Coroners wrong to say no to post-mortem tissue collection, academics argue

2011-05-10
The creation of a post-mortem tissue archive for a study of the human form of mad cow disease failed because of a "misguided" refusal by coroners to participate. The Coroners' Society of England and Wales (CSEW) did not recognise its "moral obligation to protect public health" from potential new risks associated with variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (vCJD) when it decided not to allow the collection of tissue from autopsies. That is the conclusion of a paper co-written by a researcher at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine, which has been published online ...

Sexy clothes: Too much, too young

2011-05-10
Are clothing manufacturers helping to turn young girls into sex objects? According to a new study, up to 30 percent of young girls' clothing available online in the US is 'sexy' or sexualizing. The study was carried out by Samantha Goodin, a former Kenyon College (Ohio, USA) student and a research team led by Dr. Sarah Murnen, Professor of Psychology at Kenyon College. In their view, this has serious implications for how girls evaluate themselves according to a sexualized model of feminine physical attractiveness. It makes them confront the issue of sexual identity at a ...

NIH study describes fast, sensitive blood test for human prion disease

2011-05-10
WHAT: Scientists from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), report that they have developed a method—10,000 times more sensitive than other methods—to detect variant Creutzfeldt-Jacob disease (vCJD) in blood plasma. vCJD is a type of prion disease in humans that leads to brain damage and death. The NIAID researchers also used the test to rapidly detect scrapie, a prion disease of sheep, in infected hamsters, some pre-symptomatic. Prion diseases, also known as transmissible spongiform encephalopathies, ...

New test could give SLE patients a more tolerable life

2011-05-10
"At present, it can take up to a year before a patient is diagnosed with SLE. This is because the symptoms are diffuse and are often mistaken for other diseases. However, with this blood-based test, it is possible to determine quickly whether someone has the disease or not", says Christer Wingren, associate professor in Immunotechnology at CREATE Health, Lund University. The test can also determine how far the disease has progressed. There are three different variants of SLE, and all require different treatment. With current methods, it is often difficult to find out ...

Raging storms sweep away galactic gas

Raging storms sweep away galactic gas
2011-05-10
ESA's Herschel infrared space observatory has detected raging winds of molecular gas streaming away from galaxies. Suspected for years, these outflows may have the power to strip galaxies of gas and halt star formation in its tracks. The winds that Herschel has detected are extraordinary. The fastest is blowing at a speed of more than 1000 km/s, or about 10 000 times faster than the wind in a terrestrial hurricane. This is the first time that such molecular gas outflows have been unequivocally observed in a sample of galaxies. This is an important discovery because ...

Smokers undergo the same changes in gene expression as patients with COPD

Smokers undergo the same changes in gene expression as patients with COPD
2011-05-10
'Healthy' smokers experience changes in the gene expression of their lungs similar to that suffered by smokers who have developed Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). This is the conclusion of a new study, led by Catalan researchers, which confirms the crucial role that smoking plays in causing these alterations. "Our objective was to analyse the expression of a range of genes in the pulmonary tissue samples of patients with COPD, whether smokers or not, and people who had undergone operations for cancer or lung transplants", Ricardo Bastos, lead author of the ...

Statutory Rape Charge Reduced by Challenging Witness' Credibility

Statutory Rape Charge Reduced by Challenging Witness Credibility
2011-05-10
A Roberts Law Group PLLC client was facing a serious statutory rape charge when attorney Patrick Roberts stepped in to defend against the charge. By challenging the credibility of the accuser, criminal lawyer Roberts was able to negotiate a reduction in the statutory rape charge to indecent liberties with a minor. This reduction led to a decrease in the amount of possible prison time from nearly 25 years to 10 to 12 months. The facts of the case aren't all that uncommon in North Carolina because many don't realize the consequences stemming from sex with a minor. In this ...

Post-traumatic stress disorder common following significant orthopedic trauma

2011-05-10
Although most commonly associated with military combat, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) can occur in civilians, too – and with consequences that are just as serious, according to a new review article in the Journal of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (JAAOS). PTSD is a type of anxiety disorder that occurs after a person experiences a traumatic event involving physical injury, and occurs in 20 to 51 percent of patients with an orthopaedic injury. "PTSD occurs with a significant frequency in civilian patients who have sustained an orthopaedic trauma, and ...
