- Co-operation between GSF and clinic improves outlook for sarcoma patients
07-13-2007 · EurekAlert!
Hyperthermia, combined with chemotherapy, improves the chances of healing and survival of patients with low-lying, soft tissue sarcomas. At the Annual General Meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology in Chicago, the GSF scientist Professor Dr. Rolf D. Issels, presented the results of the first, randomized worldwide phase III study in which the effectiveness and superiority of the combined-therapy methods are proven, in comparison with results from chemotherapy alone.

- Cat fleas' journey into the vacuum is a 'one-way trip'
12-17-2007 · EurekAlert!
Homeowners dogged by household fleas need look no farther than the broom closet to solve their problem. Scientists have determined that vacuuming kills fleas in all stages of their lives, with an average of 96 percent success in adult fleas and 100 percent destruction of younger fleas. In fact, the results were so surprisingly definitive that the lead scientist, an Ohio State University insect specialist, repeated the experiments several times to be sure the findings were correct.

- Antarctic expedition provides new insights into the role of the Southern Ocean for global climate
02-05-2008 · EurekAlert!
In the Southern Ocean, large quantities of surface-drifting plankton algae are able to significantly reduce the carbon dioxide content of surface waters. This is a result from an Antarctic expedition led by the Alfred Wegener Institute, part of the Helmholtz Association. On Feb. 5, scientists will discuss pressing questions of Antarctic research aboard the icebreaker Polarstern in Cape Town. Federal research minister Dr. Annette Schavan will use the opportunity to meet scientists and South African ministerial colleagues.

- Arizona State University scientist finds Martian ice is patchy and variable
05-02-2007 · EurekAlert!
For the first time, scientists have found that water ice lies at variable depths over small-scale patches on the Red Planet. The discovery draws a much more detailed picture of underground ice on Mars than was previously available. The new results, by a researcher in Arizona State University's School of Earth and Space Exploration, will appear in Nature. The findings come from data sent back to Earth by THEMIS on NASA's Mars Odyssey orbiter.

- Scientists discover novel way to remove iron from ferritin
11-02-2007 · EurekAlert!
A new study led by Children's Hospital Oakland Research Institute senior scientist, Elizabeth Theil, PhD, is the first to suggest that a small protein or heptapeptide could be used to accelerate the removal of iron from ferritin. The results of this study may help scientists develop new medications that dramatically improve the removal of excess iron in patients diagnosed with blood diseases such as B-Thalassemia (Cooley's anemia) or sickle cell disease.

- Automated analyzer for complex nuclear waste provides rapid results
03-28-2007 · EurekAlert!
Identifying and quantifying specific alpha- and beta-emitting radionuclides in liquid solutions can be challenging and time consuming -- typically taking from days to weeks to get results back from an analytical laboratory. But, when an industrial process-scale plant requires that an accurate, reliable analysis be completed in near real-time from samples retrieved directly from the process line, the challenge could be overwhelming. However, scientists at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory have assembled a robust, fully automated prototype process monitor to meet demanding production needs.
