SAN LUIS OBISPO, CA, April 07, 2011 (Press-News.org) Pacific Eye (www.paceyemd.com), the premier ophthalmology practice that provides optometry services in San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara counties, continues to support the communities it serves with its sponsorship of the SLO Symphony's 50th anniversary season.
Pacific Eye is known for providing comprehensive vision care services, including routine eye care, cataract surgery, and refractive surgical procedures including IntraLase LASIK in San Luis Obispo. In addition to their professional services, the practice is devoted to supporting their community.

In 2009, the practice was nominated for the San Luis Obispo Chamber of Commerce Green Award. And now, by sponsoring the SLO Symphony's 50th Anniversary, they continue to give back to the Central Coast by supporting the arts.
"We want to foster a healthy community," says Dr. Adam D. Abroms, an ophthalmologist at the practice. "And part of that goal is supporting the arts. The San Luis Obispo Symphony has been providing local musicians a place to learn and grow for 5 decades, but it's also been giving the entire Central Coast an opportunity to hear first-rate musical performances. Sponsoring their 50th Anniversary is Pacific Eye's way of thanking them for that."
With 7 locations along the Central Coast, Pacific Eye is recognized as the premier eye care group in the area. Vision care services offered at the practice include:
- Custom cataract surgery featuring the latest advanced implants such as Restor , ReZoom and Crystalens
- Pioneers in the area's only stationary IntraLase LASIK
- The latest treatments and surgery for macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, eye misalignment, and other diseases of the eye
- Pediatric eye care
- Many other sophisticated diagnostic and therapeutic procedures
"To give back to our community - whether that's our local community here on the Central Coast or our global community - gives the doctors and staff at Pacific Eye a real sense of purpose," adds Dr. Rupert C. Chowins, an optometrist in San Luis Obispo who has travelled internationally to provide eye care for underserved communities in Central and South America.
With a team of doctors practicing in 7 locations, the Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo County ophthalmology and optometry practice of Pacific Eye (www.paceyemd.com) is committed to providing top level eye care to patients. The mission of the practice is to care for patients' vision throughout their lives, providing ethical, medical and surgical eye care at the most advanced level, while investing in its employees and promoting the health of the communities it serves.

New study solidifies role of DISC1 in risk for schizophrenia and other mental illness
2011-04-07
Johns Hopkins researchers report the discovery of a molecular switch that regulates the behavior of a protein that, when altered, is already known to increase human susceptibility to schizophrenia and mood disorders.
The findings, published online in the journal Nature, expand the possibility of creating biomarkers that can better diagnose those with mental illnesses and track their treatment.
Building on previous studies at Hopkins, the new research further offers clues to why the Disrupted In Schizophrenia gene (DISC1) and its protein product plays so many distinct ...
Brain development switch could affect schizophrenia, other conditions
2011-04-07
DURHAM, N.C. – An international team of scientists lead by researchers from Duke University and Johns Hopkins University have discovered a key "switch" in the brain that allows neurons to stop dividing so that these cells can migrate toward their final destinations in the brain.
The finding may be relevant to making early identification of people who go on to develop schizophrenia and other brain disorders.
"This work sheds light on what has been a big black box in neuroscience," said Nicholas Katsanis, Ph.D., co-senior author of the work and Jean and George Brumley ...
Human taste cells regenerate in a dish
2011-04-07
PHILADELPHIA (April 6, 2011) – Following years of futile attempts, new research from the Monell Center demonstrates that living human taste cells can be maintained in culture for at least seven months. The findings provide scientists with a valuable tool to learn about the human sense of taste and how it functions in health and disease.
This advance ultimately will assist efforts to prevent and treat taste loss or impairment due to infection, radiation, chemotherapy and chemical exposures.
"People who undergo chemotherapy or radiation therapy for oral cancer often ...
Body mass index in adolescence associated with early occurrence of diabetes and heart disease
2011-04-07
Boston, MA - A new 17 year follow-up study of 37,000 Israeli teenagers found that diabetes risk is mainly associated with increased body mass index (BMI) close to the time of diagnosis at early adulthood, while coronary heart disease risk is associated with elevated BMI both at adolescence and adulthood. The findings are published in the April 7 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine.
Lead study author, Amir Tirosh, MD PhD, of the Endocrine Division at Brigham and Women's Hospital said, "The study suggests that the obesity problem in children and teens is likely ...
Progesterone reduces rate of early preterm birth in at-risk women
2011-04-07
A National Institutes of Health study has found that progesterone, a naturally occurring hormone, reduced the rate of preterm birth before the 33rd week of pregnancy by 45 percent among one category of at risk women.
The women in the study had a short cervix, which is known to increase the risk for preterm birth. The cervix is the part of the uterus that opens and shortens during labor.
The study also found that infants born to women who had received progesterone were less likely to develop respiratory distress syndrome, a breathing complication occurring in preterm ...
Some diabetes drugs are better than others, according to new study
2011-04-07
New research suggests that several commonly prescribed drugs for type 2 diabetes may not be as effective at preventing death and cardiovascular diseases, such as heart attacks and stroke, as the oral anti-diabetic drug, metformin.
Insulin secretagogues (ISs), such as glimepiride, glibenclamide (known as glyburide in the USA and Canada), gliclazide and tolbutamide, have been used to treat type 2 diabetes since the 1950-1970s, Nevertheless, the long-term risk associated with these drugs has largely been unknown. Metformin is the first drug of choice in type 2 diabetes, ...

Female deer confirm bigger is not always better when choosing a mate
2011-04-07
Female deer do not always choose the bigger and dominant males to mate with, scientists from Queen Mary, University of London and Hartpury College have found.
The research, which was undertaken in Dublin's Phoenix Park on a herd of fallow deer, focussed on females who chose not to mate with the 'top' males.
The study, published today (6 April) in PLoS ONE found that yearling females tended to mate with a higher proportion of younger, lower ranking males while older females actively avoided mating with them.
Alan McElligott, co-author on the study from Queen Mary, ...
