love really could be a drug, say scientists, who believe that one day the feelings may be induced by popping a pill or smelling perfume. it may not be the most romantic gesture but scientists are developing drugs that can boost that most human of emotions. they are studying the brain chemistry responsible for the complex feelings that draw us to a particular member of the opposite sex and help keep us monogamous. animal testing is beginning to shed light on the complex neural and genetic components of love in the same way they have led to pharmaceutical therapies for anxiety, phobias and post-traumatic stress disorders. the behavioural scientist professor larry young, of emory university, georgia, writing in the journal nature, said: "for one thing, drugs that manipulate brain systems at whim to enhance or diminish our love for another may not be far away." experiments have already shown a nasal squirt of the hormone oxytocin enhances trust and tunes people into others' emotions. websites are marketing products such as enhanced liquid trust, a cologne-like mixture of oxytocin and chemical scents called pheromones "designed to boost the dating and relationship area of your life". prof young said: "although such products are unlikely to do anything other than boost users' confidence, studies are under way in australia to determine whether an oxytocin spray might aid traditional marital therapy." prof young said: "the hormone interacts with the reward and reinforcement system driven by the neuro-transmitter dopamine – the same circuitry that drugs such as nicotine, cocaine and heroine act on in humans to produce euphoria and addiction. "dopamine-related reward regions of the human brain are active in mothers viewing images of their child. similar activation patterns are seen in people looking at photographs of their lovers." source

jerusalem, june 20 (upi) -- the israeli army is working with a local company to turn soldiers' blood into a freeze dried powder. blood samples are taken from new recruits and processed. in the battlefield, the powder can be mixed with water to treat wounded soldiers, the jerusalem post reported friday. the development was announced at a first-ever press conference for health reporters, conducted by the head of the israeli army's medical corps this week, the paper said. brig.gen. dr. nachman ash head of the medical corps told reporters if the idea proves itself it could also be adapted to civilian life. he said the company leading the research is core dynamics, a biotechnological company active in research and development of thawing and freeze-drying technologies in blood transfusions. ash revealed a few other lifesaving devices currently being developed for the army, including a portable device with ceramic pipes that can produce oxygen in the field for wounded soldiers and a battery-operated device that could be used to ventilate wounded soldiers on the battlefield. ash told reporters the army plans to convert the working models into commercial devices. source
north korean scientists have developed a new kind of noodle that delays feelings of hunger, a japan-based pro-pyongyang newspaper has reported. the noodles were made from corn and soybeans, the choson shinbo said. they left people feeling fuller longer and represented a technological breakthrough, the newspaper said. north korea is dependent on foreign food aid. last month the un warned that residents were experiencing their worst food shortages in a decade. but the communist country remains reluctant to allow experts to fully assess the scale of the problem or give them adequate access to deliver aid. according to the newspaper, which is seen as closely linked to the pyongyang leadership, the new noodles have twice as much protein and fives times as much fat as ordinary noodles. "when you consume ordinary noodles (made from wheat or corn), you may soon feel your stomach empty. but this soybean noodle delays such a feeling of hunger," it said on its website. the noodles would be available soon across north korea, the newspaper said. an estimated one million people starved to death in north korea in the late 1990s after natural disasters and government mismanagement devastated the country's economy. in july, the world food programme warned that six million people were in urgent need of food aid, following severe flooding last year. most households had cut their food intake and more people are scavenging for wild foods, wfp assessors found. source
