Researchers report that the human body has an entirely unique and separate sensory system aside from the nerves that give most of us the ability to touch and feel. Surprisingly, this sensory network is located throughout our blood vessels and sweat glands, and is for most people, largely imperceptible. This discovery may shed light on the causes of unexplained chronic pain conditions such as fibromyalgia. http://www.physorg.com/news179482563.html Medicine & Health Tue, 08 Dec 2009 08:16:53 EST news179482563 (PhysOrg.com) -- British scientists are aiming to develop a device that can detect the smell of fear, and that could one day identify terrorists, drug smugglers, and other criminals. http://www.physorg.com/news176452932.html Technology Tue, 03 Nov 2009 06:42:59 EST news176452932 When soldiers leave base for a 3-day mission, how much water should they bring? Military planners and others have long wrestled with that question, but new research from the Journal of Applied Physiology may now provide them an accurate answer. http://www.physorg.com/news166253246.html Medicine & Health Wed, 08 Jul 2009 06:28:06 EST news166253246 Mites not only inhabit the dust bunnies under the bed, they also occupy the nests of tropical sweat bees where they keep fungi in check. Bees and their young are healthier when mites live-in, report researchers from the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute in Panama and the University of Texas at Austin. Mutually beneficial cleaning relationships have been documented for shrimps and fish that eat parasites on larger fish, but this is the first confirmation of a cleaning relationship between two different species on land. http://www.physorg.com/news159447859.html Biology Mon, 20 Apr 2009 12:04:47 EST news159447859 (PhysOrg.com) -- As a girl, Elaine Fuchs borrowed her mother`s old strainers and mixing bowls to collect polliwogs, an activity she credits for her present-day career as a biologist. http://www.physorg.com/news157133599.html Biology Tue, 24 Mar 2009 17:14:14 EST news157133599 The food you eat, the drugs you take, your state of mind, and your gender -- all these make your sweat unique. Tel Aviv University chemists may turn this fact into a new crime-fighting tool that would make Sherlock Holmes blink in amazement. http://www.physorg.com/news154191281.html Chemistry Wed, 18 Feb 2009 14:55:45 EST news154191281 A new Rice University study published in the Journal of Neuroscience found that socioemotional meanings, including sexual ones, are conveyed in human sweat. http://www.physorg.com/news150643103.html Medicine & Health Thu, 08 Jan 2009 13:18:23 EST news150643103 Some health assessments that are routinely carried out on Earth are not practical when the "patients" are free-floating astronauts on long space flights, such as missions to Mars or the Moon. A new, NASA-funded study from the University of Houston department of health and human performance will examine how well sweat patches the size of adhesive strips can detect levels of chemicals that may indicate bone loss. http://www.physorg.com/news142085719.html Space & Earth Wed, 01 Oct 2008 13:15:19 EST news142085719 (PhysOrg.com) -- The inventor of a revolutionary new forensic fingerprinting technique claims criminals who eat processed foods are more likely to be discovered by police through their fingerprint sweat corroding metal. http://www.physorg.com/news140762564.html Chemistry Tue, 16 Sep 2008 05:42:44 EST news140762564 An athlete's ability to sweat may do more than keep the body cool. It also may prevent the development of exercise-induced asthma (EIA), a common respiratory condition among trained athletes. New research appearing in the September issue of CHEST, the peer-reviewed journal of the American College of Chest Physicians (ACCP), shows that athletes with EIA produce less sweat, tears, and saliva than those who do not have breathing problems. http://www.physorg.com/news140061536.html Medicine & Health Mon, 08 Sep 2008 02:58:56 EST news140061536
