Male bowel cancer patients need more information about erectile dysfunction

2011-10-19

Male bowel cancer patients are very likely to suffer from erectile dysfunction (ED) after treatment and yet the majority are not receiving adequate information about the condition, according to a study published on bmj.com today. Bowel cancer affects over 38,000 people every year in the UK with around half of patients surviving for more than five years after treatment. This figure is set to increase, says the study. Men are more likely to develop bowel cancer and many will suffer from ED after their treatment, say the authors, led by Professor Sue Wilson at the University ...

Optimal modulation of ion channels rescues neurons associated with epilepsy

2011-10-19

New research successfully reverses epilepsy-associated pathology by using a sophisticated single-cell modeling paradigm to examine abnormal cell behavior and identify the optimal modulation of channel activity. The study, published by Cell Press in the October 18th issue of Biophysical Journal, describes a procedure that may be useful for rescuing function in organs with excitable cells, such as the heart and pancreas. Ion channels regulate the flow of ions into and out of the cell and are absolutely critical for a wide range of biological processes, including transmission ...

CHEO scientist advances biotherapeutics as published in Cancer Cell

2011-10-19

Ottawa, Ontario – October 18, 2011 – Oncolytic virology uses live viruses to sense the genetic difference between a tumor and normal cell. Once the virus finds a tumor cell, it replicates inside that cell, kills it and then spreads to adjacent tumor cells to seed a therapeutic "chain reaction". As reported in today's issue of Cancer Cell, Dr. David Stojdl, a scientist from the Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario Research Institute at the University of Ottawa has found a way to trick resistant cancer cells into committing suicide following oncolytic virus therapy. When ...

Romeo and Juliet Law Takes Effect in Texas

2011-10-19

The term "sex offender" conjures different images or meanings for different people. For those accused of sex crimes, it might bring to mind thoughts of lifetime registration on local sex-offender registries and social stigma. For others, the term might mean older adults who have had inappropriate contact with minors or of people who have committed forcible sex crimes against other adults. The term sex offender, however, rarely brings to mind teenagers who have engaged in consensual sexual relations. Until recently, teenagers or young adults convicted of sex ...

400,000 farmers in southern Africa using 'fertilizer trees' to improve food security

2011-10-19

NAIROBI, KENYA (14 October 2011)— On a continent battered by weather extremes, famine and record food prices, new research released today from the World Agroforestry Centre documents an exciting new trend in which hundreds of thousands of poor farmers in Southern Africa are now significantly boosting yields and incomes simply by using fast growing trees and shrubs to naturally fertilize their fields. The analysis of two decades of work to bring the soil-enriching benefits of so-called "fertilizer trees" to the nutrient-depleted farms of Africa was published in the most ...

CSI-style investigation of meteorite hits on Earth

2011-10-19

Volcanologists from the Universities of Leicester and Durham have forensically reconstructed the impact of a meteorite on Earth and how debris was hurled from the crater to devastate the surrounding region. New research by Mike Branney, of the University of Leicester's Department of Geology, and Richard Brown, University of Durham, shows that some aspects of giant meteorite impacts onto Earth may mimic the behaviour of large volcanic eruptions. Meteorite impacts are more common than is popularly appreciated – but what happens when the meteorite hits? Direct observation ...

This is more than eight times the $253 billion spent on health care in 1980. Considering the aging American population, no one expects these costs to go anywhere but up. It is more important than ever to plan well for the possibility of a major health event later in life. With adequate forethought, and the proper help, Medicaid planning can help you hang on to the assets you have worked your whole life to collect. Legal ...

New York's Scaffold Law Supports Work Place Safety

2011-10-19

On September 20, 2011, seventeen people were injured when a building scaffold collapsed onto a city bus in Harlem. Fortunately, the injuries of the scaffolding accident were minor, because the people waiting at the bus stop got on the bus moments before the collapse. The Department of Building had issued a stop-work order and will be issuing violations to the demolition contractor. Not only can innocent bystanders be injured in scaffolding accidents, those who work in construction are also at risk. Construction is physically demanding and dangerous work. In 2009, 29 ...

Can we share vampires' appetite for synthetic blood?

2011-10-19

For this reason it is vital the public has every opportunity to get involved with the latest developments in stem cell research, say researchers from the Economic ...
