SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA, March 27, 2012 (Press-News.org) Seoul is to become a hotbed of classical music performances in April when the 2012 Orchestra Festival takes place for the 24th time.

The annual event will see 18 symphony orchestras from around the country giving a series of performances, as well as two college orchestras, the Unpa Memorial orchestra and Korea's version of the El Sistema Aloysius Orchestra.

Running from April 1st to 24th, the shows will be held at the Seoul Arts Center's concert hall, with pieces from composers such as Wagner, Liszt, Tchaikovsky, Shostakovich, Dvorak, Stravinsky, Elgar and more all set to be played.

The festival has been running since 1989, with the inaugural event commemorating the opening of the concert hall itself.

Tickets can be purchased for as little as 10,000 won (GBP5.50), while those who wish to attend more than one performance can receive discounts if they book seats for multiple shows.

Cardiac CT is faster, more effective for evaluating patients with suspected heart attack

2012-03-27

CHICAGO -- Cardiac computed tomography angiography scans (CT scans that look at the heart) can provide a virtually instant verdict on whether chest pain is from blockage of the coronary arteries. When used early to evaluate chest pain, the scans save patients and hospitals time and money by allowing doctors to quickly determine who should be admitted for treatment for a heart attack and who can be safely sent home, according to research presented today at the American College of Cardiology's 61st Annual Scientific Session. The Scientific Session, the premier cardiovascular ...

Oceanographers develop method for measuring the pace of life in deep sediments

2012-03-27

NARRAGANSETT, R.I. -- Life deep in the seabed proceeds very slowly. But the slow-growing bacteria living many meters beneath the seafloor play an important role in the global storage of organic carbon and have a long-term effect on climate. A team of scientists from Aarhus University (Denmark) and the University of Rhode Island have developed a new method for measuring this slow life deep down in the seabed. Their findings were published last week in the journal Nature. According to URI Oceanography Professor Arthur Spivack, the relative abundance of amino acids ...

2012-03-27

We've all heard about the stress experienced by victims of 9/11, but have we ever paused to think about the effect of those terrorist attacks on mental health clinicians who provided care to the victims?

CHICAGO -- Pulmonary embolism -- the sudden blockage of an artery in the lung -- is estimated to cause over 100,000 deaths each year in the U.S. Although thrombolytics, or "clot-buster" drugs, are currently reserved to treat only the most severe cases of pulmonary embolism, new data suggest that when used at lower doses, these drugs are also safe and effective for more common, moderate cases of pulmonary embolism, according to research presented today at the American College of Cardiology's 61st Annual Scientific Session.

2012-03-27

COLUMBIA, Mo. – As loved ones age and face challenges that prevent them from living on their own, family members often struggle with the decision to place their relatives in nursing homes.

Now, those negative perceptions are changing, say two University of Missouri researchers in the Sinclair School of Nursing. After conducting a statewide survey of Missouri nursing homes, the researchers found that nearly 90 percent of nursing home residents ...
