Outlandish New Book Being Released April 1st Promises Humorous Path to World Peace
2014-03-28
SAN FRANCISCO, CA, March 28, 2014 (Press-News.org) Saving the world is usually no laughing matter. But the members of My Hyena Comedy believe the opposite is true.

For over ten years, My Hyena Comedy has been on a mission to make the world a better place by sharing their quirky, and often juvenile, sense of humor with others through their infamous podcast and website (MyHyena.com). This April Fool's Day they're promoting the healing power of humor through the release of their new paperback book "unHOLY SKITS! Politicians, Prostitutes, and Kinky Koalas" ($14.95).

"Is it silly for us to think that that we can save the world with a book of corny comedic stories and short punny plays?" asks the Northern California troupe member known as Big Daddy. "No. So many people live in a constant state of stress and dissatisfaction. Humor doesn't just provide a reprieve, it strengthens the muscles needed for resiliency and obtaining more positive perspectives."

Though the book is primarily comprised of 25 short comedic skits first performed on their comedy podcast, The My Hyena Humor Healing Hour, the troupe says it's not just for actors and theater groups.

As Arizona My Hyena member The Jackal explains, "The play format is just an easy way for readers to digest our humor. It's all really tongue-and-cheek, and we hope people use our skits as daily humor meditations. Train your brain to laugh at least once a day and learn to live happy for a lifetime...or something like that."

With skits ranging from the nice (Comedic Presidential Campaign Strategies; The Last Honest Driver) to the naughty (Dr. Sexalot; The Dirty Dentist; Circumcision Gone South), My Hyena believes that all readers can find something in the book to give their funny bones a workout.

"unHOLY SKITS! Politicians, Prostitutes, and Kinky Koalas" has earned advanced praise for its laugh-inducing comedy sketches.

According to Chris Satchwell, editor and chief at TheHumorBlog.com, "'unHOLY SKITS!' is a cracking collection of short stories that require you to fire up your laughing gear and prepare for the hilarious endings!"

The book is currently available for pre-order on Amazon: www.amzn.com/0984223975. More information about the author can be found at www.myhyena.com.

To schedule an interview with My Hyena Comedy or to request a review copy of "unHOLY SKITS! Politicians, Prostitutes, and Kinky Koalas," please contact the publicist Allan Guerra at aguerra@hyenapress.com.

Esophageal function implicated in life-threatening experiences in infants, study suggests

Esophageal function implicated in life-threatening experiences in infants, study suggests
2014-03-28
About 1 percent of all emergency room visits are prompted by near-death experiences in infants, such as extended periods without breathing or sudden changes in skin pallor or muscle tone. What causes these frightening experiences is often unknown, but the result can be long hospital stays and neurological impairment. Now, a study of these apparent life-threatening events — called ALTEs for short — suggests that infants who experience them have abnormal regulation of esophageal and airway function compared to healthy babies. The findings, published online March 28 in ...

QUB discovery signals new treatment for those at high risk of breast and ovarian cancer

QUB discovery signals new treatment for those at high risk of breast and ovarian cancer
2014-03-28
Cancer researchers at Queen's University Belfast have made a breakthrough which could signal new treatments for women at high risk of breast and ovarian cancer. Currently around one in 1,000 women in the UK carry what is known as a BRCA1 mutation - the same condition that prompted well-known actress Angelina Jolie to undergo a double mastectomy. They have up to an 85 per cent risk of developing breast cancer, and up to 40 per cent risk of developing ovarian cancer, in their lifetimes. Until now, preventive surgery - mastectomy (breasts) and oophorectomy (ovaries) - ...

Stool samples provide marker for bowel disease

2014-03-28
A novel method for distinguishing different types of bowel disease using the stool samples of patients has been created by a group of researchers in the UK. It works by analysing the chemical compounds emitted from the samples and could provide cheaper, quicker and more accurate diagnoses, at the point of care, for a group of diseases that have, up until now, been very hard to distinguish. The preliminary results of the test, which have been published today, 28 March, in IOP Publishing's Journal of Breath Research, show that patients with either inflammatory bowel disease ...

New Parkinson's disease chemical messenger discovered

2014-03-28
A new chemical messenger that is critical in protecting the brain against Parkinson's disease has been identified by scientists at the Medical Research Council (MRC) Protein Phosphorylation and Ubiquitylation Unit at the University of Dundee. The research team led by Dr Miratul Muqit had previously discovered that mutations in two genes – called PINK1 and Parkin – lead to Parkinson's. Now they have made a completely unexpected discovery about the way the two genes interact, which they say could open up exciting new avenues for research around Parkinson's and offer new ...

Smoking bans cut premature births and childhood asthma attacks

2014-03-28
Banning smoking in public places has helped to cut premature births by 10 per cent, new research shows. The study of data from parts of North America and Europe where smoking bans have been introduced also showed a 10 per cent fall in hospital attendance for childhood asthma attacks. The findings reveal that the impact of anti-smoking laws varies between countries but overall the effect on child health around the world is very positive. Laws that prohibit smoking in public places, such as bars, restaurants and work places, are already proven to protect adults from ...

What psychosocial factors can help IVF patients?

2014-03-28
The whole 'infertility journey' is an emotional rollercoaster and whilst IVF treatment might be successful for some, not knowing if you will be in the 25 per cent who become pregnant demands some serious coping skills. After reviewing research that explored which psychosocial factors are associated with the emotional adjustment of IVF patients, researchers have highlighted which key psychosocial factors could help identify patients at high risk of stress. The aim of the study, led by PhD student, Helen Rockliff, from the University of Bristol's School of Clinical Sciences, ...

Public smoking bans associated with reduction in premature births and childhood asthma

2014-03-28
Boston, MA – In the first comprehensive study to look at how anti-smoking laws are affecting the health of children, researchers from University of Edinburgh collaborated with researchers from Maastricht University, Hasselt University, Harvard Medical School and Brigham and Women's Hospital, to conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis examining the effect of smoke-free legislation on child health. They found that the introduction of new laws that ban smoking in public places in North America and Europe has been followed by a decrease in rates of premature births and ...

Using tobacco to thwart infectious disease?

Using tobacco to thwart infectious disease?
2014-03-27
An international research group led by Arizona State University professor Qiang "Shawn" Chen has developed a new generation of potentially safer and more cost-effective therapeutics against West Nile virus, and other pathogens. The therapeutics, known as monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) and their derivatives, were shown to neutralize and protect mice against a lethal dose challenge of West Nile virus---even as late as 4 days after the initial infection. "The overarching goal of our research is to create an innovative, yet sustainable and accessible, low cost solution to ...

How rotavirus infection accelerates autoimmune diabetes in a mouse model

How rotavirus infection accelerates autoimmune diabetes in a mouse model
2014-03-27
A combination of genetic predisposition and environmental factors is believed to cause autoimmune (type 1) diabetes. A study published on March 27th in PLOS Pathogens gets at the mechanisms by which rotavirus infection contributes to autoimmune diabetes in a mouse model of the disease. NOD (for non-obese diabetic) mice are prone to develop diabetes, and infection with rotavirus accelerates onset of the disease. Barbara Coulson and colleagues, from The University of Melbourne, Australia, tested the hypothesis that the virus does this by inducing "bystander activation". ...
