BOXES AND CARTONS Bag-in-the-box containers can keep wines fresh for four to six weeks after they're opened, thanks to the vacuum-sealed bag inside that collapses as the wine is consumed, making it difficult for oxygen to get in and spoil what's left. Although box wines often come in 3-L sizes, equivalent to four bottles of wine, more convenient 1.5-L boxes are becoming available...
...service diagnostic equipment has become so portable that house-call physicians have the capability of providing care comparable to an urgent-care center in the home," says Dr. George Taler, co-director of the Washington Hospital Center Medical House Call Program in Washington. "Even intravenous therapies, medications and oxygen are readily available at the time of the visit if the physician wishes to offer advanced care for those patients who would prefer to avoid the emergency room or, for that matter, the hospital.

Researchers attach little electrical leads all over your body-including your eyelids-to measure brain activity, eye and muscle movement, leg movement, airflow, chest and abdominal movement, heart rhythm and oxygen saturation. In the Wisconsin study, the subjects were also asked to complete the Zung depression survey, a 20-question test carefully designed to determine whether you are clinically depressed.

...evidence suggests that it may be the other way around: the sleep disruptions are what's causing the depression. Another theory is that during episodes of the severe disorder known as sleep apnea-when breathing briefly stops altogether-there are moments when the brain isn't getting enough oxygen, another possible risk factor for depression...
...head of a pin. The ongoing scientific discovery of the unfolding of our early universe is far more important for people to understand than how to divide the solar system into sheep and goats. Our connection to those early epochs is not just academic. Many of the oxygen atoms we inhale were forged in those very first stars. James Sweitzer, Ph.D. Science Communications Consultants Oak Park, Illinois, U.S. Your story explained that even though light was created at the Big Bang, there was darkness before stars formed. Likewise, the first chapter of Genesis states that God created light before...
