Neural Activity Connected To Blood Flow In New Brain Stimulation Techn
Neuroscientists have for the first time measured the electrical activity of nerve cells and correlated it to changes in blood flow in response to transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), a noninvasive method to stimulate neurons in the brain. Their findings, reported in Science, could substantially improve the effectiveness of brain stimulation as a therapeutic and research tool. [Ironic] An Italian pensioner committed suicide after his wife fell in
Recalling the end of Romeo and Juliet, the 70-year-old man, Ettore, who had sat by his wife's bedside for four months after she slipped into a coma following a heart attack, finally gave up hope and gassed himself in the garage of his family home.Less than a day later, his wife, Rossana, woke up in her hospital bed in Padua and immediately asked for him. 'Cloverfield' Manga Offers More Cryptic Clues
The translation of a new Japanese-language web comic serves up more tantalizing tidbits about J.J. Abrams' new monster movie. Cells United Against Cancer
Sheets of highly organized epithelial cells line all the cavities and free surfaces of the body, forming barriers that control the movement of liquids and cells in the body organs. Now, the researchers have found that the organized structure of normal breast epithelial cells may also serve as a barrier against cancer. High Rate Of Asthma Found In College Athletes
More than a third of college athletes assessed for breathing problems had test results suggesting exercise-induced asthma, even in those athletes who had no previous history of asthma, a new study shows. The findings paralleled earlier findings of a high prevalence of exercise-induced asthma among Olympic athletes. The work also underscores the need to develop more routine diagnosis and management tools in athletes to detect the potentially serious condition among athletes. Mechanism Proposed For Link Between RU-486 And Fatal Infections
The abortion drug mifepristone (Mifeprex,TMRU-486) has been linked to rare cases of fatal bacterial infections, but until now the connection has not been clearly understood. In "Pathophysiology of mifepristone-induced septic shock due to Clostridium sordellii,"author and Brown University professor Ralph P. Miech, MD, PhD, proposes two models of how this devastating reaction may occur. The article appears in The Annals of Pharmacotherapy Online and in the journal's upcoming September print issue. Enzyme Deficiency May Contribute To Liver Cancer, Mount Sinai Research
Primary liver cancer is much more likely to take root when a naturally occurring enzyme is in short supply, a team of researchers at Mount Sinai Hospital's Samuel Lunenfeld Research Institute has found. Truth and Reconciliation Commission of South Africa Report
Full text of this report (published in 1998, released in 2003) of the South African commission that investigated the amnesty process, human rights violations, and reparation and rehabilitation with respect to apartheid. Includes errata to the final report, as well as a list of acronyms. From the South African government. Cross-species Transplant In Rhesus Macaques Is Step Toward Diabetes Cu
With an eye on curing diabetes, scientists have successfully transplanted embryonic pig pancreatic cells destined to produce insulin into diabetic macaque monkeys -- all without the need for risky immune suppression drugs that prevent rejection. Scientists Say Stem Cells May Trigger Bone Cancer
Researchers are the first to identify a population of cells with characteristics of adult and embryonic stem cells in cultures derived from biopsies of patients' bone tumors.
