Removal of lymph nodes during surgery for thyroid cancer may be beneficial

2011-12-21

Papillary thyroid cancer accounts for the majority of all thyroid malignancies, which primarily impact women. A new study indicates that routinely removing lymph nodes in the neck in these cancer patients may help prevent the disease from coming back. When thyroid cancer metastasizes, lymph nodes in the neck may be affected, but these lymph-node tumors can be tiny and may not be detected by ultrasounds done before surgery to remove the diseased thyroid — or even during the procedure itself. In an international academic study published in the December issue of ...

A single cell endoscope

2011-12-21

An endoscope that can provide high-resolution optical images of the interior of a single living cell, or precisely deliver genes, proteins, therapeutic drugs or other cargo without injuring or damaging the cell, has been developed by researchers with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)'s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab). This highly versatile and mechanically robust nanowire-based optical probe can also be applied to biosensing and single-cell electrophysiology. A team of researchers from Berkeley Lab and the University of California (UC) Berkeley ...

2011-12-21

The deep thinkers at Health Journeys Inc. are counting on their first iTunes app, Sleep Help, to be a real yawner. Literally. Insomnia is a common condition that affects millions of Americans each year. Being sleep-deprived or sleep-impaired can lead to irritability, sub-par functioning, muddy thinking, poor judgment, inefficient use of time, dangerous driving, failing relationships and decreased enjoyment of life. "A question we get asked a lot about our self-help CD programs is: Is there an app for that?," says Cindy Stalnaker, President of Health ...

New tool offers unprecedented access for root studies

2011-12-21

Stanford, CA— Plant roots are fascinating plant organs – they not only anchor the plant, but are also the world's most efficient mining companies. Roots live in darkness and direct the activities of the other organs, as well as interact with the surrounding environment. Charles Darwin posited in The Power of Movement of Plants that the root system acts as a plant's brain. Due to the difficulty of accessing root tissue in intact live plants, research of these hidden parts has always lagged behind research on the more visible parts of plants. But now: a new technology--developed ...

Better turbine simulation software to yield better engines

2011-12-21

For most of us, the word "turbomachinery" may conjure up images of superheroes or fast exotic cars, but in reality most people leverage turbomachinery to get things done nearly every day. Turbomachinery – pumps, fans, compressors, turbines and other machines that transfer energy between a rotor and a fluid – is especially instrumental in power generation in the aeronautic, automotive, marine, space and industrial sectors. For engine designers to achieve the most efficient propulsion and power systems, they must understand the physics of very complex air-flow fields produced ...

Aquatic therapy soon after total knee arthroplasty improves outcomes

2011-12-21

Philadelphia, PA – Despite increased use of total hip arthroplasty (THA) and total knee arthroplasty (TKA), there is a notable lack of consensus about optimal postoperative treatment. Aquatic therapy has been shown to have a beneficial effect, and it is typically begun two weeks after surgery, after the wound has healed. According to a new study published in the Archives of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, beginning aquatic therapy just 6 days after TKA may lead to improved results, while delaying its onset an additional week may be more appropriate after a THA. ...

Santa's New Sleigh is Big News for Kids Who Track Santa Claus on Christmas Eve

2011-12-21

In the first major upgrade to his toy delivery system in 200 years, Santa Claus has added a second sleigh. Sources close to Santa say the move had been contemplated for years, as the number of good little girls and boys grew and grew, causing the number of toys to deliver to skyrocket. The little red sleigh had not carried all the toys at one time since 1846. Santa and the reindeer had simply begun flying back to the Toy Workshop to reload. That was no problem for 5 or 50 or even 502 flights. But last year it took 5,002 flights and the reindeer finally ran completely ...

2011-12-21

Expect radical changes, unpredictability and instability in the year ahead, cautions Roi Solberg, well-known intuitive and author of Spirit of Archetypes. Solberg softens her prediction by explaining that altering our perception of change will lessen our resistance to new circumstances and help us to resolve many issues. To those who have lost their jobs, Solberg says, "The past few years have seen extreme changes in the way our country functions and looking back on the 'good old days' blocks us from seeing new opportunities. While the job market will continue to ...
