anti-drinking advertising campaigns may be "catastrophically misconceived"because they play on the entertaining 'drinking stories'that young people use to mark their social identity, say researchers who have just completed a three year study of the subject. Advertisements that show drunken incidents, such as being thrown out of a nightclub, being carried home or passing out in a doorway, are often seen by young people as being a typical story of a 'fun'night out, rather than as a cautionary tale. San Andreas Fault Observatory At Depth Reveals New Insights Into The '
The San Andreas Fault Observatory at Depth (SAFOD) -- the first underground observatory to provide physical samples and real-time seismological data from deep inside an active fault zone -- is yielding surprising new clues about the origin of earthquakes. SAFOD scientists from around the world met to discuss these new findings recently at the annual meeting of the American Geophysical Union (AGU) at Moscone Center West in San Francisco. [Ironic] An Italian pensioner committed suicide after his wife fell in
Recalling the end of Romeo and Juliet, the 70-year-old man, Ettore, who had sat by his wife's bedside for four months after she slipped into a coma following a heart attack, finally gave up hope and gassed himself in the garage of his family home.Less than a day later, his wife, Rossana, woke up in her hospital bed in Padua and immediately asked for him. Uncovering DNA's 'Sweet' Secret
How nature arrived at the final structure of DNA has been a long-standing mystery. Recently, Vanderbilt University Medical Center researcher Martin Egli and colleagues reported the X-ray crystal structure of homo-DNA, an artificial analog of DNA containing a six-carbon sugar in the backbone instead of the usual five-carbon sugar. The structure provides key insights into why nature might have 'preferred' the five-carbon sugars. Minimally invasive surgery removes sinus tumor without facial disfigur
With the advances in sinus endoscopy, many tumors can now be removed directly through the nose, avoiding the need for facial incisions or a craniotomy. Complications are decreased and recovery is faster. Rants 'n' Raves: Monitor Me

Researchers at the Medical College of Wisconsin in Milwaukee in collaboration with a national team have developed a biodefense cocktail which activates the immune system against a broad range of viruses and bacteria. The new treatment boosts the body's response against common characteristics of germs. It is expected to be deployed to our troops within the next five years. Using a nasal spray, the cocktail of drugs will trigger immune activation in the respiratory and gastrointestinal tracts, the most likely routes of attack.

Neuron Cell Stickiness May Hold Key To Evolution Of The Human Brain
The stickiness of human neurons may have been a key factor in why the human brain evolved beyond the brains of our primate relatives. In a study comparing the genomes of humans, chimpanzees and other vertebrates, researchers at the US Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) and Joint Genome Institute (JGI) found a strikingly high degree of genetic differences in DNA sequences that appear to regulate genes involved in nerve cell adhesion molecules.
