1. Study first: Over-expression of Cox-2 can predict prostate cancer outcome
   11-08-2006 · EurekAlert!
   Researchers say an over-expression of COX-2 in men with prostate cancer is associated with an increase in PSA after radiation treatment and the spread of the cancer outside of the prostate. That is the result of the first study linking COX-2 with prostate cancer radiation treatment outcomes.

   A potential new biomarker for heart failure may be more powerful than established measures in identifying patients at increased risk for death from several causes. In their report, an international research team describes finding that blood levels of a protein called ST2 both indicate the presence of heart failure among patient with shortness of breath and powerfully predict the risk that a patient will die during the following year.

10. Color analysis rapidly predicts carbon content of soil
    03-12-2007 · EurekAlert!
    Soil color can be used as a simple, inexpensive method to predict measurements of soil organic content to assess soil quality and better understand global carbon cycles. According to Iowa State University researchers, soil color predicted the carbon content of soil nearly as effective as the more expensive and tedious method of deriving colors by a chroma meter.
