A few home visits by a health care specialist to educate children with asthma about basic strategies for earlier symptom recognition and improving medication use can lead to fewer flare-ups and less frequent trips to the ER, according to research from Johns Hopkins Children’s Center published in the December issue of Pediatrics.
St. Louis, Nov. 30, 2009 — Pancreatic tumors can be identified by a readily detectable marker that shows promise as a basis for immune therapy against the disease, according to research at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis.
The marker is mesothelin, a protein normally found on mesothelial cells that line the body cavities.
Jupiter, Florida, November 30, 2009 — A study led by a Scripps Research Institute scientist describes a new, highly pragmatic approach to the identification of molecules that prevent a specific type of immune cells from attacking their host.
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — New analysis from the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) suggests that physicians need to re-think their diagnosis and treatment of sore throat, or pharyngitis, in adolescents and young adults to consider a more newly identified and potentially dangerous culprit as the source of that infection.
CORVALLIS, Ore. — New discoveries have been made about how an elevated level of lead, which is a neurotoxic heavy metal, can slow the progression of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or Lou Gehrig’s disease — findings that could point the way to a new type of therapy.

1. dark matter: the force that holds stars in the sky. it can be proven in several ways: dark matter neither absorbs or emits light, scientist can observe it by measuring the effects of its gravity. this can be easily seen when two galaxies collide. Scientist use special telescopes to detect the location and amount of mass during the collision.
Pioneering research using human brain tissue removed from people suffering from epilepsy has opened the door to new treatments for the disease.
Scientists at Newcastle University have for the first time been able to record spontaneous epileptic activity in brain tissue that has been removed from patients undergoing neurosurgery.
Led by Newcastle University’s Dr Mark Cunningham, the re
Malaria parasites are able to disguise themselves to avoid the host’s immune system, according to research funded by the Wellcome Trust and published today in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
Blind, nearly hairless, and looking something like toothy, plump, pink fingers, naked mole rats may rank among nature’s most maligned creatures, but their unusual physiology endears them to scientists.
Low-income women are four times more likely than higher-income women to report fair or poor health and nearly twice as likely to report a health condition that limits their basic physical activities, according to a new policy brief from the UCLA Center for Health Policy Research.
NASA satellites capture amazing views of tropical cyclones, and the Aqua and CloudSat satellites captured a top-down look at temperatures in Typhoon Nida’s clouds, and an image of what they look like from the side.
The Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite named GOES-14, is being placed in on-orbit storage this month to await its call to duty.
