New study will help protect vulnerable birds from impacts of climate change
Scientists from PRBO Conservation Science and the Department of Fish and Game have completed an innovative study on the effects of climate change on bird species of greatest concern. This first-of-its-kind study prioritizes which species are most at risk and will help guide conservation measures in California. The study was ...

Sport Concussions: Teenagers More Vulnerable
Research results published in Brain Injury by Universite de Montreal neuropsychologist Dave Ellemberg reveal that adolescents are more sensitive to the effects of a sport-related concussion than adults or children. These kinds of injuries mostly affect their working memory - the brain function that enables us to process and store ...

Healthcare organizations using data recovery providers may be vulnerable to data breaches
DriveSavers Data Recovery, the worldwide leader in data recovery services, announced today the risks that healthcare organizations should be aware of with using third party data recovery service providers that are not compliant with HIPAA Data Security Guidelines or properly vetted for security protocols.
In Genetically Vulnerable Mice, Drinking Alcohol Shrinks Critical Brain Regions
Brain scans of two strains of mice imbibing significant quantities of alcohol reveal serious shrinkage in some brain regions - but only in mice lacking a particular type of receptor for dopamine, the brain's "reward" chemical. The study, conducted at the U.S. Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory and published ...

New subtype of ovarian cancer may be vulnerable to anti-angiogenic drugs
BOSTON--Scientists at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute have identified a subtype of ovarian cancer able to build its own blood vessels, suggesting that such tumors might be especially susceptible to "anti-angiogenic" drugs that block blood vessel formation. In a study published in the online journal PloS ONE , ...

New subtype of ovarian cancer may be vulnerable to anti-angiogenic drugs
(Dana-Farber Cancer Institute) Scientists at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute have identified a subtype of ovarian cancer able to build its own blood vessels, suggesting that such tumors might be especially susceptible to anti-angiogenic drugs that block blood vessel formation. The investigators estimate that the subtype may account for a third of ...
Single dose of antibiotic leaves mice highly vulnerable to intestinal infection
Yet another study adds to the growing evidence that antibiotics can disrupt the balance of the intestinal flora, with negative effects on health. A team of researchers from the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, New York City, has shown in mouse models that a single dose of the commonly used ...
