Here are some little known facts about Dr. Sloss:
As a child, did you dream of becoming a physician?
My first dream career was to be an entomologist. Before I had made it to junior high, I had changed my mind to becoming a doctor. As a kid I thought it would be fascinating, and the idea stuck into adulthood.
Why did you choose Emergency Medicine?
EM has a little bit of everything and feeds perfectly into my ADD.
When you are not working a rigorous schedule in the ED, what do you do in your free time?
I just had a baby boy, so that's my primary hobby now. I'll have him playing video games with me in no time.
EMP is a values-based group that is focused on finding physicians who put patients first and will partner with a hospital to bring exceptional care to the community. EMP has helped many hospitals improve quality and service in their emergency department while becoming more profitable.

When cancer runs in the family
2011-05-29
5% to 10% of all breast cancers are monogenic in origin. In other words, there is a mutation of the genes BRCA1, BRCA2 or other high-risk genes. In this edition of Deutsches Ärzteblatt International (Dtsch Arztebl Int 2011; 108(19): 323 30), Alfons Meindl of the Klinikum rechts der Isar (Munich) and coauthors report on new insights into the pathogenesis and treatment of hereditary breast and ovarian cancer and newly-discovered risk genes.
Meindl et al. evaluated data including those derived from the work of the German Consortium for Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer. ...
Dogs in motion
2011-05-29
The reason being: "So far scientific studies were limited mostly to the movement of sick animals or to single aspects of locomotion", says Fischer, Professor of Systematic Zoology and Evolutionary Biology. To change this, Professor Fischer and his team started a comprehensive study about the locomotion of healthy dogs in 2006 and have now presented the results.

What fish is on your plate?
2011-05-29
Low-cost catfish fillets sold as expensive sole fillets or cod caught in the North Sea but declared as originating from the Baltic Sea are both examples of types of fraud in the fisheries sector. A European Commission report published today shows how molecular technologies - based on genetics, genomics, chemistry and forensics - can provide clear answers to questions such as "what species does this fish product come from….where was this fish caught….is it wild or farmed?". The report by the Commission's Joint Research Centre (JRC), is called "Deterring illegal activities ...
MDC researchers discover key molecule for stem cell pluripotency
2011-05-29
Researchers of the Max Delbrück Center for Molecular Medicine (MDC) Berlin-Buch have discovered what enables embryonic stem cells to differentiate into diverse cell types and thus to be pluripotent. This pluripotency depends on a specific molecule – E-cadherin – hitherto primarily known for its role in mediating cell-cell adhesion as a kind of "intracellular glue". If E-cadherin is absent, the stem cells lose their pluripotency. The molecule also plays a crucial role in the reprogramming of somatic cells (body cells) into pluripotent stem cells (EMBO Reports, advance online ...

Fraunhofer MEVIS: New procedure to make brain surgery safer
2011-05-29
Brain interventions must be planned so that the neurosurgeon can access and remove the tumor without causing unnecessary damage. Before the brain tumor can be removed, crucial questions must be answered. Where do the functional areas of the cortex (gray matter) of the patient lie? What are the paths of the nerve fiber tracts that connect them? Answering these questions is important because the functional areas of the brain are interconnected via nerve pathways, also known as nerve fiber tracts. These nerve tracts must be protected as much as possible; otherwise, permanent ...
