...rapidly expanding, as researchers have discovered increased uses for the scan. Levine said “one of our big projects is using MRI to evaluate the fetus when there’s an abnormality that’s not easily assessed with ultrasound, especially abnormalities of the brain...
...South America. “I fell in love with it. I like being outdoors, and the technical aspects of the climb,” Osborne said. According to Rennell, the biggest risks of being at such high altitudes are cerebral and pulmonary adena, which cause pressure in the brain and lungs. If a climber shows symptoms he must descend in altitude immediately, which is difficult on the steep slopes of the “North Col,” Rennell said. Osborne said above 7,000 meters, the brain becomes “hypoxic,” or deprived...

They argue that this procedure is rare, it only accounts for 1% of abortions performed. Indeed, 2,200 partial-birth abortions are performed...
Healthy prion proteins spur the formation of brain cells, according to a new study published in the Proccedings of the National Academy of Sciences by Harvard-affiliated researchers. Prior to the study, which was conducted in the laboratory of MIT Professor Susan L. Lindquist at the Whitehead Institute in Cambridge, investigations had focused on the importance of the abnormal folding of certain prions, often associated with “mad cow” disease. This abnormal structure results in the inability of the proteins to be broken down by enzymes, and subsequently in the accumulation of the protein...
