- Studies put proven medications to new uses
03-25-2007 · EurekAlert!
Common cardiovascular medications are finding uncommon uses, in some cases preventing heart disease even in low-risk patients and in other cases, protecting critically ill patients facing high-risk angioplasty and stenting procedures, according to research presented today at the American College of Cardiology's 56th annual Scientific Session in New Orleans, La. ACC.07 is the premier cardiovascular medical meeting, bringing together cardiologists and cardiovascular specialists to further breakthroughs in cardiovascular medicine.

- Changing the rings: a key finding for magnetics design
08-03-2007 · EurekAlert!
Researchers at the NIST Center for Nanoscale Science and Technology have done the first theoretical determination of the dominant damping mechanism that settles down excited magnetic states in some key metals. Their results point to more efficient methods to predict the dynamics of magnetic materials and to improve the design of key materials for magnetic devices.

- How to manipulate perceptual focus in advertisements
07-25-2007 · EurekAlert!
In a new study, researchers from Northwestern University demonstrate how advertisements can be manipulated to cause overemphasis of a particular feature, and increase the likelihood that a certain product is chosen. Their finding runs contrary to economic models, which assume that choices are based on stable preferences and should not be influenced by the inclusion of inferior options.

- Jefferson scientists identify protein key to breast cancer spread, potential new drug target
04-09-2007 · EurekAlert!
Researchers at the Kimmel Cancer Center at Jefferson have identified a protein that they say is key to helping a quarter of all breast cancers spread. The finding, reported online the week of April 9, 2007, in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, could be a potential target for new drugs aimed at stopping or slowing the growth and progression of breast cancer.

- Carnegie Mellon scientists find key HIV protein makes cell membranes bend more easily
07-25-2007 · EurekAlert!
Carnegie Mellon University scientists have made an important discovery that helps to explain why HIV enters immune cells with ease. They found that after HIV docks onto a host cell, it dramatically lowers the energy required for a cell membrane to bend, making it easier for the virus to infect immune cells. The finding will provide vital data to conduct future computer simulations of HIV dynamics to help further drug discovery and prevent deadly infections.

- Researchers at BMC find disability does not necessarily follow disease in living to old age
02-11-2008 · EurekAlert!
Researchers from Boston Medical Center's New England Centenarian Study report that for a substantial proportion of their centenarian subjects, avoiding age-related diseases (i.e., stroke, cardiovascular disease, diabetes) may not be the key to their longevity; rather, the avoidance of disability may be a key feature in their exceptional survival. These findings appear in the February 11 issue of Archives of Internal Medicine.
