Measuring the impact of post-genomics on Mediterranean populations
A recent Genomed-Health 2005 workshop in Tunisia, supported by the European Commission, highlighted the role of the life sciences in improving health in countries bordering the Mediterranean Sea. Delegates at the event also discussed the importance of Euro-Mediterranean partnerships in order to capitalise on post-genomic research. The life sciences ?in particular following the mapping of t...Oldest cranial, dental and postcranial fossils of early modern European humans confirmed
The human fossil evidence from the Mladec Caves in Moravia, Czech Republic, excavated more than 100 years ago, has been proven for the first time, through modern radiocarbon dating, to be the oldest cranial, dental and postcranial assemblage of early modern humans in Europe. A team of researchers from the Natural History Museum in Vienna, from the University of Vienna in Austria and from t...The molecular post office inside the cell
For most proteins, there is a particular place inside a cell where they carry out their function. But how do they get there? Scientists from the Charité Berlin, the University of Heidelberg, and the Max Planck Institute for Molecular Genetics in Berlin have now been able to visualize the structure of a "molecular machine" involved in protein sorting using cryo-electron microscopy and single part...Nano springs eternal; Protozoan 'engine' posts nano records
Looking through his handmade microscope in 1702, it was Anton van Leeuwenhoek who first described the workings of a nano machine. He observed the rapid contraction of a stalk tethering the cell body of a tiny protozoan, Vorticella convallaria, to the surface of a leaf. Little did van Leeuwenhoek imagine that more than 300 years later, the biological spring that drives Vorticella would set records...Cy5 Post-Labeling Reactive Dye Pack from GE Healthcare, formerly Amersham Biosciences

James F. Eliason, Ph.D., Asterand plc The path to identification of new and improved drugs for the treatment of human diseases often begins with the identification of novel gene targets through RNA expression analysis. Most high throughput gene expression profiling studies use high density microarrays, wh...Fusion 2007: Innovation drives productivity in post 24x7 world
You can't work 25 hours a day. So several speakers at the Fusion 2007 CEO-CIO Symposium on Tuesday and Wednesday tried to drive home the point that "work smarter, not harder" is more than just an age-old mantra. Michael Knetter, dean of the University of Wisconsin-Madison School of Business, summed it up: "When productivity grows, our standard of living goes up," Knetter said. To him, pr...Third Wave posts $22 million loss, stock rises
As a company in transition, Third Wave expected something of a rough patch. It has a new focus on the clinical market, rather than research...Transdermal HRT not cardioprotective in postmenopausal women with CAD
Transdermal hormone replacement therapy (HRT) does not reduce the risk of cardiac events in postmenopausal women with existing coronary artery disease (CAD). In the PHASE trial (Papworth HRT Atherosclerosis Study), researchers randomized 255 postmenopausal women with angiographically proven coronary artery disease to receive either transdermal HRT--17-beta-estradiol with or without cy...Transdermal HRT not cardioprotective in postmenopausal women with Coronary Artery Disease
Transdermal hormone replacement therapy (HRT) does not reduce the risk of cardiac events in postmenopausal women with existing coronary artery disease (CAD). In the PHASE trial (Papworth HRT Atherosclerosis Study), researchers randomized 255 postmenopausal women with angiographically proven coronary artery disease to receive either transdermal HRT--17-beta-estradiol with or without cy...Distraction therapy found very effective in postoperative patients
Controlling pain in patients following surgeries has been effectively taken care of by a new therapy called distraction therapy. Doctors at the Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions in the US have distracted patients with images and sounds from nature and have successfully controlled pain in patients following a painful procedure called bronchoscopy, which involves inserting the tube into t...Sleep apnoea increases post-operative risks
People with sleep apnoea (shortness of breath) experience a greater risk of complications after elective knee or hip replacement. In sleep apnoea - which is most common in obese people - the muscles of the back of the throat relax during sleep and so obstruct the airways. The person stops breathing, momentarily, many times during the night and levels of oxygen in the blood fall.// Res...Refreshing Assam Tea Now At The Nearest Post Office
