LONDON, ENGLAND, August 12, 2011 (Press-News.org) Currently embroiled in the 3rd Test of the series with India, and leading 2-0 England are set to bring cricket back to London on August 18th.

This time the match is taking place at the Kia Oval in Kennington.

How you read the Bible is tied to fellow worshippers' education, Baylor researcher finds

2011-08-12

Regardless of a person's educational background, he or she is less likely to approach the Bible in a literal word-for-word fashion when surrounded by a greater number of church members who went to college, according to a Baylor University sociology researcher. "When you go to Sunday school and everyone is talking about the cultural and historical background of a passage and its literary genre — a way of reading often learned in college —it's likely to rub off on you," said Samuel Stroope, a Baylor University doctoral student, in an award-winning research paper.

Researchers from the Indiana University have identified common barriers and strategies for successfully implementing practice changes in Intensive Care Units (ICUs). The study, published in the August issue of Infection Control and Hospital Epidemiology, the journal of the Society for Healthcare Epidemiology of America, reveals shared lessons learned from six ICUs as they implemented evidence-based practices to reduce Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infections.

Software predicted risk in California West Nile virus epidemic

2011-08-12

PROVIDENCE, R.I. [Brown University] — A computerized epidemiological model of the spread of the mosquito-borne West Nile virus in 17 counties of California in 2005 successfully predicted where 81.6 percent of human cases of the disease would arise and defined high-risk areas where the risk of infection turned out to be 39 times higher than in low-risk areas, according to newly published research. The DYCAST software used in those predictions is now open-source and is being applied to other diseases. "One of the things that really differentiates DYCAST from other approaches ...

2011-08-12

An outbreak strain of Clostridium difficile, a bacterium that causes diarrhea and sometimes life-threatening inflammation of the colon, is common in Chicago-area acute care hospitals, an investigation published in the September issue of Infection Control and Hospital Epidemiology suggests. In response to Illinois Department of Public Health reports of rising rates of C. difficile infection as a hospital discharge diagnosis, the Chicago and Cook County health departments surveyed 25 Chicago-area hospitals over one month in 2009. They identified 263 total cases of C. difficile ...

Common class of pain drugs reduces severity of postpartum breast cancers

2011-08-12

Published online on Aug. 7, 2011, the journal Nature Medicine reports that non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs including ibuprofen reduce the severity of postpartum breast cancers in animal models. "We caution patients and providers that because a mother's body is undergoing radical changes during this time, we can't yet speak to the safety of these drugs for women diagnosed with or at risk for postpartum breast cancer, and thus can't yet recommend NSAIDs as a preventative therapy or cancer treatment," says Pepper Schedin, PhD, investigator at the University of Colorado ...

50 Year Old UFO Mysteries Solved

2011-08-12

Explained are the famous EM effects of car engines and headlights dying and some temporary paralysis near UFOs, and why UFOs do not create sonic booms at supersonic speed. Also how UFOs neutralize inertia and do tremendous accelerations without a sound, how they float in gravity, how they propel themselves and why they do zig-zag motions instead of smooth turns, why they sometimes exhibit "falling leaf" motion, and why they occasionally levitate objects and even cars. How was the solution possible? Very simple. The Center of UFO Studies (CUFOS) has for 30 years ...
