Tissue structure delays cancer development

2011-12-19

This press release is available in German. Cancer growth normally follows a lengthy period of development. Over the course of time, genetic mutations often accumulate in cells, leading first to pre-cancerous conditions and ultimately to tumour growth. Using a mathematical model, scientists at the Max Planck Institute for Dynamics and Self-Organization in Göttingen, University of Pennsylvania and University of California San Francisco, have now shown that spatial tissue structure, such as that found in the colon, slows down the accumulation of genetic mutations, thereby ...

Algal protein gives boost to electrochemical water splitting

2011-12-19

Photosynthesis is considered the 'Holy Grail' in the field of sustainable energy generation because it directly converts solar energy into storable fuel using nothing but water and carbon dioxide (CO2). Scientists have long tried to mimic the underlying natural processes and to optimize them for energy device applications such as photo-electrochemical cells (PEC), which use sunlight to electrochemically split water – and thus directly generate hydrogen, cutting short the more conventional approach using photovoltaic cells for the electrolysis of water. Traditionally, PEC ...

Study reveals gender bias of prospective parents

2011-12-19

A Queen's University study has found that when people think about having children, men want boys and women want girls. "Gender neutrality - a lack of preference - is now a standard cultural norm embraced within most wealthy developed countries like Canada," says Lonnie Aarssen, a Queen's biology professor and co-author of the study. His results, though, reveal a strong gender bias, despite the researchers' prediction that they would find evidence of a well-established contemporary culture of gender neutrality. As a way of explaining these findings, Dr. Aarssen says the ...

New insight into why locusts swarm

2011-12-19

New research has found that a protein associated with learning and memory plays an integral role in changing the behaviour of locusts from that of harmless grasshoppers into swarming pests. Desert Locusts are a species of grasshopper that have evolved a Jekyll-and-Hyde disposition to survive in their harsh environment. In their solitary phase, they avoid other locusts and occur in very low density. When the sporadic rains arrive and food is more plentiful, their numbers increase. However, as the rains cease the locusts are driven onto dwindling patches of vegetation. ...

Healthcare Talent Crisis Driving Boost in Human Capital Management

2011-12-19

Healthcare providers' ability to deliver care is more contingent upon people than any other variable, according to the KLAS report, "Human Capital Management: Finding the Right Vendor Mix." KLAS found that many providers are feeling tremendous pressure to replace, acquire, or interface human capital management (HCM) solutions to improve the recruitment, training, utilization, and retention of staff. While most providers already have an HR/Payroll application--the foundation of an HCM system--as well as Time & Attendance (TA) and Staff Scheduling systems ...

Effect of adenotonsillectomy in children with sleep-disordered breathing

2011-12-19

Alexandria, VA -- Children may have a better quality of life (QOL) and diminished cardiovascular disease risk from the decreased endothelin 1 (ET-1) levels after adenotonsillectomy, according to new research published in the December 2011 issue of Otolaryngology – Head and Neck Surgery. SDB is an increasingly common indication for tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy due to obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS). Cardiovascular (CV) disease frequently has been reported in patients with moderate to severe OSAS, related abnormalities include: systematic hypertension, pulmonary ...

1 trait has huge impact on whether alcohol makes you aggressive

2011-12-19

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Drinking enough alcohol to become intoxicated increases aggression significantly in people who have one particular personality trait, according to new research. But people without that trait don't get any more aggressive when drunk than they would when they're sober. That trait is the ability to consider the future consequences of current actions. "People who focus on the here and now, without thinking about the impact on the future, are more aggressive than others when they are sober, but the effect is magnified greatly when they're drunk," said ...

2011-12-19

Ohio Attorneys John Sherrod and W. Mark Jump, of Jump Legal Group, have filed a class action lawsuit against Bank of America on behalf of Ohio homeowners who have been wrongfully foreclosed on by Bank of America despite never missing a single payment. The suit alleges Bank of American improperly diverted homeowners' trial loan modification payments (watch video). The initiation of the class action lawsuit came after Bank of American foreclosed on a Canal Winchester, Ohio, couple who were shocked when a process server appeared at their door with foreclosure papers. Attorney ...

Hospitals invest heavily in new heart attack care programs but fail to improve access

2011-12-19

BOSTON – In a new study, researchers have found a 44 percent increase since 2001 in the number of hospitals that offer definitive emergency care to patients with heart attack, but only a 1 percent increase in access to that care. The study, led by Thomas W. Concannon, PhD, Assistant Professor Tufts Medical Center and Tufts University School of Medicine, will be published January 1, 2012 in Circulation: Cardiovascular Quality and Outcomes, a journal of the American Heart Association. Patients with heart attacks caused by arterial blockages require emergency care to restore ...

Breast cancers at lower-risk detected with widespread use of mammograms

2011-12-19

As a woman ages, her chances of being diagnosed with a lower-risk breast tumor increase, according to a novel study led by UCSF which found that for women over 50, a substantial number of cancers detected by mammograms have good prognoses. The study provides the first molecular evidence of an increase in low- or ultra-low-risk cancers in the tumors when detected by screening mammography. And it provides a basis for integrating molecular profiling at the time of diagnosis to help avoid overtreatment. In their research, the UCSF scientists at the forefront of breast ...
