Effective control of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) requires treatment of the sexual partners of infected patients. A new study shows that providing infected men with antibiotics to give their partners is more effective than traditional means of contacting and treating the partners, according to an article in the Sept. 1 issue of Clinical Infectious Diseases, now available online. Men with...Errors in the measurement of global warming corrected
The effect of the sun's heat on weather balloons largely accounts for a data discrepancy that has long contributed to a dispute over the existence of global warming, according to a report by scientists at Yale University and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). The report, to be published in the journal Science, says that direct heat of the sun on temperature probes...Measurement of proteasome inhibition in live cells in Molecular Devices microplate fluorometers
Proteins inside eukaryotic cells exist in a dynamic state, in a highly-regulated balance between synthesis and degradation. Whereas prot...Study On Self Measurement Of Blood Pressure
There are two types of blood pressures -- systolic pressure is created by the contraction of the heart muscle pushing blood // into the vessels and diastolic pressure is when the heart is at rest between beats. The normal blood pressure for adults is 120/80. The first number in a blood pressure reading is the systolic pressure and the second, or bottom, number is the diastolic pressure....LDH Measurement Can Predict Outlook Of Patients With SCD
Individuals, more specifically adults at risk of developing sickle cell disease related complications could be identified by a simple test // that measures the levels of the enzyme lactate dehydrogenase (LDH). Sickle cell disease is a genetic disorder characterized by sickle shaped red blood cells with compromised oxygen carrying capacity. Kidney, heart, liver and red blood cells are...Childhood Obesity Vs Malnutrition- A Spotlight On WHO Obesity Measurement For Kids
In an attempt to assess and ensure health of children worldwide, a battery of standardized measurement tests to monitor children's growth//, motor development and nutritional status has been recommended by the World Health Organization. It is hoped that this WHO initiative would enable health care workers to take appropriate measures to equalize both ends of the child health spectrum....Zone Quick Tear Volume Measurement
