WILTON MANORS, FL, May 17, 2012 (Press-News.org) Reported by Channel 10's Tampa Bay News May 14, 2012: "Police say the victim of a violent beating caught on camera is a 24 year old and has lived in Tampa for less than a month. He's a United States Army soldier assigned to MacDill Air Force Base and lives not far from the base at Dale Mabry Hwy. and Interbay Blvd."
According to police reports on Sunday morning, at around 3 a.m., the soldier's car broke down a few miles from home along Westshore Blvd. The attack came when he was walking home and using Iowa St. to get from Westshore to Dale Mabry. At the intersection of Iowa and Renellie Dr., the man came into the view of a neighbor's motion-activated security camera. A group of three young men are seen walking ahead of the soldier. Police say one of the men in the group doubled back and asked the soldier to borrow a dollar. When the soldier reached for his wallet, the first punch flew. The first, tremendous sucker punch laid the victim onto the ground. The other two men joined in, punching and kicking the soldier. A fourth man comes sprinting into view from the left edge of the video. The new attacker -- a man the soldier said he had walked past earlier -- joined in the beating. Tampa Police officers say the men stole the soldier's wallet and cell phone, then took off south on Renellie Dr. When he eventually got to his feet, the victim had to knock on doors to find someone to help him call 911. The soldier was taken to Tampa General Hospital with cuts and bruises on his face and head. Police say he is expected to make a full recovery."
Police are hoping someone will come forward with information regarding this brutal beating and call Tampa Police to help them find the attackers. Reverend Randy White will provide a reward of $5,000 to the person who leads to arrest of these four men. Please call Tampa Police at 813-354-6600 if you have information.

FAME II trial demonstrates the importance of targeting treatment to the right patients
A ground breaking international trial, presented yesterday at EuroPCR, has demonstrated for the very first time the true value of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with stable coronary artery disease. The study highlights the critical importance of targeting these interventions to patients with ischemia and may revolutionise the patient selection procedure for PCI.
The FAME II study is the first of its kind and has shown that targeting fractional flow reserve (FFR) ...
Medical Practice Management Software Users Have Been Given a Temporary Reprieve from ANSI 5010, But Still Required to Meet June 30 2012 Deadline
2012-05-17
Medical practice management software users have been issued a temporary reprieve from the Government, reports Harry Selent, President of www.medicalbillingsoftware.com. The government still allowed the deadline to pass without extending the deadline, however, they delayed the enforcement of the new rules for physicians, therapists, billing services, and others that submit medical electronic claims until June 30, 2012.
"The new ANSI 5010 rules are required for a number of reasons" reports Selent. "One of the main reasons is to allow for the new ICD-10 diagnosis ...
Protective molecule, ACE2, also proving its worth in diabetic patients
2012-05-17
ACE2, a molecule that has been shown to prevent damage in the heart, is now proving to be protective of the major organs that are often damaged in diabetic patients.
Gavin Oudit, a researcher with the Faculty of Medicine & Dentistry, and his colleagues at the University of Florida, found that lab models that lacked ACE2 had worse cardiovascular complications related to diabetes.
"We show that if you take ACE2 away, they [lab models of diabetes] do very poorly," said Oudit. "It worsened their heart function and their vascular function."In patients, if you have high levels ...
'Gaydar' automatic and more accurate for women's faces, psychologists find
2012-05-17
After seeing faces for less than a blink of an eye, college students have accuracy greater than mere chance in judging others' sexual orientation. Their "gaydar" persisted even when they saw the photos upside-down, and gay versus straight judgments were more accurate for women's faces than for men's.
The findings, published May 16 in the open-access online journal PLoS ONE, suggest that we unconsciously make gay and straight distinctions.
"It may be similar to how we don't have to think about whether someone is a man or a woman or black or white," said lead author Joshua ...
Freshwater crayfish found to have substance covering teeth astonishingly similar to human enamel
2012-05-17
BEER-SHEVA, Israel, May 16, 2012 – A team of Israeli and German scientists from Ben-Gurion University of the Negev (BGU) and the Max Planck Institute of Colloids and Interfaces have found an enamel-like layer in the mandibles of freshwater crayfish, according to an article in Nature Communications titled "Enamel-like Apatite Crown Covering Amorphous Mineral in a Crayfish Mandible."
Dr. Shmuel Bentov from BGU's Avram and Stella Goldstein-Goren Department of Biotechnology Engineering discovered that this species of crayfish protect their teeth against wear in a very specific ...

Graphite enters different states of matter in ultrafast experiment
2012-05-17
For the first time, scientists have seen an X-ray-irradiated mineral go to two different states of matter in about 40 femtoseconds (a femtosecond is one quadrillionth of a second).
Using the Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS) X-ray Free-Electron Laser (XFEL) at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory at Stanford, Stefan Hau-Riege of Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and colleagues heated graphite to induce a transition from solid to liquid and to warm-dense plasma.
Ultrafast phase transitions from solid to liquid and plasma states are important in the development ...
Experimental agent may help older people with chronic leukemia
2012-05-17
Standard treatment for chronic leukemia is too harsh for many older patients.
Early clinical trials testing indicates that these patients respond well to the experimental drug ibrutinib.
This agent merits further testing as a first-line therapy for older chronic-leukemia patients.
COLUMBUS, Ohio – The experimental drug ibrutinib (PCI-32765) shows great promise for the treatment of elderly patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), according to interim findings from a clinical trial.
The phase I/II trial, co-led by researchers at the Ohio State University Comprehensive ...
3-telescope interferometry allows astrophysicists to observe how black holes are fueled
2012-05-17
(Santa Barbara, Calif.) –– By combining the light of three powerful infrared telescopes, an international research team has observed the active accretion phase of a supermassive black hole in the center of a galaxy tens of millions of light years away, a method that has yielded an unprecedented amount of data for such observations. The resolution at which they were able to observe this highly luminescent active galactic nucleus (AGN) has given them direct confirmation of how mass accretes onto black holes in centers of galaxies.
"This three-telescope interferometry is ...
Revised glioblastoma classification should improve patient care
2012-05-17
The system doctors use to classify patients' malignant brain tumors is outdated.
Researchers have revised the system to accommodate treatment advances and molecular markers.
The new system will be validated in future clinical trials for malignant gliomas.
COLUMBUS, Ohio – Radiation oncology researchers have revised the system used by doctors since the 1990s to determine the prognosis of people with glioblastoma, which is the most devastating of malignant brain tumors.
The outdated system was devised for glioblastoma and related brain tumors that were treated by ...
