ADELAIDE, AUSTRALIA, April 03, 2011 (Press-News.org) The Adelaide Symphony Orchestra (ASO) will pay tribute to Miles Davis with two performances in the South Australia capital in May 2011.
One of the most influential musicians of the 20th century, Davis was at the forefront of many major developments in jazz, including bebop, hard bop and jazz fusion.
His ensembles also helped to launch the careers of many other well-known artists such as JJ Johnson, Kai Winding and Gerry Mulligan.
Davis's career spanned 50 years, during which he released seminal albums like First Miles, Kind of Blue and Someday My Prince Will Come.
Acclaimed Australian trumpeter James Morrison will perform with the ASO at the concerts, which take place at the Adelaide Entertainment Centre (AEC) on May 13th and 14th.
James Muller and Phillip Stack will play guitar and bass respectively, while Joe Muccioli has been lined up to conduct.
Both shows are scheduled to get underway at 20:00 local time.
Ticket prices start at AU$54.90 for adults, AU$49.90 for concessions and AU$20 for children.
The venue is located on the corner of Port Road and Adam Street. Tram rides from the city centre to the AEC are free.

Antidepressants linked to thicker arteries
2011-04-03
Antidepressant use has been linked to thicker arteries, possibly contributing to the risk of heart disease and stroke, in a study of twin veterans. The data is being presented Tuesday, April 5 at the American College of Cardiology meeting in New Orleans.
Depression can heighten the risk for heart disease, but the effect of antidepressant use revealed by the study is separate and independent from depression itself, says first author Amit Shah, MD, a cardiology fellow at Emory University School of Medicine. The data suggest that antidepressants may combine with depression ...

Hypothermia proves successful in younger cardiac patients too
2011-04-03
Young adult patients with genetic heart diseases, such as hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), substantially benefitted from therapeutic hypothermia, which could further extend the role for this treatment strategy in new patient populations, according to a scientific presentation at the American College of Cardiology (ACC) Scientific Sessions in New Orleans, April 1-3.
In patients with HCM, despite rapid cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) with defibrillation, survival following out-of-hospital cardiac arrest has been particularly unfavorable, explained the study authors. ...
Young black athletes with sickle cell trait might be susceptible to sudden death
2011-04-03
The sickle cell trait could be a cause—albeit rare—of sudden death in young African-American competitive athletes, most commonly during football training, according to a scientific poster that will be presented at the American College of Cardiology (ACC) Scientific Sessions, April 1-3, in New Orleans.
The sickle cell trait (SCT), which affects approximately 8 percent of African-Americans in the U.S., has been associated with sudden death in military recruits undergoing vigorous exercise. Due to the potential hypothesis that SCT may also cause sudden death in young highly ...
Scientists identify KRAS rearrangements in metastatic prostate cancer
2011-04-03
ORLANDO, Fla. — Scientists have uncovered a genetic characteristic of metastatic prostate cancer that defines a rare sub-type of this disease. These findings are published in Cancer Discovery, the newest journal of the American Association for Cancer Research, which will debut at the AACR 102nd Annual Meeting 2011, held April 2-6.
Arul M. Chinnaiyan, M.D., Ph.D., an investigator of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute and director of the Michigan Center for Translational Pathology, and colleagues identified an oncogenic gene fusion of KRAS, one of the most studied and ...
New target identified for squamous cell lung cancer
2011-04-03
ORLANDO, Fla. — Scientists at the Dana Farber Cancer Institute have identified a mutation in the DDR2 gene that may indicate which patients with squamous cell lung cancer will respond to dasatinib.
The findings are published in Cancer Discovery, the newest journal of the American Association for Cancer Research, debuting here at the AACR 102nd Annual Meeting 2011, from April 2-6.
According to lead researcher Matthew Meyerson, M.D., Ph.D., professor of pathology at the Dana Farber Cancer Institute, there are currently no targeted therapies for squamous cell lung cancer, ...
Immune system may guide chemotherapy for breast cancer

ORLANDO, Fla. — A study published in Cancer Discovery, the newest journal of the American Association for Cancer Research, debuting here at the AACR 102nd Annual Meeting 2011, held April 2-6, showed how evaluating the immune response in the tumor microenvironment may help researchers better target therapy in breast cancer.
Researchers at the University of California, San Francisco, demonstrated that the level of macrophages and CD8+ T-cells, two key components of the human immune system, can help predict recurrence and overall survival. New biologic-targeted therapies ...
Digoxin may be a possible treatment for prostate cancer
2011-04-03
ORLANDO, Fla. — Scientists have identified digoxin as a possible therapy for prostate cancer, using a combination of laboratory science and epidemiology that is unprecedented in its cooperative nature.
"Epidemiologists and basic scientists often do not understand each other, as we often are only clear on our own strengths and the other's weaknesses," said Elizabeth Platz, Sc.D., M.P.H, professor of epidemiology and the Martin D. Abeloff, M.D., scholar in cancer prevention at Johns Hopkins University.

Large Veterans Health Administration study shows 'last resort' antibiotics use on the rise
2011-04-03
Dallas, TX (April 3, 2011) – A large, multi-year study of antibiotic use in Veterans Health Administration's acute care facilities demonstrates dramatically increased use of carbapenems, a powerful class of antibiotics, over the last five years. These drugs are often considered the last treatment option for severe infections with multi-drug resistant pathogens. The increased carbapenem use, which has also been described in non-VA facilities in the US, is alarming because carbapenem-resistant bacteria are becoming more common. Overuse of these drugs could weaken their efficacy, ...
