Louis J. Sheehan, Esquire. People who kick and lash out while fast asleep in bed face a
high risk of developing Parkinson’s disease and certain forms of dementia,
scientists report online December 24 in Neurology.

The condition, called rapid-eye-movement sleep behavior
disorder, results when a person’s muscles fail to relax during sleep. “During
REM sleep, with the most vivid dreaming, mostly we’re paralyzed,” says

For a group of scientists who profess to love the symmetries in
nature, cosmologists and astronomers spend an awful lot of time looking
for and analyzing imbalances in the cosmic architecture.

A new study, reported in the Dec. 16 Physical Review Letters, seeks
to explain why half of the sky appears to have larger deviations from
the average temperature of the radiation in the cosmic microwave
background, the remnant heat left over from the Big Bang, than the |

27-year-old from the Indian state of Bihar, remembers clearly when he
first felt the thirst for entrepreneurship. Sitting in the back of a
cycle-rickshaw on a parched summer’s day in his hometown of Begusarai,
he asked his rickshaw-puller for a drink of water. He points out that
India’s rickshaw-pullers earn only a pittance after paying the rent on
their vehicles. http://louissheehan.bravejournal.com

Women with rapidly lethal ovarian cancer are more likely to harbor
tumors lacking a normal complement of two enzymes that facilitate the
silencing of genes, a new study shows. Meanwhile, patients who survive
significantly longer tend to have ample supplies of both compounds,
scientists report in the Dec. 18 New England Journal of Medicine.
Data on patients with other cancers also linked better survival to
adequate levels of one of these enzymes, the researchers find

Louis J. Sheehan, Esquire. When the North Atlantic’s stocks of cod, tuna, halibut, and other big ocean predators threatened to collapse in the 1990s
after decades of overfishing, consumers and conservationists alike
turned their hopes to farming: raising pellet-fattened fish in net pens
in bays and channels. But a sweeping analysis published last February shows that farming has only made matters worse for wild salmon.
Salmon farms were already known to weaken wild populations by

Louis J. Sheehan, Esquire . With the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 came not only the
chance of opening up a closed society but the hope of a kind of
scholarly glasnost -- opening up closed archives and bringing long-buried secrets into the light of day.
In 1992, Jonathan Brent, an editor at Yale
University Press, first flew to Moscow to investigate the possibility
of publishing documents from the vast collections of the defunct Soviet
state. |
Louis J. Sheehan, Esquire. U.S. agriculture has developed a heavy reliance on chemicals to
safeguard crops from yield-robbing weeds. However, many of those
herbicides can pose substantial health risks to people, pets, and
wildlife, which is why laws prescribe how some of these chemicals are
handled in fields. A study now finds that trace quantities of such
agricultural chemicals nonetheless find their way into consumers'
homes—not on the fruits and vegetables they buy but |
