The project brief was to extend an existing Federation-style heritage home to create a generous, light, and lofty contemporary living space that connects with the rear garden and laneway, a parent’s retreat + ensuite upstairs, and an additional bedroom kids’ bedroom. A vast increase in floor area was required however the scale and materiality of the extension needed to sit sympathetically against the character of the original house and be discrete from the front streetscape.

A study of overweight dogs fed a reduced calorie, high-protein, high-fiber diet for 24 weeks found that the dogs' body composition and inflammatory markers changed over time in ways that parallel the positive changes seen in humans on similar diets. The dogs achieved a healthier weight without losing too much muscle mass, and their serum triglycerides, insulin and inflammatory markers all decreased with weight loss.

A high protein diet appears linked to kidney disease and shortened lifespans for captive polar bears, a relationship similarly suspected in humans. A careful look at what zoos have fed polar bears revealed they mostly offered a diet intended for big cats, containing about 2-3 parts protein to 1-part fat, a reversal from what was observed in the wild.

When pregnant mice were fed butyrate -- a food supplement derived from intestinal bacteria -- most of their pups survived after exposure to infection that induces fatal biliary atresia, according to new study.

Mice fed a diet high in fat, cholesterol and calories, akin to the Western diet, had higher measures of blood lipids associated with elevated levels of inflammation, a new study finds.

Researchers have shown that albino mice of the C57BL/6 line are highly susceptible to developing the inflammatory liver condition non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) when fed a high cholesterol diet. The albino mice carry a mutation in the tyrosinase gene leading to a deficiency of melanin synthesis. NASH is a serious illness in humans, and the identification of the involvement of tyrosinase in NASH development will guide future research into this condition.

Federal investigators are looking at the denomination and several of its affiliated agencies, the Southern Baptist Convention confirmed Friday.
