| Posted: 27 Dec 2009 02:00 PM PST For as many as 1 in 20 people, everyday experiences can elicit extra-ordinary associated sensations. The condition is known as synesthesia and the most common form involves "seeing" colors when reading words and numbers. |
| Secrets of the Brain: Researchers decipher parts of the neuronal code Posted: 27 Dec 2009 02:00 PM PST The human brain works at a far higher level of complexity than previously thought. What has been given little attention up to now in the information processing of neuronal circuits has been the time factor. "Liquid computing" -- a new theory about how these complex networks of nerve cells actually work -- has just passed its first test. |
| Helping vegetable plants make a less stressful transition from the greenhouse to the field Posted: 27 Dec 2009 02:00 PM PST Plant physiologists have been investigating ways to help vegetable plants make a less stressful transition from the greenhouse to the field. |
| Targeted therapy prolongs life in patients with HER2-positive breast cancer Posted: 27 Dec 2009 02:00 PM PST Lapatinib plus trastuzumab are significantly better than lapatinib alone in extending the lives of breast cancer patients whose tumors are HER2-positive, according to new research. |
| Microscopic gyroscopes, the key for motion sensing Posted: 27 Dec 2009 02:00 PM PST Tiny devices made possible by combining the latest advances in mechanical and electronics technology could be at the heart of next-generation personal navigation and vehicle stabilization tools. |
| Happy Flies Look For A Place Like Home Posted: 27 Dec 2009 02:00 PM PST A happy youth can influence where a fruit fly chooses to live as an adult, according to new research. The study provides new insight into how animals choose places to live and raise their young. |
| Glacier melt adds ancient edibles to marine buffet Posted: 27 Dec 2009 08:00 AM PST Glaciers along the Gulf of Alaska are enriching stream and near shore marine ecosystems from a surprising source -- ancient carbon contained in glacial runoff. |
| Rise in drug resistance of dangerous infection in US hospitals Posted: 27 Dec 2009 08:00 AM PST A new study reports a surge in drug-resistant strains of Acinetobacter, a dangerous type of bacteria that is becoming increasingly common in US hospitals. |
| Milk thistle herb protects cancer patients from chemotherapy-associated liver toxicity Posted: 27 Dec 2009 08:00 AM PST A new study finds that the herb milk thistle may help treat liver inflammation in cancer patients who receive chemotherapy. The study indicates that the herb could allow patients to take potent doses of chemotherapy without damaging their liver. |
| 'Garbage disposal' role of VCP and implications for degenerative disease Posted: 27 Dec 2009 08:00 AM PST New research reveals how a mutant ATPase blocks autophagy partway through to cause a multi-tissue degenerative disease. |
| An easy way to see the world's thinnest material Posted: 27 Dec 2009 08:00 AM PST Scientists have used the dye fluorescein to create a new imaging technique to view graphene. |
| Structured reporting software creates less complete and accurate radiology reports than free text Posted: 27 Dec 2009 08:00 AM PST As many software companies work to create programs that will give uniform structure to the way radiological test results are reported, a new study shows that such a system does not improve, but rather decreases the completeness and accuracy of the reports. |
| Exposure to young triggers new neuron creation in females exhibiting maternal behavior Posted: 27 Dec 2009 02:00 AM PST Maternal behavior itself can trigger the development of new neurons in the maternal brain independent of whether the female was pregnant or has nursed, according to a new study. The study was performed in adult, virgin rats. |
| Physician urges changes in diagnosis for sore throat in young adults Posted: 27 Dec 2009 02:00 AM PST New analysis suggests that physicians need to re-think their diagnosis and treatment of sore throat, or pharyngitis, in adolescents and young adults to consider a more newly identified and potentially dangerous culprit as the source of that infection. |
| New clues emerge for understanding morphine addiction Posted: 27 Dec 2009 02:00 AM PST Scientists are adding additional brush strokes to the revolutionary new image now emerging for star-shaped cells called astrocytes in the brain and spinal cord. Their report suggests a key role for astrocytes in morphine's ability to relieve pain and cause addiction. |
| Researchers find evidence of survival gains in bone marrow disease Posted: 27 Dec 2009 02:00 AM PST Scientists demonstrate new survival data for the blood disorder myelofibrosis. This retrospective study is the largest ever conducted in young patients with primary myelofibrosis. |
| Flowering powers genetic understanding Posted: 27 Dec 2009 02:00 AM PST New research on how plants adapt their flowering to climate is also helping to unravel some of the mysteries of how genes are controlled. Studies on a gene in Arabidopsis that controls flowering time are providing potential roles for non-coding RNA. |
| Iranian Scholars Share Avicenna's Medieval Medical Wisdom Posted: 27 Dec 2009 02:00 AM PST For pulmonary ailments, certain medieval physicians had a useful medical textbook on hand offering detailed information remarkably similar to those a modern doctor might use today. |
