Entrepreneurship urged to stimulate the economy
2011-04-24
(Press-News.org) Los Angeles, CA (APRIL XX, 2011) Economists have been pointing to the growth in entrepreneurship and small business hiring as two ways the US economy can speed the recovery process. In his first ever Facebook town hall meeting, President Obama expanded upon this search for economic solutions as part of the White House's "Startup America" initiative.
Recent articles show that researchers not only support these notions, but also break them down for the nation and the world. Current entrepreneurial scholarship offers studies that provide avenues for future research and potential implications for economic development policy. Recently published articles cover such topics as immigrants in high-tech start-ups, lessons in entrepreneurial decision-marking, and more.

Patients on peritoneal dialysis (PD) typically have a higher early survival rate than patients on hemodialysis (HD). New data suggest that this difference may be explained by a higher risk of early deaths among patients undergoing HD with central venous catheters, according to a study appearing in an upcoming issue of the Journal of the American Society of Nephrology (JASN).
In a study that included more than 38,500 Canadian patients starting dialysis between 2001 and 2008, 63 percent started hemodialysis using a central catheter placed into one of the large veins. Seventeen ...

Now, scientists at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies have uncovered an important clue to one of the mechanisms underlying cancer cell immortality.
Their findings, published in the April 22, 2011 issue of Molecular Cell, reveal an unanticipated structure at chromosome ends, which could be a key ingredient in the biological "elixir of life," potentially making ...
