LA JOLLA, CA, January 11, 2012 (Press-News.org) MadCap Software, Inc., the leader in multi-channel content authoring and a showcase company for Microsoft Visual Studio and Microsoft XPS, today announced that it has published a new case study on athenahealth, Inc. Using the MadCap technical communications suite, the company's current technical writing team is able to publish new versions of its print and online documentation each month, even as the number of topics has tripled from 15 to 45.
More than 29,000 medical providers nationwide take advantage of the athenahealth cloud-based, practice management, electronic health record (EHR) and patient communication services. Each month athenahealth delivers new software releases to clients instantly through their network, which require updated documentation for both the company's employees and customers. Today, athenahealth uses three products from the MadCap technical communications to meet its monthly publishing demands:
- MadCap Flare native XML software provides single-sourcing and conditional build tags, enabling athenahealth technical writers to publish four PDF documents, two online Help versions, and a Microsoft Word file for each new monthly software-as-a-service (SaaS) release.
- MadCap Contributor allows 45-plus subject matter experts to contribute and edit topics within an easy-to-use template, eliminating the need to manually cut and paste this information into athenahealth's Flare-based documentation.
- MadCap Feedback Service monitors how athenahealth customers are making use of the documentation and online Help, giving technical writers the insights into how to enhance the user experience.
The full athenahealth case study is available at: http://www.madcapsoftware.com/casestudy/athenahealth.aspx.
"MadCap's software makes it so much easier to provide our customers the information they need in their format of choice, and it has allowed us to complete roughly twice the amount of work with the same number of technical writers," says Peggy Spencer, athenahealth technical writer. ""We have a very strong commitment to customer service, and I feel that MadCap shares a very similar mission."

Tapping the body's own defenses, researchers look to cutting-edge gene therapy for bladder cancer
2012-01-11
CLEVELAND -- Bladder cancer, most frequently caused by smoking and exposure to carcinogens in the workplace, is one of the top 10 most common forms of cancer in men
and women in the U.S. More than 70 percent of bladder cancers are diagnosed in stage T1 or less and have not invaded the muscle layer. At these early stages, standard treatment is surgery (transurethral resection) and the burning away of tumors with high energy electricity (fulguration). Many patients also may receive subsequent intravesical chemotherapy because there is often a high-risk for cancer recurrence. ...

In the U.S., over 700,000 inmates leave prisons each year and over two-thirds of those inmates have a drug problem. The return of these inmates to the community ...
University of Colorado-led study pinpoints farthest developing galaxy cluster ever found
2012-01-11
A team of researchers led by the University of Colorado Boulder has used NASA's Hubble Space Telescope to uncover a cluster of galaxies in the initial stages of construction -- the most distant such grouping ever observed in the early universe.
In a random sky survey made in near-infrared light, Hubble spied five small galaxies clustered together 13.1 billion light-years away. They are among the brightest galaxies at that epoch and very young, living just 600 million years after the universe's birth in the Big Bang. One light-year is about 6 trillion miles.

Backing out of the nanotunnel
2012-01-11
In the world of biomolecules such as proteins and the hereditary nucleic acids DNA and RNA, three-dimensional structure determines function. Analysis of the passage of such molecules through nanopores offers a relatively new, but highly promising, technique for obtaining information about their spatial conformations. However, interactions between the test molecules and the proteins used as pores have so far hindered quantitative analysis of the behavior of even simply structured molecules within nanopores. This problem must be solved before the technique can be routinely ...

2012-01-11
As mosquito-borne viral diseases like West Nile fever, dengue fever, and chikungunya fever spread rapidly around the globe, scientists at Virginia Tech are working to understand the mosquito's immune system and how the viral pathogens that cause these diseases are able to overcome it to be transmitted to human and animal hosts.
In nearly every part of the world, humans and animals experience high levels of morbidity and mortality after being bitten by mosquitoes infected with viruses. More than 100 different viruses transmitted by blood feeding arthropods like mosquitoes ...

It adds that the reuse of treated wastewater, also known as reclaimed water, to augment drinking water supplies has significant potential for helping meet future needs. Moreover, new analyses suggest that the possible health ...
