American Orthopaedic Society for Sports Medicine Specialty Day American Journal of Sports MedicineNew study finds 70 percent of able-bodied hockey players have abnormal hip and pelvis MRIs Seventy percent of healthy professional and collegiate hockey players had abnormal hip and pelvis MRIs (magnetic resonance imaging), even though they had no symptoms of injury, according to a study presented today at the American Orthopedic Society for Sports Medicine's Specialty Day in New Orleans. The study's surprising findings could serve as a warning for surgeons to not depend excessively on imaging when diagnosing patients. Contact: Lisa Weisenberger

NatureFoiling an attack on general relativity In an attempt to explain away invisible dark matter and dark energy, some theorists have offered modified theories of gravity that try to improve on Einstein's General Theory of Relativity. A new study based on the Sloan Digital Sky Survey and inspired by the work of Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory cosmologist Uros Seljak indicates that at least one of these alternate theories is wrong.

NaturePrinceton scientists say Einstein's theory applies beyond the solar system A team led by Princeton University scientists has tested Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity to see if it holds true at cosmic scales. And, after two years of analyzing astronomical data, the scientists have concluded that Einstein's theory, which describes the interplay between gravity, space and time, works as well in vast distances as in more local regions of space.

CladisticsPhylogenetic analysis of Mexican cave scorpions suggests adaptation to caves is reversable A new study of the scorpion family Typhlochactidae, a group of nine dark-adapted species endemic to Mexico, shows that specialized traits are not necessarily an evolutionary dead end. At least three reversals, or a return to generalized morphology, were found in a phylogenetic analysis.
