Washington, Dec 8 : A new study has found that married men are more likely to go for early prostate cancer screening than their lone counterparts.

The research team from University of Michigan has found that men are less likely to go for early screening unless they have a wife or significant other living with them.

"In terms of motivating people to get screened, there may be benefit in targeting wives or significant others as well as men," said lead author Lauren P. Wallner, M. P. H., a graduate research associate at the University of Michigan.

During the study, the research team led by Wallner looked at 2,447 Caucasian men ages 40 years to 79 years from Olmstead County, Minnesota.

London, Dec 8 : Though melting Antarctic ice sheets have become potent symbols of global warming, they may actually turn out to help in the battle against climate change and soaring carbon emissions.

According to a report in the Guardian, Professor Rob Raiswell, a geologist at the University of Leeds, said that as the sheets break off the ice covering the continent, floating icebergs are produced that gouge minerals from the bedrock as they make their way to the sea.

Raiswell determined that the accumulated frozen mud could breathe life into the icy waters around Antarctica, triggering a large, natural removal of carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere.
