Substance protects resilient staph bacteria
Researchers have identified a promising new target in their fight against a dangerous bacterium that sickens people in hospitals, especially people who receive medical implants such as catheters, artificial joints and heart valves. A substance found on the surface of Staphylococcus epidermidis has, for the first time, been shown to protect the harmful pathogen from natural human defense m...Grasping metaphors: UC San Diego research ties brain area to figures of speech
What does it take to fathom a proverb ?catch the figurative meaning of "an apple doesn't fall far from the tree"? According to research led by V. S. Ramachandran, director of the Center for Brain and Cognition at the University of California, San Diego, a region of the brain known as the angular gyrus is probably at least partly responsible for the human ability to understand metaphor.</p...A Vaccine for pigs could help save the 50,000 people a year in poor countries killed by a gruesome parasite. Initial trials suggest it is nearly 100 per cent effective. The vaccine, developed by a team at the University of Melbourne, Australia, targets a tapeworm called Taenia solium. The adult form, caught from eating undercooked pork, grows only inside the human intestine, stealing nutri...
Emerging staph strains found to be increasingly deadly and deceptive
A study of how the immune system reacts to strains of antibiotic-resistant Staphylococcus aureus bacteria--emerging strains that sicken otherwise healthy people, or so-called "community-acquired" infections--has shown for the first time that these strains are more deadly and better at evading human immune defenses than more common S. aureus strains that originate in hospitals and other health-car...Environmental metagenomics diagnosing extreme environments, tapping opportunities for clean energy
In his recent State of the Union speech President Bush said technology is the best way to break the nation's addiction to oil. The U.S. Department of Energy Joint Genome Institute (DOE JGI) is directing the technology of DNA sequencing to scan the environment for processes that will lead to cheaper and easier to produce biofuels.

Metapneumovirus - a common cause of adults' colds, kids' illness
Researchers are beginning to piece together the scope of this ubiquitous but overlooked bug, which now appears to afflict just about everybody, probably over and over.Even though the virus seems to be rarely serious, its vast presence intrigues microbiologists.// Like many other respiratory bugs, this one is most likely to cause severe illness in infants encountering it for the first...Cataplexy, transient episodes of bilateral muscle weakness with areflexia provoked by emotions, is a state highly specific to narcolepsy. Cataplexy is diagnosed based on clinical interview. Two screening tools have been // developed recently but their usefulness has been limited because of length or current lack of psychometric data. Used effectively even these screening tests require...
Yoga Guru Ramdev Invited to Tap Ayurveda Potential by Jharkhand Govt

The government is likely to sign a memorandum of understanding (MoU...Allergic reaction to DTaP vaccine persists in children
It is a must for every child to be vaccinated against diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis. The fifth and last vaccine (DTaP) given to children causes a red splotch to develop on the area. This reaction can last a few days and the problem is that// neither of two common drugs--ibuprofen (Advil) and acetaminophen (Tylenol)--help prevent this side effect. A Group Health Cooperative study appear...Is There A Strong Link Between Fluoride In Tap Water And Bone Cancer?
In the previous studies it was brought to the public’s notice that fluoride in water causes discolored teeth. It causes fluorosis and does not protect// the teeth from cavities. But now Dr. Chester Douglass and other Harvard researchers reported that fluoridated tap water pose a great risk of boys developing for a rare bone cancer. Douglass is an epidemiology professor at Harvard’s Schoo...tap at Medicine Products
