   10-02-2006 · ScienceDaily
   Children who get severe malaria in Africa are at a high risk of dying in hospital even though there are effective treatments. Some evidence suggests that lowered blood fluid volume is a factor in determining the outcome in these children. However, very few trials have been done that examine the best way of rehydrating children that are in shock from severe malaria, or what type of fluid should be used.

   07-01-2007 · EurekAlert!
   Researchers in the United Kingdom have found that increased exposure to cat allergen is associated with greater bronchial responsiveness (BR) in people with certain common allergies, even if they are not specifically allergic to cats. This suggests that reduced exposure to cats may be beneficial for allergic individuals, regardless of their specific allergies.

5. Transgenic maize is more susceptible to aphids
   08-29-2007 · EurekAlert!
   Aphids perform better on Bt maize than on the corresponding conventional varieties. However, according to a research team of the National Centre of Competence in Research Plant Survival that are behind these results, the consequences are not necessarily negative for agriculture since aphids produce honeydew that can serve as a food source for beneficial insects. The study was published in July in the online, open-access journal PLoS ONE.

10. Smac-ing lung cancer to death
    11-12-2007 · EurekAlert!
    Researchers have developed a small molecule that can turn the survival signal for a variety of cancer cells into a death signal. The molecule mimics the activity of Smac, a protein that triggers the suicide of some types of cancer cells. The findings suggest that Smac-mimetic compounds could be useful as targeted cancer treatments for lung and other cancers.
