2011-05-04

MANCHESTER, ENGLAND, May 04, 2011 (Press-News.org) The Mediterranean yachting season will get underway in style on Tuesday May 24th, when the 2011 Rolex Capri Sailing Week begins.

Known for bringing an impressive fleet of boats to the famous waters of the Bay of Naples, the event celebrates its seventh anniversary this year.

However, a significant addition has been made to the programme for the latest edition of the regatta - the inaugural Rolex Volcano Race.

This 400-mile offshore challenge is open to all maxi yachts upwards of 18 metres and will attract a range of competitors from Spain, Portugal, France, Italy and the UK.

As usual, there will also be four days of inshore competition for yachts in a variety of classes - Swans, Oysters, Mylius, Comets and X-41s.

Holidaymakers spending time in Naples may like to visit Capri, a popular island resort that can be reached from the mainland by ferry and hydrofoil, to see the participating yachts sailing past.

Famed for its natural beauty and mild climate, Capri was a favourite leisure spot for many Roman emperors.

Yacht enthusiasts will find a wide variety of Naples hotels at LateRooms.com, which recommends the Grand Hotel Parkers Naples.

KLAS Report: Hospitals Confirm Anesthesia Information Management Systems Provide Increased Efficiency, Earlier Billing, and Improved Data Mining

2011-05-04

Healthcare initiatives such as Meaningful Use have diverted resources to focus on hospital-wide applications, such as EMRs. This focus on an electronic culture also is pushing interest toward departmental systems, including anesthesia documentation. In a new research report titled "Anesthesia Study 2011: Part of a Growing Electronic Culture," KLAS investigates the challenges and benefits of an anesthesia information management system (AIMS), as well as the ten most talked about AIMS vendors. "Though historically slow to develop, the AIMS market is experiencing ...

Why the eye is better than a camera at capturing contrast and faint detail simultaneously

2011-05-04

The human eye long ago solved a problem common to both digital and film cameras: how to get good contrast in an image while also capturing faint detail. Nearly 50 years ago, physiologists described the retina's tricks for improving contrast and sharpening edges, but new experiments by University of California, Berkeley, neurobiologists show how the eye achieves this without sacrificing shadow detail. "One of the big success stories, and the first example of information processing by the nervous system, was the discovery that the nerve cells in the eye inhibit their ...

Simple exercise improves lung function in children with CF

2011-05-04

A small Johns Hopkins Children's Center study of children and teens with cystic fibrosis (CF) shows that simple exercise, individually tailored to each patient's preference and lifestyle, can help improve lung function and overall fitness. Frequent lung infections, breathing problems and decreased lung function are the hallmark symptoms of CF, a genetic disorder marked by a disruption in the body's ability to transport chloride in and out of cells that leads to the buildup of thick mucus in the lungs and other organs. Because rigidly structured high-intensity exercise ...

Altruism, the sacrificing of individual ...

Rate of coronary artery bypass graft surgeries decreases substantially

2011-05-04

Between 2001 and 2008, the annual rate of coronary artery bypass graft surgeries performed in the United States decreased by more than 30 percent, but rates of percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI; procedures such as balloon angioplasty or stent placement used to open narrowed coronary arteries) did not change significantly, according to a study in the May 4 issue of JAMA. "Coronary revascularization, comprising coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery and PCI, is among the most common major medical procedures provided by the U.S. health care system, with more ...

Unlocking the metabolic secrets of the microbiome

2011-05-04

The number of bacterial cells living in and on our bodies outnumbers our own cells ten to one. But the identity of all those bugs and just what exactly our relationship to all of them really is remains rather fuzzy. Now, researchers reporting in the May issue of Cell Metabolism, a Cell Press publication, have new evidence showing the metabolic impact of all those microbes in mice, and on their colons in particular. "We point out one relatively general metabolite in the colon that has profound effects—it does a lot to keep things running smoothly," said Scott Bultman ...

Study evaluates relationship of urinary sodium with health outcomes

2011-05-04

In a study conducted to examine the health outcomes related to salt intake, as gauged by the amount of sodium excreted in the urine, lower sodium excretion was associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular death, while higher sodium excretion did not correspond with increased risk of hypertension or cardiovascular disease complications, according to a study in the May 4 issue of JAMA. "Extrapolations from observational studies and short-term intervention trials suggest that population-wide moderation of salt intake might reduce cardiovascular events," according ...
