Skin Disorders In Construction Workers Following Hurricanes Katrina An
Four distinct skin disorders were found in construction workers who helped repair buildings after Hurricane Katrina and Hurricane Rita, according to a new report. Anchors Away With RFID Smartbuoys
A high-tech mooring system lets boaters put in easy (and enjoy the luxury treatment), all while treading lightly on coral that lives on the sea floor. By Nicole Martinelli. Sexual Behavior Not Influenced By Increasing Young Women's Access To '
Young, urban women showed no reduction in their use of contraceptives, nor any other changes in their sexual behavior when provided with easier access to the so-called "morning after pill,"also known as emergency contraception (EC), according to UCSF researchers. Protein Pathway Involved In Parkinson Disease Development Identified
Scientists have found a novel signaling pathway in cells that is altered by genetic mutations recently identified in Parkinson disease development. These new findings show how the mutations affect cellular function and could provide a target for drug therapies to treat the disease. Comet Particles Tell New Story About Birth Of Solar System
Particulate materials captured from the comet Wild two have revealed clues about the birth of our solar system that counter some of the basic theories that the solar nebular is gently collapsing inward to form the sun and the planets. Long-standing Question In The Field Of Condensed Matter Physics Answer
Scientists have answered a long-standing question in the field of condensed matter physics. They investigated the interplay between the electron-electron interactions and disorder near the metal-insulator transition using simultaneous measurements of electrical resistivity and magneto-conductance. Blocking Effects Of Viral Infections May Prevent Asthma In Young Child
Babies who get severe respiratory viral infections are much more likely to suffer from asthma as they get older. Now researchers have pinpointed a key step in the development of asthma in mice after a severe respiratory infection. They suggest that medications designed to interfere with this mechanism could potentially prevent many cases of childhood asthma. Friendly Foe: Bacteria Residing In The Gut Boost Immune Response To Tu
Total body irradiation (TBI), which depletes the body of lymphocytes, improves the ability of tumor-specific T cells to cause tumor regression. In a new JCI study researchers show that, in mice, lymphodepletion does not fully account for the tumor regression observed following TBI. They show that disruption of the population of bacteria that normally reside in the gut without causing disease also plays a role in the effectiveness of this therapeutic approach against cancer. Inflammatory Genes Linked To Salt-sensitive Hypertension
One key to your high blood pressure might just be your inflammatory genes. It may sound odd but mounting evidence suggests that inflammation, a part of the immune response implicated in diseases such as cancer, Alzheimer's and diabetes, may also help translate stress into high blood pressure. Sustainable Energy Source Could Solve Bermuda Triangle Riddle
Cardiff experts have designed world-first technology to investigate sustainable energy sources from the ocean bed by isolating ancient high-pressure bacteria from deep sediments.
