It is already known that hepatitis C can cause liver cancer, especially if left untreated. Now, a novel study has unveiled that those having hepatitis C are also at the risk of prostate and renal cancers, as well as non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.

These people are at increased risk to face these problems than the general population who do not have the disease. The researchers have gone through the medical records of cancer diagnosis for patients above 18 year old between 2008 and 2012.

You many have experienced a ringing sound in your ears that does not really exist. According to scientists, they have discovered that what goes on in human brain with regard to tinnitus is different from what happens when brain senses real sound. The scientists have discovered that while observing brain activity related to tinnitus.

The new study could be helpful in treating the often debilitating condition, which affects about one in five individuals. The study was conducted by researchers from the United States and the United Kingdom. During the study, the researchers took a recording directly from the brain of a man, about 50 years old, who was having surgery for epilepsy.

A JAMA Oncology published research has unveiled that removal of ovaries can bring a decline in breast cancer death in women who have being diagnosed with the cancer and carry a BRCA1 gene mutation.

Study researchers explained that women who have a germline mutation in the BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene have up to 70% chance of getting diagnosed with breast cancer. Once women are diagnosed with the cancer, they are at high risk of having second primary breast and ovarian cancers.

Researchers said earlier studies have linked reduced mortality associated with oophorectomy among women having a history of breast cancer and they are also the carriers of BRCA gene mutation carriers.

American conceptual artist and experimental philosopher Jonathon Keats has developed a ‘millennium camera’ that has the capability to capture the evolving landscape of a western Massachusetts mountain range over the next about 1,000 years. Keats has intended to mount the camera in a churchless steeple on a college campus.

The ‘millennium camera’ developed by the San Francisco writer and self-described experimental philosopher is a cylindrical device. The camera is light enough to hold in hand. According to Keats, the small device could survive for many centuries. Keats said that the device could encourage people to think further than their lifespan. The camera could allow people to think about deep time in which the world changes on a grand scale.

According to experts, Northern New England's annual amphibian migration is always dangerous and critters that cross roads to breed have been going through another challenge this year.

In every spring, many species of salamanders and frogs travel to vernal pools with a propose mate and lay eggs and offspring require numerous months to develop and grow legs before the pools dry up in summer.

According to wildlife officials, the migration is running a week or two behind this year and it is cutting into that serious development time. Eric Orff, a wildlife biologist with the National Wildlife Federation, said that millions of animals across Vermont, Maine and New Hampshire might get affected.

According to Newser.com report, scientists have found a new way to tell twins apart by studying the different melting points of their DNA.

According to Newser.com, identical twins have identical DNA that on time creates problems for crime scene investigators. There is a possibility that one could blame another for a crime or both could be suspects. As per Science Daily reports, the new method of processing DNA samples can help to find out one identical twin from another.

According to the scientists, they heat samples of DNA to their melting point or at that point at which the hydrogen bonds in our DNA break. The scientists said that every twin's DNA melts at a slightly different temperature. Lifestyle differences like smoking or exposure to sunlight can also cause such variances.
