BEVERLY HILLS, CA, April 15, 2011 (Press-News.org) The man behind the leading medical hub for hand and wrist related procedures and treatments, the Hand and Wrist Institute, Dr. John T. Knight is to appear in television's leading medical-related shows: The Doctors. Dr. Knight's appearance on the show would require him to talk about joint replacement, primarily in the hands and wrists, to give the television show's viewers an overview of how things really work; how doctors perform joint replacement procedures; and the symptoms, signs, and other important information to keep the viewing public informed.
Aside from being the person who oversees the Hand and Wrist Institute at DISC, Dr. John T. Knight has a quite an impressive track record. First of all, he is a board certified Orthopedic Surgeon, was fellowship trained, and has a Certificate of Added Qualifications in Surgery of the Hand and Hand Surgery LA. This makes him more than qualified to be an expert on hand and wrist related problems.
In fact, Dr. Knight is one of the most prominent hand and wrist specialists in the medical industry. He is known all around the country for specializing in innovative procedures like minimally invasive techniques to keep the hands, wrists, and upper extremities at the pink of health. He is also one of the most renowned experts in advanced wrist arthroscopic procedures and carpal tunnel release surgeries that are endoscopic and stitch-less. He has performed at least fifteen thousand procedures throughout his lifetime and has more than twenty years of experience under his belt.
This makes him a perfect fit for the television show: The Doctors. This television show is a medical/talk show that focuses on providing medical advice, medical help, and medical information to the general viewing public. The show is hosted by four well respected and well rounded medical experts. The first host is Dr. Travis Stork, an emergency room physician who gained a certain degree of popularity for joining The Bachelor. Dr. Stork has a Vanderbilt University education and is quite renowned for his medical merits. His wit, charms, and good looks make him the perfect anchor for the television program. He is joined by a pediatrician, the charismatic Dr. Jim Sears; the humorous plastic surgeon Dr. Andrew Ordon; and the sexy gynecologist, Dr. Lisa Masterson. This group of medical experts break the medical terms down so that the common man may understand the concepts and make better medical decisions whenever they have to. The four hosts score high in relatability as they remain candid for most part of the show. This makes The Doctors a success in the United States and even in countries as far as Sweden, Finland, and the Philippines.
The participation of Dr. Knight on the show for one segment seems like a natural occurrence as the charismatic doctor seems to fit right in with the group. Also, this will give him an opportunity to shine some light on one of the most in-demand procedures in his clinic: Joint Replacement.

Genes that control 'aging' steroid identified
2011-04-15
Eight genes which control levels of the main steroid produced by the adrenal gland, believed to play a role in ageing and longevity, have been uncovered by an international consortium of scientists, co-led by King's College London.
Crucially, some of these eight genetic regions are also associated with important diseases of ageing, including type 2 diabetes and lymphoma. Researchers say that these findings, published in the journal PLoS Genetics today, provide the first genetic evidence for the ageing role of the steroid, and therefore highlights it as a marker of biological ...

New spin on graphene
2011-04-15
A team led by Professor Andre Geim, a recipient of the 2010 Nobel Prize for graphene, can now show that electric current – a flow of electrons – can magnetise graphene.
The results, reported in Science, could be a potentially huge breakthrough in the field of spintronics.
Spintronics is a group of emerging technologies that exploit the intrinsic spin of the electron, in addition to its fundamental electric charge that is exploited in microelectronics.
Billions of spintronics devices such as sensors and memories are already being produced. Every hard disk drive ...
Researchers gain new clues about how to prevent aortic aneurysm in patients with Marfan syndrome
2011-04-15
Five years ago, patients with Marfan syndrome received new hope when laboratory studies suggested that losartan, an FDA-approved drug used to treat high blood pressure, might prevent the potentially deadly enlargement of the aorta that the syndrome can cause. Now, researchers have a clearer picture of the cellular signals that contribute to progression of aortic aneurysm in Marfan syndrome and how losartan alters those signals. The new information is expected to help guide treatment decisions, as well as efforts to develop therapies that might offer benefits that losartan ...

The Johns Hopkins researchers who first showed that the commonly used blood pressure drug losartan may help prevent life-threatening aneurysms of the aorta in patients with Marfan syndrome have now discovered new clues about the precise mechanism behind the drug's protective effects.
The team's findings not only answer many lingering questions — including how exactly the drug works and whether other classes of blood-pressure medication may work as well as or better than losartan — but also identify new targets for treating Marfan and other connective-tissue disorders. ...

UCSF team describes neurological basis for embarrassment
2011-04-15
Recording people belting out an old Motown tune and then asking them to listen to their own singing without the accompanying music seems like an unusually cruel form of punishment. But for a team of scientists at the University of California, San Francisco and University of California, Berkeley, this exact Karaoke experiment has revealed what part of the brain is essential for embarrassment.
The twist to the experiment was that most of the subjects had neurodegenerative diseases, which helped scientists identify a thumb-sized bit of tissue in the right hemisphere of the ...
A chance discovery may revolutionize hydrogen production
2011-04-15
Producing hydrogen in a sustainable way is a challenge and production cost is too high. A team led by EPFL Professor Xile Hu has discovered that a molybdenum based catalyst is produced at room temperature, inexpensive and efficient. The results of the research are published online in Chemical Science Thursday the 14th of April. An international patent based on this discovery has just been filled.
Existing in large quantities on Earth, water is composed of hydrogen and oxygen. It can be broken down by applying an electrical current; this is the process known as electrolysis. ...
Twitter and Facebook Marketing - Are African Businesses Cashing in on Free Advertising? With African Business Review
2011-04-15
There's no denying that social media, by many once considered a here-today-gone-tomorrow fad, is a key arrow in a marketer's quiver. It's word of mouth on steroids and free, right? Or not.
Social media experts in Kenya and South Africa warn companies not to view social media marketing, on platforms such as Facebook and Twitter, as free. Yes, these platforms are umpteen times more cost-effective that traditional advertising such as TV or print, but do need time, money and strategic thought to be effective.
"Although putting content onto Facebook using fan pages is ...
