With all the pressures America's doctors are facing, are they losing their longstanding professionalism? Will the pressures overwhelm physicians' traditional professional roles of providing care, taking on responsibility and dedicating themselves to the public's health?
The use of "contingent" workers in the U.S. has increased labor productivity but not necessarily employer profits, according to a wide-ranging study by scholars at the University of Illinois and other institutions.
Consumer attitudes regarding food biotechnology are increasingly positive after a slight dip last fall, according to the latest International Food Information Council survey of U.S. consumers, conducted by Wirthlin Worldwide.
Dentists and dental students, hygienists and faculty members from the University of Maryland Dental School will participate in the Special Olympics, Special Smiles Program, in an effort to provide oral health exams and screening to nearly 300 athletes.
Successfully using behavioral techniques to keep drug addicts abstinent, Johns Hopkins researchers have formed a non-profit data processing company to employ the addicts and provide them with monetary incentives to stay off drugs.
3-D images of magnetic storms from the Sun, developed by physicists at the University of California, San Diego, and Nagoya University, are allowing space-weather forecasters to improve their predictions of solar disruptions on Earth as the Sun moves into the most active period of its 11-year cycle.
Researchers have shown for the first time in humans that rehabilitation therapy may help a stroke survivor's brain rewire itself, leading to regained use of a previously unused limb. The study is in this month's Stroke.
An aspirin given to stroke patients immediately upon arrival at the hospital may help to prevent recurrent strokes in the high-risk time frame immediately following the first stroke, according to the results of a combined analysis of two large studies.
University of Minnesota researchers have identified the molecule on human cells that binds to the bacterium responsible for human granulocytic ehrlichiosis, a tick-borne illness.
Borrelia burgdorferi, the bacterium that causes Lyme disease in humans, is the first pathogenic bacterium identified that does not need or use iron, according to research in Science from University of Georgia scientists.
There will soon be no leatherback turtles left in the Pacific Ocean, according to a Drexel University environmental science professor and his colleagues whose findings appear in the June Nature Magazine.
Scientists and engineers are gathering in Pasadena to discuss cutting-edge research in space transportation.
As a result of the approaching solar maximum, Earth's atmosphere is puffed up like a marshmallow.
Antimatter may be the ultimate fuel for space travel, but right now it is fleeting, difficult to work with and measured in atoms instead of kilograms or pounds.
LSU researchers from various fields of study have recently joined forces to study all aspects of hurricanes; this approach enables scientists, engineers, architects and others to work to improve hurricane predictions, evacuation procedures, construction techniques and hurricane-shelter selection.
Morning sickness experienced by two-thirds of pregnant women is nature's way of protecting mothers and fetuses from food-borne illness while shielding the fetus from chemicals that can deform its organs at the most critical time in its development, Cornell University researchers report (Quarterly Review of Biology, 6-00).
Instead of fighting for space, larger spiders in colonies rise early to claim the best spots, University of Cincinnati and Cornell University researchers have discovered (Animal Behaviour, 5-00).
The integrated circuit, the logic of electronic communications and key driver of today's Information Age, has been recognized as one of the greatest mechanical engineering achievements of the 20th century by ASME International.
A system that will allow physicians to use virtual reality to store information about what they feel during an exam is being developed by University at Buffalo researchers; the information then will be accessible to the examining physician at a later time or to consulting physicians at another location.
New data that will allow researchers to isolate essentially any gene in Arabidopsis, a mustard plant that serves as a model organism for scientists worldwide, have just been released by The Arabidopsis Information Resource.
