Winter flounder on the fast track to recovery

Winter flounder -- sold in markets as flounder or lemon sole -- in the Gulf of Maine went into serious decline in the 1980s, taking with it a major commercial and recreational fishery. New research indicates that winter flounder is a good candidate for stock enhancement, in which juvenile fish hatched from wild brood stock are raised in captivity and released into the wild.

1. Anti-fungal drug stops blood vessel growth
   04-27-2007 · EurekAlert!
   Researchers at Johns Hopkins have discovered to their surprise that a drug commonly used to treat toenail fungus can also block angiogenesis, the growth of new blood vessels commonly seen in cancers. The drug, itraconazole, is already FDA approved for human use, which may fast-track its availability as an anti-angiogenesis drug.

3. GI screening: Racing time or wasting time?
   05-22-2007 · EurekAlert!
   Preventative medicine and technology are some of the great benefits in this ever-changing age of health-care technology. Operations that once required major surgery and in-patient stays are being replaced with minimally invasive procedures with quick recovery times. Among these preventative technologies include CT scans, colonoscopies and X-rays. But with all of these available options in detecting abnormalities in patients, how does one choose which test to perform and whether it is worth the time to test on fast-acting ailments? Research presented today at Digestive Disease Week 2007 provides guidance as to which tests are best for which patients. DDW is the largest international gathering of physicians and researchers in the fields of gastroenterology, hepatology, endoscopy and gastrointestinal surgery.

4. Sea cucumbers fast track organ regrowth by healing their wounds
   10-17-2007 · EurekAlert!
   Sea cucumbers are the champions of organ regrowth because they direct their wound healing abilities towards restoring their organs, according to research published in the online open access journal, BMC Developmental Biology. The discovery that Holothuria glaberrima uses similar cellular mechanisms during wound healing and organ regeneration gives us the opportunity to discover how to repair our own wounds and, perhaps eventually, how to regenerate body parts.

6. Soft-cell approach cuts animal tests
   02-06-2007 · EurekAlert!
   A new way to test the safety of the air we breathe is proving faster, cheaper and more humane than exposing laboratory animals to airborne chemical hazards, say UNSW scientists. Researchers at the university's Chemical Safety and Applied Toxicology Laboratories have developed an animal-free alternative that exposes living human cells to air pollutants inside a small chamber. The breakthrough could fast-track scientific understanding of the threat to human health posed by thousands of airborne chemical compounds.
