The University hosted a series of Flash Seminars last month about health care reform and the Affordable Care Act organized by Melissa Rickman, a third-year College and first-year Batten School student.
You've had a long weekend leaning over books and papers to study for a round of exams, followed by an even longer week hunched over a desk taking all those tests. Or maybe you've been swamped at work, staring at your computer for the past few weeks. Perhaps you're one of the few who has maintained your New Year's resolution, and your muscles are letting you know they don't appreciate your daily visits to the gym. Or you're completely overwhelmed at the thought of graduating and life after college. Sounds like you need a massage. Or do you? What is the big deal with massage therapy? Why do some people swear by it and others cringe at the thought?
Clinical trial results, published in The Journal of Neuroscienceby Eli Lilly & Co., suggest a promising new therapy for Alzheimer's disease.
Many people became more aware of the risks of radiation exposure following the earthquake and tsunami in Japan which damaged the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant. Similar concerns were raised about the North Anna Nuclear Power Station after a 5.8-magnitude earthquake struck Aug. 23 in Mineral, Va., a 45-minute drive from Charlottesville.
Amateur storm chaser Michael Theusner photographed the second recorded triple rainbow as well as the first quadruple rainbow outside of Bremerhaven, Germany in June. This month Applied Optics published he photograph and a description of the conditions necessary for spotting multiple rainbows. Raymond Lee, a meteorologist at the U.S. Naval Academy, searched 250 years of scientific literature and found only five examples of triple rainbows and no quadruple rainbows. The first triple rainbow was caught on film in May.
Researchers at the University of Cambridge have found a genetic cause for a rare form of severe hypoglycemia. Diabetics who inject too much insulin commonly experience hypoglycemia, or low blood sugar, but it is also caused by some medications or too much alcohol. While hypoglycemia is usually mild and can be treated quickly by eating or drinking a small amount of sugar, severe hypoglycemia can cause seizures, coma and even death.
What: Driving directions from a 3-D moving aerial perspective. Detail include hurdles a driver will experience during a drive and how scenic the trip will be.
What: A camera uses laser Doppler imaging to show blood flowing through the skin in real time. Red portions of the image indicate areas of high blood flow while blue means low blood flow.
Arctic sea ice reflects the sun's heat allowing Earth to stay cooler and making it critical in regulating Earth's climate.
Scientists at a Danish hospital have found that yellow marks on the eyelid are a predictor of heart attack. The study showed that patients with yellow marks on their eyelids were 48 percent more likely to have a heart attack, 39 percent more likely to develop heart disease and 14 percent more likely to die within a 10-year period. The yellow spots, called xanthelasma, are soft deposits of cholesterol, and a sign of heart disease. Arcus corneae, a white or gray ring around the cornea, is also caused by deposits of cholesterol but is not a predictor of heart attack.
Thousands of people already love chocolate for its taste, but researchers at the University of Cambridge have found that this indulgence may also have a health benefit. In a study published Aug. 29 in the British Medical Journal, authors concluded that higher levels of chocolate consumption are associated with a one-third decrease in cardiovascular disease. Chocolate lovers should be aware of the science behind the study before they rejoice, however.
About: A Commercial Space Station houses seven guests in four cabins 217 miles away from Earth. A five-day stay in the luxury hotel pod will cost about $165,000 per person; the trip there on the Russian Soyuz will cost about $410,000.
The planned James Webb Space Telescope is one of the National Aeronatics and Space Administration's top priorities, but it is currently in a precarious situation. The JWST, which is the successor to the Hubble Telescope and is currently funded by NASA's science division, will have a 21.3-foot diameter mirror and a large sunshield about the size of a tennis court. The infrared-optimized telescope is a major technological feat which will allow scientists to detect light from the first stars in the Universe.
The Standard Model of particle physics postulates the existence of the Higgs boson, a hypothetical mass elementary particle. The Higgs boson is the simplest explanation for how mass and energy gave way to matter, forming the stars and planets 13.7 billion years ago. Physicists around the world are monitoring the collisions in the Large Hadron Collider, or LHC,, an accelerator machine located under the French-Swiss border, in search of the size of the Higgs boson. Data presented at the Lepton-Photon Interactions Conference in Mumbai last week limit the Higgs boson to a very light particle. If the Higgs boson does not exist, it is unclear what will replace it as an explanation, but work on the project will lead to new physics. Scientists plan to continue collecting data until the end of 2012, at which time the LHC will be shut down for maintenance.
