| Depression in young people increases risk of heart disease mortality Posted: 11 Nov 2011 12:22 PM PST The negative effects of depression in young people on the health of their hearts may be stronger than previously recognized. Depression or a history of suicide attempts in people younger than 40, especially young women, markedly increases their risk for dying from heart disease.  |
| Chemistry: New insight into 100-year-old Haber-Bbosch process of converting nitrogen to ammonia Posted: 11 Nov 2011 12:22 PM PST New research has resulted in a greater understanding of how the Haber-Bosch process converts nitrogen to ammonia.  |
| Elderly emergency patients less likely to receive pain medication than middle-aged patients Posted: 11 Nov 2011 12:22 PM PST A new study finds that people 75 years old or older are less likely to receive any pain medication in hospital emergency departments than people between 35 and 54 years old.  |
| Study helps eliminate causes for joint pain linked to commonly used breast cancer drugs Posted: 11 Nov 2011 06:55 AM PST Researchers exploring why some women who take a common breast cancer drug develop serious joint pain have eliminated two possible causes: Inflammatory arthritis and autoimmune disease. Because of these findings, researchers say women should be encouraged to continue taking the medication to gain its full benefit.  |
| New turkey feed helps bird producers gobble up profits Posted: 10 Nov 2011 04:21 PM PST As feed prices have risen in recent years, feeding turkeys has become more costly than many producers can bear. Satisfying turkeys' hunger accounts for 70 percent of the cost of producing turkey meat.Now, a researcher has produced a cheaper turkey feed, which could fill turkeys' tummies and producers' pockets.  |
| Prototype hand-held drug testing device launched Posted: 10 Nov 2011 09:58 AM PST The world's first prototype of a hand-held fingerprint drug testing device has been created by UK technology company Intelligent Fingerprinting.  |
| Adoptive parents put through wringer, Australian report finds Posted: 10 Nov 2011 06:49 AM PST The first ever comprehensive report on people's experiences of the adoption process in Victoria reveals that many found the current system to be inflexible and focused almost exclusively on administrative tasks and bureaucratic formalities. For many prospective applicants, the mismatch between their emotional experiences and the bureaucratic processes caused tension and anxiety the report found.  |
| Posted: 10 Nov 2011 06:48 AM PST A truck-mounted radar dish often used to chase Midwest tornadoes is getting a workout in Utah this month as meteorologists use it to get an unprecedented look inside snow and rain storms over the Salt Lake Valley and the surrounding Wasatch and Oquirrh mountains.  |
| Researching graphene nanoelectronics for a post-silicon world Posted: 10 Nov 2011 06:48 AM PST Copper's days are numbered, and a new study could hasten the downfall of the ubiquitous metal in smart phones, tablet computers, and nearly all electronics. This is good news for technophiles who are seeking smaller, faster devices. Researchers have discovered that they could enhance the ability of graphene to transmit electricity by stacking several thin graphene ribbons on top of one another.  |
