| Alcohol / Addiction / Illegal Drugs News | |
| Association Of Alcohol With Risk Of Breast Cancer: New Analysis From The Nurses' Health Study A well-done analysis by Chen WY et al, published in JAMA assesses the association of moderate alcohol consumption during adult life, drinking patterns, and breast cancer risk. The authors use prospectively collected data from the 105,986 women enrolled in the Nurses' Health Study followed up from 1980 until 2008 with an early adult alcohol assessment and 8 follow ups. | 06 Nov 2011 |
| Amphetamine Use During Adolescence Linked To Permanent Changes In Brain Function And Behavior Amphetamine use in adolescence can cause neurobiological imbalances and increase risk-taking behaviour, and these effects can persist into adulthood, even when subjects are drug free. These are the conclusions of a new study using animal models conducted by McGill University Health Centre (MUHC) researcher Dr. | 06 Nov 2011 |
| Anti-Depressants Reduce Pain In Opioid-Dependent Patients In what is believed to be the first study of its kind to demonstrate an association between the antidepressant escitalopram and improved general pain, researchers from Boston University School of Medicine (BUSM), have found that opioid-dependent patients treated with escitalopram experienced meaningful reductions in pain severity and pain interference during the first three months of therapy. | 06 Nov 2011 |
| Autism News | |
| TBL1X Gene Involved In Autism Spectrum Disorder Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) affects about 1 in 100 children resulting in a range of problems in language, communication and understanding other people's emotional cues, all of which can lead to difficulties in social situations. | 06 Nov 2011 |
| Biology / Biochemistry News | |
| Researchers Find Pulsating Response To Stress In Bacteria If the changing seasons are making it chilly inside your house, you might just turn the heater on.

| Cancer / Oncology News | |
| Mechanism Discovered In Brain Cancer Responsible For Neuron Death Researchers from Virginia Commonwealth University Massey Cancer Center and the VCU Institute of Molecular Medicine have discovered a mechanism by which glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), the most common form of brain cancer, promotes the loss of function or death of neurons, a process known as neurodegeneration. | 06 Nov 2011 |

| Cardiovascular / Cardiology News | |
| Monitoring The Health Of Drivers On The Road Safety in traffic depends on a number of factors. One decisive aspect is how fit the driver is. A research team at the Technische Universitaet Muenchen (TUM), in collaboration with researchers at the BMW Group, managed to develop a sensor system integrated into the steering wheel that can monitor the driver's state of health while driving. | 06 Nov 2011 |

| Study Suggests Caucasians Who Avoid Sun Exposure More Likely To Be Vitamin D Deficient Light-skinned people who avoid the sun are twice as likely to suffer from vitamin D deficiency as those who do not, according to a study of nearly 6,000 people by researchers at the Stanford University School of Medicine. | 06 Nov 2011 |
| Skin Starts Producing Pigment After UV Light Detected For most people, tanning seems a simple proposition. A naturally light-skinned person lies in the sun for hours and ends up as bronzed as a Jersey Shore star. To scientists, the reaction of skin to ultraviolet light is more mysterious. | 06 Nov 2011 |
| Plasma-Activated Water For Safer Medical Kits Researchers have used plasma - similar to the form created in neon signs, fluorescent tubes and TV displays - to create water that stays significantly antibacterial and can be used as a disinfectant for at least seven days after becoming plasma-active. | 06 Nov 2011 |

| Human Colonizations And Evolution Most human populations are the product of a series of range expansions having occurred since modern humans left Africa some 50,000 years ago to colonize the rest of the world, but how have these processes influenced today's population diversity? An international research team led by Damian Labuda at the University of Montreal, Helene Vezina from the University of Quebec at Chicoutimi (UQAC) and by Laurent Excoffier from the University of Bern and the SIB Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics have studied the effects of rapid territorial and demographic expansions on recent human evolution. | 06 Nov 2011 |
| In Mouse Model, Exercise Provides Clue To Deadly Ataxia When Dr. John Fryer and Dr. Huda Zoghbi prescribed mild exercise for mice with a neurodegenerative disorder called spinocerebellar ataxia 1 (SCA1), they did not know what to expect.Fryer, then a postdoctoral associate in the lab of Zoghbi, the Baylor College of Medicine researcher who co-discovered the gene for the disorder, was disappointed when the exercise did not affect the mice's gait or walking ability. | 06 Nov 2011 |

| Chromosome Centromeres Are Inherited Epigenetically Centromeres are specialised regions of the genome, which can be identified under the microscope as the primary constriction in X-shaped chromosomes. The cell skeleton, which distributes the chromosomes to the two daughter cells during cell division, attaches to the centromeres. | 06 Nov 2011 |

| Chicken Pox Parties Is "Middle Ages Vigilante Vaccination" If you think buying a lollipop contaminated with saliva from senders whose children are infected will protect your kids from chicken pox, think again - because it probably won't.
