New research shows that environmental gains derived from the use of nanomaterials may be offset in part by the processes used to manufacture them. Research published in a special issue of the Journal of Industrial Ecology, a peer-reviewed journal owned by Yale University and headquartered at the Yale School of Forestry and Environmental Studies, highlights the need for improved efficiency in the manufacturing of nanoscale materials to reduce energy use, emissions, solid waste, and the use of toxic input materials. http://www.physorg.com/news144419358.html Nanotechnology Tue, 28 Oct 2008 13:29:18 EST news144419358 The past 25 years have seen an explosion of scientific investigations into the basic neurobiology of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Unfortunately, the gap between bench and bedside remains as vast as ever. Recent progress, however, has resulted in the development of novel, and in some cases, unconventional approaches for effective treatment. New therapies are currently undergoing preclinical investigation or are in clinical trial phase. A special issue of the Journal of Alzheimer's Disease (October 2008), guided by guest editor Muhammad Omar Chohan, MD, explores these exciting developments. http://www.physorg.com/news143978629.html Medicine & Health Thu, 23 Oct 2008 11:03:49 EST news143978629 (PhysOrg.com) -- Environmental gains derived from the use of nanomaterials may be offset in part by the process used to manufacture them, according to research published in a special issue of the Journal of Industrial Ecology. http://www.physorg.com/news143907040.html Nanotechnology Wed, 22 Oct 2008 15:10:40 EST news143907040 As America's aging population increases, so does its need for long-term care. And the workers who provide these services often lack the support they need - particularly in the area of pay and work relationships, according to "Better Jobs Better Care: New Research on the Long-Term Care Workforce," the latest special issue of The Gerontologist (Volume 48, Special Issue 1). http://www.physorg.com/news137769235.html Other Sciences Tue, 12 Aug 2008 14:13:55 EST news137769235 The first research to look at recent trends in European cancer incidence, mortality and survival together has shown that cancer prevention and management in Europe is moving in the right direction. However, the research reveals that variations between countries in policies for mass screening, access to health care and treatment are reflected in the different cancer rates. http://www.physorg.com/news134194906.html Medicine & Health Wed, 02 Jul 2008 05:21:46 EST news134194906
