New Take on Pacific Warming May Improve Hurricane Prediction
Scientists have identified a new type of warming event in the tropical Pacific, which, compared to its better known counterpart, El Niño, has predictable effects on tropical cyclones in the North Atlantic. These findings may allow researchers to make more accurate predictions, earlier in the year, about how frequently tropical cyclones may blow over the United States Gulf coast and Central America, they report in the July 3 issue of Science.

Agent used in spinal surgery linked to higher complications rate, greater inpatient charges
A new study indicates that bone-morphogenetic protein (BMP; a biological agent used to promote bone creation) is used in 25 percent of spinal fusion procedures and is associated with a higher rate of complications than in fusions that did not use BMP, and greater hospital charges for all categories of spinal fusions, according to a report in the July 1 issue of JAMA.

Human term placenta a new abundant source of hematopoietic cells
Investigators at Children's Hospital Oakland Research Institute, Oakland, California found a way to obtain large numbers of hematopoietic stem cell from human term placenta. The results, which appear in the July 2009 issue of Experimental Biology and Medicine, describe detailed report on quantification, characterization, engraftment capacity, and most importantly, practical way to obtain hematopoietic stem cells from placenta in numbers that are several-fold higher than could be obtained from cord blood.

Beaked, bird-like dinosaur tells story of finger evolution
Scientists have discovered a unique beaked, plant-eating dinosaur in China. The finding, they say, demonstrates that theropod, or bird-footed, dinosaurs were more ecologically diverse in the Jurassic period than previously thought, and offers important evidence about how the three-fingered hand of birds evolved from the hand of dinosaurs.

Therapy helps improve outcomes for patients with severe sepsis
A preliminary study suggests that a therapy for severe sepsis or septic shock that included the use of an antibiotic-based “hemoperfusion” device to remove toxic products of bacteria from the blood in addition to conventional treatment resulted in a reduced risk of death and appeared to improve blood circulation and reduce organ dysfunction, according to a report appearing in the June 17 issue of JAMA.
