West Nile Virus'Spread Through Nerve Cells Linked To Serious Complicat
Scientists believe they have found an explanation for a puzzling and serious complication of West Nile virus infection. West Nile virus can enter a nerve cell, replicate and move on to infect other nearby nerve cells, according to new research. Living Metals
Using Synchrotron x-ray microbeams, a research team from the Max Planck Institute for Metals Research in Stuttgart and the ESRF has been able to observe for the first time that the microscopic structure of a crystalline material fluctuates in time. The results are published today in Science Express with the title: Scaling in the Time Domain: Universal Dynamics of Order Fluctuations in Fe3Al. Radio Waves Fire Up Nanotubes Embedded In Tumors, Destroying Liver Can
Cancer cells treated with carbon nanotubes can be destroyed by non-invasive radio waves that heat up the nanotubes while sparing untreated tissue, scientist have found. Doctors May Be Giving Wrong Dosage Of Adrenaline In An Emergency Becau
Doctors treating life-threatening emergencies such as allergy attacks may give the wrong dosage of adrenaline (epinephrine) because of confusing labeling. The amount of adrenaline contained in an ampoule is usually expressed as both a dose and a ratio on the label. The ratio requires doing arithmetic to figure out how much drug to give. Portable System Offers Dialysis Patients 'Liberating' Changes
A suitcase-sized machine tested at the Indiana University School of Medicine is making life easier for some patients undergoing rigorous dialysis for kidney failure. Crowded houses: Why our peripheral vision may not be as random as we t
As you read this, you may notice that the word directly in front of you is clear, but all the surrounding words are hard to make out. For most people, this effect is not a problem. However, for millions of people worldwide with eye disease, it can make everyday tasks such as reading or recognizing friends a challenge. Researchers have made new insights into this process. Statins, heart attacks, and a protection racket
Long-term treatment with statins help lower cholesterol and reduce heart attack and stroke incidence. But, it seems, GPs have not been prescribing enough as yet another benefit is now being touted in new research published today in the British Journal of Pharmacology. This latest study suggests this action only needs a few days of treatment, [...] NASA Flight Tests Unique Jumbo Jet; Plane's Airborne Telescope Will Be
A NASA jumbo jet that will help scientists unlock the origins of the universe with infrared observations reached a milestone Dec. 18 when doors covering the plane's telescope were fully opened in flight. Quality Counts 2007: From Cradle to Career: Connecting American Educat
