- Would you see James Bond 21? How about Die Another Day?
11-07-2006 · EurekAlert!
A new study is the first to conceptualize sequels as the movie equivalent of brand extensions. According to traditional branding research, extension evaluations improve when the extension is perceived to be similar to the parent brand. However, researchers from UCLA and UPenn find that the effect of similarity reverses when it comes to movies. Compared to numbered movie sequels, the researchers found that named sequels performed better at the box office and had a longer shelf life.

- Penn study finds ICD devices offer heart patients life-saving benefits
04-05-2007 · EurekAlert!
Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania's School of Medicine have discovered that implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) -- electric monitoring devices that deliver a lifesaving shock in the event of a cardiac arrest -- help patients with heart problems live longer more active lives. Peter Groeneveld, M.D., M.S., Assistant Professor of General Internal Medicine and his co-authors report their findings in the April 2007 issue of the journal Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology.

- Key to longer life (in flies) lies in just 14 brain cells
09-20-2007 · EurekAlert!
Fruit flies live significantly longer when the activity of the protein p53 is reduced in just 14 insulin-producing cells in their brains, new Brown University research shows. The results put scientists one step closer to understanding caloric restriction, a biochemical process proven to slow aging. Results appear in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

- Exercise in elderly proven to improve quality of life
07-05-2007 · EurekAlert!
A new study appearing in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society compares the efficacy of three programs designed for reducing falls and improving quality-of-life among the elderly; education, home safety assessment and modification (HSAM) and exercise training. The study also examines the secondary effects of these programs on functional balance, daily activity, fear of falling and depression level, finding that exercise training yields the most significant improvements.

- Researchers at Illinois explore queen bee longevity
05-08-2007 · EurekAlert!
The queen honey bee is genetically identical to the workers in her hive, but she lives 10 times longer and -- unlike her sterile sisters -- remains reproductively viable throughout life. A study from the University of Illinois sheds new light on the molecular mechanisms that account for this divergence. The study appears in the online edition of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

- Longer term breast feeding protects mother from risk of developing rheumatoid arthritis
06-15-2007 · EurekAlert!
Breast feeding for a period of 13 months or more has been shown to reduce the mother's the risk of developing rheumatoid arthritis, according to new data presented today at EULAR 2007, the Annual European Congress of Rheumatology in Barcelona, Spain. In the study, the longer the breast feeding period, the lower the mother's risk of developing RA in later life. Comparable use of oral contraceptives or hormone replacement therapy did not show a significant effect on the risk of developing RA.

- Predator pressures maintain bees' social life
12-20-2007 · EurekAlert!
The complex organization of some insect societies is thought to have developed to such a level that these animals can no longer survive on their own. Research published in the online open access journal BMC Evolutionary Biology suggests that rather than organizational, genetic, or biological complexity defining a 'point of no return' for social living, pressures of predation create advantages to not living alone.

- Oxygen trick could see organic costs tumble
06-10-2007 · EurekAlert!
A simple, cheap treatment using just oxygen could allow growers to store organic produce for longer and go a long way towards reducing the price of organic fruit and vegetables. One of the major contributing factors affecting the price is the short shelf life of organic produce. Losses can be high during storage. Conventional produce can be treated with inexpensive chemicals to aid preservation.
