2. Economists: Reduce fish catch now for bigger net profits later
   12-06-2007 · EurekAlert!
   In Science magazine this week economists report having demonstrated in four diverse fisheries that highest profits are made when fish stocks are allowed to rise beyond levels traditionally considered optimal. The reason is 'the stock effect': when fish are more plentiful and easier to catch, fishers spend less on fuel and other costs to fill their nets -- profits are higher. The findings could help upend conventional fisheries management thinking.

5. Benefit of exenatide has not yet been proven
   10-17-2007 · EurekAlert!
   Since May 2007, a new drug has been available for the treatment of patients with diabetes mellitus type 2 in Germany: exenatide (trade name: Byetta), which is marketed by the manufacturer Eli Lilly. According to current evidence, the blood-glucose lowering effect of exenatide has been demonstrated, but is not superior to the corresponding effect of insulin. Moreover, there is no evidence to show that the improved glycaemic control contributes to a reduction in the rate of late complications of diabetes.

10. Chemists make tiny molecular rings with big potential
    11-02-2006 · EurekAlert!
    Ohio State University chemists have devised a new way to create tiny molecular rings that could one day function as drug delivery devices or antibiotics. The rings are made from polymers -- large molecules that are made up of many smaller molecules -- and the chemical reaction that creates them is similar to others that create polymer chains. But this new reaction solely makes rings, ones tailored to perform specific functions.
