Physiological effects of reduced gravity on bacteria
An article in Journal of Applied Microbiology investigates how bacteria respond when they are subjected to environmental alterations, such as those of space stations, which feature lowered effects of gravity. "Intra-specific differences in bacterial responses to modeled reduced gravity" by Paul W. Baker and Laura G. Leff describes differences in bacterial responses to reduced gravity and h...Very low birth weight linked to reduced quality of life in pre-school children
Babies with very low birth weights tend to have a much lower quality of life when they are three or four years old, according to a study published in the latest issue of the UK-based Journal of Advanced Nursing. Researchers assessed 118 children who had birth weights of 1500g or less and compared them with a control group of 170 born at normal weights to compare their quality of life when...Concentrated Epitope Retrieval Buffer-Reduced pH from Bethyl Laboratories

A study was conducted with 400,000 people from nine countries, who were divided into five sets according to their consumption of fiber and presented at an International Conference in France. This study showed that fiber was particularly important in reducing cancer of the colon and rectum. Medical experts believe up to 30% of all cancers in the developed world are associated with n...Reduced POD linked to fatal asthma attacks
Asthmatic patients with reduced perception of dyspnoea (POD) may be at increased risk of experiencing a life-threatening exacerbation of their condition.// It was found that patients with low POD had significantly more emergency department visits, hospitalisations, fatal asthma attacks and deaths during a 2 year study period than those with normal dyspnoea perception. The patients wi...Boys reduced mother's life expectancy
According to researchers, scientists, having sons cut mothers' lives short, looking at families 250 years back. They felt that the pattern might still be seen in developing countries today. The team from Toronto looked at church records// for the Sanu people, who lived in Scandinavia between the 18th and 20th centuries. The Sanu depended on reindeer herding, fishing and hunting for th...Bone loss can be reduced by Potassium
According to recent study, researchers have found that bone loss can be tremendously reduced by potassium supplements. Treatment for kidney stones has the spin-off of increasing bone density. Potassium citrate is often given as a treatment// for kidney stones. Hence it has been lseen, how potassium supplements affect bone density in these patients. They looked at 15 women and men who...Risk of dementia reduced hypertension drugs
According to a new study it is observed that reducing blood pressure by medication can reduce the risk of dementia by half. It is already known that hypertension (high blood pressure) increases the risk of vascular dementia// and Alzheimer's disease. In a study carried out by doctors in Dallas, the effect of lowering blood pressure on dementia rates has been examined. A group of patie...Reduced 2000 series revised ETDRS Translucent Charts
Description:These revised charts incorporate the slight change in the difficulty score for each of the 10 Sloan letters derived from the best corrected visual acuity examinations of 7420 eyes during the ETDRS study. The original charts difficulty scores were derived from the examination of 234 eyes. In addition to the revised arrangement of letters which resulted in the ultimate homogeneity of difficulty per...Blood Bank QC of Leukoreduced Products
