A study issued by The Royal Society in the U.K. shows the rise of industrial and auto pollution could turn the Earth's water so acidic by century's end, meaning the entire marine world would be in serious jeopardy.

Ken Caldeira, co-author of the report, states if the rise of carbon dioxide from human activities continues to increase, marine life would suffer greatly, the implications of which cannot be fully anticipated.

Pfizer Inc. announces it is calling off development of two experimental drugs because of poor trial results.

Pfizer has been developing an HIV therapy and a treatment for asthma and lung disease in collaboration with Germany's Altana AG. According to an Associated Press report, Pfizer had to scrap its development program midway when experiments didn't show any favorable results for the patients.

A study published by U.S. researchers Friday states young children who snore could be at greater risk of becoming hyperactivity later in life, as opposed to those who sleep quietly.

In 2002, a team at the University of Michigan reported that of 229 children studied, those who were regular snorers were twice as likely to have hyperactivity or attention issues later in their adult lives. The rate was four times as higher for boys under the age of 8.
