Important Items to Carry in Your Car

Being stranded in your car in colder weather, remote territory or the dead of night is a serious inconvenience. You can avoid letting it become a serious danger, too, by keeping a few select supplies in your car.

SCOTTSDALE, AZ, June 06, 2011 (Press-News.org) Being stranded in your car in colder weather, remote territory or the dead of night is a serious inconvenience. You can avoid letting it become a serious danger, too, by keeping a few select supplies in your car.

Below is a list of items that could save the day in case of emergency:

First aid kit: Without proper first aid when you or a passenger has been hurt, most of the other items on this list will not be much help. The most important thing to do after a breakdown or car accident is to make sure everyone is safe.

Blanket: Even if you live in a warmer climate like Arizona, it can get chilly at night. In addition, a blanket can be useful for preventing shock to an injury victim, putting out a fire or enjoying a spur-of-the-moment picnic.

Food and water: Dense foods like trail mix and energy bars keep well and are small enough to be ignored until they are needed. Water is important to have in case you are stranded and thirsty, but it can also come in handy for a first-aid situation or an overheated engine.

Jumper cables: Booster cables can be used to revive your car's drained battery. Of course, you'll need someone else with a vehicle to provide the "juice."

Jack and spare tire: Even if you don't know how to change a tire, your owner's manual will tell you. And if the owner's manual isn't helpful, a kind stranger may be able to assist you -- if you have the right equipment.

Tire pressure gauge: Keeping tabs on your tire pressure can prevent a blowout in the first place.

Shovel: Whether it's snow or mud that swallows your car's tires, you will be grateful that you thought to keep a small shovel in your car.

Car accident kit: A car accident kit typically contains instructions on how to document an accident, a disposable camera, a pen, a flashlight (with extra batteries), and bandages. You can purchase a kit or put it together yourself.

Insurance papers: If you're in an accident, you'll want to have your auto insurance information nearby. In addition, some insurance companies provide roadside assistance. The pertinent information should be stored in your glove compartment.

Cash: Keeping a small wad of cash in your car can be a real lifesaver. Whether it's for cab fare when your car breaks down or an emergency Snickers bar when you've left your wallet at home, you'll be glad it's there. Just be sure to replace it after you impulsively stuff it into a bell-ringer's bucket at Christmastime.

Although this list is not exhaustive, it's a good start toward making your vehicle a safer place to be in case it breaks down when you least expect it.

Lawrence Snyder was 12 years ...

Genetics of melanoma chemoresistance

2011-06-06
Malignant melanoma is a highly aggressive and notoriously chemoresistant form of cancer. In this paper, Ohanna et al. reveal that anti-melanoma drugs may, paradoxically, induce a senescence-associated secretory profile ("secretome") that can ultimately promote metastasis and contribute to melanoma relapse. While cellular senescence has been thought of as a natural mechanism to combat uncontrolled cell growth, or cancer, recent studies have shown that some cell types express a secretome during senescence that alters the tumor microenvironment and affects the cell's response ...

ALPHA stores antimatter atoms for over a quarter of an hour -- and still counting

ALPHA stores antimatter atoms for over a quarter of an hour -- and still counting
2011-06-06
The ALPHA Collaboration, an international team of scientists working at CERN in Geneva, Switzerland, has created and stored a total of 309 antihydrogen atoms, some for up to 1,000 seconds (almost 17 minutes), with an indication of much longer storage time as well. ALPHA announced in November, 2010, that they had succeeded in storing antimatter atoms for the first time ever, having captured 38 atoms of antihydrogen and storing each for a sixth of a second. In the weeks following, ALPHA continued to collect anti-atoms and hold them for longer and longer times. Scientists ...

Stem cell treatment may offer option for broken bones that don't heal

2011-06-06
(Embargoed) CHAPEL HILL, N.C. – Researchers at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Medicine have shown in an animal study that transplantation of adult stem cells enriched with a bone-regenerating hormone can help mend bone fractures that are not healing properly. The UNC study team led by Anna Spagnoli, MD, associate professor of pediatrics and biomedical engineering, demonstrated that stem cells manufactured with the regenerative hormone insulin-like growth factor (IGF-I) become bone cells and also help the cells within broken bones repair the ...

Early light refines the brain's circuitry for vision

2011-06-06
PROVIDENCE, R.I. [Brown University] — Any parent knows that newborns still have a lot of neurological work to do to attain fully acute vision. In a wide variety of nascent animals, genes provide them with only a rough wiring plan and then leave it to the developing nervous system to do its own finish work. Two studies by Brown University researchers provide new evidence of a role for exposure to light in the environment as mouse pups and tadpoles organize and refine the circuitry of their vision systems. "Through a combination of light-independent and light-dependent ...

Indiana University neuroscientists map a new target to wipe pain away

Indiana University neuroscientists map a new target to wipe pain away
2011-06-06
INDIANAPOLIS – Researchers at the Indiana University School of Medicine have discovered a peptide that short circuits a pathway for chronic pain. Unlike current treatments this peptide does not exhibit deleterious side effects such as reduced motor coordination, memory loss, or depression, according to an article in Nature Medicine posted online June 5, 2011. The peptide, CBD3, has been shown in mice to interfere with signals that navigate calcium channels to produce pain. Unlike other substances that block pain signals, CBD3 does not directly inhibit the influx of calcium. ...

Scientists use super microscope to pinpoint body’s immunity 'switch'

2011-06-06
Using the only microscope of its kind in Australia, medical scientists have been able for the first time to see the inner workings of T-cells, the front-line troops that alert our immune system to go on the defensive against germs and other invaders in our bloodstream. The discovery overturns prevailing understanding, identifying the exact molecular 'switch' that spurs T-cells into action — a breakthrough that could lead to treatments for a range of conditions from auto-immune diseases to cancer. The findings, by researchers at the University of New South Wales (UNSW), ...

CERN group traps antihydrogen atoms for more than 16 minutes

2011-06-06
Berkeley — Trapping antihydrogen atoms at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) has become so routine that physicists are confident that they can soon begin experiments on this rare antimatter equivalent of the hydrogen atom, according to researchers at the University of California, Berkeley. "We've trapped antihydrogen atoms for as long as 1,000 seconds, which is forever" in the world of high-energy particle physics, said Joel Fajans, UC Berkeley professor of physics, faculty scientist at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and a member of the ALPHA ...
