Tropical Atlantic cooling and African deforestation correlate to drought, report scientists
Against the backdrop of the Montreal Summit on global climate being held this week, an article on African droughts and monsoons, by a University of California, Santa Barbara scientist and others, which appears in the December issue of the journal Geology, underlines concern about the effects of global climate change. Tropical ocean temperatures and land vegetation have an important effect...High dopamine transporter levels not correlated with ADHD
Results from a brain-imaging study conducted at the U.S. Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory in collaboration with Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York indicate that levels of a brain protein proposed as a diagnostic marker for attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are not positively correlated with the disease. In fact, the study found lower levels of these "dop...Loss of stem cells correlates with premature aging in animal study
Researchers at the Abramson Family Cancer Research Institute of the University of Pennsylvania have found that deleting a gene important in embryo development leads to premature aging and loss of stem cell reservoirs in adult mice. This gene, ATR, is essential for the body’s response to damaged DNA, and mutations in proteins in the DNA damage response underlie certain types of cancer and other...Scan correlates susceptible heart plaque
According to a recent study, a combined scan identifies unstable areas of plaque in coronary arteries that may signify danger of heart attack in the future. Fatty deposits, known as plaque, set the scene for heart disease. The build up of plaque - atherosclerosis - begins many years before any symptoms occur.// The plaque narrows the arteries, and may eventually crack, instigating formati...Symptoms In Dementia Patients Negatively Correlates With The Characteristics Of Caregivers
WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. – According to researchers from Wake Forest University School of Medicine and colleagues, symptoms like wandering, hallucinations// and restlessness associated with dementia are found to increase if the patients' caregivers are young, less educated, over-burdened or depressed. ‘These symptoms are part of the disease and the caregivers aren't causing them, but certa..."Macbeth effect"- study correlates cleanliness and conscience!!
A recent study reveals that guilty minds may send people rushing for soap!// People who recollect acting unethically are more attracted to cleansing products than those who recall behaving ethically. This was reported in the study published in Science. Chen-Bo Zhong, of the Rotman School of Management at Canada's University of Toronto and Katie Liljenquist, a graduate studen...Loss of Stem Cells Correlates With Premature Aging
