HOUSTON, TX, January 12, 2011 (Press-News.org) The product and business naming website NamingForce.com announces that in 2010 over 50 new businesses, products, and websites were named through its service. Naming Force uses crowdsourcing to help generate creative names for products, businesses, and websites.
Crowdsourcing is the practice of taking a traditionally private task and opening it up to the public. Normally, it would be too costly for most entrepreneurs and small businesses to hire professional branding services; now they turn to Naming Force for help.
In 2010, more than 50 successful names were generated by the service, resulting in more than $7,500 in paid awards to the "namers." Naming Force allows any U.S. resident 18 years of age or older to register and compete for the awards offered for each naming assignment. Naming assignments are active for 30 days, after which the client decides if a winning name has been submitted. If a name is chosen, the award amount is paid to the creative namer who submitted the name.

Stem Cell Therapy Cream Science Opens Door for Anti-Aging Creams and Anti-Wrinkle Creams
2011-01-12
While many scientists may state that stem cells are the key to longer and healthier lives, some are not waiting on the technology for that and are using it in the anti-aging industry to bring unmatched results in wrinkle removal. The ant-wrinkle and skin cream industry has been in a state of remission as far as advancements in the industry for decades.
While some skin care creams do show a marked reduction in wrinkles, it is a short term loss and not something that has a real and lasting effect. Most of the skin care creams on the market swell the skin to give the appearance ...

Molecular medicine could avert predicted catastrophic vision loss in the aged
2011-01-11
Chennai, India (January 9, 2011) - While age-related vision loss of catastrophic proportions is predicted in coming decades, rising from 17 million patients today to 55 million by the year 2050, it's possible this catastrophe could be averted and lost vision even restored using molecular medicine.
These are the words of Stuart Richer, OD, PhD, speaking at the 10th annual meeting and International Conference on Recent Trends in Therapeutic Advancement of Free Radical Science, in Chennai, India today.
Dr. Richer says modern medicine is just beginning to evaluate ...
Wave power could contain fusion plasma
2011-01-11
Researchers at the University of Warwick's Centre for Fusion Space and Astrophysics and the UK Atomic Energy Authority's Culham Centre for Fusion Energy, may have found a way to channel the flux and fury of a nuclear fusion plasma into a means to help sustain the electric current needed to contain that very same fusion plasma.
The researchers used large scale computer simulations to confirm a longstanding prediction by US researchers that high energy alpha particles born in fusion reactions will be key to generating fusion power in the next planned generation of tokamaks. ...
Single cell studies identify coactivator role in fat cell maturation
2011-01-11
HOUSTON - (Jan. 10, 2011) – All fat cells are not the same – a fact that has implications in the understanding and treatment of type 2 diabetes and obesity, said researchers from Baylor College of Medicine (www.bcm.edu) in a report that appears in the current issue of the Journal of Cell Biology (http://www.jcb.rupress.org/).
The amount of fat in each cell and the central transcription factor, PPAR gamma (peroxisome proliferator activated receptor gamma), can vary widely, but the fat cells (adipocytes) can maintain stable levels of master switches known as steroid receptor ...
Study shows a serious risk of side effects when having latent tuberculosis therapy over age 65
2011-01-11
A new study found that there is a serious increased risk of side effects requiring hospitalization in people over the age of 65 who are going through latent tuberculosis infection therapy, according to a study published in CMAJ (Canadian Medical Association Journal) (pre-embargo link only) http://www.cmaj.ca/embargo/cmaj091824.pdf.
Latent tuberculosis therapy has been shown to reduce the development of active tuberculosis (TB) disease and is used as a way to control tuberculosis in Canada and the United States. Deciding to treat a person with latent tuberculosis therapy ...
Risks associated with secondhand smoke in cars carrying children
2011-01-11
While the evidence is incomplete there is enough available to support legislation against letting people smoke in cars with children, states an article in CMAJ (Canadian Medical Association Journal) (pre-embargo link only) http://www.cmaj.ca/embargo/cmaj100903.pdf.
This analysis was conducted to settle the matter of risk to children when in a car with second-hand smoke. The authors also wanted to show that although smoking in cars is not 23 times more toxic in a car than in a home it can still be very harmful to children.
"We hope to show that, though the relevant data ...
Why we need better drug monitoring
2011-01-11
The use of recombinant activated factor 7 (rFVIIa) despite its potential for adverse events displays the serious shortcomings of Canada's current drug surveillance system, according to a commentary published in CMAJ (Canadian Medical Association Journal) (pre-embargo link only) http://www.cmaj.ca/embargo/cmaj101842.pdf.
Off-label use of this therapy — a blood product — was driven by key physician opinion leaders who thought recombinant factor VIIa could be used to treat or prevent bleeding in patients without hemophilia at risk of death. This shows how promising case ...
Immune cells help heal eye injury in mice
2011-01-11
A paper published online on January 10 in the Journal of Experimental Medicine reports that retinal ganglion cells—neurons in the eye—are rescued by immune cells that infiltrate the mouse retina after eye injury.
A group led by Michal Schwartz at the Weizmann Institute detected immune cells called macrophages in the retinas of mice that sustained eye injuries a few days prior. Thanks to their expression of an anti-inflammatory protein, these macrophages dampened injury-induced inflammation and protected the retinal ganglion cells from death. Macrophage arrival also awakened ...
Couch potatoes beware: Too much time spent watching TV is harmful to heart health
2011-01-11
Spending too much leisure time in front of a TV or computer screen appears to dramatically increase the risk for heart disease and premature death from any cause, perhaps regardless of how much exercise one gets, according to a new study published in the January 18, 2011, issue of the Journal of the American College of Cardiology. Data show that compared to people who spend less than two hours each day on screen-based entertainment like watching TV, using the computer or playing video games, those who devote more than four hours to these activities are more than twice as ...
