‘Smart House’ Developed to Monitor People With Dementa

...he sensors get no response or the patient does not react to the messages, the system is programmed to call the emergency services or a neighbour for help. The 'smart house' project by Roger Orpwood and colleagues is already being tested in a flat in south London and a sheltered housing scheme in Bristol...

Influenza Virus also Protects Against H5N1

... have levels of antibodies that are high enough to react against H5N1," Webby said. If the initial findings of the St. Jude study are confirmed in the future, there may be a greater interest in examining the amount of neuraminidase in yearly influenza vaccines, according to Matthew Sandbulte, Ph.D., a po...

The Story Behind the Shape of the Heart

...r alterations in cell size and shape, all of which react to// influences from the local environment. Initially, the heart is an uncomplicated tube that bulges later on to develop into cardiac chambers. In a new study published online in the open access journal PLoS Biology, Heidi Auman, Deborah Yelon, an...

US Government Pushes Ahead With New Meat Inspection System

... anticipate and prevent outbreaks rather than just react to them after the event. Meat inspectors already conduct inspections on a daily basis. Under the new system FSIS says it is going to make better use of the information that is already collected. FSIS will use the daily inspection data to assess t...

Vaccines Effective in Preterm Babies too

...eed because preemies' immune systems do not always react the same way as full-term infants. For instance, a change in the types of vaccine used in the UK apparently resulted in an increase in Haemophilus influenzae type b infections, like bloodstream infection or meningitis, in children. Children born p...

Multiple Course of Steroids Protects Preterm Baby’s Lung

...s previous studies. "Perhaps these babies didn’t react the same way as in other studies because the timing of brain maturation is different. It could also be because these babies received a different kind of steroid that did not contain sulfur," Amin said. "Preliminarily, it looks like we might be able t...

PET Imaging Identifies Aggressive Kidney Cancers That Require Surgery

...rget and bind to clear cell renal carcinoma and to react against an enzyme that is present in 94 percent of these cancers. Studies have also demonstrated that renal carcinoma has the highest recorded tumor uptake for G250 of any solid tumor, making the antibody ideal for use with PET imaging for this disea...

Excessive RAMP1 Protein may Cause Migraines

...the neuropeptide -- more RAMP1 made CGRP receptors react to much lower concentrations of CGRP than usual and caused the receptors to respond more vigorously to the neuropeptide. The UI team also engineered mice to express human RAMP1 in their nervous system in addition to the normal mouse version of the ...

Light-activated Compound May Be of Help for Epileptics in Future

...s back, and the nerve cells were more reluctant to react to stimuli," Mennerick says. "And we knew we had found something very interesting." To confirm what was happening, scientists dosed two of a nerve cell's many different branches with NBD-steroid. When they shone a light on one of the branches, its ...

Genetic Pathways to Curable and Incurable Forms of Pancreatic Cancer Identified

...o to cause symptoms. The cells in this cancer also react differently to a key signaling protein, TGFb, which can induce cancer cells to change shape and become more mobile and invasive. It turns out that the cystic pancreatic cancer cells are resistant to these effects of TGFb and these types of cancers ar...

Radiation Preferred Over Surgery for Patients With Some Stages of Lung Cancer

Gene Screening Points Way to More Effective Chemotherapy

...y that allows scientists to rapidly test how cells react when a given gene is turned off, or “silenced.” The so-called high-throughput employs a series of small plastic dishes, each with 96 wells. Using a robot, researchers place small bits of RNA that can block the function of one gene into each well on t...
