Research suggests fitness of Florida panthers improved by limited breeding with Texas animals
The number of living Florida panthers has grown from a previously estimated 30 to a recently counted 87 as a result of a controversial breeding effort to improve the genetic health of the endangered and inbred animals, according to a new assessment. Hybrid kittens born to panthers brought into the area from Texas have "about a three times higher chance of becoming adults as do purebred one...Normal chromosome ends elicit a limited DNA damage response
Researchers at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies discovered that cells co-opted the machinery that usually repairs broken strands of DNA to protect the integrity of chromosomes. This finding solves for the first time an important question that has long puzzled scientists. The natural ends of chromosomes look just like broken strands of DNA that a cell's repair machinery is designed...Serious adverse reactions to smallpox vaccine appear to be limited
There was a low rate of life-threatening adverse reactions to the smallpox vaccine administered to potential first responders to a bioterrorism incident, possibly attributable to rigorous vaccine safety screening and educational programs, according to a study in the December 7 issue of JAMA. Routine childhood immunization against smallpox in the United States ceased in 1971, according to b...Blood sugar's manufacture limited by building blocks' supply
Researchers have discovered a factor that controls blood sugar's manufacture in a novel way: by limiting the supply of its building blocks. The findings are reported in the April issue of the journal Cell Metabolism, published by Cell Press. The study found that mice deficient for KLF15, a member of the so-called Krüppel-like family of transcription factors, become severely lacking in the...Power1401 laboratory interface from Cambridge Electronic Design Limited

A recent report indicates that Negative exercise electrocardiograph tests should be the first-line approach to risk stratification of hypertensive patients with chest pain. Even though negative findings identified those at low risk, positive findings could not distinguish levels of risk. The research also indicated that pharmacological stress echocardiography yielded diagnostic and prognostic inf...Doctors to Get Pay for Limited Strike Period : Supreme Court
The Supreme Court today directed the government to release salary of the doctors who participated in the recent anti-quota stir here. // A bench of Justice Arijit Pasayat and Justice L S Panta, however, clarified that the medicos will get salary only from May 14 to 30, the day the Apex court had asked them to resume their duties. The medicos had sought salary of period begi...Drug Advertising needs to be Limited
The American Medical Association has called for moratoriums on consumer advertising which promotes new drugs and medical devices until it is shown that the products// are safe and that they work.

More than half of all children in the most rural counties of the United States are hospitalized in more urban areas, according to a new study //by HHS Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality and other authors published in the September-October 2006 issue of Ambulatory Pediatrics. The study, which was led by AHRQ’s Frances Chevarley, Ph.D., analyzed access to and quality of health ca...Limited Calorie Intake Holds the Key to Delay Ageing
Recent research done on rhesus monkeys shows that ,limiting calorie intake may actually help increase life span. // Lesser calorie input seems to improve the functioning of important defensive cells in the immune system. Rhesus monkeys are said to be closely akin to human beings in their immune response mechanisms. These findings reflect that a reduction in calorie intake could augmen...Lactosorb SE Hex-Head Torque-Limited System
