2011-04-06

SEVIERVILLE, TN, April 05, 2011 (Press-News.org) The long awaited collection of fiction, From Damaged to Broken, includes both short fiction and flash fiction. This collection of short stories is best described by the author herself as "...sometimes melancholy, sometimes dark, but humorous and often detailed vividly... Different looks at life from the characters that showed up to tell their story." These voyeuristic glimpses into the lives of different characters offer a wide variety of fictional storytelling but the main consistency is the ability to grab the reader and keep them hooked to the very end.

The author, Bari.Ann Kyle, has been published in both fiction and non-fiction genres and has won awards for short fiction, which is her true passion. In addition to writing stories, articles, blogs, travel writing and copywriting, Bari is actively involved as a contributor and reviewer on the website Zoetrope and currently is developing her website Flash Fiction Review. Also an avid photographer, the cover art for her book is one of her own works. Samples of her writing and photography will available soon on her website BariKyle.com.

From Damaged to Broken is currently available through Amazon in both paperback or downloadable Kindle versions at http://www.amazon.com/dp/1456491822/ref=cm_sw_r_fa_dp_f1mGnb1QQGJ58

Getting to the root of fatty liver disease

2011-04-06

Researchers have identified a molecular switch that appears to be a common feature in the development of fatty liver disease. The discovery made in mice is consistent with data from human patients, suggesting that it may provide an underlying explanation for the development of fatty liver in people with obesity and metabolic syndrome. The culprit is the reduced concentration of a little-known transcriptional co-factor known as transducin beta-like (TBL) 1, according to the report in the April issue of Cell Metabolism, a Cell Press publication. "We haven't entirely ...

Modern targeted drug plus old malaria pill serve a 1-2 punch in advanced cancer patients

2011-04-06

ORLANDO -- Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine may have found a way to turn an adaptive cellular response into a liability for cancer cells. When normal cells are starved for food, they chew up existing proteins and membranes to stay alive. Cancer cells have corrupted that process, called autophagy, using it to survive when they run out of nutrients and to evade death after damage from chemotherapy and other sources. When the Penn investigators treated a group of patients with several different types of advanced cancers with temsirolimus, a ...

Rapid City, SD is making a major league effort to bring new visitors to the Black Hills this summer. Starting April 3rd, the Convention & Visitors Bureau is partnering with the Colorado Rockies to promote Rapid City during 13 games this baseball season. "Every time the Rockies host a Sunday game at Coors Field in Denver, more than 40,000 people will hear an invitation to visit Mount Rushmore and Rapid City," says Michelle Lintz, executive director of the Rapid City Convention & Visitors Bureau.

Obesity increases the risk of fetal and infant death, and the risk of complications after hysterectomy

2011-04-06

Women who are obese during early pregnancy have a significantly increased risk of their baby dying before, during or up to one year after birth, according to research published in Europe's leading reproductive medicine journal Human Reproduction today [1]. A second paper [2] also published in the journal today shows that obesity increases the risk of complications, such as bleeding and infections, during and after a hysterectomy operation. In the first paper, researchers from Newcastle University, UK, studied 40,932 pregnancies involving deliveries of single babies during ...

Huntington's disease protein has broader effects on brain, study shows

2011-04-06

In Huntington's disease, the mutant protein known as huntingtin leads to the degeneration of a part of the brain known as the basal ganglia, causing the motor disturbances that represent one of the most defining features of the fatal disease. But a new study reported in the April issue of Cell Metabolism, a Cell Press publication, shows that the mutant protein also is responsible for metabolic imbalances in the hypothalamus, a brain region that plays an important role in appetite control. "This helps to explain metabolic changes and increases in appetite that have been ...

UMI Medical Waste Management Capabilities Animated with Flash-Free iPad 2 Accessible Web 3.0 Design by Miami Web Designer

2011-04-06

According to Cambridge Consultants, every day America's hospitals, clinics, nursing homes, laboratories, funeral homes, physicians, dentists, veterinarians, tattoo parlors and other sources of infectious biomedical materials and "sharps" (i.e. used needles, lancets and other devices capable of penetrating skin) produce at least 66,000 tons of medical waste. In Florida alone, United Medical Industries ("UMI") Vice President Marlene Yero estimates there are more than 40,000 such medical waste generators, all of whom are required by law to adhere to stringent biomedical waste ...

Nanoparticles improve solar collection efficiency

2011-04-06

Washington, D.C. (April 5, 2011) -- Using minute graphite particles 1000 times smaller than the width of a human hair, mechanical engineers at Arizona State University hope to boost the efficiency—and profitability—of solar power plants. Photovoltaic (PV) solar panels are popping up more and more on rooftops, but they're not necessarily the best solar power solution. "The big limitation of PV panels is that they can use only a fraction of the sunlight that hits them, and the rest just turns into heat, which actually hurts the performance of the panels," explains Robert ...

Cellular feast or famine

2011-04-06

ORLANDO, Fla., April 5, 2011 – Not all cholesterol is bad. Every cell requires it for growth – they either have to get cholesterol somewhere or they die. In a new study published April 6 in the journal Cell Metabolism, researchers from Sanford-Burnham Medical Research Institute (Sanford-Burnham) and their collaborators found that a protein sensor known to balance cholesterol sources can also access a previously underappreciated cellular fat storage depot. The sensor, called sterol regulatory element-binding protein 2 (SREBP-2), monitors cellular cholesterol levels and ...

WATER PIPE SMOKING AS HARMFUL AS CIGARETTE SMOKING Two new studies confirm the serious health effects caused by water pipe smoking (WPS), including reduced lung function and other cardiorespiratory conditions. In one study, researchers from the State University of New York at Buffalo found that, compared with people who do not smoke, WPS was associated with a significant reduction in lung function, equivalent to cigarette smoking. In a second study, Israeli researchers found that during a single 30-minute smoking session, WPS was associated with an increase in blood pressure, ...
