Technology for monitoring fetal oxygen during labor offers no apparent benefit

...ir research to try to find if there was sufficient reason to warrant introducing fetal oxygen saturation monitoring into the delivery room. A previous study of the technology was inconclusive. That study found no overall change in Caesarean delivery rates when fetal oxygen saturation monitoring was undert...

Temperament linked to onset of cancer and early death in female rats

... a variety of diseases, they could not establish a reason for the differences. The new study links personality specifically with cancer. ...

Fatty fish protects against cancer

...one of the scientists working with the study. "The reason previous studies have been unable to demonstrate a link between fish consumption and renal cancer is that they made no distinction between fatty and non-fatty fish." One significant difference between oily and non-fatty fish lies in how much omega-3...

Protect patients from exploitation by alternative medicines industry

...from the conventional pharmaceutical industry. The reason that these products are accessible to patients is that they are not subject to the testing of pharmaceuticals because they are classified as food supplements. So why do patients take alternative medicines" Why is science disregarded" How can it be...

On the golf tee or pitcher's mound, brain dooms motion to inconsistency

...rical engineers at Stanford University. "The main reason you can't move the same way each and every time, s...ford researchers concluded that less than half the reason for inconsistency in movement lies in the muscles. "This is the first study to successfully record...

Ancient birds flew on all-fours

...ved much attention," Longrich said. "I believe one reason for this is that people tend to see what they want or expect to see. Everybody knows that birds don't have four wings, so we overlooked them even when they were right under our noses." Under the supervision of professor Anthony Russell, Longrich exa...

Disappearing nest egg: Researcher studying declining numbers of macaws

...r beauty, which is almost a curse for them and one reason why they are so highly prized. But surprisingly l...aw research project. He has learned that one reason the macaw populations are declining is due to the popularity of the Aguaje palm. It's highly-sought...

New path from estrogen to survival in breast cancer cells described

...development seems important to us," Yeh said. "The reason people live longer is that they don't develop cancer as readily." Players in this newly defined pathway are: BCA3, which had no known function. NEDD8, a protein that can bind to other proteins and alter their function. SENP8, a protease (enz...

Parental genes do what's best for baby

...etic disorders. Scientists have argued that the reason some genes only use or ‘express?one copy is due to a conflict between paternal and maternal interests. In the natural world, for example, males would hope to produce large offspring to give them the best chance of survival and carry on their gene ...

Solved: The mystery of flesh-eating bacteria's relentless attack

Jefferson scientists identify gene mutation potentially involved in breast cancer initiation

...ogen receptors, yet the receptor activity for some reason rises dramatically in premalignant lesions and cancer. Dr. Lisanti's team developed mice lacking the Caveolin-1 gene and found a dramatic increase in both number and activity of estrogen-positive receptors in mouse breast tissue, specifically in bre...

Embryo tests give parents the choice

Worm links cancer risk to ageing

The reason why people are at greater risk of developing cancer as they get older may be explained by research published today (June 2). Scientists have discovered that a naturally produced protein that helps protect us from cancer may also determine how long w...

New treatment for severe malaria

...e capillaries of the brain and other organs. The reason that the blood cells conglomerate and lodge in the blood vessels is that once in the blood cell the parasite produces proteins that project from the surface of the cell and bind with receptors on other blood cells and on the vessel wall, and thus act...

Tests may help answer questions about GMOs and allergies

...ods to cause allergic reactions in humans is a big reason for opposition to such crops. Although protocols are in place to ask questions about the allergy-causing possibilities, there has been no test that offers definitive answers. But all of that could change as a Michigan State University researcher has...

Newborn screening can cause unnecessary parental stress

...est, the study found. Mothers who knew the correct reason had reduced stress. (This was not true for fathers, however.) Other findings: Some parents had to wait as long as a month to get the result of the second test, and 26 percent voiced concerns about the length of time before a diagnosis was ruled o...

Whiplash injuries ?are they caused by startle reflexes?

...seemingly minor low-speed rear-end collisions. The reason for the injury is not known but it is generally thought that the sudden acceleration of the body relative to the head damages the joints and muscles of the neck, which can lead to long-lasting pain. Jean-Sébastien Blouin and colleagues at The Univer...

Diabetes research takes wing thanks to long-lived fruit fly

...ay, including vital proteins and DNA. It's a major reason why generally our bodies falter as we age ?we're literally dinged to death by free radicals. While scientists knew that JNK in a fly cranks up the anti-oxidants, helping to keep the integrity of genes and proteins intact in the same way people hope ...

Pollutant haze heats the Arctic

...asing its heat to outer space," Garrett says. "The reason this was true is that the pollution particles made the cloud droplets more numerous, but consequently smaller. Even if the amount of water is the same in the cloud, a larger number of small droplets corresponds to a more effective blanket." People ...

Joslin discovers signs of residual islet cell function in people with long-term type 1 diabetes

...not produce c-peptide. "If we could find out the reason for their lack of complications, we could perhaps prevent kidney or eye disease," said Dr. King. The study has been investigating whether other factors, such as lifestyle or longevity genes, play a role in the development of complications, reported D...
