UCSB scientists find resilience in shelled plants exposed to ocean acidification
2013-04-15
(Santa Barbara, Calif.) –– Marine scientists have long understood the detrimental effect of fossil fuel emissions on marine ecosystems. But a group led by a UC Santa Barbara professor has found a point of resilience in a microscopic shelled plant with a massive environmental impact, which suggests the future of ocean life may not be so bleak.
As fossil fuel emissions increase, so does the amount of carbon dioxide oceans absorb and dissolve, lowering their pH levels. "As pH declines, there is this concern that marine species that have shells may start dissolving or may ...
All chins are not created equal
2013-04-15
EVANSTON, Ill. --- That jutting jawline may not be as universally attractive as scientists have assumed.
One of the theories behind universal facial attractiveness (UFA) is that some facial features are universally preferred because they are reliable signals of mate quality. But a new Northwestern University study tests one of the assumptions that the chin, commonly discussed in UFA literature, is consistent in shape across human populations.
Researchers found significant differences in chin shape across populations.
"This suggests that either sexual selection hasn't ...
Genetic discovery found to influence obesity in people of African ancestry
2013-04-15
LOUISVILLE, Ky. – The largest genetic search for "obesity genes" in people of African ancestry has led to the discovery of three new regions of the human genome that influence obesity in these populations and others.
University of Louisville School of Public Health and Information Sciences Department of Epidemiology and Population Health researcher Kira Taylor, PhD, and her team today (April 14, 2013), published their findings in Nature Genetics.
The study involved more than 70,000 men and women of African ancestry, making it one of the largest genome-wide association ...
Personalizing prostate specific antigen testing may improve specificity, reduce biopsies
2013-04-15
New York, NY, April 14, 2013 – Genetic variants have been identified which can increase serum prostate specific antigen (PSA) concentrations and prostate cancer risk. A new study published in The Journal of Urology® reports that correcting PSA levels for these genetic variants can have significant consequences, including avoiding unnecessary biopsies for some men and eliminating false complacency for others.
In this study of 964 healthy Caucasian men, correcting individual PSA levels for these genetic variants led to an 18.3 percent reduction in the number of men who ...
Stenting dramatically improves treatment access for dialysis patients

Nonsurgical treatment turns back the clock, shrinks enlarged prostate
2013-04-15
NEW ORLEANS (April 15, 2013)—Men with a common condition that causes frequent nighttime trips to the bathroom can get relief with a minimally invasive treatment that shrinks the prostate, suggests a study being presented at the Society of Interventional Radiology's 38th Annual Scientific Meeting in New Orleans. The early findings hail from the first prospective U.S. trial of prostatic artery embolization (PAE), which reduces blood flow to the prostate, thus shrinking it.
"Nearly all men eventually suffer from an enlarged prostate as they age, and this treatment is almost ...
