Diversity aided mammals' survival over deep time
2012-04-24
When it comes to adapting to climate change, diversity is the mammal's best defense.
That is one of the conclusions of the first study of how mammals in North America adapted to climate change in "deep time" – a period of 56 million years beginning with the Eocene and ending 12,000 years ago with the terminal Pleistocene extinction when mammoths, saber-toothed tigers, giant sloths and most of the other "megafauna" on the continent disappeared.
"Before we can predict how mammals will respond to climate change in the future, we need to understand how they responded to ...
AsiaRooms.com - See Oscar Wilde's The Importance of Being Earnest in Taipei
2012-04-24
Taipei visitors will be able to see a production of classic farce The Importance of Being Earnest from May 24th to 27th 2012.
To be staged at the National Theater Concert Hall, the show is one of legendary Irish author and wit Oscar Wilde's most famous works, offering a sharp and hilarious dissection of social etiquette.
It follows two Victorian gentlemen who gain advantages in their social lives by maintaining false identities as "Ernest", only for two women to upend their comfortable existences by falling in love with their carefully constructed fake personas.

Preventing dementia
2012-04-24
Cognitive decline is a pressing global health care issue. Worldwide, one case of dementia is detected every seven seconds. Mild cognitive impairment is a well recognized risk factor for dementia, and represents a critical window of opportunity for intervening and altering the trajectory of cognitive decline in seniors.
A new study by researchers at the Centre for Hip Health and Mobility at Vancouver Coastal Health and the University of British Columbia shows that implementing a seniors' exercise program, specifically one using resistance-training, can alter the trajectory ...
Clinical decline in Alzheimer's requires plaque and proteins
2012-04-24
According to a new study, the neuron-killing pathology of Alzheimer's disease (AD), which begins before clinical symptoms appear, requires the presence of both amyloid-beta (a-beta) plaque deposits and elevated levels of an altered protein called p-tau.
Without both, progressive clinical decline associated with AD in cognitively healthy older individuals is "not significantly different from zero," reports a team of scientists at the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine in the April 23 online issue of the Archives of Neurology.
"I think this is the ...
Study examines relationship between 2 proteins associated with Alzheimer's disease
2012-04-24
CHICAGO – A study that examined the relationship between two cerebrospinal fluid proteins associated with Alzheimer disease in clinically and cognitively normal older patients suggests that amyloid-β (Αβ)-associated clinical decline was linked to the presence of elevated phospho-tau (p-tau), according to a report published Online First by Archives of Neurology, a JAMA Network publication.
Identifying clinically normal older individuals destined to develop Alzheimer disease (AD) is increasingly important as therapeutic interventions to prevent dementia are ...
Study examines subclinical hyperthyroidism, coronary heart disease and mortality risk
2012-04-24
CHICAGO – An analysis of individual data from prospective studies assessing the risks of thyroid dysfunction suggests that subclinical hyperthyroidism may be associated with increased risk of total mortality, coronary heart disease (CHD) death and incident atrial fibrillation (AF), although the risk of CHD mortality and AF is higher when thyrotropin levels are below 0.10 mIU/L, according to a report published Online First in Archives of Internal Medicine, a JAMA Network publication.
Subclinical hyperthyroidism is defined by low thyrotropin levels with normal concentrations ...
Treatment of subclinical hypothyroidism linked with fewer ischemic heart events in younger patients
2012-04-24
CHICAGO – Treatment of subclinical hypothyroidism with the medication levothyroxine appears to be related to fewer ischemic heart disease events in younger patients but this finding was not evident in older patients, according to a report published Online First in Archives of Internal Medicine, a JAMA Network publication.
Subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH) is defined as an elevated serum thyrotropin level in the presence of normal thyroid hormone concentrations. The condition is relatively common and often asymptomatic, although recent meta-analyses have suggested that ...
Slotland Has Two Jackpot Winners in a Row -- $68K Win Comes Just Days After Massive $180K Jackpot
2012-04-24
Slotland has had two major jackpot winners in the last few weeks. Since there'd just been a massive $180,000 jackpot win, last week's $68K winner was hardly expecting Slotland's progressive jackpot to pay out again so soon.
"On average, we've always gone six to eight weeks between big jackpot winners," said Slotland manager Michael Hilary. "None of us, least of all the winner, thought there'd be another jackpot win already!"
First Alice M, known as SCRAPPIER at Slotland, won the progressive jackpot at $180,717. It was re-set to $50,000 and just ...
Discovery of missing links for Salmonella's weapon system
2012-04-24
Scientists have discovered multiple gene switches in Salmonella that offer new ways to curb human infection. The discovery of the mechanisms of gene regulation could lead to the development of antibiotics to reduce the levels of disease caused by Salmonella. The breakthrough was made by Professor Jay Hinton, Stokes Professor of Microbial Pathogenesis, Trinity College Dublin and his research team* and has just been published in the leading journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS). Science Foundation Ireland funded the research.
Salmonella causes ...
Malaria resurgence is linked to reduction of malaria-control programs
2012-04-24
Since the 1930s, there have been 75 documented episodes of malaria resurgence worldwide, most of which were linked to weakening of malaria control programs, finds a new study published in BioMed Central's open access journal Malaria Journal. The study, which is allied to the theme of this year's World Malaria Day (25th April 2012) "Sustain Gains, Save Lives: Invest in Malaria", found that the most common reason for weakening of malaria control programs was funding disruptions.
There are over 200 million cases of malaria each year with 85% of all cases being children ...
