CLA is a fatty acid found in beef, lamb and dairy products. Animal research has suggested that CLA can help melt away body fat, but studies in humans have yielded mixed conclusions.The new study, published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, combined data from 18 previous studies on CLA in order to analyze the body of evidence. It found that, when given at a dose of 3.2 grams per day, CLA appeared moderately effective at promoting body fat loss.
A model of blood flow in the mesenteric arterial system
crackpot submitted, created time 1 year 7 months (www.biomedical-engineering-online.com)
"Researchers methods: An anatomically and biophysically based model of the major mesenteric arteries has been developed to be used to simulate normal blood flows. The computational mesh used for the simulations has been generated using data from the Visible Human project. The 3D Navier-Stokes equations that govern flow within this mesh have been simplified to an efficient 1D scheme. This scheme, together with a constitutive pressure-radius relationship, has been solved numerically for pressure, vessel radius and velocity for the entire mesenteric arterial network."

Identity theft invades health care with alarming results

Imagine showing up at the hospital and being transfused with the wrong kind of blood. It hasn't happened yet (that we know of) but identity thieves are moving on to people's medical and insurance information. One woman was given a bill for the amputation of her own right foot. (Fortunately, she was able to prove that she still had both feet.)

Trans fats linked to greater heart disease risk

A study published today supports recent efforts to rid the American diet of trans fats. In the study, women with the highest levels of trans fat in their blood had triple the risk of heart disease as those with the lowest levels. This study provides further evidence of the potentially harmful effects of trans fats on heart health.
The unique genes to trace food-borne illness
Reviver submitted, created time 1 year 9 months (pressherald.mainetoday.com)
“Just as police use DNA to link a suspect with a crime scene, public health investigators are using the unique genes of individual bacteria strains to trace food-borne illness outbreaks to their source. That information is helping authorities to quickly identify the source of outbreaks like the recent Peter Pan contamination and how far they have spread.” Experts say the ability to move fast is essential to protecting the national public health given the scale of modern food production and distribution.
Folate biofortification of tomato fruit .
angelfish submitted, created time 1 year 10 months (www.pnas.org)
“Folate deficiency leads to neural tube defects and other human diseases, and is a global health problem. Because plants are major folate sources for humans, reseachers have sought to enhance plant folate levels (biofortification). Folates are synthesized from pteridine, p-aminobenzoate (PABA), and glutamate precursors. Previously, we increased pteridine production in tomato fruit up to 140-fold by overexpressing GTP cyclohydrolase I, the first enzyme of pteridine synthesis. This strategy increased folate levels 2-fold, but engineered fruit were PABA-depleted. ”More…..
Absence of neck can be bad for health

No, I'm not talking about the French Revolution or tragic eyelash curler accident. People who work out so much that their necks disappear into a glob of muscle may suffer serious circulatory consequences.
A haplotype protective against rapid disease progression in HIV-1+ patients

“Chemokines and their receptors are key factors in the onset and progression of AIDS. Among them, accumulating evidence strongly indicates the involvement of IL-8 and its receptors, CXCR1 and CXCR2, in AIDS-related conditions. Through extensive investigation of genetic variations of the human CXCR1–CXCR2 locus, It has been identified that a haplotype of the CXCR1 gene (CXCR1-Ha) carrying two nonsynonymous single nucleotide polymorphisms, CXCR1_300 (Met to Arg) in the N terminus extracellular domain and CXCR1_142 (Arg to Cys) in the C terminus intracellular domain
"Swiss cheese" molecule may provide better kidney dialysis
Darkfrog submitted, created time 1 year 10 months (www.sciam.com)
University of Rochester -- A porous layer of silicon half the width of a human hair can separate proteins that differ in size by a factor of two, a great improvement over the current factor of ten. This has consequences for kidney dialysis and for emergency air filters used by military personnel. What else might it help, I wonder?
Brain scan have you told the truth

The world’s first commercial lie-detection test using function magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), technicians at No Lie mapped blood flow within human’s brain while he answered a battery of questions about the deli fire and compared the results to control tests during which he was asked to lie.
