Infants with persistent crying problems more likely to have behavior problems in childhood, study finds Posted: 20 Apr 2011 03:44 PM PDT Infants who have problems with persistent crying, sleeping and/or feeding -- known as regulatory problems -- are far more likely to become children with significant behavioral problems, reveals new research.

Genetic discovery offers new hope in fight against deadly pulmonary fibrosis Posted: 20 Apr 2011 03:44 PM PDT Researchers have discovered a genetic variant that increases the risk of developing pulmonary fibrosis by 7 to 22 times. The discovery identifies a major risk factor for pulmonary fibrosis and points in an entirely new direction for research into the causes and potential treatments for this difficult and deadly disease. Nearly two-thirds of patients carry the genetic variation, which is associated with a gene that codes for a mucus-forming protein.

Fruit flies on meth: Study explores whole-body effects of toxic drug Posted: 20 Apr 2011 03:44 PM PDT A new study in fruit flies offers a broad view of the potent and sometimes devastating molecular events that occur throughout the body as a result of methamphetamine exposure. The study tracks changes in the expression of genes and proteins throughout the body in fruit flies (Drosophila melanogaster) exposed to meth.

Low carbohydrate diet may reverse kidney failure in people with diabetes Posted: 20 Apr 2011 03:44 PM PDT Researchers have for the first time determined that the ketogenic diet, a specialized high-fat, low carbohydrate diet, may reverse impaired kidney function in people with Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes.

Presenting cancer treatment options in small doses yields smarter choices, study finds Posted: 20 Apr 2011 03:37 PM PDT Women who choose among different breast cancer treatment options make smarter choices when getting the information and making decisions in small doses rather than all at once, as is customary, a new study found.

MicroRNA mediates gene-diet interaction related to obesity, researchers find Posted: 20 Apr 2011 03:37 PM PDT Researchers observed that a genetic variant on the perilipin 4 (PLIN4) locus was associated with an increased risk of obesity yet, carriers with higher omega-3 fatty acid intakes tended to weigh less than carriers who consumed little or no omega-3 fatty acids. Furthermore, the researchers identified a microRNA which may help elucidate the mechanism behind the gene-diet interaction.

Does video game violence harm teens? New study weighs the evidence Posted: 20 Apr 2011 01:44 PM PDT How much scientific evidence is there for and against the assertion that exposure to video game violence can harm teens? Three researchers have developed a novel method to consider that question: they analyzed the research output of experts who filed a brief in a US Supreme Court case involving violent video games and teens.

Kids' 'screen time' linked to early markers for cardiovascular disease Posted: 20 Apr 2011 01:44 PM PDT Children who had the most hours of screen time, particularly in front of the television, had narrower arteries in the eyes -- a possible indicator for future heart disease risk, according to a new study. Children with the highest levels of physical activity had wider retinal arterioles. The magnitude of vessel narrowing for each hour of screen time was similar to a 10 millimeter of mercury rise in systolic blood pressure.

Another universe tugging on ours? Maybe not: Data from exploding stars contradicts earlier study Posted: 20 Apr 2011 12:37 PM PDT In 2008, researchers announced a startling discovery: Clusters of galaxies far apart from one another appeared to be traveling in the same direction. Maybe another universe existed beyond the bounds of ours, dragging our stars ever closer through the pull of gravity. Then again, maybe not. A new study contradicts the dark flow theory, showing that exploding stars in different parts of the universe do not appear to be moving in sync.

Ring around the hurricanes: Satellites can predict storm intensity Posted: 20 Apr 2011 12:21 PM PDT Coastal residents may soon have longer warning when a storm headed in their direction is becoming a hurricane, thanks to a study demonstrating how to use existing satellites to monitor tropical storm dynamics and predict sudden surges in strength. Using passive microwave satellites, the researchers found that low-shear storm systems form a symmetrical ring of thunderstorms around the center of the system about six hours before rapidly intensifying into a hurricane.

Primordial weirdness: Did the early universe have one dimension? Scientists outline test for theory Posted: 20 Apr 2011 12:20 PM PDT Did the early universe have just one spatial dimension? That's the mind-boggling concept at the heart of a new theory. Researchers now describe a test that could prove or disprove the "vanishing dimensions" hypothesis.

Half of all children with autism wander and bolt from safe places, study shows Posted: 20 Apr 2011 11:37 AM PDT The Interactive Autism Network has revealed preliminary results of the first major survey on wandering and elopement among individuals with autism spectrum disorders. The wandering and elopement survey found that approximately half of parents of children with autism report that their child elopes, with the behavior peaking at age four.

Protein-patterned fibers: Researchers combine active proteins with material derived from fruit fly Posted: 20 Apr 2011 11:37 AM PDT Researchers have discovered a way to pattern active proteins into bio-friendly fibers. The "eureka" moment came about because somebody forgot to clean up the lab one night. The new work simplifies the process of making materials with fully functional proteins. Such materials could find extensive use as chemical catalysts and biosensors and in tissue engineering, for starters.

Adaptive trial designs could accelerate HIV vaccine development Posted: 20 Apr 2011 11:36 AM PDT In the past 12 years, four large-scale efficacy trials of HIV vaccines have been conducted in various populations. Results from the most recent trial have given scientists reason for cautious optimism. Yet building on these findings could take years, given that traditional HIV vaccine clinical trials are lengthy, and that it is still not known which immune system responses a vaccine needs to trigger to protect an individual from HIV infection.

Mining data from electronic records: Faster way to get genetic clues to disease Posted: 20 Apr 2011 11:36 AM PDT Recruiting thousands of patients to collect health data for genetic clues to disease is expensive and time consuming. But a study shows that process could be faster and cheaper by mining patient data that already exists in electronic medical records. Researchers were able to cull patient information in electronic medical records from routine doctors' visits at five national sites. This allowed researchers to accurately identify patients with five different diseases and reproduce previous genetic findings.

How TRIM5 fights HIV: Scientists discover mechanism of protein that makes certain monkeys resistant Posted: 20 Apr 2011 11:36 AM PDT Thanks to a certain protein, rhesus monkeys are resistant to HIV. Known as TRIM5, the protein prevents the HI virus from multiplying once it has entered the cell. Researchers in Switzerland have now discovered the protein's mechanism. This also opens up new prospects for fighting HIV in humans.

Beams of electrons link Saturn with its moon Enceladus Posted: 20 Apr 2011 11:36 AM PDT Data from NASA's Cassini spacecraft have revealed that Enceladus, one of Saturn's diminutive moons, is linked to Saturn by powerful electrical currents -- beams of electrons that flow back and forth between the planet and moon.

What's your gut type? Gut bacteria could help with diagnostics and influence treatments Posted: 20 Apr 2011 11:36 AM PDT Humans have three different gut types, scientists have found. The study also uncovers microbial genetic markers that are related to traits like age, gender and body-mass index. The findings could help diagnose and predict outcomes for diseases like colorectal cancer, and inform treatment.

Material that if scratched, you can quickly and easily fix yourself, with light not heat Posted: 20 Apr 2011 11:36 AM PDT A team of researchers in the United States and Switzerland has developed a polymer-based material that can heal itself with the help of a widely used type of lighting. Called "metallo-supramolecular polymers," the material is capable of becoming a supple liquid that fills crevasses and gaps left by scrapes and scuffs when placed under ultraviolet light for less than a minute and then resolidifying. The paper will publish this week in journal Nature.

Scientists prove new technology to control malaria-carrying mosquitoes Posted: 20 Apr 2011 11:36 AM PDT Scientists have taken an important step towards developing control measures for mosquitoes that transmit malaria.

Breastfeeding tied to stronger maternal response to baby's cry Posted: 20 Apr 2011 08:13 AM PDT A new study finds that mothers who feed their babies breast milk exclusively, as opposed to formula, are more likely to bond emotionally with their child during the first few months after delivery. The breastfeeding mothers surveyed for the study showed greater responses to their infant's cry in brain regions related to caregiving behavior and empathy than mothers who relied upon formula as the baby's main food source. This is the first paper to examine the underlying neurobiological mechanisms as a function of breastfeeding, and to connect brain activity with maternal behaviors among human mothers.

CAPTCHAs with chaos: Strong protection for weak passwords Posted: 20 Apr 2011 08:13 AM PDT The passwords of the future could become more secure and, at the same time, simpler to use. Researchers have been inspired by the physics of critical phenomena in their attempts to significantly improve password protection. The researchers split a password into two sections. With the first, easy-to-memorize section they encrypt a CAPTCHA -- an image that computer programs have difficulty in deciphering. The researchers also make it more difficult for computers, whose task it is to automatically crack passwords, to read the passwords without authorization. They use images of a simulated physical system, which they additionally make unrecognizable with a chaotic process.

Why are the Seychelles free of malaria? Posted: 20 Apr 2011 05:18 AM PDT Anopheles mosquitoes, which transmit the malaria parasite by their bite are present almost throughout the world. Only five areas are exceptions: Antarctic and Iceland, where there are no mosquitoes at all, New-Caledonia, the Central Pacific islands, like French Polynesia, and the Seychelles in the Indian Ocean. New research suggests that the Seychelles have been spared because anopheles mosquitoes require the blood of terrestrial mammals which, apart from bats, are lacking.

American pikas: Contemporary climate change alters the pace and drivers of extinction Posted: 20 Apr 2011 05:18 AM PDT Local extinction rates of American pikas have increased nearly five-fold in the last 10 years, and the rate at which the climate-sensitive species is moving up mountain slopes has increased 11-fold since the 20th century, according to a new study.

Lowering HIV transmission risk from breastfeeding with antiretroviral treatment Posted: 20 Apr 2011 05:18 AM PDT Every day, 1500 young infants in the world contract HIV from their mother. Ninety per cent of them live in Sub-Saharan Africa. Infection occurs in utero or during delivery, or later during breastfeeding. Now mothers can breastfeed with less risk. An international consortium of researchers recently showed that by taking an antiretroviral treatment up to the sixth month of breastfeeding, mothers can halve the probability of contaminating their child in comparison with standard treatment recommended in the previous WHO (World Health Organization) protocol guidelines.

New Caledonia’s lagoon : Better understanding for better protection Posted: 20 Apr 2011 05:18 AM PDT New Caledonia possesses the second largest coral reef lagoon on Earth and harbors an exceptional biodiversity. The island is also the world's third most important nickel producer. Ore extraction over the 20th Century has in places tripled the input of sediments and accompanying pollutants, such as metals, in the marine environment.
