- Scientists find high-fat diet disrupts body clock
11-06-2007 · EurekAlert!
For the first time, a Northwestern University and Evanston Northwestern Healthcare study has shown that overeating alters the core mechanism of the body clock, throwing off the timing of internal signals, including appetite control, critical for good health. Animals on a high-fat diet gained weight and suddenly exhibited a disruption in their circadian clocks, eating extra calories during the time they should have been asleep or at rest.

- Postpartum depression is a major public health problem that requires more resources
12-05-2006 · EurekAlert!
Childbearing is a potent event in the lives of women, a particularly vulnerable time for developing or exacerbating psychiatric illness, say University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine researchers in an editorial published in the December 6 edition of the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA). The editorial, in response to a large Danish study of perinatal psychiatric episodes, calls for greater attention to the mental health of mothers and education, screening and treatment programs.

- New telomere discovery could help explain why cancer cells never stop dividing
10-04-2007 · EurekAlert!
A group working at the Swiss Institute for Experimental Cancer Research in collaboration with the University of Pavia has discovered that telomeres, the repeated DNA-protein complexes at the end of chromosomes that progressively shorten every time a cell divides, also contain RNA. This discovery, published online Oct. 4 in Science Express, calls into question our understanding of how telomeres function, and may provide a new avenue of attack for stopping telomere renewal in cancer cells.

- Batter out: Umpires likely to favor pitchers of the same race or ethnicity
08-13-2007 · EurekAlert!
Umpires for Major League Baseball are more likely to call strikes in favor of pitchers who share their race or ethnicity, according to new research from the University of Texas at Austin.But, this behavior diminishes when scrutiny of umpire calls increases -- for example at ballparks with electronic monitoring systems, when there are three balls or two strikes, or at well-attended games.

- Satellite images reveal link between urban growth and changing rainfall patterns
07-02-2007 · EurekAlert!
For the first time, scientists have used satellite images to demonstrate a link between rapid city growth and rainfall patterns, as well as to assess compliance with an international treaty to protect wetlands. The results have been published in two studies co-authored by Karen Seto, assistant professor of geological and environmental sciences and a fellow at the Woods Institute for the Environment at Stanford University.
