-(Natural News) Researchers from the School of Oceanography at the University of Washington have discovered how some microorganisms that live in portions of the ocean where oxygen is almost absent manage to thrive. Called marine oxygen-deficient zones (ODZs), these regions are sandwiched between the oxygen-rich surface and the deep layers. In their study, which appeared […]

-(Natural News) Heart disease is the leading cause of death for both men and women, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Every year, more than half a million Americans die because of heart disease – the majority of whom are claimed by coronary heart disease (CHD), the most common type of heart disease and […]

-(Natural News) The Earth is a world of organizational interdependence. In the hierarchy of life forms, humans rank above animals, and animals rank above plants, and so on. But while evolution has elevated humans a few notches above other organisms, a study on the functional capabilities of plants reveal that they could be just as intelligent, with a […]

-(Natural News) Splitting water to create renewable hydrogen energy looks good on paper – until you realize that making it requires a lot of the “dirty energy” it’s trying to replace, like fossil fuel. In a study published in the American Chemical Society’s ACS Catalysis, researchers from the University of Delaware and Columbia University established a process that can produce greener hydrogen […]

-(Natural News) Struggling to find clinical benefits for statin drugs and blood pressure medications, a team of researchers put two drug protocols to the test to see their effects on human thinking and memory. The research, funded by the maker of the drugs (AstraZeneca), hoped to find cognitive benefits for candesartan and hydrocholorothiazide, rosuvastatin, or […]

-(Natural News) A new study published in the European Heart Journal revealed that older men who experience extended episodes of interrupted breathing while asleep were more likely to develop heart disease. In the study, it was suggested that poor blood oxygenation can indicate a heart-related death. In the study, researchers analyzed the patterns of low blood […]

-(Natural News) You’ve probably heard stories about casinos in Las Vegas pumping in oxygen just to keep people awake and gambling all night long – but one study, published in the Journal of Neurophysiology, debunks this urban myth. According to a team of neuroscientists from the University of Alberta, high levels of oxygen are actually conducive to slow-wave sleep (SWS). SWS is […]

-(Natural News) Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) limits the amount of oxygen that reaches important parts of the body. Patients with this condition are, thus, very prone to developing neurodegenerative diseases. But a Canadian-led research team advised that giving these patients extra doses of oxygen could help prevent the onset of dementia. For their experiment, researchers from the University of […]

-(Natural News) Oxygen is an important ingredient in the body’s natural healing process. To accurately determine if the blood has enough of this vital molecule, researchers have designed a handy oximeter to help in treating injuries. The new blood-oxygen sensor is a flexible device that can scan considerable swathes of skin, tissue, and even organs. By […]
