Study confirms health benefits of whole grains
...heart disease, are due, in part, to a diet full of processed foods," Mellen said. "Subsequent studies have born that out especially with whole grains. Greater whole grain intake is associated with less obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol major factors that increase the risk for hear...Mediterranean diet halves risk of progressive lung disease
...iterranean diet); and those who ate a diet rich in processed foods, refined sugars, and cured and red meats (Western diet). Between 1986 and 1998, 111 cases of COPD were newly diagnosed. The Mediterranean diet was associated with a 50% lower risk of developing COPD than the Western diet, even after adjust...Huge waves that hit Reunion Island tracked from space
...rest located and tracked the swells using standard processed Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) ESA products. "Swells are still surprise factors, which can unfortunately be deadly," Chapron said. "The SAR Wave Mode product allows us to locate and systematically track swells globally. In the near future we antic...Transplanting human gut bugs into mice helps understanding of metabolic system
...so hormonal regulators which change the way fat is processed in the liver, so changes made by gut microbes to bile acid metabolism can affect this internal process. The scientists also explored how microbes break down fibre in the lower gut. Certain microbes allow dietary fibre to be digested and the more ...Developments in tissue engineering offer new sources for stem cell treatments
... paragonadal adipose tissue from rat specimens and processed the tissue to yield the stem cells, which were then suspended in a phosphate-buffered solution (PBS) and injected into the bladder and proximal urethra of 16 Sprague-Dawley rats. A control group of 16 animals received PBS injection alone. Results sho...New Mayo Clinic MRI technology enables noninvasive liver diagnoses

"Healthy liver tissue is very soft, while a liver with fibrosis is firmer, and a liver with cirrhosis is almost rock-hard," says Richard Ehman, M.D., lead researcher on the MRE project.

"The extreme swell systems originated from the same storm, which moved rapidly and had two main strong wind periods," Chapron said.

The figures also showed that the three most common skin cancers - basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma and malignant melanoma - accounted for 27 per cent of all male cancers and 26 per cent of all female cancers....Chemical in brain acts like a fuel gauge
... co-author of the study. How that information is processed by the brain is really a hot current topic. Knowing how neurons relay hypoglycemia warnings is critical to understanding the overall glucose sensing mechanism in the brain, added corresponding author Arshad Khan, a research assistant professor at U......ons. Every measurement in the balance device is processed in the implanted central microprocessor unit, using computer software developed by Della Santina and his team. Once processed, the information is used to tailor timing of brief, electronic pulses through the electrodes implanted near the three br...
