PALM DESERT, CA, April 16, 2014 (Press-News.org) He lived through World War I and its poignant and personal consequences. He mingled amongst the party life of 1920s red light district Paris. He mocked the Nazis as a young Bert Brecht Theater graphic designer with his poster for Threepenny Opera in 1930s Munich. Then was subsequently arrested by Hitler and sent to Dachau as a cultural revolutionary in 1933. By the time he made it out, escaping to Palestine to witness the founding of Israel, Jewish artist David Schneuer had experienced enough to inspire a rich body of artwork. After decades of hardship, his art was discovered in 1960 when he became world renowned for his prints of social life in France prior to his darkest hours. Since then, his work has been shown in numerous museums throughout Europe and the United States, becoming quite valuable and exceedingly rare.
Today, 25 years after the artist's passing, the artist has received an extensive retrospective at California's Christian Hohmann Fine Art. In collaboration with several private collections and the Estate of David Schneuer, Christian Hohmann has curated the largest exhibition of originals ever shown in a commercial gallery in the United States. In conjunction with the show, a catalog with more than 60 originals and several fine prints has been published. The exhibition will be on display until the end of May and the catalog is available for purchase for $30.

Your Relationship is a Threesome and You Don't Even Know It
2014-04-16
A romantic dinner for two, a second honeymoon in a tropical paradise, or even a mundane trip to the grocery store. Three times a couple should feel completely at ease with each other. But look again. There's a third party muscling in on your relationship. It's not the in-laws or the kids; the BFF or the co-worker; and even though it sounds terrible, it's not even the lover of a cheating spouse.

Masculine boys, feminine girls more likely to engage in cancer risk behaviors
2014-04-16
Boston, MA -- Young people who conform most strongly to norms of masculinity and femininity—the most "feminine" girls and the most "masculine" boys—are significantly more likely than their peers to engage in behaviors that pose cancer risks, according to a new study led by Harvard School of Public Health (HSPH) researchers. The most feminine teenage girls use tanning beds more frequently and are more likely to be physically inactive, while the most masculine teenage boys are more likely to use chewing tobacco and to smoke cigars, compared with their gender-nonconforming ...

2014-04-16
CLEVELAND, Ohio (April 16, 2014)—A new study from the Women's Health Initiative (WHI) shows no significant connection between vitamin D levels and menopause symptoms. The study was published online today in Menopause, the journal of The North American Menopause Society.
The authors analyzed the relationship between the blood levels of vitamin D and a number of menopause symptoms, including hot flashes, night sweats, sleep disturbance, concentration, and forgetfulness in 530 women who participated in the calcium and vitamin D WHI trial.

UCI study finds modified stem cells offer potential pathway to treat Alzheimer's disease
2014-04-16
April 15, 2014, Irvine, Calif. — UC Irvine neurobiologists have found that genetically modified neural stem cells show positive results when transplanted into the brains of mice with the symptoms and pathology of Alzheimer's disease. The pre-clinical trial is published in the journal Stem Cells Research and Therapy, and the approach has been shown to work in two different mouse models.
Alzheimer's disease, one of the most common forms of dementia, is associated with accumulation of the protein amyloid-beta in the brain in the form of plaques. While the search continues ...
Prolonged and heavy bleeding during menopause is common
2014-04-16
ANN ARBOR—Women going through menopause most likely think of it as the time for an end to predictable monthly periods. Researchers at the University of Michigan say it's normal, however, for the majority of them to experience an increase in the amount and duration of bleeding episodes, which may occur at various times throughout the menopausal transition.
The researchers from the U-M School of Public Health and U-M Health System offer the first long-term study of bleeding patterns in women of multiple race/ethnicities who were going through menopause. They say the results ...
New research shows how pathogenic E. coli O157:H7 binds to fresh vegetables
2014-04-16
Food-poisoning outbreaks linked to disease-causing strains of the bacterium Escherichia coli are normally associated with tainted meat products. However, between 20-30% of these are caused by people eating contaminated vegetables, as was seen in the 2011 outbreak in Europe that caused 53 deaths. Research presented today at the Society for General Microbiology's Annual Meeting in Liverpool shows that the disease-causing E. coli O157:H7 interacts directly with plant cells, allowing it to anchor to the surface of a plant, where it can multiply.

Preterm delivery, low birth weight and neonatal risk in pregnant women with high blood pressure
2014-04-16
Pregnant women with chronic hypertension (high blood pressure) are highly likely to suffer from adverse pregnancy outcomes such as preterm delivery, low birth weight and neonatal death, which highlights a need for heightened surveillance, suggests a paper published on bmj.com today.
Chronic hypertension complicates between 1-5% of pregnancies, and the problem may be increasing because of changes in the antenatal population.
A recent study in the US suggests the prevalence of chronic hypertension increased from 1995-1996 to 2007-2008, after adjustment for maternal ...
The Lancet: Functional brain imaging reliably predicts which vegetative patients have potential to recover consciousness
2014-04-16
A functional brain imaging technique known as positron emission tomography (PET) is a promising tool for determining which severely brain damaged individuals in vegetative states have the potential to recover consciousness, according to new research published in The Lancet.
It is the first time that researchers have tested the diagnostic accuracy of functional brain imaging techniques in clinical practice.
"Our findings suggest that PET imaging can reveal cognitive processes that aren't visible through traditional bedside tests, and could substantially complement standard ...
