Humans lived in tiny, separate bands for 100,000 years
Washington (AFP) April 24, 2008Human beings for 100,000 years lived in tiny, separate groups, facing harsh conditions that brought them to the brink of extinction, before they reunited and populated the world, genetic researchers said Thursday in a study.

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.

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

Washington DC (SPX) Apr 18, 2008Is fairness simply a ruse, something we adopt only when we secretly see an advantage in it for ourselves? Many psychologists have in recent years moved away from this purely utilitarian view, dismissing it as too simplistic. Recent advances in both cognitive science and neuroscience now allow psychologists to approach this question in some different ways, and they are getting some intriguing ... more Unconscious Decisions In The Brain 
Leipzig, Germany (SPX) Apr 15, 2008Already several seconds before we consciously make a decision its outcome can be predicted from unconscious activity in the brain. This is shown in a study by scientists from the Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences in Leipzig, in collaboration with the Charite University Hospital and the Bernstein Center for Computational Neuroscience in Berlin. The researchers from ... more China rejects human-to-human bird flu report 
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 |

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.
