The former boss of the Fukushima nuclear plant, who stayed at his post to try to tame reactors after Japan's earthquake and tsunami in 2011, has died of throat cancer. Masao Yoshida, 58, was at the Japanese power station on March 11, 2011, when towering waves swamped cooling systems and sparked meltdowns that released plumes of radiation. Yoshida led the subsequent effort to get the crippled complex under control, as workers battled frequent aftershocks to try to prevent the disaster worsening. Government contingency plans revealed after the event showed how scientists feared a chain reaction if Fukushima spiralled out of control, a scenario that could have seen other nuclear plants ...

Q: Why do I seem to get a cold every time I take a flight over 3 hours? Dr Dave: The air in airplane cabins is plain oxygen deficient, dry and stale, not unlike my Aunt Sophia or her brownies. Oxygen levels are usually twenty percent less than on the ground while the Humidex can be a whopping 80% lower. Loosening up by stiffening our drinks adds to the risk of becoming dehydrated and suddenly our nostrils become a perfect storm for catching those famous airplane viruses that flight attendants secretly spray about the cabin just before boarding. To mitigate your chances of getting ill: use saline sprays to keep your nostrils moist, keep well hydrated by drinking a glass of water for every ...

HOUSTON, July 6 (Xinhua) -- A flesh-eating bacteria has been detected in the Gulf of Mexico and is believed to have caused one death, U.S. media reported Saturday. The bacteria, known as Vibrio vulnificus, was found in gulf waters in several U.S. states, including Texas and Louisiana, local TV ABC13 reported. Officials said four swimmers have contracted the bacteria, and one of them died. The victims were supposedly swimming in seawater near the areas of New Orleans and Thibodaux, both in the U.S. state of Louisiana. Medical doctors said Vibrio vulnificus sickens people in two ways -- by eating raw shellfish and by entering through an open wound. "You get bacteria into certain ...
Pepsi still contains worrying levels of carcinogen: Group

NEW YORK: An environmental group said on Wednesday that the caramel coloring used in Pepsi still contains a worrisome level of a carcinogen, even after the drink maker said it would change its formula. In March, PepsiCo Inc. and Coca-Cola Co. both said they would adjust their formulas after California passed a law mandating drinks containing a certain level of carcinogens come with a cancer warning label. The changes were made for drinks sold in California when the law passed. The chemical is 4-methylimidazole, or 4-Mel, which can form during the cooking process and, as a result, may be found in trace amounts in many foods. Watchdog group The Center for Environmental Health found via ...

New restrictions on the use of certain pesticides to protect bees will not only impact crop chemical companies, like Basel-based heavyweight Syngenta, but also the way European farmers produce the food we eat. For about three weeks in May, extensive rape fields transform large rural areas in France, Germany and Britain into yellow. German farmers alone grow about five million tons of rapeseed used for edible oil, fuel and fodder on 1.5 million hectares of arable land. Rapeseed oil is not only the most popular nutritional oil in Germany; rape flower celebrations attract tourists to towns like Sternberg in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, the German state with the highest rapeseed production. ...

DNA markers in low-IQ autism suggest heredity July 3, 2013 | Media Contact: David Orenstein | 401-863-1862 Researchers who compared the DNA of patients with autism and intellectual disability to that of their unaffected siblings found that the affected siblings had significantly more “runs of homozygosity,” or blocks of DNA that are the same from both parents. The finding suggests a role for recessive inheritance in this autism subgroup and highlights homozygosity as a new approach to understanding genetic mechanisms in autism. PROVIDENCE, R.I. [Brown University] — Researchers are striving to understand the different genetic structures that underlie at least a subset of ...

Smokers are used to written warnings about smoking on the sides of their cigarette packs. But what about a pack that talks? A group of researchers from University of Stirling's Centre for Tobacco Control Research in Scotland are working on cigarette packs that attempt to dissuade would-be smokers from lighting up, The Scotsman reports. The group is currently testing the talking packs on young women. When the smoker opens the pack, a recorded message plays. One message states that smoking reduces fertility. Another message includes a phone number where smokers can get assistance in kicking the habit. Researchers told the Scotsman that the verbal warnings got positive reactions from ...
