- Geisinger study: PTSD a medical warning sign for long-term health problems
02-13-2008 · EurekAlert!
New Geisinger research finds that post-traumatic stress disorder is an indicator of long-term health problems, similar to biological warning signs such as elevated white blood cell counts. With an in-depth study of Vietnam vets, pioneering PTSD researcher Joseph Boscarino shows that PTSD leaves a distinct biological mark on a person's overall health. Considered a psychological or mental health problem, PTSD should now be viewed as a threat to a person's physical health, Boscarino concludes.

- Rising Ocean Temperatures, Pollution Have Oysters In Hot Water
10-13-2006 · ScienceDaily
Oysters exposed to high water temperatures and a common heavy metal are unable to obtain sufficient oxygen and convert it to cellular energy, according to a new study presented at the American Physiological Society conference, "Comparative Physiology 2006." The study showed how cadmium reduces the oyster's tolerance of warmer water temperatures and makes it more vulnerable during the summer when water temperatures rise.

- Three first-ever atomic nuclei created at NSCL; new super-heavy aluminum isotopes may exist
10-24-2007 · EurekAlert!
Researchers at Michigan State University's National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory, have created three never-before-observed isotopes of magnesium and aluminum. The results not only stake out new territory on the nuclear landscape, but also suggest that variants of everyday elements might exist that are heavier than current scientific models predict. The findings appear in the Oct. 25 issue of the journal Nature.
