Learning to fight an adversary that won't stay down

New biomolecular technologies have largely failed to deliver the hoped-for knockout punch breakthrough against the defences of disease-causing bacteria, says a leading Canadian specialist in antibiotic resistance. Techniques such as genomic sequencing and high throughput screening were expected to make the development of new antibiotic compounds easier and more productive. But in most cas...

Unlike other mammals, newborn dolphins and orcas stay active 24/7 during first months of development

If you thought the sleep-deprived months with your newborn were tough, pity the poor mother dolphin or killer whale. Reporting in the June 30 edition of the peer-reviewed journal Nature, UCLA/Veterans Affairs neuroscientists report a developmental pattern in bottlenose dolphins and killer whales that is unique from other mammals, with calves of both species active 24 hours a day during th...

Researchers use dirt to stay one step ahead of antibiotic resistance

Dirt may be a key to how bacteria that infect humans develop a resistance to antibiotic drugs. In an article in the January 20 issue of the journal Science, McMaster University researchers say that study of bacteria found in dirt may be the key in identifying how and why antibiotic resistance happens in bacteria that infect people, predicting future clinical problems, and testing new antib...

How nerve cells stay in shape

Nerve cells store and transmit information via special contact sites called synapses. Synapses also play a role in determining what we remember and what we forget. When we learn, both the structure and the functional characteristics of these contact sites change. Scientists are only now beginning to understand the molecular processes which cause that change. Researchers led by Michael Kie...

Poison dart frog mimics gain when birds learn to stay away

Studying neotropical poison dart frogs, biologists at the University of Texas at Austin uncovered a new way that the frog species can evolve to look similar, and it hinges on the way predators learn to avoid the toxic, brightly colored amphibians. In the Mar. 8 issue of Nature, Catherine Darst and Molly Cummings show that a harmless, colorful frog living in the Amazonian rainforest gets p...

RedPrairie: Will they stay, or will they go?

It was 1983, and Wisconsin had just elected liberal Democrat Tony Earl as governor. Earl attempted to address a budget deficit with an income tax increase, and Smith issued a dire warning about the impac...

Cell-phone satisfaction stays low, says Consumer Reports

Less than half of cell-phone users really like the service they are getting, a Consumer Reports survey shows. The survey asked 50,000 people to recount experiences with static, "dead" zones, dropped calls and more, and ended up finding that cell-phone service is one of the lowest-ranked services nationwide in consumer's minds. And to top it off, almost a third of cell-phone users are ser...

Stay in the driver's seat, but don't ditch technology

Easy. I am not trying to start some kind of technology for technology's sake argument here. It's very clear that not even the people who are in the business of building and selling technology should head down that path. However, in the last twenty or so years as wave a...

Eat Vitamin C and stay young

Researchers at Vanderbilt University and the National Institutes of Health say that recommended daily allowance of vitamin C for healthy young women should be raised from 75 to 90 milligrams a day. Eating a variety of fruits and vegetables can more than satisfy the recommended allowance, said Dr. Mark Levine, lead author of a new study supporting the increase for women.'We've been reco...

Stay young the Chinese way

Humans no longer have to fear of losing the battle against senility since a group of Chinese scientists announced recently that they have created a highly effective drug to retard the aging process. Li Changling, a Beijing University professor, who led the team of scientists, said he and his colleagues have detected the existence, in their repeated experiments, of a powerful anti-ox...

Have sex and stay young

Quite a lot of what we fancy, apparently, does good, scientists have claimed. Couples who have sex at least four times a week look more than 10 years younger than the average adult who makes love twice a week, says consultant neuro-psychologist Dr David Weeks, who has made a 10-year study of the subject. "Pleasure derived from sex is a crucial factor in preserving youth. It makes u...

Stay away from strenouous work

Pregnant women whose job is physically demanding - or who do shift work - could face more childbirth problems, say scientists. A major study in the US showed that this heavy work was associated with premature delivery, high blood pressure and underweight babies. Jobs which involved long periods of standing up, shift work and fatiguing work were also significantly linked with prematur...

Staying mentally energitic prevents Alzheimer's

A new study shows there is some truth in the 'use it or lose it' advice when it comes keeping the brain active. It is long been believed that mental stimulation can protect the brain from Alzheimer's disease.// Researchers at the Rush Alzheimer's Disease Centre in the US now reveal new evidence for this. The report is part of the ongoing Religious Orders Study, involving the cognitive hea...
