Mayo Clinic Researchers Find Hole In Heart Does Not Make Stroke Inevit
Mayo Clinic researchers have found that -- contrary to current thinking by some in the medical community -- a patent foramen ovale (PFO), a small hole between the two upper chambers of the heart, does not predestine an individual to a stroke later in life. Raman best for breast cancer
Breast cancer remains the most common form of cancer among women but screening with mammography involves exposure to ionising radiation and suffers from a high rate of false positives that then require a definitive assay. In the December issue of the journal Biopolymers, researchers in India describe how Raman spectroscopy might be used to discriminate [...] Remote-control Nanoparticles Deliver Drugs Directly Into Tumors
Scientists have devised remotely controlled nanoparticles that, when pulsed with an electromagnetic field, release drugs to attack tumors. With the ability to see the clumped particles, researchers asked the next question: "Can we talk back to them?"The answer is yes, the team found.

FORT MITCHELL, Ky. - A pregnant woman who killed her attacker said a maternal instinct helped her fight off the woman who investigators believe was after her unborn child."I do believe that I fought harder because it was for my child,"Sarah Brady told ABC's "Good Morning America"in interviews aired Sunday and Monday. "It is a maternal instinct to protect your child to the very end."Katherine Smith, 22, died Thursday after luring Brady to her apartment to pick up a package supposedly delivered to the wrong address. When Smith pulled out a knife and attacked the pregnant woman, Brady fought back, striking Smith on the head with an ash tray and stabbing her three times with her own knife, police said. Brady, 26, said she didn't know Smith before the two met at Smith's apartment and can't be certain why Smith wanted to kill her."I really am not sure what was going through her mind,"Brady told ABC. "The only thing I thought was that she was going to kill me and my child and that is the only thing that ran through my mind." Gene With Broad Role Also Causes Prevalent, Inherited Nerve Disorder
A gene that plays many fundamental roles in cells throughout the body has, for the first time, been implicated in human disease, according to researchers at the Duke Center for Human Genetics. A defect in the ubiquitous gene dynamin 2 underlies one form of the prevalent, familial nerve disorder, known as Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT). Scientists Convert Poultry Litter Into Environmentally Friendly Bio-oi
Researchers are providing a safer, more environmentally friendly solution to waste disposal. A biological systems engineer is developing transportable pyrolysis units that will convert poultry litter into bio-oil, providing an economical disposal system while reducing environmental effects and biosecurity issues. Kobo E-Reader First on iPad
The iPad might have iBooks, but if Apple’s built-in iPhone apps are anything to go by, then it will likely be gorgeous but limited (the Mail app, anyone?). We think that it’ll be the third party e-book readers that turn the Moses Tablet into the Kindle Killer people so obviously want it to be. Like the Kobo.
 Smoking Interferes With Thinking And Memory In Recovering Alcoholics
After six to nine months of abstinence from alcohol, recovering alcoholics who were also chronic smokers showed a significantly lower rate of improvement in tests of memory, reasoning, judgment and visual/spatial coordination than non-smoking recovering alcoholics in a study conducted by researchers at the San Francisco VA Medical Center. Revealing The Workings Of 'Mother Nature's Blowtorch'
Using atom-level imaging techniques, researchers have revealed important structural details of an enzyme system known as "Mother Nature's blowtorch"for its role in helping the body efficiently break down many drugs and toxins.
