Nitric Oxide Can Alter Brain Function Nov 28, 2008
"It is broadly localized in the central nervous system, where it influences synaptic transmission and contributes to learning and memory mechanisms. However, because it is normally released in such minute quantities and is so labile, it is very difficult to study. "We have exploited an in vitro preparation of a giant synapse -called the calyx of Held, developed here at the University of Leicester in the 1990s- and its target in the auditory pathway to explore nitric oxide signalling in the...

Direct Recording Shows Brain Signal Persists Even In Dreamless Sleep Oct 4, 2008
"A different, more labile and higher-frequency signal known as the gamma frequency activity has been the focus of much brain research in recent years," says first author Biyu He, a graduate student. "But we found that signal loses its large-scale structure in deep sleep, while the low-frequency signal does not, suggesting that the low-frequency signal may be more fundamental.". (Science Daily)

Scientists expand understanding of how river carbon impacts the Arctic Ocean Feb 13, 2008
However, a recent study by R. M. Holmes of the Woods Hole Research Center and colleagues at collaborating institutions challenges that assumption by showing that DOC in Alaskan arctic rivers is remarkably labile during the spring flood period when the majority of annual DOC flux occurs ... However, by timing their sampling to include the high-flow period just after the spring ice break, the authors found that much of the DOC discharged by Alaskan rivers to the Arctic Ocean is labile ... Holmes... (EurekAlert!)
Germaine Greer on the power of Clinton's tears Jan 10, 2008
We don't cry in front of people who are labile, people who are old and ill, for example, because they will start crying too. Good manners preclude crying in front of people who need every ounce of their psychic strength if they are to survive. (Guardian Unlimited)
Once-Daily Exjade(R) Shown to Remove Toxic Iron From the Heart and Liver, According to Data Presented at ASH Dec 12, 2007
Exjade demonstrates safety and efficacy in lower-risk MDS patients(3) Additional research demonstrated that treatment with Exjade decreased mean SF levels over one year in patients with low- or intermidiate-1 IPSS risk MDS. Additionally, 100 percent of patients experienced a stabilised labile plasma iron (LPI) over 12 months, indicating 24-hour sustained suppression of toxic iron with Exjade ... Deferasirox (ICL670;Exjade(R)) Reduces Serum Ferritin (SF) and Labile Plasma Iron (LPI) in Patients... (PR Newswire)
CorMedix Studies Show That Removing 'Toxic' Iron Could Slow Progression of Chronic Kidney Disease Nov 3, 2007
And we learned that patients with diabetic renal disease have abnormally high levels of catalytic iron - often called 'labile' or 'toxic' iron - in their urine. But we needed to clarify the significance of this finding. (Primezone Releases)
Billions owed Native Americans debated Oct 11, 2007
Blackelk wrote on Oct 10, 2007 1:23 PM:" It seems to me that the only way to have a nonbiased decision would be to have an outside arbitrator or judge for another country or the UN step in and make a judgment. How can one ask a thief for what has been stolen, and hope for justice. The courts are not set up for justice in the case. Until the US can be held labile on a world stage for justice and equality, then Native Tribes will not get the reparations or the proper amount that has been robbed,... (Rapid City Journal, SD)
