2011-07-12
PORTLAND, OR, July 12, 2011 (Press-News.org) Becoming a Workamajig expert requires a replete understanding of the platform (Client Services, Project Management, Trafficking, CRM and Finance modules) and the rollout of the solution for a minimum of three agency clientele. We are extremely pleased, states Vanessa Edwards, President and Founder of CPI. "My journey with Workamajig began nearly five years ago, when I was searching for a solution to help improve my own agency's realization rates, drive efficiency and improve profitability. Post-adoption, our AGI went from 75% to 200% of the national average... providing us the retained earnings necessary to undergo explosive growth, leading to our eventual acquisition in 2010." Today, CPI is taking those experiences and leveraging them on behalf of agency principals across the country.

Trudeau Institute announces a discovery in the fight against sepsis

2011-07-12
Saranac Lake, N.Y. – New research from the Trudeau Institute may help to explain why anticoagulant therapies have largely failed to extend the lives of patients with sepsis. The study was led by Deyan Luo, a postdoctoral fellow in Stephen Smiley's laboratory. It shows that fibrin, a key product of the blood clotting process, is critical for host defense against Yersinia enterocolitica, a gram-negative bacterium that causes sepsis in humans and experimental mice. The new data will be published in the August 15 issue of The Journal of Immunology and is available now online ...

Athletes may have different reasons for marijuana use

2011-07-12
College athletes tend to be less likely than their non-athlete peers to smoke marijuana. But when they do, they may have some different reasons for it, according to a study in the July issue of the Journal of Studies on Alcohol and Drugs. Past studies have shown that athletes generally smoke marijuana less often than other college students do. "But there is still a pretty large number who choose to use it," said Jennifer F. Buckman, Ph.D., of the Center of Alcohol Studies at Rutgers University in Piscataway, New Jersey. Because marijuana could have ill health effects—and ...

Project Achilles pinpoints vulnerabilities in ovarian cancer

2011-07-12
Cancer is not invincible but its weaknesses can be difficult to detect. An effort known as Project Achilles — named after the Greek warrior whose one vulnerability led to his undoing — was launched to develop a systematic way of pinpointing these weak spots. In their largest and most comprehensive effort to date, researchers from the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard and the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute examined cells from over 100 tumors, including 25 ovarian cancer tumors, to unearth the genes upon which cancers depend. One of these genes, PAX8, is altered in a significant ...

New discovery throws light on blood pressure regulation

The research, funded by the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) and the British Heart Foundation (BHF), shows that malfunction of the protein – a potassium channel called Kv7.4 – contributes to the maintenance of high blood pressure. The discovery is published this evening (2100hrs, 11 July) in the journal Circulation. Dr ...
