One in 14 men having a heart attack drive themselves to hospital

...wever, many also reported that they felt they were going to collapse when they arrived in the casualty department. The average time it took women to get to hospital after the onset of initial symptoms was 14 hours, compared with 2.8 hours for men. "Even when their symptoms got bad, it still took women 3...

...kind of cutoff on the quality of the record you're going to include in your analysis," Jablonski said. "Sometimes focusing on the most reliable fraction of the record will be the best way to go." Second, use all available data, but check to see if the evolutionary patterns they detect are consistent with ...

Scientists discover dozens of new species in 'Lost World' of western New Guinea

...a. "It's as close to the Garden of Eden as you're going to find on Earth," marveled Bruce Beehler, vice president of CI's Melanesia Center for Biodiversity Conservation and a co-leader of the expedition. "The first bird we saw at our camp was a new species. Large mammals that have been hunted to near ext...

Drug resistance may travel same path as quorum sensing

...cur because the bacteria "know" that the drugs are going to kill them, but because the drug looks like a communication signal. So the bacterial cells send out what they think is a communication signal, which is bad news for doctors and their patients. This process, known as multidrug resistance, results in...

Oops! Researchers publish new findings on the brain's response to costly mistakes

...ea are ?and therefore, the more processing that is going on in those brain cells. "We hypothesized that the brain response to errors was involved in an emotional reaction to making an error," says Gehring. "Our new fMRI result not only confirms this, but it also allows us to pinpoint the area in the brai...

Sociality of sweat bees evolved simultaneously during climate change

...on years ago, they researched what might have been going on in this time frame that would trigger the development of social behavior in so many species at the same time. "We discovered that the Earth underwent a warming trend from 15 to 26 million years ago," Danforth said. "In modern halictid bees, socia...
