However, a new study presented at the American Orthopaedic Society for Sports Medicine's (AOSSM) Annual Meeting in Keystone, Colorado, (July 9-12) presents findings that even an older individual who receives a total shoulder joint replacement can return to full participation within approximately six months of surgery. http://www.physorg.com/news166425214.html Medicine & Health Fri, 10 Jul 2009 10:20:01 EST news166425214 According to a new study from researchers at Duke University, total knee arthroplasty (TKA) procedures performed in older patients with osteoarthritis of the knee result in long-term, significant improvement of physical functioning and motor skills when compared to patients who do not receive TKA. http://www.physorg.com/news165168783.html Medicine & Health Thu, 25 Jun 2009 21:20:03 EST news165168783 (PhysOrg.com) -- Today Oxford University scientists are joining in a special celebration of the first test of Albert Einstein`s theory of gravity on the remote African island where the ground-breaking experiment took place. http://www.physorg.com/news162820004.html Physics Fri, 29 May 2009 12:47:32 EST news162820004 Even low levels of lead found in the blood during early childhood can adversely affect how the child's cardiovascular system responds to stress and could possibly lead to hypertension later in life, according to a study from the State University of New York (SUNY) at Oswego. http://www.physorg.com/news159191316.html Medicine & Health Fri, 17 Apr 2009 12:49:31 EST news159191316 (PhysOrg.com) -- During the Maunder Minimum, a period of diminished solar activity between 1645 and 1715, sunspots were rare on the face of the sun, sometimes disappearing entirely for months to years. At the same time, Earth experienced a bitter cold period known as the "Little Ice Age." http://www.physorg.com/news157041575.html Space & Earth Mon, 23 Mar 2009 15:40:49 EST news157041575 Michigan State University researchers have identified the common desires of today's sophisticated consumer - a groundbreaking study that could help businesses become more competitive in the troubled global economy. http://www.physorg.com/news155473747.html Other Sciences Thu, 05 Mar 2009 11:09:39 EST news155473747 (PhysOrg.com) -- Castoreum, the dried scent glands of the Canadian beaver, was once one of the most valuable scent components derived from animals. Castoreum contains a complex mixture of substances, including a number of compounds known as nupharamine alkaloids. Many of these have been structurally characterized. Researchers working with Horst Kunz at the University of Mainz (Germany) have now, as they report in the journal Angewandte Chemie, determined the stereochemistry (precise spatial structure) of another castoreum component by using a total synthesis. A total synthesis is the complete chemical synthesis of a complex organic natural substance from simple, easily attainable starting materials. http://www.physorg.com/news154009419.html Chemistry Mon, 16 Feb 2009 12:24:13 EST news154009419 A daily supplementation combination that included folic acid and vitamin B6 and B12 had no significant effect on the overall risk of cancer, including breast cancer, among women at high risk of cardiovascular disease, according to a study in the November 5 issue of JAMA. http://www.physorg.com/news145036533.html Medicine & Health Tue, 04 Nov 2008 15:55:33 EST news145036533 Consider a natural alternative the next time you reach for that cupcake or soda as an afternoon snack.

This is the main conclusion of a study by Silke Steiger (Max Planck Institute for Ornithology) and her colleagues. The sense of smell in birds was, until quite recently, thought to be poorly developed. Recent behavioural studies have shown that some bird species use their sense of smell to navigate, forage or even to distinguish individuals. http://www.physorg.com/news135432690.html Biology Wed, 16 Jul 2008 13:11:30 EST news135432690
