A new large, prospective population-based study confirms an inverse relationship between coffee consumption and liver cancer risk. The study also found that higher levels of gamma-glutamyltransferase in the blood were associated with an increased risk of developing the disease.
Sudden Hearing Loss Could Indicate Future Stroke

Patients hospitalized for sudden hearing loss were more likely to suffer a later stroke than some other patients. The findings haven't been duplicated in other research and should be interpreted cautiously. Researchers suggest patients with sudden sensorineural hearing loss be evaluated for stroke risk factors.

MRIs on healthy Framingham offspring found that about 10 percent had experienced a silent stroke. Silent stroke -- silent cerebral infarction -- is a risk factor for stroke and dementia.
Customized 'Wimpy' Polioviruses Designed: A New Path To Vaccines?

A team of molecular biologists and computer scientists at Stony Brook University has designed and synthesized a new class of weakened polioviruses. They used their synthesizing method with computer software to systematically re-code the poliovirus genome. In doing so, the team is the first to demonstrate that a synthetic weakened virus can immunize an animal. These results show promise in the creation of new attenuated ('live virus') anti-viral vaccines and are reported in the journal Science.

Researchers have overturned the current theory of how a pheromone works at the molecular level to trigger behavior in fruit flies. The finding, if it proves true in other species, might lead to new ways to manipulate the actions of harmful insects.
Starvation Hormone Makes For Small Mice, Study Finds

Chronically high levels of a recently discovered starvation hormone markedly stunt the growth of mice, reveals a new study. The liver-produced hormone known as FGF21 does so by causing the mice to become resistant to growth hormone.
