Cone snail venom controls pain
2012-04-05
Hidden in the mud, the cone snail Conus purpurascens lies in wait for its victims. It attracts its prey, fish, with its proboscis, which can move like a worm, protruding from the mud. Once a fish approaches out of curiosity, the snail will rapidly shoot a harpoon at it, which consists of an evolutionarily modified tooth. The paralyzed victim then becomes an easy meal. It takes the venomous cone snail about two weeks to digest a fish. During this time, its venomous harpoon is also replaced.
Prof. Dr. Diana Imhof from the Pharmaceutical Institute of the University of Bonn, ...

Is rainfall a greater threat to China's agriculture than warming?
2012-04-05
New research into the impact of climate change on Chinese cereal crops has found rainfall has a greater impact than rising temperature. The research, published in the Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture found that while maize is sensitive to warming increases in temperature from 1980 onwards correlated with both higher and lower yields of rice and wheat.
The study was carried by Dr. Tianyi Zhang, from the Institute of Atmospheric Physics, and Dr. Yao Huang, from the Institute of Botany, both at the Chinese Academy of Sciences. The paper is part of a special ...
Reducing hospital admissions for asthmatics
2012-04-05
Children with moderate or severe asthma attacks who are treated with systemic corticosteroids during the first 75 minutes of triage in the Emergency Department (ED) were 16% less likely to be admitted to hospital. This highlights the importance of adopting a strategy to rapidly identify and begin treating children with moderate or severe asthma attacks directly after triage, according to a team of investigators working at the Sainte-Justine University Hospital Center (UHC), the University of Montreal, McGill University and the Research Institute of the McGill University ...

2012-04-05
In a report in Energy Digital, SOCWA sets the standard for its methods of handling wastewater in a way that respects its customers as much as the environment.
Ever wonder what happens to the water that goes down the drain after you brush your teeth in the morning, take a shower, flush the toilet or run the washing machine or dishwasher? For most of us, the answer is no—what's out of sight is out of mind. But as water becomes an increasingly valuable resource, especially to Californians, it's about time we start taking a look at just how important the process of treating ...
Vanderbilt researchers help reveal complex role of genes in autism
2012-04-05
Nashville, TN -- Mutations in hundreds of genes involved in wiring the brain may contribute to the development of autism spectrum disorders (ASD).
That is one of the rather daunting conclusions of a paper published in the current issue of the journal Nature by a multi-institutional team that included researchers at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.
But while there is no simple explanation for ASD, the researchers identified a few genes as "genuine risk factors," raising hopes that they will be able to discover the underlying biological cause of these disorders. ...
