Avian flu modeled on supercomputer, explores vaccine and isolation options for thwarting a pandemic
Using supercomputers to respond to a potential national health emergency, scientists have developed a simulation model that makes stark predictions about the possible future course of an avian influenza pandemic, given today's environment of worldwide connectivity. The research, by a team of scientists from Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico, the University of Washington and the Fred Hu...Does a peptide affect the heart's response to social isolation?
A team of researchers investigating the effects of oxytocin, a peptide produced by the brain that regulates social behavior, has found that it can prevent detrimental cardiac responses in adult female animals exposed to social isolation. The findings may provide further insight into how these mechanisms affect humans. The study was conducted by Angela J. Grippo, C. Sue Carter and Stephen...Study shows isolation of stem cells may lead to a treatment for hearing loss
Have you ever walked by someone listening to their i-Pod loud enough for you recognize the song? Studies have shown noise-induced hearing loss is going to become the next big epidemic affecting our younger generation though the effects won’t show until it is too late to treat. In addition to loud noise, certain cancer drugs or genetic factors can cause hearing loss in humans due to loss or faul...Mitochondria Isolation Kit for Tissue and Cultured Cells from BioChain

Do not fret or blame all those people who had been telling you to take calcium for strong bones. Calcium plays an important part for bone strength but is not the only one.It works in conjugation with other nutrients as well. // As per a recent study which is part of Woman's Health Initiative, funded by the US government “Calcium and vitamin D supplements may not be effective in preve...Forcible Detention and Isolation Needed for XDR-TB Patients, warn Experts
It’s a tough call between human rights and a medical problem of utmost urgency but researchers support the latter//. Jerome Singh and colleagues from Durban's Centre for the AIDS Programme of Research in South Africa have come out strongly for forcible detention and isolation of those affected with XDR-TB. They warn in the peer-reviewed journal PloS Medicine that the disease may...3M™ Steri-Drape™ Patient Isolation Drapes
