What do killer whales eat in the Arctic?

2012-01-30

Killer whales (Orcinus orca) are the top marine predator, wherever they are found, and seem to eat everything from schools of small fish to large baleen whales, over twice their own size. The increase in hunting territories available to killer whales in the Arctic due to climate change and melting sea ice could seriously affect the marine ecosystem balance. New research published in BioMed Central's re-launched open access journal Aquatic Biosystems has combined scientific observations with Canadian Inuit traditional knowledge to determine killer whale behaviour and diet ...

How Long Do Starbursts and Halos Last After LASIK Surgery?

2012-01-30

Halos, starbursts, and glare are all potential complications with LASIK surgery. These instances can be caused by two factors: - The corneal flap not adhering properly after surgery - The pupil dilating to a size larger than the treatment zone Your risk for corneal flap problems may be reduced with bladeless LASIK, but this complication is still possible no matter what type of LASIK you choose to have. Fortunately, most people experience this rare side effect for little more than 30 days. During this period, you will have follow-up visits with your eye doctor. ...

Benefits of a Facelift

2012-01-30

Since the introduction of BOTOX Cosmetic, nonsurgical facial rejuvenation treatments have exploded. They have become the most popular option for people seeking to rejuvenate their appearance, and have led to a significant decline in the popularity of facelifts. However, in recent years the trend has been reversing. People have come to realize that a facelift has certain benefits no nonsurgical treatment can match. Nothing Does What a Facelift Does There is currently no nonsurgical facial rejuvenation procedure that can accomplish what a facelift can. Facial aging ...

Sonicating sperm -- the future of male contraception

2012-01-30

The ideal male contraceptive would be inexpensive, reliable, and reversible. It would need to be long acting but have few side effects. New research published in BioMed Central's open access journal Reproductive Biology and Endocrinology used commercially available therapeutic ultrasound equipment to reduce sperm counts of male rats to levels which would result in infertility in humans. Ultrasound's potential as a male contraceptive was first reported nearly 40 years ago. However the equipment used is now outdated and no longer available. Researchers from the Department ...

2-arm blood pressure check indicator for risk from heart disease or death

2012-01-30

A systematic review and meta-analysis carried out by researchers at the University of Exeter Peninsula College of Medicine and Dentistry (PCMD) has found that differences in systolic blood pressure between arms could be a useful indicator of the likelihood of vascular risk and death. The findings add support to the calls for both-arm blood pressure checks to be performed as standard. The review is published in The Lancet online today (30th January) and the study is supported by the Royal College of General Practitioners, the South West GP Trust and the National Institute ...

Cancer sequencing initiative discovers mutations tied to aggressive childhood brain tumors

2012-01-30

Researchers studying a rare, lethal childhood tumor of the brainstem discovered that nearly 80 percent of the tumors have mutations in genes not previously tied to cancer. Early evidence suggests the alterations play a unique role in other aggressive pediatric brain tumors as well. The findings from the St. Jude Children's Research Hospital – Washington University Pediatric Cancer Genome Project (PCGP) offer important insight into a poorly understood tumor that kills more than 90 percent of patients within two years. The tumor, diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG), ...

Genetic regulation of metabolomic biomarkers – paths to cardiovascular diseases and type 2 diabetes

2012-01-30

In a study to the genetic variance of human metabolism, researchers have identified thirty one regions of the genome that were associated with levels of circulating metabolites, i.e., small molecules that take part in various chemical reactions of human body. Many of the studied metabolites are biomarkers for cardiovascular disease or related disorders, thus the loci uncovered may provide valuable insight into the biological processes leading to common diseases. Laboratory tests used in the clinic typically monitor one or few circulating metabolites. The researchers at ...

The good news about carbon storage in tropical vegetation

2012-01-30

A study published in Nature Climate Change today finds that tropical vegetation contains 21 percent more carbon than previous studies had suggested. Using a combination of remote sensing and field data, scientists from Woods Hole Research Center (WHRC), Boston University, and the University of Maryland were able to produce the first "wall-to-wall" map (with a spatial resolution of 500 m x 500 m) of carbon storage of forests, shrublands, and savannas in the tropics of Africa, Asia, and South America. Colors on the map represent the amount of carbon density stored in the ...
