Proposed FDA claim recognizes role of key nutrients in dairy in reducing osteoporosis risk

01-05-2007 · EurekAlert!

The Food and Drug Administration has proposed an amended health claim that would communicate to consumers the value of foods high in calcium and vitamin D for reducing the risk of osteoporosis. The National Dairy Council (NDC) acknowledges and supports the body of scientific evidence that backs the proposed claim, which indicates that a lifestyle that includes a well-balanced diet with adequate calcium and vitamin D, and physical activity, helps reduce the risk of osteoporosis.

10-02-2006 · ScienceDaily
Tamiflu (oseltamivir), is effective in reducing the risk of death associated with seasonal influenza in severely ill patients, according to new data. Treatment of infected adults was associated with a 71 percent reduction in mortality. These results demonstrate the importance of the role of antivirals in the management of seasonal influenza and highlights the seriousness and risk of mortality associated with it.

Living arrangements of low-income children may not play a key role in their well-being
11-15-2007 · EurekAlert!
Researchers looked at data on 2000 low-income families to compare the development of children living with only their mothers with children living with biological fathers, in blended families, and in multigenerational families. Findings indicated that children's performance on developmental assessments changed little after their mothers married. The research suggests that although living arrangements might be used to identify at-risk children, interventions targeting living arrangements may not be effective for improving well-being in low-income children.

Environment plays key role in children's readiness for school
11-15-2007 · EurekAlert!
Researchers conducting one of the first studies to consider both environmental and genetic influences on school readiness found that environment is the most important factor in individual differences in children's readiness for school. The study involved 420 pairs of 5-year old twins whose achievement was rated by teachers after two years. The findings provide further incentive for continued interventions that address school readiness in at-risk children.

Argonne's nuclear energy research moves toward greater reliance on computer simulation
11-26-2007 · EurekAlert!
The US Department of Energy's Argonne National Laboratory is taking its nuclear energy research into new territory -- virtual territory that is. With the recent arrival of the new IBM Blue Gene/P and the lab's development of advanced computer models, Argonne has a critical role in making it possible to burn repeatedly nuclear fuel that now sits as waste, thus closing the nuclear fuel cycle and reducing the risk of nuclear proliferation.
