Keryx says anemia drug succeeds in study of kidney patients
2016-03-29 13:57:33| Biotech - Topix.net
Keryx Biopharmaceuticals Inc on Tuesday said its drug to treat iron deficiency anemia in chronic kidney disease patients not yet requiring dialysis met the goals of a late stage clinical trial, potentially paving the way for an expanded approval of the treatment. In the 16-week study of 234 patients with moderate to severe kidney disease, 52 percent of those who received Keryx's ferric citrate saw their hemoglobin levels rise by at least 1 gram per deciliter of blood during the trial.

Desert mangroves are major source of carbon storage, study shows
2016-03-29 05:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: Researchers found that short, stunted mangroves living along the coastal desert of Baja California store up to five times more carbon below ground than their lush, tropical counterparts. The new study led by researchers at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego estimates that coastal desert mangroves, which only account for one percent of the land area, store nearly 30 percent of the region's belowground carbon. "Mangroves represent a thin layer between ocean and land, and yet we...

Barrier Reef at greater risk than thought: study
2016-03-26 23:13:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Agence France-Presse: Australia`s Great Barrier Reef, the world`s largest coral bank, is at greater risk than previously thought of dissolving as climate change renders the oceans more acidic, researchers warned recently. A decline in aragonite - the mineral that corals use to build their skeletons - is likely to accelerate, they found, as oceans absorb carbon dioxide spewed by mankind`s burning of fossil fuels. This disturbs ocean chemistry, leading to a drop in the pH level and less aragonite, a crystal form of...

Winter storms strongest to hit western Europe since 1948, study shows
2016-03-26 16:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Environmental News Network: The repeated storms which battered Europe's Atlantic coastline during the winter of 2013/14 were the most energetic in almost seven decades, new research has shown. And they were part of a growing trend in stormy conditions which scientists say has the potential to dramatically change the equilibrium state of beaches along the western side of the continent, leading to permanent changes in beach gradient, coastal alignment and nearshore bar position. In a study accepted for publication in Geophysical...
