OnlineAutoInsurance.com Explains Differences between Liability and No-Fault Coverage
2011-05-11
Practically every state in the nation requires that residents who own autos purchase car insurance coverage, but the necessary types and amounts differ widely. In a new FAQ from OnlineAutoInsurance.com, the writers explain the key aspects of the two main coverage systems in the U.S.: liability and no-fault.
All states with compulsory coverage laws require drivers to purchase some property damage liability insurance, which goes to pay for property repairs caused by the policyholder.
Where states differ, though, is how drivers get protected for bodily injury damages ...

Coffee reduces breast cancer risk
2011-05-11
Recently published research shows that coffee drinkers enjoy not only the taste of their coffee but also a reduced risk of cancer with their cuppa. More detailed research published today in BioMed Central's open access journal Breast Cancer Research shows that drinking coffee specifically reduces the risk of antiestrogen-resistant estrogen-receptor (ER)-negative breast cancer.
Researchers from Sweden compared lifestyle factors and coffee consumption between women with breast cancer and age-matched women without. They found that coffee drinkers had a lower incidence of ...
15 eggs is the perfect number needed to achieve a live birth after IVF
2011-05-11
An analysis of over 400,000 IVF cycles in the UK has shown that doctors should aim to retrieve around 15 eggs from a woman's ovaries in a single cycle in order to have the best chance of achieving a live birth after assisted reproduction technology.
The study, which is published online in Europe's leading reproductive medicine journal Human Reproduction [1], found that there was a strong relationship between live birth rates and the number of eggs retrieved in one cycle. The live birth rate rose with an increasing number of eggs up to about 15; it levelled off between ...
Drug regulators are protecting profits over patients, warn researchers
2011-05-11
Medicines regulators are protecting drug company profits rather than the lives and welfare of patients by withholding unpublished trial data, argue researchers on bmj.com today.
They call for full access to full trial reports (published and unpublished) to allow the true benefits and harms of treatments to be independently assessed by the scientific community.
Despite the existence of hundreds of thousands of clinical trials, doctors are unable to choose the best treatments for their patients because research results are being reported selectively, write Professor ...
RNA spurs melanoma development
2011-05-11
ORLANDO, Fla., May 10, 2011 –Traditionally, RNA was mostly known as the messenger molecule that carries protein-making instructions from a cell's nucleus to the cytoplasm. But scientists now estimate that approximately 97 percent of human RNA doesn't actually code for proteins at all. A flurry of research in the past decade has revealed that some types of non-coding RNAs switch genes on and off and influence protein function. The best studied non-coding RNAs are the microRNAs. Now, researchers led by Dr. Ranjan Perera at Sanford-Burnham Medical Research Institute (Sanford-Burnham) ...
McMaster scientists find protein’s bad guy role in prostate cancer
2011-05-11
Hamilton, ON (May 10, 2011) – It's a disease affecting those closest to us – our fathers, brothers and sons.
Prostate cancer impacts one in six men in Canada. Last year, roughly 24,600 men were diagnosed with the disease.
Most types of prostate cancer are curable if caught and treated early. But little is understood about the mechanisms that cause a tumour to metastasize and spread to other parts of the body.
Damu Tang, an associate professor of medicine in the Division of Nephrology of the McMaster University's Michael G. DeGroote School of Medicine and St. Joseph's ...
Successful depression treatment of mothers has long-term effects on offspring
2011-05-11
DALLAS – May 10, 2011 – Children whose mothers are successfully treated for depression show progressive and marked improvement in their own behaviors even a year after their moms discontinue treatment, new UT Southwestern Medical Center-led research shows.
Additionally, the faster mothers got better, the faster their kids improved – and the greater the degree of improvement experienced.
"If you treat the mother when she is depressed and don't even go through the process of treating the children of these mothers, they still get better as their mothers get better," said ...
CO2 makes life difficult for algae
2011-05-11
The acidification of the world's oceans could have major consequences for the marine environment. New research shows that coccoliths, which are an important part of the marine environment, dissolve when seawater acidifies.
Associate Professor Tue Hassenkam and colleagues at the Nano-Science Center, University of Copenhagen, are the first to have measured how individual coccoliths react to water with different degrees of acidity.
Coccoliths are very small shells of calcium carbonate that encapsulate a number of species of alga. Algae plays an important role in the global ...
Noted researcher addresses multiple dimensions of video game effects in new journal article
2011-05-11
AMES, Iowa -- Douglas Gentile is painfully aware of how research on the effects of video games on kids is often oversimplified to say that games are either "good" or "bad." The associate professor of psychology at Iowa State University has had his own research typecast on the "bad" side with studies on violent video game's effects and video game addiction, even though he's also done studies demonstrating the benefits of games.
A new article by Gentile appearing in the journal Child Development Perspectives argues that existing video game literature can't be classified ...
