Many people who don't get enough sleep during the week, try to make up for it with a bit of extra shut eye on the weekends. But is it enough? A new study says no, it's not. In fact, catching up on lost sleep isn't an easy thing for the body. In a study at the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research in 2003, for example, scientists examined the cognitive effects of a week of poor sleep,...

Apparently a good sleep in on the weekend doesn't quite cut it In studies over the years, scientists have found that it can take a week or more for the cognitive and physiological consequences of poor sleep to wear off — even after increasing sleep. In a study at the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research in 2003, for example, scientists examined the cognitive effects of a week...
Medical scientists at the University of Pittsburgh and the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research screened nearly 200,000 chemical compounds and then regrouped them into chemotypes or chemical classes, both new and known, said senior investigator Professor John Lazo, director of the university's Drug Discovery Institute.
As a chronic insomniac, I'm always a little disturbed when I learn about the lingering cognitive effects of a bad night sleep: In a study at the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research in 2003, for example, scientists examined the cognitive effects of a week of poor sleep, followed by three days of sleeping at least eight hours a night. The scientists found that the "recovery"...
( Georgia Institute of Technology Research News ) Community-based education and awareness programs minimized the death toll from the recent Samoan tsunami, according to a team of researchers that traveled to Samoa last month.

Five years from now, Singapore may have a model of urban transportation that’s smart, green, and full of lessons for cities around the world. That’s the goal of a new project from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the National Research Foundation of Singapore called the Future of Urban Mobility. The pair announced plans last week [...]
Using an unconventional approach that they designed, University of Pittsburgh drug discoverers and their collaborators at Walter Reed Army Institute of Research have identified compounds that hold promise for treating leishmaniasis, a parasitic infection that many consider one of the world's most overlooked diseases. The findings are available online today in PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases....
