SANTA CLARITA, CA, January 25, 2012 (Press-News.org) Our Valleys publications will be marking its first anniversary in Santa Clarita Valley to celebrate a revolutionary year of service to both the English and Spanish communities in Santa Clarita Valley. The event is to be hosted at their offices located in 17960 Sierra Hwy, Santa Clarita, CA and local businesses and the public are welcome.
When the magazine started, the concept was that of a great magazine. In just one year, there has been tremendous growth and metamorphosis that has made it the best advertisement concept with sharp appeal. Its use of digital technology to enhance its presence, especially in the social media is what makes this magazine stand out. From your social media updates you can now get intriguing articles from the magazine.
Julio del Rio, Our Valleys (www.OurValleys.com) co-founder, says, "The advertising agency who mainly deals with the media knows how to attract potential clients and how to treat them to maintain along business relationships." As the magazine evolved to an advertising leader in Santa Clarita, many business that used it have benefited from its multilingual nature; giving the business a client base of both Anglo and the increasing Latino population. It is certainly a very laudable step taken by Our Valleys Publishers to use the magazine to integrate the two communities.
Having come a long way from the days when traditional media prevailed in the form of radio and TV, Our Valleys publications have gone a step further to develop into a robust media solution that embraces new communication techniques including social site updates and news.
Our Valleys Magazine is the Official Publication for The Santa Clarita Valley Latino Chamber of Commerce: http://scvlatinochamberofcommerce.com/ and awarded by The City of Santa Clarita as The Small Business of the Year 2011.

Monogamy reduces major social problems of polygamist cultures
2012-01-25
In cultures that permit men to take multiple wives, the intra-sexual competition that occurs causes greater levels of crime, violence, poverty and gender inequality than in societies that institutionalize and practice monogamous marriage.
That is a key finding of a new University of British Columbia-led study that explores the global rise of monogamous marriage as a dominant cultural institution. The study suggests that institutionalized monogamous marriage is rapidly replacing polygamy because it has lower levels of inherent social problems.
"Our goal was to understand ...
Going to physician visits with older loved ones could improve care
2012-01-25
Family companions who routinely accompany older adults to physician office visits could be helpful to health care quality improvement efforts, according to a new study led by researchers at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. The authors found that three-quarters of older adults who attend physician visits with a family companion are consistently accompanied over time, nearly always by the same companion. The results are featured in the January 2012 issue of the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society.
"Continuity of care is a central tenant of an ...
Researchers develop gene therapy that could correct a common form of blindness
2012-01-25
A new gene therapy method developed by University of Florida researchers has the potential to treat a common form of blindness that strikes both youngsters and adults. The technique works by replacing a malfunctioning gene in the eye with a normal working copy that supplies a protein necessary for light-sensitive cells in the eye to function. The findings are published today (Monday, Jan. 23) in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences online.
Several complex and costly steps remain before the gene therapy technique can be used in humans, but once at that stage, ...
Rate of physician referrals nearly doubled
2012-01-25
BOSTON, MA -- Physician referral rates in the United States doubled between 1999 and 2009, a new study finds, an increase that likely contributes to the rising costs of health care.
The increase in referral rates coincides with an increase in chronic conditions such as Type 2 diabetes. The results are staggering: over the same time period, the estimated absolute number of visits resulting in a referral increased 159 per cent, from 40.6 million to 105 million.
"If you add that up, it's real money," said Bruce Landon, senior author of the paper and professor of health ...
Use of iodinated contrast media in imaging procedures appears to affect thyroid function
2012-01-25
CHICAGO—Exposure to iodinated contrast media during imaging procedures is associated with changes in thyroid function, and increased risk of developing hyperthyroidism, according to a report in the January 23 issue of Archives of Internal Medicine, one of the JAMA/Archives journals.
"Iodinated contrast media (ICM) are commonly administered pharmaceutical agents," the authors write as background information. ICM are frequently used in scans and imaging procedures such as cardiac catheterization and computed tomography (CT scans). "Although certain complications of ICM ...
Researchers quantify muscle soreness
2012-01-25
Quantifying how sore a person is after a long workout is a challenge for doctors and researchers, but scientists from Loma Linda and Asuza Pacific Universities think they may have figured it out. Their research article describing a new technique to measure muscle soreness will be published in the Journal of Visualized Experiments (JoVE).
Delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) or exercise-induced muscle damage (EIMD) is one of the most common sports injuries, but without a reliable method of quantifying muscle soreness, assessing treatments is difficult.
Traditionally, ...
CU School of Medicine researchers look at effects of 2 common sweeteners on the body
2012-01-25
AURORA, Colo. (Jan. 23, 2012) - With growing concern that excessive levels of fructose may pose a great health risk – causing high blood pressure, kidney disease and diabetes – researchers at the University of Colorado School of Medicine, along with their colleagues at the University of Florida, set out to see if two common sweeteners in western diets differ in their effects on the body in the first few hours after ingestion. The study, recently published in the journal Metabolism, took a closer look at high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) and table sugar (sucrose) and was ...
Neuropathy patients more likely to receive high-cost, screening instead of more effective tests
2012-01-25
Researchers at the University of Michigan analyzed the tremendous cost of diagnosing peripheral neuropathy and found that less expensive, more effective tests are less likely to be used.
Almost one-quarter of patients receiving neuropathy diagnoses undergo high-cost, low-yield MRIs while very few receive low-cost, high-yield glucose tolerance tests, according to the study that will be published Jan. 23 in the Archives of Internal Medicine.
The research was led by Brian Callaghan, M.D., assistant professor of neurology at the University of Michigan Medical School.
Patients ...
New tool enhances view of muscles
2012-01-25
Simon Fraser University associate professor James Wakeling is adding to the arsenal of increasingly sophisticated medical imaging tools with a new signal-processing method for viewing muscle activation details that have never been seen before.
Fascinated with the mechanics of muscle movement in people and animals, Wakeling has developed a novel method using ultrasound imaging, 3D motion-capture technology and proprietary data-processing software to scan and capture 3D maps of the muscle structure — in just 90 seconds.
It's a medical-imaging breakthrough because previous ...
Van Andel research institute study provides new details of fundamental cellular process
2012-01-25
Grand Rapids, Mich. – A recent Van Andel Research Institute (VARI) study published in the journal Science investigating the molecular structure and function of an essential plant hormone could profoundly change our understanding of a key cell process, and might ultimately lead to the development of new drugs for a variety of diseases.
The study builds on earlier work by the same team of investigators at VARI that was published in the journal Nature in 2009. That study shed light on how plants respond when they are under stress from extreme temperatures, drought and other ...
