[Ironic] LONDON: A jailed cocaine dealer is working as Santa Claus on
John Tams, who dons beard, boots and red suit to work in a cafe's Christmas grotto, said he wanted to give something back to the community... Before or after birth, gene linked to mental health has different effe
Scientists have long eyed mutations in a gene known as DISC1 as a possible contributor to schizophrenia and mood disorders, including depression and bipolar disorder. Now, new research suggests that perturbing this gene during prenatal periods, postnatal periods or both may have different effects in mice, leading to separate types of brain alterations and behaviors with resemblance to schizophrenia or mood disorders. Epstein-Barr Virus Protein Crucial To Its Role In Blood Cancers
Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine have identified a link between a critical cancer pathway and an Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) protein known to be expressed in a number of EBV-associated cancers. Their findings demonstrate a new mechanism by which EBV transforms human B cells from the immune system into cancerous cells, which can lead to development of B-cell lymphomas. How the IPod Came to Be
Using foam core and old fishing weights to craft a model of a new MP3 player five years ago, Apple engineers usher in the age of the iPod. By Steven Levy from Wired magazine. Link Between Carbohydrate Quality And Vision Loss Is Strengthened By N
People consuming diets with a higher glycemic index than average were at greater risk of developing advanced age-related macular degeneration, report researchers. The researchers suggest that twenty percent of cases of advanced age-related macular degeneration might have been prevented if individuals had consumed a diet with a glycemic index below average. Drug Interactions: What You Should Know
Fact sheet about drug interactions (drug-drug, drug-food/beverage, drug-condition), which "may make your drug less effective, cause unexpected side effects, or increase the action of a particular drug. Some drug interactions can even be harmful to you."Includes a section on reading labels on over-the-counter (OTC) medicines, and examples of drug interaction warnings. From the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Novel Gate Dielectric Materials: Perfection Is Not Enough
For the first time theoretical modeling has provided a glimpse into how promising dielectric materials are ableto trap charges, something which may affect the performance of advanced electronic devices. Chemistry Turns Killer Gas Into Potential Cure
Despite its deadly reputation, the gas carbon monoxide could actually save lives and boost health in future as a result of leading-edge UK research. The researchers have developed innovative water-soluble molecules which, when swallowed or injected, safely release small amounts of CO inside the human body. Effects Of Pediatric Brain Tumors And Their Treatment Haunt Survivors
Children who survive brain cancer struggle for years with the malevolent echo of the disease and its treatment, according to a new study from the Stanford University School of Medicine and Lucile Packard Children's Hospital. Nearly one-third of former brain tumor patients require special education services, and many suffer from chronic headaches, nausea and seizures. Only about half of those old enough to drive do so. 3-D Imaging Goes Ballistic
Government-funded research produces new gun-fingerprinting technology that can analyze and compare 3-D images of spent rounds. Luke O'Brien reports from Washington, D.C.
