Sign Language Interpreters At High Ergonomic Risk
Rochester NY (SPX) Apr 23, 2008Sign language interpreting is one of the highest-risk professions for ergonomic injury, according to a new study conducted by Rochester Institute of Technology. The research indicates that interpreting causes more physical stress to the extremities than high-risk tasks conducted in industrial settings, including assembly line work. It also found a direct link between an increase in the men ... more Patients get heart valve without surgery 
Chicago, April 22, 2008 U.S. cardiologists say they've developed a transcatheter heart valve replacement procedure for congenital heart disease that eliminates open-chest surgery. The interventional cardiologists from the Rush University Medical Center in Chicago -- one of three sites participating in the study of minimally invasive pulmonic valve replacement -- said they successfully implanted the first three ... more Contaminated blood thinner from China is in 11 countries: report 
New York (AFP) April 22, 2008A contaminated blood thinner from China linked to 81 deaths in the United States is present in drug supplies in 11 countries, the New York Times said Tuesday, citing federal regulators. The US Food and Drug Administration Monday sent a warning letter to Changzhou SPL, the Chinese plant identified as the source of contaminated heparin sold by Baxter International in the United States, the ... more Analysis: Indonesian-U.S. bird flu sharing 
Washington, April 22, 2008 A row involving Indonesia, the United States and the World Health Organization over the sharing of bird flu virus samples is jeopardizing the global early warning system for a potential influenza pandemic and putting lives at risk, say experts and officials. The row centers on the issue of profits made by multinational pharmaceutical companies from vaccines developed using the samples. ... more 'Sims' creator lets people play god in new computer game 
Emeryville, CA (AFP) April 20, 2008Computer buff Will Wright created a multi-billion-dollar franchise with "The Sims" video games that let people play at real life affairs such as dating, working and raising children. Now from September, Wright will let people play god with his latest brainchild "Spore." "The big hook with 'Spore' is that practically the entire game is user created," said Shane Satterfield, editor-in-chief ... more |

Beijing (AFP) April 12, 2008China has rejected a study which found a probable case of human-to-human bird flu transmission in the country, state media reported. The study, published in British medical magazine The Lancet this week, said a 24-year-old man was likely to have infected his father with H5N1 before dying, raising the spectre of a feared flu pandemic. But health ministry spokesman Mao Qun'an said there ... more Scientists Find A Fingerprint Of Evolution Across The Human Genome 
Cold Spring Harbor NY (SPX) Apr 10, 2008The Human Genome Project revealed that only a small fraction of the 3 billion "letter" DNA code actually instructs cells to manufacture proteins, the workhorses of most life processes. This has raised the question of what the remaining part of the human genome does. How much of the rest performs other biological functions, and how much is merely residue of prior genetic events? Scientists ... more Plan Brokered By UCLA, USC Archaeologists Would Remove Roadblock To Mideast Peace 
San Diego CA (SPX) Apr 10, 2008Israelis and Palestinians may not be able to agree right now on their present or future, but, if a pair of Los Angeles archaeologists have their way, they soon will see eye to eye on their past. Working tirelessly for the past five years, Ran Boytner, a University of California, Los Angeles archaeologist and Lynn Swartz Dodd, an archaeologist at the University of Southern California, have ... more The Voyage To America 
Copenhagen, Denmark (SPX) Apr 09, 2008Professor Eske Willerslev was surprised by the results of the DNA tests conducted by himself and his colleagues on samples of what turned out to be fossilised human faeces found in deep caves in the Oregon desert. The oldest of the droppings have been carbon-dated to be approximately 14,340 years old. Willerslev's faeces samples clearly contain two main genetic types of Asian origin that are uni ... more |

Eugene OR (SPX) Apr 07, 2008Human DNA from dried excrement recovered from Oregon's Paisley Caves is the oldest found yet in the New World -- dating to 14,300 years ago, some 1,200 years before Clovis culture -- and provides apparent genetic ties to Siberia or Asia, according to an international team of 13 scientists. Among the researchers is Dennis L. Jenkins, a senior archaeologist with the University of Oregon's ... more Dyslexia in Chinese, English speakers is different: study 
Chicago (AFP) April 7, 2008Chinese- and English-speaking dyslexics have different neurological deficits, according to a study released Monday which suggests that dyslexia may be different brain disorders in the two cultures. English speakers with the reading disability typically have functional abnormalities in posterior parts of the brain associated with reading and possibly less gray matter in these areas also. ... more Big Tokyo quake would cause human gridlock: study 
Tokyo (AFP) April 3, 2008A big earthquake in Tokyo could create a giant human traffic jam as commuters clog the streets trying to walk home, a government study has revealed. A powerful earthquake during the daytime could force millions of people to walk home, packed into streets in conditions similar to a crowded commuter train if the tremor were to knock out public transportation, the study said. About two ... more Scientists Reshape Y Chromosome Haplogroup Tree Gaining New Insights Into Human Ancestry 
Cold Spring Harbor NY (SPX) Apr 04, 2008The Y chromosome retains a remarkable record of human ancestry, since it is passed directly from father to son. In an article published in Genome Research, scientists have utilized recently described genetic variations on the part of the Y chromosome that does not undergo recombination to significantly update and refine the Y chromosome haplogroup tree. The print version of this work will ... more
