SAN DIEGO, CA, April 26, 2011 (Press-News.org) In honor of National Infertility Awareness Week, "The Surrogacy Lawyer" Theresa M. Erickson, managing partner of Erickson Law and host of The Surrogacy Lawyer Radio Show on Voice America, announced her firm is offering free banner advertising on its radio show Website to the many infertility nonprofit organizations that offer support, advocacy and education to infertility patients.
National Infertility Awareness Week (NIAW) is being held this year from April 24-30 and is the only federally recognized week promoting education and awareness about the disease of infertility, which affects over seven million U.S. men and women. More information about NIAW can be found on the Website of RESOLVE: The National Infertility Association (www.resolve.org), which leads the week's awareness efforts. The Surrogacy Lawyer Radio Show: Your Guide to IVF and Third Party Family Building airs weekly on Thursdays at 11AM PST/2PM EST on the Voice America network. Hosted by Ms. Erickson, it explores infertility and family building from all angles, including the clinical, emotional, social, cultural and ethical perspectives and counts the Who's Who of the infertility field among its guests.
"There are numerous non-profit organizations that serve the infertility community by providing a variety of educational, financial, and support services, as well as advocating for better insurance coverage and policies for those struggling to have a baby," says Attorney Erickson. "We want to assist their work by offering free banner advertising and year-round awareness on The Surrogacy Lawyer Radio Website. This added exposure can hopefully introduce these organizations to more beneficiaries of their programs as well as to potential donors. We can't think of a better week than NIAW to introduce this concept."
Any non-profit organization that focuses on any aspect of infertility, assisted reproduction or family building is eligible to apply for the free advertising space. For more information, contact terickson@ericksonlaw.net.

Topical treatment may prevent melanoma
2011-04-26
While incidents of melanoma continue to increase despite the use of sunscreen and skin screenings, a topical compound called ISC-4 may prevent melanoma lesion formation, according to Penn State College of Medicine researchers.
"The steady increase in melanoma incidence suggests that additional preventive approaches are needed to complement these existing strategies," said Gavin Robertson, Ph.D., professor of pharmacology, pathology, dermatology and surgery, and director of Penn State Hershey Melanoma Center.
Researchers targeted the protein Akt3, which plays a central ...

A potential novel drug-target for colorectal cancer treatment comes from the brain
2011-04-26
Porto Alegre, Brazil- Tumor progression is usually ensured by more than one proliferative mechanism. When one of these is shut down by a specifically targeted drug, other mechanisms may emerge. While these events may lead to treatment failure, they may also become an opportunity for researchers to identify novel targets to be further explored. In a paper recently published in the journal Oncology ("BDNF/TrkB content and interaction with gastrin-releasing peptide receptor blockade in colorectal cancer," Vol. 79, pages 430-439, 2011; DOI: 10.1159/000326564) Roesler and colleagues ...
Brain imaging demonstrates that former smokers have greater willpower
2011-04-26
London - 26 April, 2011 – A study, completed by researchers from Trinity College and the Research Institute for a Tobacco Free Society, Dublin, Ireland, compares former smokers to current smokers, and obtains insight into how to quit smoking might be discovered by studying the brains of those who have successfully managed to do so.

Unique AED pads give hearts a second chance
2011-04-26
An invention by Rice University bioengineering students in collaboration with the Texas Heart Institute (THI) is geared toward giving immediate second chances to arrhythmia victims headed toward cardiac arrest.
For their capstone design project, a team of Rice seniors created a unique pad system for automated external defibrillators (AEDs), common devices that can shock a victim's heart back into a proper rhythm in an emergency.
Often, the first shock doesn't reset a heart and the procedure must be repeated, but the sticky pads on the chest must first be repositioned. ...

This month, in "Tracking Trace Elements and Isotopes in the Oceans," we follow up with Jacquot as he details the highs, lows and initial findings from the cruise, which was unfortunately cut short due to a ship malfunction.
Not to worry, scientists already have lots to share about ...

Vitamin D may help explain racial differences in blood pressure
2011-04-26
High blood pressure, or hypertension, is more common and often more deadly in blacks than in whites, and a new University of Rochester study shows that low vitamin D levels among black people might be a powerful factor that contributes to the racial differences in hypertension.
The University of Rochester Medical Center findings, published online today in the Journal of General Internal Medicine, are consistent with growing evidence that lower vitamin D status is associated with higher blood pressure, and that people with darker skin generally produce less vitamin D.
