Discovery Of Pathway In Learning Impairment Caused By Liver Disease Ma
Liver disease sometimes causes hepatic encephalopathy, which involves brain damage, personality changes, and intellectual impairment due to hyperammonemia (high levels of ammonia in the blood). However, the mechanisms involved in both learning and how liver disease leads to learning impairment are unclear. High Nonfasting Triglyceride Levels Associated With Increased Risk For
Results from two studies indicate that elevated nonfasting triglyceride levels are associated with cardiovascular events such as a heart attack, with one study finding that triglyceride levels measured after fasting does not show this association, according to studies in the July 18 issue of JAMA. Novel Polymer Could Improve Protein-based Drugs
A new method for attaching a large protective polymer molecule to a protein appears to improve protein drugs significantly. British Academics To Benefit From World's First National Text Mining S
Search engines return thousands of documents, but the difficulty for the user is to find those which are most personally relevant. Most of these searches have little concept of the meaning of words that is gained from the context of a sentence. By using natural language processing, text mining can discover this meaning and focus on specific needs of the user. Chemical In Brain Acts Like A Fuel Gauge
The neurotransmitter norepinephrine can alert the brain to dangerously low blood sugar levels, according to a new study. Finding has implications for diabetes research. Computing Catches Up With Theory: Modeling The Formation Of Blood Clot
New computing tools have allowed Peter Richardson, a professor of engineering and physiology at Brown University, to test ideas about blood flow and clotting that he first proposed over 30 years ago. The collaboration with mathematics colleagues Igor Pivkin and George Karniadakis resulted in a model that integrates fluid dynamics with platelet biochemistry and could provide new insights into the treatment and prevention of strokes and heart attacks. Free, Video-Enabled iPhone 3GS Charms Japanese Consumers
By adding features and dropping its price to zero, Apple and Softbank helped the iPhone become the top-selling phone in Japan in July.
 Long-distance migration shapes butterfly wings
Monarch butterflies that migrate long distances have evolved significantly larger and more elongated wings than their stationary cousins, differences that are consistent with traits known to enhance flight ability in other migratory species. New Method For Hearing Loss Assessment Aims To Reflect Real-world Situ
A new technique to diagnose hearing loss will more accurately reflects real-world situations. Karen Iler Kirk, a professor of speech, language and hearing sciences at Purdue University, received a $2.8 million grant from the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders for the five-year project to develop two new audiovisual and multi-talker sentence tests that expand upon the traditional spoken word recognition format that has been used since the 1950s. One test is for adults and the other for children. More than 1,000 people ages 4-65 will participate in the study. Special Imaging Study Shows Failing Hearts Are 'Energy Starved'
Using magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) for the first time to examine energy production biochemistry in a beating human heart, Johns Hopkins researchers have found substantial energy deficits in failing hearts.
