New climate stress index model challenges doomsday forecasts for world's coral reefs Posted: 01 Jun 2015 02:29 PM PDT |
Inexperienced investors should take advantage of 'auto-pilot investing' Posted: 01 Jun 2015 02:29 PM PDT Use of target-date is a positive trend that will help inexperienced investors invest safely without risking significant losses based on their lack of knowledge, an expert writes. Target-date funds, which were endorsed by Congress in the Pension Protection Act of 2006, are also known as life-cycle funds. This means that TDFs change their asset mix of stocks and bonds based on the age of the investor. |

New color blindness cause identified: Finding suggests potential therapeutic targets Posted: 01 Jun 2015 02:25 PM PDT |
New method may eliminate antibiotic use in livestock Posted: 01 Jun 2015 02:25 PM PDT An animal scientist has developed an antibiotic-free method to protect animals raised for food against common infections. The innovation comes as growing public concern about antibiotic resistance has induced McDonald's, Tyson Foods and other industry giants to announce major cuts in antibiotic use in meat production. About 80 percent of antibiotics in the United States are used by farmers, because they both protect against disease and accelerate weight gain in many farm animals. |
Picture perfect: Researchers use photos to understand how diabetes affects kids Posted: 01 Jun 2015 11:53 AM PDT If a picture is worth a thousand words, Type 1 diabetes researchers have tapped into an encyclopedia, revealing new insights into how young people cope with the disease. The study found key differences in adolescents of different genders and socioeconomic classes that could shape patient care and diabetes education, especially for boys and less-affluent young people. |

Britain’s oldest sauropod dinosaur identified from fossil bone that fell from a cliff face Posted: 01 Jun 2015 11:15 AM PDT Experts have identified Britain's oldest sauropod dinosaur from a fossil bone discovered on the Yorkshire coast. The vertebra (backbone) originates from a group of dinosaurs that includes the largest land animals to have ever walked on Earth. This new sauropod dinosaur, from the Middle Jurassic Period at about 176 million years old, was found near Whitby, Yorkshire, after it fell out of a cliff face. This find represents the earliest skeletal record of this type of dinosaur from the United Kingdom and adds to existing evidence from Yorkshire dinosaur tracks that this part of the country was once Britain's very own 'Jurassic World'. |

At peak fertility, women who desire to maintain body attractiveness report they eat less Posted: 01 Jun 2015 09:25 AM PDT Women near peak fertility -- those nearing ovulation -- and who are motivated to manage their body appearance, reported they desire to lose weight and so ate fewer calories. Previous ovulation research has attributed reduced eating solely to neuroendocrinological factors. The new findings indicate an additional factor is a woman's concern about her body appearance, say authors. |
Civilian physicians feel underprepared to treat veterans, survey finds Posted: 01 Jun 2015 09:25 AM PDT A survey of nearly 150 U.S. physicians who frequently treat veterans found civilian doctors aren't adequately trained in health issues related to military service. More than half of the respondent indicated they were not comfortable discussing health-related exposures and risks that veterans might experience such as depleted uranium, smoke and chemical weapons. |
Fructose contributes to weight gain, physical inactivity, and body fat, researchers find Posted: 01 Jun 2015 09:25 AM PDT Matched calorie for calorie with the simple sugar glucose, fructose causes significant weight gain, physical inactivity, and body fat deposition, a new study has concluded. Because of the addition of high-fructose corn syrup to many soft drinks and processed baked goods, fructose currently accounts for 10 percent of caloric intake for U.S. citizens. |
The ebb and flow of Greenland's glaciers Posted: 01 Jun 2015 09:25 AM PDT In northwestern Greenland, glaciers flow from the main ice sheet to the ocean in see-sawing seasonal patterns. The ice generally flows faster in the summer than in winter, and the ends of glaciers, jutting out into the ocean, also advance and retreat with the seasons. Now, a new analysis shows some important connections between these seasonal patterns, sea ice cover and longer-term trends. |
Study links exposure to common pesticide with ADHD in boys Posted: 01 Jun 2015 09:25 AM PDT A new study links a commonly used household pesticide with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder in children and young teens. The study found an association between pyrethroid pesticide exposure and ADHD, particularly in terms of hyperactivity and impulsivity, rather than inattentiveness. The association was stronger in boys than in girls. |
Missing link found between brain, immune system; major disease implications Posted: 01 Jun 2015 09:24 AM PDT In a stunning discovery that overturns decades of textbook teaching, researchers have determined that the brain is directly connected to the immune system by vessels previously thought not to exist. The discovery could have profound implications for diseases from autism to Alzheimer's to multiple sclerosis. |

Scientists reveal epigenome maps of the human body's major organs Posted: 01 Jun 2015 09:24 AM PDT While the genome of an individual is the same in every cell, epigenomes vary since they are closely related to the genes a cell is actually using at any given time. A new atlas of human organ epigenomes provides a starting place to understand the role of chemical markers in development, health and disease. |
Researcher discovers metabolite of prostate cancer drug more effective at treating aggressive tumors Posted: 01 Jun 2015 09:24 AM PDT A metabolite of an FDA-approved drug for metastatic prostate cancer, abiraterone, has more anti-cancer properties than its precursor, researchers have discovered for the first time. Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men, with nearly 240,000 new cases diagnosed each year in the United State. |
Medical home intervention with shared savings shows quality, utilization improvements Posted: 01 Jun 2015 09:24 AM PDT By paying bonuses to participating medical practices based on reaching quality and spending benchmarks, shared savings contracts created direct financial incentives to contain the costs and utilization of care without compromising the quality of care. This intervention also helped practices develop care management systems, and health plans gave participating practices timely data on their patients' use of hospitals and emergency departments. |

Thin coating on condensers could make power plants more efficient Posted: 01 Jun 2015 08:22 AM PDT Most of the world's electricity-producing power plants -- whether powered by coal, natural gas, or nuclear fission -- make electricity by generating steam that turns a turbine. That steam then is condensed back to water, and the cycle begins again. But the condensers that collect the steam are quite inefficient, and improving them could make a big difference in overall power plant efficiency. A thin coating on condensers could make power plants more efficient, scientists now report. |

New perspective on phantom eye syndrome Posted: 01 Jun 2015 08:22 AM PDT Approximately half of patients who have an eye removed because of a form of eye cancer experience `phantom eye syndrome,' new research concludes. Patients with the condition experience "seeing" and pain in the eye that is no longer there. Researchers assessed 179 patients whose eye had been removed as a result of a cancer, called intraocular melanoma. |

Circular orbits of small exoplanets: Which Earth-sized exoplanets are potentially habitable? Posted: 01 Jun 2015 07:47 AM PDT Viewed from above, our solar system's planetary orbits around the sun resemble rings around a bulls-eye. Each planet, including Earth, keeps to a roughly circular path, always maintaining the same distance from the sun. For decades, astronomers have wondered whether the solar system's circular orbits might be a rarity in our universe. Now a new analysis suggests that such orbital regularity is instead the norm, at least for systems with planets as small as Earth. |
Common antibiotic part of a new potential pancreatic cancer therapy Posted: 01 Jun 2015 07:47 AM PDT A new promising combination therapy has been discovered for the treatment of one of the most deadly and difficult cancers to manage. Scientists developed a novel combination of an experimental drug and a common antibiotic that has shown encouraging results in treating pancreatic cancer in preclinical experiments. |
