Recent breakthroughs in common adult leukemia highlighted in New England Journal of Medicine
When the most common adult leukemia in the United States was last reviewed by the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) in 1995, it was seen through the eyes of theories that dated back to the 1960s. As such, the journal recently invited three of the world's foremost experts on chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) to write an authoritative update covering the transformation in the scientific commu...Recent, rapid climate change is driving evolution of animal species
Rapid climate changes over the past several decades have led to heritable, genetic changes in animals as diverse as squirrels, birds and mosquitoes, according to University of Oregon evolutionary geneticists. Writing in the "Perspectives" section of the June 9 issue of SCIENCE, William E. Bradshaw, professor of biology, and Christina Holzapfel, biology research associate, show that diverse...Recently discovered species gain protection
The chestnut-capped piha is an unassuming robin-sized bird restricted to a few tiny remnant forest patches in the Antioquia Department of Colombia, in the Central Cordillera of the Andes. It is so restricted in its distribution that it evaded discovery until 1999, and has been identified by the Alliance for Zero Extinction as a priority conservation species (see <A HREF="http://www.zeroextinctio...Recent developments in the protection of trademarks on the Internet

A recent article published in 'Diabetes Care' discussed about a study conducted by Dr.Vijay Jayagopal and his colleagues from the Hull Royal Infirmary in the UK, which tried to understand the benefits of dietary supplements on type 2 diabetes patients. The study was conducted on 35 post menopausal women with type 2 diabetes who //either rece...Hormone regimen and how recently used may determine cancer risk
A new study of 3,823 post-menopausal women found that continuous combined hormone therapy(estrogen combined with 25 to 31 days per month of progestin use) was associated with an increased breast cancer risk among current users of the regimen who had been taking it for five or more years. The study however did not find any association// between use of continuous combined hormone therapy and breast...Recent Study On Rats May Lead To Future Robotics
The findings of a recent study done on rats has shed light on how brain controls movement say researchers. By activating a single brain cell in a rat can make its whiskers twitch, a discovery researchers say //could help decipher how the brain controls movement. Eventually this could help scientists develop devices paralyzed people could control, such as robotic arms. Initially research...Novel Strain Detected In The Recent Outbreak Of Bird Flu At Ukraine
A new and deadly strain of bird flu outbreak was detected in Ukraine (Crimea peninsula) and hence domestic birds are killed and put in pits that were dug for the purpose//. Health workers and emergency workers are recruited to get their hands on all the birds including (chickens, ducks and geese) and destroy them thereby the outbreak can be contained. Compensation was given to all villagers for e...Recent Poultry Deaths Rocks Romania
Bird flu was first detected in October near Danube Delta, Romania. But now new cases of deaths of birds have been reported recently. // The bird flu disaster is slowly creeping in all directions from the Danube Delta. This delta is a largest wetland in Europe and is an important migratory route for all the birds that come to Europe. Health officials today reported that more t...
