| Sheffield Hospital Researching the Risk of Rare Child Cancer
A team from Sheffield Children's Hospital is undertaking some pioneering research to explore if DNA testing can identify children at risk of developing a rare form of cancer. Children, as well as adults, can suffer from 'reflux' - a continuous backward flow of acid stomach contents that damages the tissue of the oesophagus giving symptoms of heartburn. Some of these patients can then develop a condition called Barrett's oesophagus which can also mean that they have an increased risk of getting cancer of the oesophagus. The study, made possible by a 1,880 donation from the Sheffield Children's Hospital Charity, is the first ever to look into the relationship between children with Barrett's oesophagus and changes in the cell's DNA that make them more prone to developing cancer later in life.

Keeler: For UNI, home is where the heartburn is - and road doesn't ...
Cedar Falls, Ia. - The good news is the Panthers somehow found their mojo again Tuesday night. The bad news is that it happened with about 8 minutes left in the second half, when they were already down 16 points and threatening to get blown out of their own building.
"Dig yourself that big a hole," junior center Eric Coleman said after Northern Iowa's 67-61 loss to Wichita State, "(and) it's hard to come back."
And that's where the Panthers find themselves this morning. Stuck in a hole. Northern Iowa is riding a three-game losing streak for the first time since the 2003-04 season. Since starting 4-0 in the Missouri Valley Conference on Jan. 6, the Panthers have lost five of seven.
Up next: Five of eight away from the McLeod Center, starting with a Hoosier-state swing through Evansville and Indiana State.
Great-tasting hydration and fuel? It's about time
Twenty-first-century athletes and outdoor adventurers who want to stay energized and hydrated can enjoy great taste in their supplements, without worrying about chemical additives and artificial ingredients. One of the newest innovations comes in the hydration market. Forget sugary powders filled with pseudo-fruit flavors. The newest hydrating drink for outdoor enthusiasts comes in the form of a tablet. At first glance, the Nuun hydration tabs look and act like Alka-Seltzer tablets. Packaged in a slim plastic tube, the tablets are about the size of two quarters stacked together. To use, simply pop a pair of the tablets into a quart water bottle and watch it work. The tablets fizz and bubble just like those old Alka-Seltzers. But instead of curing heartburn, the Nuun tabs quench your thirst.
