Evidence emerges of ancient lake in California's Eel River
2011-11-15
A catastrophic landslide 22,500 years ago dammed the upper reaches of northern California's Eel River, forming a 30-mile-long lake which has since disappeared. It left a living legacy found today in the genes of the region's steelhead trout.
Using remote-sensing technology known as airborne Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) and hand-held global-positioning-systems (GPS) units, scientists recently found evidence for a late Pleistocene, landslide-dammed lake along the river.
Today the Eel river is 200 miles long, carved into the ground from high in the California Coast ...
The first step to change: Focusing on the negative
2011-11-15
If you want people to change the current system, or status quo, first you have to get them to notice what's wrong with it. That's the idea behind a new study to be published in Psychological Science, a journal of the Association for Psychological Science, which finds that people pay attention to negative information about the system when they believe the status quo can change.
"Take America's educational system. You could find some flaws in that system," says India Johnson, a graduate student at Ohio State University who did the new study with Professor Kentaro Fujita. ...

Vascular risk linked to long-term antiepileptic drug therapy
2011-11-15
New research reveals that patients with epilepsy who were treated for extended periods with older generation antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) may be at increased risk for developing atherosclerosis, a common disorder known as hardening of the arteries. According to the findings now available in Epilepsia, the journal of the International League Against Epilepsy (ILAE), the vascular risk is significantly associated with the duration of AED monotherapy.
While the majority of epilepsy patients have good results with treatment, more than 30% of patients continue to have seizures ...

New hi-tech survey accelerates collection of vaccination data
2011-11-15
New technology now makes it possible to collect 'near real-time' data about whether people are having any side effects from vaccination. By studying people who received the 2009-10 swine flu vaccination in Scotland, researchers showed that this rapid reporting can add another layer of safety to future vaccination campaigns. In addition, the data collected revealed no significant safety issues in patients exposed to the vaccine. The project's report has just been published in the British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology.
In 2009, the UK Government recommended that some ...
New study finds that PROMETAT, a controversial methamphetamine treatment program, is ineffective
2011-11-15
A recent study has found that PROMETAT, a popular but controversial treatment for methamphetamine addiction, is no more effective than placebo in reducing methamphetamine use, keeping users in treatment, or reducing cravings for methamphetamine.

Methamphetamine, also known as meth, crystal meth, or ice, is the second most abused illicit drug in the world (cannabis is first), with 15-16 million regular users. The United States ...
Convex Mirrors Now Required on Registered Trucks in NYC
2011-11-15
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo recently signed a law requiring large trucks registered in New York City to have convex mirrors on the front of the vehicle. Cuomo believes the convex mirrors will help truck operators see pedestrians or other objects directly in front of them in order to provide improved safety for pedestrians.
The new law is meant to eliminate blind spots for larger vehicles. Trucks with a maximum weight of 26,000 pounds will be required to add the crossover mirrors. The law has been discussed several times in the past, but finally got the boost it needed ...
