Harmful Bacterium Commonly Found in Poultry May Survive Refrigeration and Frozen Storage Combined
Glia appear essential for 'hair cells'responsible for hearing and balance. Traditionally viewed as supportingactors, cells known as glia may be essential for the normal developmentof nerve cells responsible for hearing and balance, according to newUniversity of Utah research. The study is reported in the January 6,2005 issue of Neuron and is co-authored by scientists at the Universityof Was...Scientists reveal how disease bacterium survives inside immune system cell
New research on a bacterium that can survive encounters with specific immune system cells has strengthened scientists' belief that these plentiful white blood cells, known as neutrophils, dictate whether our immune system will permit or prevent bacterial infections. A paper describing the research was released today online in The Journal of Immunology. Frank R. DeLeo, Ph.D., of Rocky Mountain Lab...Discoveries by UAB and Florida scientists may help transplanted organs survive longer
Scientists may have found a way to dramatically slow organ transplant rejection by as much as several years. The research team reporte...Bacteria can survive for weeks on hospital surfaces
A major cause of hospital-acquired infections can persist for days and even weeks on environmental surfaces found in healthcare settings, including bed linens, computer keyboard covers and acrylic fingernails, according to research presented today at the 105th General Meeting of the American Society for Microbiology. Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a major cause of ho...Bacteria that cause tooth decay able to survive without important biochemical pathway
Leave it to the bacteria that cause tooth decay to be able to live without something all cells were thought to require. Scientists have long believed a certain biochemical pathway involved in the folding and delivery of proteins to cell membranes is essential for survival. Now University of Florida researchers have discovered that Streptococcus mutans, the decay-causing organism that thri...PDS survives with technological reinvention

In the last 24 months, many Wisconsin businesses have had to find new ways to compete. They discovered that previous paths to success no longer worked and most CEOs have taken a hard look at their companys value proposition. At the same time, these companies are attempting to be more effective, productive and competitive; all of this with fewer employees and in many cases with a shrinking market...Style Without Substance: Will HTML Email Survive Abuse?
While Internet pop-up windows exhale a dying breath, HTML-based email messages find themselves glimpsing a similar fate. Surveys in 2003 are showing that plain text email messages are becoming more popular, and more successful, than HTML counterparts. A July 10, 2003, survey indicated that 53% of AOL respondent...Women and Black Patients have less chances to survive a Heart Attack
New Haven, Conn. – Ever since the treatment methodologies to treat heart attacks improved and became standardised what has remained constant is the difference in survival between male and female patients, whites and blacks in the // USA. In one of the largest national studies on this topic in the US, the researchers have shown that the ‘use of clinically recommended treatments’ -...Medical Breakthrough - Kidney Transplant Recipient Survives Without Drugs
In what can be called a medical breakthrough, a Singaporean, who had a bone marrow transplant in July last year, survived a recent kidney transplant operation without taking drugs to prevent rejection//. Koh Hock Heng, 43, was diagnosed with kidney failure four years ago. Two years later, doctors discovered he also had a stem cell disease called myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). Accordi...Female Foetus Can Survive More Stress
The weaker male foetus can easily be destroyed by the stress that is caused by disasters like earthquakes and other natural calamities including severe famine.// The ones that manage to survive will have a longer life than average, according to a study conducted by researchers belonging to the University of California. Female foetuses are generally stronger than that of males. Mother...Men Who Survive Heart Attack Face Increased Osteoporosis Risk
Male heart attack survivors face an increased risk of bone loss and osteoporosis, later in life. The following is an observation of a study conducted by Jeanette H. Magnus // from Tulane University. It has been known for a long time that osteoporosis and heart disease share similar risk factors such as sedentary lifestyle, poor nutrition and smoking. However, the study is the first of...Refrigerated Stem Cells Survive 12 Times Longer with ProtoKinetix's AAGP
