Chronic Sinus Infection Thought To Be Tissue Issue, Mayo Clinic Scient Mayo Clinic researchers have found that the cause of chronic sinus infections lies in the nasal mucus -- the snot -- not in the nasal and sinus tissue targeted by standard treatment. Bats In Flight Reveal Unexpected Aerodynamics Brown University engineers and biologists have joined forces to record the fine details of wing and body movement in bat flight -- together with the patterns of air movement that generate lift. Similar measurements have been made in insects and some birds, but this is the first such data for bats, which are highly flexible and maneuverable flyers and a potential model for engineered micro air vehicles. Bergen-Belsen Memorial Official website for this memorial located in Bergen-Belsen, Germany, on the site of former Nazi prisoner-of-war (POW) and concentration camps during World War II. Includes details about the exhibition building opened in October 2007, a timeline and maps of Bergen-Belsen, and related information about the history of the camp where diarist Anne Frank died.

Many Americans Believe Unsubstantiated Claims About Cancer, Survey Fin A new study from American Cancer Society researchers finds a surprising number of Americans believe scientifically unsubstantiated claims concerning cancer, and that population segments suffering the greatest burden of cancer are the most likely to be misinformed. Saved By A Straw? Sipping Soft Drinks And Other Beverages Reduces Risk Americans drink roughly 576 soft drinks every year - about one and a half cans a day for everyone in the United States. Drinking these beverages places the people who may not follow proper oral hygiene techniques at a higher risk for cavities and other oral health problems. Patients Respond Well To New Minimally Invasive Treatment For Kidney T A new study confirms the success of a newer minimally invasive technique that uses heat to destroy kidney tumors. After reviewing the outcomes of 143 solid kidney masses treated with radiofrequency ablation (RFA) over a nine-year period at Rhode Island Hospital, researchers report that 137 of 143 tumors (96%) were successfully treated. Global Warming's Effects Extend To World's Smallest Butterfly A new study shows that human-induced global warming will accelerate the extinction of this species. Combination Therapy Stops Loss Of Kidney Function In Rare Genetic Dise A combination of two types of blood pressure-lowering drugs -- an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEI) plus an angiotensin-receptor blocker (ARB), added to enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) with agalsidase-beta -- is the first treatment shown to stop progressive loss of kidney function in patients with severe kidney involvement due to the rare genetic disorder Fabry disease, according to a new article. Permanent Deep-sea Seismic Sensors A submarine seismic sensor was recently set in place at 2400 m depth, off Toulon (France). The instrument was attached to a neutrino telescope developed by the international scientific programme Antares . For the first time in Europe, this sensor can send real-time deep-sea seismic activity data recorded for the region and for the whole world. Alzheimer's detection: What's his name again? How celebrity monikers c Famous mugs do more than prompt us into buying magazines, according to new research.
