Preventing Concussions: Helmets, Mouthguards and Military Spending
(Inside Science) -- Benjamin Franklin once said that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure -- words of wisdom that ring as true in today's fields of public health as they did in the streets of colonial Philadelphia. The burden of accident and injury is cheaper to deal with through prevention -- whether in the modern hospital, the everyday workplace or the fields of competitive sports.… → Read More
How Do Doctors Define Concussion?
(Inside Science) -- What is a concussion? The precise definition still eludes us in many ways. A concussion is a type of traumatic brain injury, and a good clinical definition of a concussion is a trauma-induced alteration in the level of neurologic functioning. But what does that mean exactly? → Read More
Lung Cancer Recurrence, Predictable at Last?
(Inside Science) -- When lung cancer is caught in its earliest stages, before the tumors have spread to other organs, people face the prospect of radiation, chemo, surgery or some combination of the three, and for many, outcomes are good. Through treatment, lung cancer can be cured.But for far too many others, treatment fails. Sick cells socked away in the bulbous pockets of the lungs survive,… → Read More

The Touch And Feel Of Consumer Products
(Inside Science) -- I love learning about a new field of science. It’s like finding a new book by a great author or discovering that your favorite restaurant has a special tasting room upstairs -- like it’s been there all the time but you never looked up.The field of psychorheology is like that for me. Most of my life, I had never heard of it. But I’ve come to discover I reap its benefits in… → Read More

Heavy Metal Singers are Big Babies
(Inside Science) -- Music, for some, is most fully expressed in the form of jazz: distinctive, bent, syncopated improvisation; for others, it is country: patriotic steel twangy ballads; for some it is hip hop: lyrical, sampled, turntable beats; for others still, it is classical: refined, symphonic, orchestral homophony.And yet there is a whole other subclass of music lovers among us for whom its… → Read More
Speech to Laser to Sound
(Inside Science) -- Noise. Our world is full of it, from a feisty family dinner to the bustling sounds of the big city. There are a million stories in the city, and every car horn, bus engine, child's cry, dog bark or construction site jackhammer tells a story -- to anyone who can hear and is willing to listen. To people who are hard of hearing, the rich audio tapestry of urban life can be more… → Read More
The Science Of Art and Light
(Inside Science) -- Light is a lifeline for much of the living world. Lizards seek out cracks in the shade, flowers stretch toward windowpanes, and we ourselves awaken with the dawn. We know that light affects us physically: Too much can burn our skin, too little and we stumble. But we also know that, deeper still, light holds sway over our emotions and well-being.Let’s say → Read More

The Eye Of The Future
(Inside Science) -- Presbyopia is a condition that occurs with age. It’s related to the failure of the crystalline lens, the second lens in the eye, to accommodate, or reshape. This failure to reshape happens because the lens becomes stiffer with age. It no longer has the ability to see near and far, so it needs additional aid to look at things from a longer distance. → Read More
From China, To The US, And Back
(Inside Science) -- Attention was drawn to the topic of Chinese-American scientists after a paper that Zuoyo Wang, Ph.D., a professor at California State Polytechnic University, wrote on U.S.-China scientific exchange during the Nixon period, which traces these scientists back to the 1940s. At that time, there were about 5,000 Chinese students in the U.S. → Read More
