Bird flu virus remains infectious up to 600 days in municipal landfills
Amid concerns about a pandemic of swine flu, researchers from Nebraska report for the first time that poultry carcasses infected with another threat -- the "bird flu" virus -- can remain infectious in municipal landfills for almost 2 years. Their report is scheduled for the June 15 issue of ACS' semi-monthly journal Environmental Science & Technology.

Introducing a new web-based tool to help identify people at high risk of fracture
FRAX® is a simple new web-based tool which can assist doctors to better identify people most likely to benefit from osteoporosis treatment, while avoiding unnecessary treatment in men and women at low risk of fracture.
The tool is now available for 12 countries, including China, and can be accessed free of charge at http://www.shef.ac.uk/FRAX/.

Flipping the biological switch of drug addiction
In the May 29 issue of Science, researchers have identified how a naturally occurring protein known as brain-derived neurotrophic factor, or BDNF, acts on a certain region of the brain to promote drug-seeking behavior, a finding that sheds some light on the biological mechanisms behind drug addiction.

Skin bacteria more diverse than thought
Our skin is home to a much wider variety of bacteria than previously thought, and local conditions -- e.g. moist, hairy underarm or dry, smooth forearm -- influence the types of bacteria that will grow there, researchers report in the May 29 issue of Science.

The hidden wealth of the Arctic circle
Following an assessment of natural resources north of the Arctic Circle, researchers say that a full 30 percent of the world's undiscovered gas and 13 percent of its undiscovered oil could be found there, in the May 29 issue of Science.

Use of acid-suppressive medications associated with increased risk of hospital-acquired pneumonia
Hospitalized patients who receive acid-suppressive medications such as a proton-pump inhibitor have a 30 percent increased odds of developing pneumonia while in the hospital, according to a study in the May 27 issue of JAMA.

Intervention helps reduce pain and depression
For patients who experience pain and depression, common co-existing conditions, an intervention that included individually tailored antidepressant therapy and a pain self-management program resulted in greater improvement in the symptoms of these conditions than patients who received usual care, according to a study in the May 27 issue of JAMA.

Caffeic acid inhibits colitis in a mouse model -- is a drug-metabolizing gene crucial?
Researchers at Iowa State University have found that increased expression of a form of cytochrome P-450 (CYP4B1) is a key marker of inhibition of colitis in mice by caffeic acid, an anti-inflammatory antioxidant compound widely distributed in foods. The results, which appear in the June 2009 issue of Experimental Biology and Medicine, implicate CYP4B1, a form of cytochrome P450 previously found to be associated with resolution of allergic inflammation in another model.

Ocean life in olden days: Researchers upend modern notions of 'natural' animal sizes, abundance
Before oil hunters in the early 1800s harpooned whales by the score, the ocean around New Zealand teemed with about 27,000 southern right whales -- roughly 30 times as many as today -- according to one of several astonishing reconstructions of ocean life in olden days to be presented at a Census of Marine Life conference May 26-28.
