1 size may not fit all

In an editorial in the October issue of the journal Gastroenterology, Thomas F. Imperiale, M.D., professor of medicine at the Indiana University School of Medicine and a Regenstrief Institute, Inc. research scientist, says that studies that can help determine who is at risk for colorectal cancer as well as who is not at risk, and how to stratify risk for each group can help determine which screening test is best for each individual and will better serve both patients and the health care system.

1. Study: When it comes to physical activity, one size does not fit all
   02-13-2008 · EurekAlert!
   A landmark University of Alberta study, analyzing a sample of over 275,000 individuals, has found that when it comes to participation in physical activity, one size does not fit all. The study looked at a wide range of factors, including income, education and ethnicity, that influence whether a person decides to be physically active. It also examined the impact of government spending on parks and recreation on an individual's decision to participate in physical activity and sports.

3. Special chip provides better picture of salmon health
   10-16-2006 · EurekAlert!
   How do you tell if a fish is fit and well? This is a question which has troubled farmers and biologists for years, but now scientists may have come up with the answer -- using DNA chips. By studying the genes of Atlantic salmon scientists from three UK universities are developing a DNA chip to monitor the health and performance of salmon, a tool which could both save the salmon industry thousands and also help conserve dwindling wild salmon populations.

4. Threats to hope -- Desperation affects reasoning about product information
   07-12-2007 · EurekAlert!
   When our hopes are threatened, we often turn to the marketplace for help. Can’t fit into the gorgeous outfit you bought for your high school reunion? Trying to get pregnant? Want a bigger house but afraid you can’t afford it? A new study argues that in situations like these, consumers are susceptible to “motivated reasoning.” We believe what we want to believe about products that promise to help -- even if the arguments don’t come from credible sources.

   01-24-2007 · EurekAlert!
   A strikingly unusual animal was recently discovered in the cloud-forests of Peru. The large rodent is about the size of a squirrel.The nocturnal, climbing rodent is beautiful yet strange looking, with long dense fur, a broad blocky head and thickly furred tail. A blackish crest of fur on the crown, nape and shoulders add to its distinctive appearance. Two color illustrations of Isothrix barbarabrownae, the bushy rodent, are available to the media.

8. Despite their heft, many dinosaurs had surprisingly tiny genomes
   03-07-2007 · EurekAlert!
   They might be giants, but many dinosaurs apparently had genomes no larger than that of a modern hummingbird. So say scientists who've linked bone cell and genome size among living species and then used that new understanding to gauge the genome sizes of 31 species of extinct dinosaurs and birds, whose bone cells can be measured from the fossil record.

10. Percutaneous aortic valve replacement safe, successful in high-risk patients
    05-10-2007 · EurekAlert!
    Catheter techniques are expanding into new territory, successfully aiding in the replacement of narrowed, calcified aortic valves in patients too sick to withstand open-chest surgery. According to a study reported at the 30th Annual Scientific Sessions of the Society for Cardiovascular Angiography and Interventions, May 9-12, 2007, in Orlando, Fla., patients who were treated with the CoreValve Revalving System experienced improvements in both the size of the aortic valve and in the severity of heart failure.
