Dr. Michael Murphy hands over presidential position at Baltimore City Dental Society meeting.

2014-03-01

BALTIMORE, MD, March 01, 2014 (Press-News.org) What does it mean to be a member of the Baltimore City Dental Society? It's an indication that members are working together to create a better understanding of the new techniques and technology emerging in dentistry. In December 2013, Dr. Michael Murphy handed his presidential gavel to a fellow dentist and member of the Baltimore City Dental Society, Dr. Jerry Kilan.

"I am confident Dr. Jerry Kilan is a perfect fit as the President of the Baltimore City Dental Society. My time in this leadership role was a learning experience in many ways. As of now, I am continuing a term as a delegate in 2014," explains Dr. Murphy, dentist in Baltimore.

Dr. Murphy and his associate, Dr. Dawn Merguerian both dedicate their time to their local dental society. Dr. Merguerian is the President-Elect for 2015. As much time as they bring to light new dental research and practices, Dr. Murphy and his associates spend as much time, maybe even more, building upon their practice.

Dentistry is quickly evolving, which is why it's more important than ever to maintain membership in many dental organizations-each one brings forth different opinions and concentrations.

Besides participating with their local dental society, Dr. Murphy is an active member of the American College of Prosthodontics (ACP), International College of Oral Implantology (ICOI), Academy of General Dentistry (AGD) and American Dental Association (ADA).

2014-03-01

SAN ANTONIO – Neuroblastoma is one of the most common and lethal types of childhood cancers. In a paper published online today in OncoTarget, a researcher at the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio unveils the important role of microRNAs in regulating neuroblastoma development, pointing to new therapeutic possibilities.

It slices, it dices, and it protects the body from harm (Science)

2014-02-28

An essential weapon in the body's fight against infection has come into sharper view. Researchers at Princeton University have discovered the 3D structure of an enzyme that cuts to ribbons the genetic material of viruses and helps defend against bacteria. The discovery of the structure of this enzyme, a first-responder in the body's "innate immune system," could enable new strategies for fighting infectious agents and possibly prostate cancer and obesity. The work was published Feb. 27 in the journal Science. Until now, the research community has lacked a structural ...

DARIEN, IL – A new study of Gulf War veterans found an association between poor sleep quality and reduced gray matter volume in the brain's frontal lobe, which helps control important processes such as working memory and executive function.

Researchers identify brain differences linked to insomnia

2014-02-28

Johns Hopkins researchers report that people with chronic insomnia show more plasticity and activity than good sleepers in the part of the brain that controls movement. "Insomnia is not a nighttime disorder," says study leader Rachel E. Salas, M.D., an assistant professor of neurology at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. "It's a 24-hour brain condition, like a light switch that is always on. Our research adds information about differences in the brain associated with it." Salas and her team, reporting in the March issue of the journal Sleep, found that ...
