Jennifer Kries has created a challenging intermediate to advanced workout in response to requests for workouts to address specific areas of the body. If you are looking for a great full-body workout, you can do all four workouts one after the other. If...

Getting a tone set of abdominals is not as difficult as it may seem, you do need to have a good set of exercises that fit with your fitness level.

You are going to want to choose exercises that are simple, that target the muscle groups you want and that are going to require a minimal amount of equipment.

There are complex exercise routines that promise you perfect results but you can get the same results using simpler techniques.

(University of Adelaide) University of Adelaide scientists are part of an international research team that has uncovered the first example of a bacterium causing disease in humans by targeting a molecule that is incorporated into our bodies from our diet.

The discovery has been published in the prestigious international journal Nature.

(Rutgers University) Rutgers scientists have identified a new antibiotic target and a new antibiotic mechanism that may enable the development of broad-spectrum antibacterial agents effective against bacterial pathogens resistant to current antibiotics.

In particular, the results could lead the way to new treatments for tuberculosis that involve shorter courses of therapy and are effective against drug-resistant TB.

Your significant other may say that they love your love handles, but you don't. Love handles occur all the time, because most of our fat is stored around our midsection.

It can be a difficult, painstaking process to lose your love handles, but there is hope. Using exercises that target large muscle groups, you can burn fat at an amazing pace.

(Society for General Microbiology) Scientists have uncovered a new target for the potential treatment of TB, finally resolving a long-running debate about how the bacterial cell wall is built.

The research, published in the July issue of Microbiology reveals several molecules that could be developed into drugs to treat tuberculosis.

Multi drug-resistant strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the bacterium that causes TB, sparked concern but the recent emergence of extensively drug-resistant strains means the search for new treatments is imperative.

Q I've heard many recommendations to use a pedometer and try to walk 10,000 steps a day. I've been using one for years and usually meet or exceed the target.

But most of my steps are at a normal walking pace -- just to get wherever I'm going.

Its message and look were clever, hyper, even edgy -- the perfect appeal to the tweeners who were its target.

Yes, tweeners, the 9- to 13-year-olds stuck between young children and true teenagers. A group whose rate of overweight and obesity has almost quadrupled since 1974, not just because of t...

On the Retired Doc's Thoughts blog, Dr James Gaulte offers some insight into the problems with scorecards for physicians or hospitals, and resulting pay-for-performance (P4P) schemes.

In the April 15 issue of G&D, Dr. Richard Flavell and colleagues identify the c-Cbl protein as a critical repressor of hematopoietic stem cell self-renewal.

In addition to establishing a key role for protein ubiquitylation in HSC development, this finding posits c-Cbl as a potential target in research into stem cell engineering as well as cell-based leukemia treatments.
