EDMONDS, WA, July 08, 2011 (Press-News.org) Edmonds Woodway Dental Care will open the practice to those who cannot afford regular dental care during their Third Annual Day of Caring on Saturday, July 30. Free dental service will be offered from 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Edmonds Woodway Dental Care, 21810 76th Avenue West, Suite 102, in Edmonds, Washington.
"The Day of Caring has proven to be a great way to help take care of our neighbors," said Dr. Michael Hrankowski. Last year, doctors provided treatment to 37 people on the Day of Caring.
Dr. Hrankowski said treatment would be offered on a first come, first served basis, with priority given to people in pain or with infections.
"To accommodate as many people as possible, we will provide only procedures that can be accomplished in one appointment and there is a limit of one procedure per person," Dr. Hrankowski said. He noted the types of procedures that can be done in one appointment include extractions, fillings and other symptomatic treatment. No root canal treatments or cleanings will be performed.
Dr. Hrankowski has recruited three other dentists for the Day of Caring to serve more people. The dentists are Dr. Roy Carlson, Edmonds, Dr. Brian Dillon, Redmond, and Dr. Ken Huff, Portland, Oregon. Colgate and Patterson Dental Supply Company are providing supplies and additional equipment for the Day of Caring.
Due to the expected demand, the doctors cannot guarantee everyone who shows up will be seen. "Come early for best chance at being seen, but please, not before 6 a.m.," Dr. Hrankowski said.
Dr. Hrankowski is also seeking the assistance of an Edmonds-area restaurant or caterer to participate in the event by donating 12 lunch meals for the volunteer doctors and staff.

Differing lifestyles: A study of ethnicity and health
2011-07-08
In recent years, the UK government has made bold statements regarding the recommendations for living a healthy life; including guidelines for how much fruit and how many vegetables we should eat daily, along with the ideal amount of physical activity we should do in order to avoid the risks of obesity. Funded by the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC), the research found that men from most of the minority ethnic groups studied, and women from Pakistani and Bangladeshi groups, are more likely than their white counterparts to eat the recommended five portions of fruit ...
A drugstore within
2011-07-08
A stem cell that can morph into a number of different tissues is proving a natural protector, healer and antibiotic maker, researchers at Case Western Reserve University and their peers have found.
Mesenchymal stem cells reaped from bone marrow had been hailed as the key to growing new organs to replace those damaged or destroyed by violence or disease, but have failed to live up to the billing.
Instead, scientists who'd been trying to manipulate the cells to build replacement parts have been finding the cells are innately potent antidotes to a growing list of maladies. ...

Half-matched transplants widen pool of donors for leukemia and lymphoma
2011-07-08
Identifying a suitable donor for leukemia and lymphoma patients who need bone marrow transplants may be far easier now that results of two clinical trials show transplant results with half-matched bone marrow or umbilical cord blood are comparable to fully matched tissue, thanks in large part to the availability of effective antirejection drugs and special post-transplant chemotherapy. The finding means that nearly all patients in need of a transplant can find donors, according to Johns Hopkins scientists who participated in the trials.
Plans are under way for a four-year ...

The turn of the corkscrew: Structural analysis uncovers mechanisms of gene expression
2011-07-08
The diverse functions of living cells are all based on the information encoded in the structure of the hereditary material DNA. Gene expression must therefore be tightly controlled, and this task is accomplished by the binding of regulatory proteins to, and their removal from, specific DNA sequences. One class of large molecular machines known as Swi2/Snf2 remodelers plays a central role in modulating these processes. However, until now, it was not clear how Swi2/Snf2 remodelers actually work. A team led by Professor Karl-Peter Hopfner at the Gene Center at Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität ...
Sexual orientation and gender conforming traits in women are genetic
2011-07-08
Sexual orientation and 'gender conformity' in women are both genetic traits, according to new research from Queen Mary, University of London.
It is well recognised that there consistent differences in the psychological characteristics of boys and girls; for example, boys engage in more 'rough and tumble' play than girls do.
Studies also show that children who become gay or lesbian adults differ in such traits from those who become heterosexual – so-called gender nonconformity. Research which follows these children to adulthood shows that between 50 to 80 per cent of ...
Special needs students and teachers are victims of 'muddled' approach to schooling -- study
2011-07-08
Pupils with special needs and teachers in mainstream schools in the UK are often the victims of a "one size fits all" approach to schooling and education, a leading academic has claimed.
Professor Paul Cooper, a chartered psychologist and professor of education at the University of Leicester, said pupils with social, emotional and behavioural problems (SEBD) are at particular risk of under-achieving because schools are frequently ill-equipped to handle their problems.
Teachers need better training in the appropriate skills and methods for supporting pupils with special ...
Cortisol controls recycling of bile acids
2011-07-08
Nature sees to it that we do not have "too much choler" (bile) in our body. A delicately equilibrated regulation system ensures that there is always exactly the right amount of bile in the gallbladder. When we are hungry, our body releases a hormone called cortisol, which is a glucocorticoid. Hepatic cells receive this hormone signal through their cortisol receptors (glucocorticoid receptors) and respond by filling the gallbladder with bile in preparation of the imminent food intake. Directly upon eating a meal, bile is secreted into the intestine.
Bile acids contained ...
