   The June issue of Elsevier's Community Oncology takes an in-depth look at the charge that ESAs, generally considered vital to cancer patients' quality of life, are overprescribed for profit. Scientists, oncologists and critics of oncologists are in a heated debate now over the use of ESAs, or erythropoiesis-stimulating agents -- drugs that fight anemia by boosting levels of oxygen-carrying red blood cells and the protein hemoglobin.

5. Global warming will reduce ocean productivity, marine life
   12-06-2006 · EurekAlert!
   A 10-year, satellite-based analysis has shown for the first time that primary biological productivity in the oceans -- the growth of phytoplankton that forms the basis for the rest of the marine food chain -- is tightly linked to climate change, and would be reduced by global warming. This would cause a rapid, overall reduction in marine life.

   11-12-2006 · EurekAlert!
   Working with dogs and using the latest in imaging software and machinery, also known as a 64-slice CT scanner, Johns Hopkins heart specialists have developed a fast and accurate means of tracking blood that has been slowed down by narrowing of the coronary arteries. Researchers say it took them less than half the time of exercise stress tests and echocardiograms currently used to find early warning of vessels more likely to become blocked and cause heart attack.
