Development of protocols for future disasters urgently called for

2011-04-07

New Orleans, LA – Dr. Howard Osofsky, Professor and Chair of Psychiatry at LSU Health Sciences Center New Orleans School of Medicine, is an author of a review article published in the April 7, 2011 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine that urgently calls for the development of protocols to deal with the health effects of disasters – before the next one occurs. One year after the largest and most devastating oil spill in United States history, the magnitude of the impact of the Deepwater Horizon Gulf Oil Spill on human health, the environment, and the economy remains ...

Research into batteries will give electric cars the same range as petrol cars

2011-04-07

Li-air batteries are a promising opportunity for electric cars. "If we succeed in developing this technology, we are facing the ultimate breakthrough for electric cars, because in practice, the energy density of Li-air batteries will be comparable to that of petrol and diesel, if you take into account that a combustion engine only has an efficiency of around 30 percent," says Tejs Vegge, senior scientist in the Materials Research Division at Risø DTU. If batteries with an energy density this great become a reality, one could easily imagine electrically powered trucks. The ...

Minimize Foodservice Equipment Downtime and Increase Productivity by Improving the Water Quality

2011-04-07

Scheduled or unexpected equipment downtime results in lost revenue, especially if this occurs during peak hours of operation. A failed solenoid on an ice machine can shut the system down completely. De-liming a steam oven takes time--often 2-3 hours--and can require the use of harsh chemicals. If this job is outsourced, it can cost up to $75.00 or more per hour per deliming, plus scheduling arrangements and dealing with equipment that is out of commission during the cleaning. The technical service personnel of equipment manufacturers have found that most equipment problems ...

Research identifies on-off switch for key 'factor' in heart disease and cancer

2011-04-07

Scientists at the University of Hull have identified a cellular 'on-off' switch that may have implications for treating cardiovascular disease and cancer. The team has found the mechanism which controls the inclusion of a protein called tissue factor into endothelial microparticles, tiny vesicles which are released from cells in the lining of blood vessels. "Although tissue factor is part of the body's natural healing process, helping create clots to stop bleeding and repair injuries, high levels circulating in the blood stream can be harmful," says lead researcher ...

Fatty liver -- how a serious problem arises

2011-04-07

Excess fat around the hips and belly may not really be compatible with current beauty ideals, but, to a certain degree, it is a normal, even vital energy store of our body. However, it is a different matter if the organism stores fat in organs such as the liver, pancreas or muscles. This is a clear sign of a metabolic disorder. Up to 80 percent of obese people develop fatty liver disease, which is regarded a typical characteristic of the dangerous metabolic syndrome. Deposition of fat in the liver may lead to chronic liver inflammation and even to liver cancer. In addition, ...

Karlsruhe Institute of Technology: Third dimension of specific cell cultivation

2011-04-07

At Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), researchers of the DFG Center for Functional Nanostructures (CFN) succeeded in specifically cultivating cells on three-dimensional structures. The fascinating thing is that the cells are offered small "holds" in the micrometer range on the scaffold, to which they can adhere. Adhesion is possible to these holds only, not to the remaining structure. For the first time, cell adhesion and, hence, cell shape are influenced precisely in three dimensions. The team headed by Professor Martin Bastmeyer thus has achieved big progress in ...

Older age memory loss tied to stress hormone receptor in brain

2011-04-07

Scientists have shed new light on how older people may lose their memory with a development that could aid research into treatments for age-related memory disorders. Many believe that stress is bad for our brains especially as we get older. Now researchers have shown how two receptors in older brains react to a stress hormone called cortisol, which has been linked to increasing forgetfulness as we age. The study, by the University of Edinburgh, found that one receptor was activated by low levels of cortisol, which helped memory. However, once levels of this stress ...

Researchers develop golden window electrodes for organic solar cells

2011-04-07

Researchers at the University of Warwick have developed a gold plated window as the transparent electrode for organic solar cells. Contrary to what one might expect, these electrodes have the potential to be relatively cheap since the thickness of gold used is only 8 billionths of a metre. This ultra-low thickness means that even at the current high gold price the cost of the gold needed to fabricate one square metre of this electrode is only around £4.5. It can also be readily recouped from the organic solar cell at the end of its life and since gold is already widely ...

Long-term users of ecstasy risk structural brain damage

2011-04-07

Long term users of the popular recreational drug ecstasy (MDMA) risk structural brain damage, suggests preliminary research published online in the Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery and Psychiatry. Other research has suggested that people who use ecstasy develop significant memory problems, so the Dutch researchers wanted to find out if there was any clinical evidence of structural changes in the brain to back this up. They focused on the hippocampus, which is the area of the brain responsible for long term memory. They measured the volume of the hippocampus using ...

Four Out of Five Community Hospitals Pin HITECH Hopes on Current Electronic Medical Records

2011-04-07

Electronic medical records (EMRs) are garnering deeper use in the community hospital scene, and nearly all have been certified HITECH-ready by an official certification body. Nevertheless, a fifth of these hospitals plan to switch EMR products within the next couple of years -- even this close to meaningful use (MU) deadlines -- according to a new report by KLAS. For the new report, "Community Hospital EMRs Maturing for Meaningful Use," KLAS interviewed more than 500 healthcare professionals about their experience with various EMR systems. Of respondents, 80 percent ...
