Analysis of blood protein data from the Women’s Health Initiative cohorts has revealed new biomarkers for stroke and coronary heart disease (CHD). Research published in BioMed Central’s open access journal Genome Medicine found that beta-2 microglobulin (B2M) levels were significantly elevated in postmenopausal women with CHD, and insulin-like growth factor binding protein 4 (IGFBP4) was strongly associated with stroke.

(PhysOrg.com) — A team of BYU engineers built a super-sensitive antenna for processing signals from deep space. Then they flew to Puerto Rico and installed it at about the same spot where Pierce Brosnan and Sean Bean battled it out during the climax of the James Bond film GoldenEye.

Fluids experts writing in the journal Physics of Fluids, which is published by the American Institute of Physics, are projecting it will be many decades before we can accurately probe the properties of turbulence near walls. High-Reynolds-number flows (which are prone to turbulence) are critically important in aeronautics, naval applications, energy conversion processes, manufacturing, mixing and dilution of pollutants, and in many aspects of climate modeling, according to Professor Hassan Nagib at the Illinois Institute of Technology in Chicago.

Earth’s climate is strongly influenced by the presence of particles of different shapes and origins — in the form of dust, ice and pollutants — that find their way into the lowest portion of the atmosphere, the troposphere. There, water adsorbed on the surface of these particles can freeze at higher temperatures than pure water droplets, triggering rain and snow.

First Look Over in Singapore Nokia is getting busy announcing a whole host of new midrange handsets at its Connection event. So the Nokia bods thought it was only right that it gave ample airing to its flagship smartphone, the Nokia N8, over here in Britain.We’ve seen the hardware before , when we showed it off in glorious lime green. Pocket-lint was on hand once again to give it a going over to determine whether or not Nokia’s new star player has a chance of competing with Apple and Android in the heavily contested smartphone market.The main selling point of the N8 is that it is the first Nokia handset to feature the Symbian^3 operating system

The first street version of the extreme off-roader made famous by Top Gear rolled off the UK production line this month – and was shipped straight to Uganda.The virtually indestructible Wildcat 300STR had been ordered by a customer keen to make an impression at his local golf club.As well as the usual Wildcat features – V8 petrol engine, fully welded tubular chassis, heavy duty differentials and drive shafts – the first production 300STR added air conditioning, Bluetooth, iPod dock, stereo hi-fi and enough space in the rear for a set of clubs.That particular Wildcat may be winding its way to East Africa, but it is now the template for a fully fledged road-going version of the Dakar Rally veteran.

Well that’s the questions isn’t it? How about exchanging an iPhone 3GS for the bigger iPhone-ish iPad or how about cold hard cash or even an iPod Touch, or even if you are that desperate try offering the HTC EVO 4G , no doubt you may get a buyer then.However what you don’t do is slap an advert on Craighslist like some gormless idiot did as according to an article over on Mashable by Lauren Indvik by way of a report by ABC15 ; 20 year old Jacob Walker actually posted an article on craighslist wanting to trade Pot for an iPad.Yes folks this dimwit even posted an image of the iPod Touch and 7 gram stash of marijuana he was willing to exchange for a 32GB iPad

a cheap, widely available and easily administered drug which reduces the rate of blood-clot breakdown -could save the lives of thousands of accident victims worldwide. The CRASH-2 study, published Online First and in an upcoming Lancet, also concludes that TXA should now be included on the WHO list of essential medicines.

New research from NYU Langone Medical Center shows that a simple, inexpensive and noninvasive carotid artery ultrasound of the neck can be used as a preliminary diagnostic tool for coronary artery disease (CAD). This may be an alternative to the standard, expensive and more invasive coronary angiography. The ultrasound test can also be used to rule out the diagnosis of CAD in patients presenting with reduced heart pump function

(PhysOrg.com) — Some individuals may find a recent push by the federal government to reduce salt in processed foods hard to swallow. That’s not because those individuals simply enjoy the salty taste of certain foods. A new study by University of Connecticut professor Valerie Duffy and graduate students in her Duffy Lab shows that some individuals need a higher degree of salt in their foods in order to block the unpleasant tastes they get from some of the things they eat.

Community-based HIV testing programs generally use only HIV antibody testing, but nucleic acid testing (NAT) can detect the presence of HIV earlier. Researchers at the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine studied more than 3,000 patients who sought HIV testing in community-based clinics in or near San Diego to examine the yield of testing with a rapid test plus NAT and to see whether patients would be willing to access their results by phone or computer.

Oncogenes are like friends who’ve gone off the deep end. Normally steady, reliable members of the cellular workforce, these genes become very bad influences when mutated or expressed at high levels — urging a cell to divide uncontrollably and become cancerous.
