The lesions usually occur on the face, neck, back, shoulders and chest. Nearly 17 million Americans suffer from acne, making it the most common skin disease in the nation. Although it is not a serious health threat, severe acne can lead to disfigurement, permanent scarring, and has a significant psychological impact on a person's self-esteem and outlook on life, including fr ...

RFID: A Smart Tag Primer
Good things come in small packages. This familiar cliché usually refers to precious stones, but today it's taken on new meaning, in that small things are now protecting items we deem valuable.
Analysts estimate that the retail industry loses US $50B a year to theft and up to ten times that much to counterfeiting.

Patient's genes predict response to chemo for breast cancer. Breast cancer patients could find out whether they will respond positively to chemotherapy treatment by testing for the activity of certain genes. Researchers analysed the genes expressed in the tumours of eighty-three patients with primary breast cancer. The researchers were able to predict which breast tumours would improve from chemotherapy in all cases of partial remission and nearly three quarters of the cases of complete remission based on the analysis of less than sixty genes present in the tumours.

Men with BRCA2 gene mutation have higher cancer risk
NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - The results of a new study suggest that men, as well as women, who carry the BRCA2 gene mutation have an elevated cancer risk. While this mutation is known to increase the risk of breast and ovarian cancer in women, male carriers appear to have a higher risk of cancer of the prostate and pancreas, and possibly the bone and pharynx, according to a report in the Journal of Medical Genetics.
