SAN DIEGO, CA, April 04, 2012 (Press-News.org) Since its inception in 1984, L-3 Nautronix has established itself as a true global leader in the maritime manufacturing and defence sectors, supplying through-water communications, portable tracking devices, navigation tools and geospatial support systems to Australian and international maritime customers.
Nautronix was originally founded just south of Perth in Fremantle, Western Australia to satisfy a niche oil and gas industry requirement: establishing offshore acoustic control and undersea positioning systems just off the west coast. The young company grew quickly, listing on the WA Stock Exchange and acquiring other companies such as California-based MariPro that would strengthen the business by incorporating additional specialties - in this case, undersea cabling.
The mid-1990s proved to be a turning point for Nautronix when the company realised their acoustic systems would be beneficial within the naval defence sector, handling underwater noise measurements and facilitating communication between submarines. Within just a few years, the government and defence sector of the business became their primary area of focus. More than 70 per cent of their global turnover could be attributed to their naval defence efforts.

Stopping the spread of a deadly childhood bone cancer
2012-04-04
CHICAGO -- Many children with the bone cancer, osteosarcoma, die after the tumor spreads to their lungs. In a critical step toward finding a way to stop metastasis, researchers at Georgetown Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center say they have discovered an agent that prevents this type of cancer from spreading to the lungs in mice with the disease.
The new agent stops or inhibits "ezrin," a protein vital to the spread of osteosarcoma, say the researchers who presented their findings today at the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Annual Meeting 2012. If ...
Cholesterol drug shows benefit in animal study of Alzheimer's disease
2012-04-04
Washington, DC — A cholesterol drug commonly prescribed to reduce cardiovascular disease risk restores blood vessel function in a mouse model of Alzheimer's disease, according to a study in the April 4 issue of The Journal of Neuroscience. The drug simvastatin (Zocor®) — which works by slowing cholesterol production — also improves learning and memory in adult, but not aged Alzheimer's model mice. The findings add to a growing body of evidence that early treatment with statins protects against some of the symptoms of Alzheimer's disease.
Alzheimer's disease destroys nerve ...
Former professional baseball pitcher now keeps his 'strike zone' in proteins
2012-04-04
AMHERST, Mass. – Perhaps no other biochemist in the world has his own baseball card, but University of Massachusetts Amherst doctoral student Elih M. Velázquez-Delgado, who gave up a pitching career for science, does. Now the only stats he cares about are experimental data, because, he says, "I fell in love with the fact that I can see a molecule. I can actually see an enzyme and watch how it functions. That captured me."
A native of Puerto Rico who pitched for five seasons in the minors, the Arizona and California Leagues, for the Oakland A's and San Francisco Giants' ...

Excess body weight associated with increased risk for prostate cancer recurrence
2012-04-04
CHICAGO -- Researchers have found an association between excess body weight and an increased risk for cancer recurrence in men with clinically localized prostate cancer.
"Men diagnosed with early-stage prostate cancer and who have excess body weight as indicated by a higher-than-normal body mass index (BMI) have an increased risk for cancer recurrence after treatment," said Vincent L. Freeman, M.D., M.P.H., associate professor in the division of epidemiology and biostatistics in the School of Public Health at the University of Illinois in Chicago, Ill.

Noninvasive stool test for colorectal cancer unaffected by variables
2012-04-04
CHICAGO — Research on an investigational DNA methylation test for colorectal cancer demonstrated that the only clinical variable that influenced test results was age, according to results presented at the AACR Annual Meeting 2012, held here March 31 - April 4.
"There was a progressive increase in background methylation levels that varied widely between methylation markers tested as a patient aged," said David Ahlquist, M.D., professor of medicine and a consultant in gastroenterology and hepatology at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn. "For example, median background ...
Caffeine and exercise may be protective against skin cancer caused by sun exposure
2012-04-04
CHICAGO — The combined effects of exercise plus caffeine consumption may be able to ward off skin cancer and also prevent inflammation related to other obesity-linked cancers.
"We found that this combination treatment can decrease sunlight-caused skin cancer formation in a mouse model," said Yao-Ping Lu, Ph.D., associate research professor of chemical biology and director of skin cancer prevention at the Rutgers Ernest Mario School of Pharmacy in Piscataway, N.J. He presented these findings at the AACR Annual Meeting 2012, held here March 31 - April 4.

Race may play role in presentation of triple-negative breast cancer in hispanic women
2012-04-04
CHICAGO — Hispanic women in Puerto Rico who have triple-negative breast cancer share similar disease characteristics with Hispanic women in California, suggesting that race plays a significant role in the presentation of triple-negative breast cancer among Hispanic women.
These study results were presented at the AACR Annual Meeting 2012, held here March 31 - April 4.
"We think the fact that our patients are geographically located outside the mainland and still have the same disease characteristics suggests that the biology of the disease plays a major role in how ...
