   A study of more than 2,200 women shows that African-Americans have more advanced breast cancer at the time of diagnosis than Caucasians. African-American women tend to have breast cancer tumor types that are more aggressive and have poorer prognoses. The findings are in line with other recent studies, and provide more evidence of the continuing need for early breast cancer screening for African-American women and the development of individual treatment strategies.

4. Ski area affects mountain watershed, UVM study shows
   05-17-2007 · EurekAlert!
   In the first-ever study to document the effects of ski resort development on water flows and quality in the northeastern US, University of Vermont researchers studied side-by-side watersheds on Mount Mansfield. Their results show greater-than-expected water volume from the developed watershed, suggesting that models derived from timber extraction studies may underestimate the hydrologic effects of resort development. This study provides baseline data that may contribute to new stormwater management approaches in mountainside development.

   11-01-2006 · EurekAlert!
   The physical changes that occur in the brain of patients with Alzheimer's disease, the most common cause of dementia in the elderly, have been well-characterized, but the cause(s) of this disease and the development of therapies has remained elusive. A new study now shows that decreased signaling through a receptor known as T-beta-RII -- expression of which is decreased in the neurons of patients with AD -- increases neurodegeneration in mice.

   10-11-2007 · EurekAlert!
   Men with prostate cancer are four times more likely to suffer a hip fracture and two times more likely to suffer any kind of fracture. The hip fracture risk rises to eight times in men aged 50-65. Prostate cancer is now a leading cause of male deaths in the US and Europe. The latest study, in BJU International, shows that the fracture risk appears shortly after diagnosis and is still pronounced in long-term survivors.
