Most Suicide Rates Decline, but Findings Are Puzzling

...s (65 and older). He recruited Schulz and Cuffe to explore explanations for the changes. Their study suggests several possibilities why those suicide rates have fallen and raises questions about why suicide rates among the middle groups -- those 25 to 64 -- have not declined. 'In our medical-literature s...

Sacroplasty Safe and Effective to Reduce Low Back Pain

... performed sacroplasty on nearly 50 patients. To explore better alternatives, Frey and others have adapted techniques developed for vertebroplasty in the lumbar spine. In vertebroplasty, physicians use fluoroscopic guidance to inject polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) into osteoporotic compression fractures. Af...

Model of Internal Clocks Reveals How Jet Lag Disrupts the System

...fering rhythms of the local clocks, she says. To explore the dynamics of the system and how it responds to disruption Siegelmann and Leise designed a model with parameters reflecting this hierarchical nature. The model accounts for the SCN’s light-responsive component, its intermediate component, and the v...

Feedback Loop Governing Ovarian Development Unraveled

... Gilboa developed both the methods and know-how to explore what she calls "a black hole": the process that transforms an embryonic ovary into an adult one. As the painstaking experiments reveal, the two cell types that interact in a feedback loop through a signaling pathway are 1) primordial germ cells an...
