What is more, the report claims that a healthy trucking industry suggests positive economic trends more broadly. This report has won the attention of companies like ...

In Florida, motorists must be aware of motorcyclists all year round, but it ...

Popular culture, including movies and television shows, commonly depicts juvenile crimes as isolated incidents that have little or no impact on the offender's adult life. In the world of scripted drama, juvenile records seem to magically disappear once the defendant turns 18, never to be seen or heard from again. In the real world, though, those childhood crimes can - and do - come back to haunt juvenile offenders. A recent report by the Palm Beach Post sheds light on the ramifications of having a juvenile criminal record by telling the story of several young adults ...

Not everything in grammar is cut and dried (for more debatable issues that have grammarians disagreeing, please see last month's post here). This month we look at words taken directly from Latin and whether or not they should be treated as singular or plural. Words such as 'data' and 'media' are seen used with both singular and plural verbs and there seems to be no consensus as to which is correct, particularly with data. Both are, of course, plural nouns though the singular form 'medium' is undoubtedly more widely known, and used, than 'datum'. So should it be 'The ...

Athens, Ga. – A study published in the July 5 edition of the journal Nature is challenging scientists' understanding of planet formation, suggesting that planets might form much faster than previously thought or, alternatively, that stars harboring planets could be far more numerous. The study—a collaboration between scientists at the University of Georgia; the University of California, San Diego; the University of California, Los Angeles; California State Polytechnic University and the Australian National University—began with a curious and unexpected finding: Within ...

The human airway is a pretty inhospitable place for microbes. There are numerous immune defense mechanisms poised to kill or remove inhaled bacteria before they can cause problems. But cystic fibrosis (CF) disrupts these defenses, leaving patients particularly susceptible to airway infection, which is the major cause of disease and death in CF. Using a unique animal model of CF, a team of scientists from the University of Iowa has discovered a surprising difference between healthy airways and airways affected by CF that leads to reduced bacterial killing in CF airways. ...

That research used a technique previously developed at Stanford to sequence a fetal genome using a blood sample from the mother, plus DNA samples from both the mother and father.

Eltrombopag, a drug that was designed to stimulate production of platelets from the bone marrow and thereby improve blood clotting, can raise blood cell levels in some people with severe aplastic anemia who have failed all standard therapies. About one-third of aplastic anemia cases do not respond to standard therapy, a combination of immune-suppressing drugs. Although bone marrow stem cell transplantation is an option for some, patients without a matched donor have few treatment options. The findings of this new clinical study, carried out by the National Heart, Lung, ...

Cardiovascular disease arising from atherosclerosis (thickening of the arteries) kills around 17 million people worldwide each year, including 120,000 people in England and Wales, while rheumatoid arthritis ...
