- Scientists develop new measure of 'socioclimactic' risk
12-10-2007 · EurekAlert!
Researchers have taken a first step toward quantifying the "socioclimactic" exposure of different countries to future climate change. The research team found that China, India and the United States face substantial exposure relative to other nations. By integrating state-of-the-art global climate model experiments with socioeconomic indicators of poverty, wealth and population, we create a unique measure of 'socioclimactic' risk for each nation.

- Tumors stopped from spreading to new sites
04-05-2007 · EurekAlert!
For several types of cancer, persistently high levels of the soluble factor TGF-beta in the blood after surgery, chemotherapy, or radiation therapy correlate with increased risk of early metastasis and a poor prognosis. Using a mouse model of breast cancer, researchers from Vanderbilt University have now generated evidence to suggest that treatment with TGF-beta inhibitors might help such patients.

- Map predicting spread of avian flu
04-18-2007 · EurekAlert!
Boender and colleagues examine data from the 2003 outbreak of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza in the Netherlands and produce a model which can predict the probability of infection from one farm to another: the "transmission kernel." They also identify high-risk areas in the Netherlands and analyze various control strategies, concluding that in these regions an epidemic can only be brought to an end by massive culling of susceptible farms.

- Study points to new way to predict death risk from torn aorta
07-25-2007 · EurekAlert!
Each year, thousands of Americans suffer a sudden tear in the body's largest blood vessel, the aorta. It's often misdiagnosed, can kill if not treated immediately, and survivors face a high and unpredictable risk of dying. Now, a new study points to a new way to predict which patients are most at risk, and introduces a new model to explain why.

10-18-2007 · EurekAlert!
A research team from the Northern California Cancer Center, the University of Southern California, and Wake Forest University School of Medicine has found that increased exposure to sunlight -- which increases levels of vitamin D in the body -- may decrease the risk of advanced breast cancer.
