Ringing In The Ear: More Than 80 Percent Of Patients Manage To Stop Di It is estimated that between 10 and 17% of the population has suffered tinnitus at some time in their lives, according to a number of international studies. Tinnitus is understood as the perception of noise in the ears or inside the head although there is no external source of sound, without any vibratory cochlear activity taking place (which occurs when an external noise is produced). Sound therapy is a treatment option with promising results. Macworld Video Highlights: MacBook Air, iPhone Upgrade and More In this two-minute video, Wired brings you the highlights from the first day of Macworld 2008: Steve Jobs' keynote, the new MacBook Air, upgrades to the iPhone and AppleTV, and more. Plus: Veronica Belmont gets denied! Proclamation by the President: National Day of Prayer and Remembrance Official press release from President George W. Bush proclaiming September 16, 2005, as a National Day of Prayer and Remembrance for the Victims of Hurricane Katrina. It is meant to "honor the memory of those who lost their lives, to provide comfort and strength to the families of the victims, and to help ease the burden of the survivors." Apocalypse, and How: Viggo Mortensen's 'Road' Winds On After battling evil in The Lord of the Rings, the accomplished actor takes on a different kind of overarching menace in the screen adaptation of Cormac McCarthy's catastrophically compelling ode to humanity. Mortensen talks about the movie, its message and the power of apocalyptic cinema.

 NASA Study Finds Earth's Auroras Are Not Mirror Images Scientists looking at the Earth's northern and southern auroras were surprised to find they are not mirror images of each other, as was once thought. The main cause behind the differences appears to be the interaction between the Sun's outer atmosphere and the Earth's magnetic field. Marburg Virus Identified In A Species Of Fruit Bat The Marburg virus, like its fearsome cousin Ebola, belongs to the Filoviridae family. It carries the name of the German town where it was first detected in 1967, after a mysterious epidemic had hit employees of the Behring laboratory. The workers had been contaminated as they took organ samples from green monkeys imported from Uganda. Up to the end of the 20th Century, rare cases of violent haemorrhagic fever attack linked to Marburg virus were subsequently registered, essentially in East Africa. However, in 1998, a more extensive epidemic affected 149 people near Durba, a town in the North-East of the Democratic Republic of Congo. More than 80% of these people succumbed to the haemorrhagic fever the virus caused. P2P Action NMR has allowed German researchers to investigate the cooperative binding of DNA to an important protein involved in suppressing tumour growth in our bodies. The binding of p53 to DNA is regulated by protein-protein interactions through a double salt bridge, they have found. The finding suggests that this salt bridge might be crucial to protecting us from certain types of cancer and fixing it when it malfunctions could provide a new avenue for anticancer drug research. New biosensors reveal workings of anti-psychotic drugs in the living b Scientists have resolved a question about how a popular class of drugs used to treat schizophrenia works using biosensors that reveal previously hidden components of chemical communication in the brain. New Aging Studies Improving Vaccine Efficacy For The Elderly A new study demonstrates that immune system cells important for both pathogen resistance and vaccine efficacy live longer in older animals but because of this longevity acquire functional defects. The work may provide new targets for boosting immune system function in older individuals. Rensselaer Researchers Develop Heat Spreader For Epileptic Seizure Tre Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute researchers are developing a tiny, highly efficient heat spreader to be used in a new device to be implanted in the brain of patients who suffer from severe epileptic seizures. The implant device is designed to detect and arrest epileptic seizures as they begin by cooling a small region of the brain, thereby effectively blocking the erratic electrical activity.
