Just 2 drinks slow reactions in older people
2010-09-23
Blood alcohol levels below the current legal limit for driving have a significant negative effect on a person's dexterity. Researchers writing in the open access journal BMC Research Notes found that just two single vodka and orange drinks were enough to make senior volunteers struggle at an obstacle avoidance test while walking.
Judith Hegeman worked with a team of researchers from Sint Maartenskliniek, Nijmegen, The Netherlands, to carry out the tests in 13 healthy men and women (average age 61.5yrs or 62yrs). She said, "The results clearly show that even with low ...
Discovery may pave way for new approaches to prevent infections in the womb
2010-09-23
Researchers funded by the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council
(BBSRC) have established in mice the mechanism that detects and responds to the
presence of bacteria in the womb - a discovery that opens up the possibility of
new preventative treatments for diseases like pelvic inflammatory disease and
Chlamydia.
The work, led by Professor Martin Sheldon from Swansea University's School of
Medicine, is published today (22 September) in PLoS ONE.
Professor Sheldon said: "Infections of the womb are common and can lead to
infertility and early labour, ...

Less pain for learning gain
2010-09-23
EVANSTON, Ill. --- Scientists long have recognized that many perceptual skills important for language comprehension and reading can be enhanced through practice. Now research from Northwestern University suggests a new way of training that could reduce by at least half the effort previously thought necessary to make learning gains.
The research also may be the first behavioral demonstration of metaplasticity -- the idea that experiences that on their own do not generate learning can influence how effective later experiences are at generating learning.
"Prior to our ...
