MADISON – Electrical engineers at The University of Texas at Arlington and at the University of Wisconsin-Madison have devised a new laser for on-chip optical connections that could give computers a huge boost in speed and energy efficiency. The team published its findings on July 22, 2012 in Nature Photonics. At just 2 micrometers in height – smaller than the width of a human hair – the surface-emitting laser's vastly lower profile could make it cheaper and easier for manufacturers to integrate high-speed optical data connections into the microprocessors powering the ...

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. – July 23, 2012 – Ever wonder how the human brain, which is constantly bombarded with millions of pieces of visual information, can filter out what's unimportant and focus on what's most useful? The process is known as selective attention and scientists have long debated how it works. But now, researchers at Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center have discovered an important clue. Evidence from an animal study, published in the July 22 online edition of the journal Nature Neuroscience, shows that the prefrontal cortex is involved in a previously unknown ...

Many animals spend time together in large groups not because they enjoy each other's company, but rather because it lowers their own chances of being eaten should an uninvited guest arrive on the scene—or so the theory goes. Now, researchers who have ...

Click here for more information. If you are a fly living with bats in a cowshed, sex really could be the death of you. That's according to a study in the July 24th issue of Current Biology, a Cell Press publication, showing that bats eavesdrop on the sounds of fly sex ...

Alcoholism: Clinical & Experimental Research Functional neurologic abnormalities due to prenatal alcohol exposure are common A new study has examined heavy alcohol exposure during pregnancy using population-based data in Chile. Approximately 80 percent of the children examined had one or more abnormalities associated with alcohol exposure. Functional neurologic impairment was the most frequent and sometimes only sign of alcohol exposure. Most children who are exposed to large amounts of alcohol while in the womb do not go on to develop fetal alcohol syndrome ...

Alcoholism: Clinical & Experimental Research Disinhibition/drinking differences between African-American and European-American youth African American adolescents drink less than European American adolescents. A new study examines racial differences in disinhibition. Results indicate that European American youth have higher levels of sensation seeking while African American youth have higher levels of impulsivity. Compared to European American adolescents, African American adolescents are more likely to abstain from alcohol, drink less frequently, and engage in ...

Alcoholism: Clinical & Experimental Research Alcoholism and HIV infection have different effects on visuomotor procedural memory processes Visuomotor procedural memory processes include driving a car, riding a bike, and using a computer mouse. This study examined the separate and combined injurious effects of chronic alcoholism and HIV infection upon visuomotor procedural memory processes. Results indicate the two conditions differently affect the processes involved in procedural learning and memory of visuomotor information. The different effects on memory processes ...

Liver cancer is the third leading cancer killer worldwide and new treatments are urgently needed. This study shows that loss of a regulatory molecule called microRNA-122 leads to liver cancer. The findings suggest that developing a drug that restores microRNA-122 levels might offer a new way to treat this deadly disease. COLUMBUS, Ohio – A new study shows that loss of a small RNA molecule in liver cells might cause liver cancer and that restoring the molecule might slow tumor growth and offer a new way to treat the disease. The animal study was led by researchers ...

A clinical study in a remote region of southwest Uganda has demonstrated the feasibility of using a health campaign to rapidly test a community for HIV and simultaneously offer prevention and diagnosis for a variety of other diseases in rural and resource-poor settings of sub-Saharan Africa. At the XIX International AIDS Conference in Washington, D.C., the first results of this study, called the "Sustainable East Africa Research in Community Health (SEARCH) Collaboration," will be described by doctors at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), San Francisco ...

In January, 2012, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued new guidelines on dosing of an HIV medication used to treat people infected with both HIV and tuberculosis (TB) because of a potential interaction between two of the main drugs used to treat each disease. The drug rifampin, used for treating TB, can lower levels of the HIV medicine efavirenz, so the FDA recommended that patients who weigh more than 50 kg (110 pounds) and who are taking both medications should get 30 percent larger doses of efavirenz (an increase from 600 mg to 800 mg). Now, a new ...

MINNEAPOLIS – Watching videos on YouTube may be a new way to show the treatment for a common cause of vertigo, which often goes untreated by physicians, according to a study published in the July 24, 2012, print issue of Neurology®, the medical journal of the American Academy of Neurology. Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is an inner ear disorder that is a common cause of dizziness. "This type of vertigo can be treated easily and quickly with a simple maneuver called the Epley maneuver, but too often the maneuver isn't used, and people are told to 'wait ...

EDITOR'S PICK MiR-122 micromanages liver function MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are endogenously encoded RNAs that regulate the stability or translation of mRNA molecules, and emerging research suggests that they have diverse roles in normal physiology and disease. In this issue, two groups investigated the role of the predominant liver miRNA, miR-122. Ann-Ping Tsou and colleagues from National Yang-Ming University in Taiwan, and a team led by Kalpana Ghoshal, from Ohio State University generated mouse models of MiR-122 loss of function, and determined that the molecule was critically ...

An analysis of newly sequenced polar bear genomes is providing important clues about the species' evolution, suggesting that climate change and genetic exchange with brown bears helped create the polar bear as we know it today. The international study, led by the Penn State University and the University at Buffalo, found evidence that the size of the polar bear population fluctuated with key climatic events over the past million years, growing during periods of cooling and shrinking in warmer times. The research also suggests that while polar bears evolved into a distinct ...

With widespread hunger continuing to haunt developing nations, and obesity fast becoming a global epidemic, any number of efforts on the parts of governments, scientists, non-profit organizations and the business world have taken aim at these twin nutrition-related crises. But all of these efforts have failed to make a large dent in the problems, and now an unusual international collaboration of researchers is explaining why. Publishing in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, the researchers argue that while hunger and obesity are caused by a perfect storm ...

The first study of a procedure to make three-dimensional "maps" of electrical signals in children's hearts could help cardiologists correct rapid heart rhythms in young patients, according to new research presented at the American Heart Association's Basic Cardiovascular Sciences 2012 Scientific Sessions. Children with the condition atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia, or AVNRT, suffer from disruptions in the heart's electrical system that cause sudden rapid heart rates. Patients have been successfully treated with cardiac ablation , in which the abnormal tissue ...

Damaged and aged heart tissue of older heart failure patients was rejuvenated by stem cells modified by scientists, according to research presented at the American Heart Association's Basic Cardiovascular Sciences 2012 Scientific Sessions. The study is simultaneously published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology. The research could one day lead to new treatments for heart failure patients, researchers said. "Since patients with heart failure are normally elderly, their cardiac stem cells aren't very healthy," said Sadia Mohsin, Ph.D., one of the ...
