The incidence of a number of common cancers (breast, colorectal, prostate, bladder, lymphoma, and oral cancers) is lower in Japan by a factor of two to ten times than in North America or Western Europe. The medical profession is edging toward a conclusion that a significant portion of the reduction in alimentary system cancers and breast cancer is associated with the importance of the humble soybean to Japanese diets. <a href="/web/20120527174828/http://www.gizmag.com/cancer-drug-soaking-soybeans/22605/">Read More</a> </p> </div> </div> <div class="summary_item "> <div class="summary_details "> <div class="sd_top"> </div> <div class="clear_both"> <h2><a href="/web/20120527174828/http://www.gizmag.com/pacifier-activated-lullaby-device/22617/">Pacifier Activated Lullaby device uses music to teach premature babies how to feed</a></h2> <div class="summary_details_left"> <p>By <a href="/web/20120527174828/http://www.gizmag.com/author/darren-quick/">Darren Quick</a></p> <p><em>19:59 May 21, 2012</em></p> </div> <div class="summary_details_right"> <p></p> <p></p> </div> </div> </div> <center><a class="noback" href="/web/20120527174828/http://www.gizmag.com/pacifier-activated-lullaby-device/22617/"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20120527174828im_/http://images.gizmag.com/hero/pal.jpg" title="The Pacifier Activated Lullaby (PAL) device uses a specially wired pacifier and speaker to..." alt="The Pacifier Activated Lullaby (PAL) device uses a specially wired pacifier and speaker to..."/></a></center> <div class="summary"> <p> One of the myriad of hurdles premature babies must overcome after entering the world too soon is learning how to suck and feed.

When patients get to hospital for IV therapy, there may not be enough staff to monitor the drip, and the child may die from receiving the wrong amount of fluid, which is also potentially fatal in cases of over-hydration. In order to help health care workers in those places, engineering students at Rice University have developed a prototype of a technically simple yet ingenuous IV drip system that adds an element of automation to the process. <a href="/web/20120527174828/http://www.gizmag.com/rice-university-iv-drip/22579/">Read More</a> </p> </div> </div> <div class="summary_item "> <div class="summary_details "> <div class="sd_top"> </div> <div class="clear_both"> <h2><a href="/web/20120527174828/http://www.gizmag.com/nerve-transfer-surgery/22592/">Nerve detour restores partial hand function in quadriplegic patient</a></h2> <div class="summary_details_left"> <p>By <a href="/web/20120527174828/http://www.gizmag.com/author/darren-quick/">Darren Quick</a></p> <p><em>01:35 May 18, 2012</em></p> </div> <div class="summary_details_right"> <p><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20120527174828im_/http://images.gizmag.com/layout/icons/comments.png" alt=""/> <a href="/web/20120527174828/http://www.gizmag.com/nerve-transfer-surgery/22592/#comments">2 Comments</a> </p> <p></p> </div> </div> </div> <center><a class="noback" href="/web/20120527174828/http://www.gizmag.com/nerve-transfer-surgery/22592/"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20120527174828im_/http://images.gizmag.com/hero/nerve_transfer.jpg" title="Surgeons have restored some hand function to a quadriplegic patient by rerouting nerves in..." alt="Surgeons have restored some hand function to a quadriplegic patient by rerouting nerves in..."/></a></center> <div class="summary"> <p> It's been a good news week for those suffering debilitating spinal injuries.

Unfortunately, getting someone to take a trip to a clinic isn't always easy, particularly in areas where there aren't many options for discreet testing. In a development that could leap right over this privacy hurdle, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has just unanimously approved an over-the-counter HIV test that enables people to test themselves in their own home and receive results in just 20 minutes. <a href="/web/20120527174828/http://www.gizmag.com/quick-hiv-test/22562/">Read More</a> </p> </div> </div> <div class="summary_item "> <div class="summary_details "> <div class="sd_top"> </div> <div class="clear_both"> <h2><a href="/web/20120527174828/http://www.gizmag.com/light-powered-retinal-prosthesis/22556/">New light-powered retinal prosthesis could restore sight to the blind</a></h2> <div class="summary_details_left"> <p>By <a href="/web/20120527174828/http://www.gizmag.com/author/ben-coxworth/">Ben Coxworth</a></p> <p><em>14:54 May 15, 2012</em></p> </div> <div class="summary_details_right"> <p></p> <p><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20120527174828im_/http://images.gizmag.com/layout/icons/image_modernist.png" alt=""/> <a href="/web/20120527174828/http://www.gizmag.com/light-powered-retinal-prosthesis/22556/pictures">2 Pictures</a></p> </div> </div> </div> <center><a class="noback" href="/web/20120527174828/http://www.gizmag.com/light-powered-retinal-prosthesis/22556/"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20120527174828im_/http://images.gizmag.com/hero/infraredprosthesis.jpg" title="A new retinal prosthesis could allow the blind to see, by using pulses of near-infrared li..." alt="A new retinal prosthesis could allow the blind to see, by using pulses of near-infrared li..."/></a></center> <div class="summary"> <p> Age-related macular degeneration is the leading cause of blindness in North America, while retinitis pigmentosa causes approximately 1.5 million people worldwide to lose their sight every year. Individuals afflicted with retinal degenerative diseases such as these <em>might</em> someday be able to see again, however, thanks to a device being developed at California’s Stanford University. Scientists there are working on a retinal prosthesis, that uses what could almost be described as miniature solar panels to turn light signals into nerve impulses. <a href="/web/20120527174828/http://www.gizmag.com/light-powered-retinal-prosthesis/22556/">Read More</a> </p> </div> </div> <div class="summary_item "> <div class="summary_details "> <div class="sd_top"> </div> <div class="clear_both"> <h2><a href="/web/20120527174828/http://www.gizmag.com/activating-brown-fat/22544/">Protein that stimulates brown fat could boost weight loss strategies</a></h2> <div class="summary_details_left"> <p>By <a href="/web/20120527174828/http://www.gizmag.com/author/darren-quick/">Darren Quick</a></p> <p><em>19:50 May 14, 2012</em></p> </div> <div class="summary_details_right"> <p><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20120527174828im_/http://images.gizmag.com/layout/icons/comments.png" alt=""/> <a href="/web/20120527174828/http://www.gizmag.com/activating-brown-fat/22544/#comments">2 Comments</a> </p> <p></p> </div> </div> </div> <center><a class="noback" href="/web/20120527174828/http://www.gizmag.com/activating-brown-fat/22544/"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20120527174828im_/http://images.gizmag.com/hero/brown_fat.jpg" title="Scientists have discovered a protein that activates brown fat (pictured) in mice (Image: T..." alt="Scientists have discovered a protein that activates brown fat (pictured) in mice (Image: T..."/></a></center> <div class="summary"> <p> For most of us fighting the battle of the bulge, fat is an enemy that must be reigned in to a healthier – and less noticeable – level. But there are actually two types of fat – or adipose tissue – found in mammals, white and brown. While white fat stores calories and is the culprit behind love handles, brown fat’s primary function is to generate heat to keep the body warm through the burning of fats in a process known as thermogenesis. Therefore, the ability to activate brown fat in the body could provide a means to fight obesity and keep the weight off. Now scientists have discovered a protein that could allow them to do just that. <a href="/web/20120527174828/http://www.gizmag.com/activating-brown-fat/22544/">Read More</a> </p> </div> </div> <div class="summary_item "> <div class="summary_details "> <div class="sd_top"> </div> <div class="clear_both"> <h2><a href="/web/20120527174828/http://www.gizmag.com/mems-food-analysis-device/22495/">What's for dinner?
