 Novel Way To Remove Iron From Ferritin Could Dramatically Improve Sick
A small protein or heptapeptide could be used to accelerate the removal of iron from ferritin, according to new research. The results of this study may help scientists develop new medications that dramatically improve the removal of excess iron in patients diagnosed with blood diseases such as B-Thalassemia (Cooley's anemia) or sickle cell disease. The Role of the Wildlife Rehabilitator in Disaster Preparedness and Re
This paper explores how government and private agencies help animals after a disaster, the problems wildlife can pose for disaster and relief workers, how disasters affect wild animals and what behavior can result, how wildlife rehabilitators fit "into the capture, medical care and temporary sheltering of wildlife,"and how to help the public avoid injury from and provide assistance to wild animals. From the disaster manager for the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS). Vaccination Of Nursing Home Staff, Residents, Key To Reducing Flu Outb
Potentially deadly influenza outbreaks in nursing homes are less likely to occur when large numbers of staff and residents get flu shots, according to a study issued today by the RAND Corporation. The study by the nonprofit research organization found that nursing homes were 60 percent less likely to have a cluster of influenza-like illnesses if more than 55 percent of the staff and more than 89 percent of the residents were vaccinated for influenza. Deep-sea Jelly Uses Glowing Red Lures To Catch Fish
As successful fishermen know, if you want to catch fish, you have to use the right bait or lure. This is true even in the deep sea, where scientists recently discovered a new species of jelly that attracts fish by wiggling hundreds of glowing red lures. This is the first time any marine invertebrate has been found to use a bioluminescent lure or to display red bioluminescence. New Microfluidic Devices Found To Be Effective Method Of In-vitro Fert
Technology that more closely mirrors the natural fertilization process is showing promise as a new method of in-vitro fertilization, researchers at the University of Michigan Health System have found. The researchers found that microfluidics -- an emerging area of physics and biotechnology that deals with the microscopic flow of fluids -- can be used successfully for IVF in mice.
