Health-related quality of life was assessed with the Health Utilities Index Mark 3 (HUI3). The authors report that most participants showed stable alcohol-consumption patterns over 6 years.
Detailed information was available on the participants alcohol consumption. Moderate drinkers were defined as ...

Research: Many programs to help diabetics manage their health do work
2012-06-22
According to the Canadian Diabetes Association, more than nine million Canadians have diabetes or prediabetes. By 2020, it's estimated that diabetes will cost the Canadian healthcare system $16.9 billion a year.
"Although clinicians, managers and policy makers expend significant time and resources attempting to optimize care for patients with diabetes, the optimum approach to improving diabetes care and outcomes remains uncertain," Dr. Tricco said.
Her review of clinical trials found:
For patients with high levels of HbA1c – the average blood sugar level over ...
Grb2 holds powerful molecular signaling pathway in check
2012-06-22
HOUSTON - Once considered merely a passive link between proteins that matter, Grb2 - pronounced "grab2" - actually lives up to its nickname with its controlling grip on an important cell signaling pathway, scientists at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center report in the June 22 issue of Cell.
"Grb2 is a switch that controls normal signaling through the fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR)," said the paper's senior author, John Ladbury, Ph.D., professor in MD Anderson's Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology.
"Perhaps the best way to think ...

Infection biology: The elusive third factor
2012-06-22
Researchers from Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität (LMU) in Munich have identified an enzyme that is involved in a modification pathway that is essential for bacterial pathogenicity. Because it shows no similarity to other known proteins, it may be an ideal target for development of novel antimicrobial drugs.
Studies on a number of pathogenic bacteria have shown that these strains become pathogenic only when an enzyme called elongation factor P (EF-P) is chemically modified on a conserved lysine residue. EF-P is a universally conserved translation factor, which is involved ...
Earth observation for us and our planet
2012-06-22
The Rio+20 summit on promoting jobs, clean energy and a more sustainable use of our planet's resources closed today after three days of talks. During the summit, the role of Earth observation in sustainable development was highlighted.
In 1992, a blueprint to rethink economic growth, advance social equity and ensure environmental protection was adopted at the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
Now, 20 years later, the Rio+20 Summit brought participants from governments, the private sector, non-govermental organisations and other stakeholders once again to Brazil ...
New technique allows simulation of noncrystalline materials
2012-06-22
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. -- A multidisciplinary team of researchers at MIT and in Spain has found a new mathematical approach to simulating the electronic behavior of noncrystalline materials, which may eventually play an important part in new devices including solar cells, organic LED lights and printable, flexible electronic circuits.
The new method uses a mathematical technique that has not previously been applied in physics or chemistry. Even though the method uses approximations rather than exact solutions, the resulting predictions turn out to match the actual electronic ...

Prompt Proofing Blog Post: Book Review: Life of Pi by Yann Martel
2012-06-22
First published over 10 years ago, this novel was widely acclaimed and won the Man Booker Prize for Fiction in 2002. On the surface it is a fantasy adventure tale of a young man surviving more than seven months adrift in the Pacific, in the company of a 450-pound Bengal tiger.
To be fair, I should confess that I am not generally a big fan of 'castaway' novels; despite this, I found Life of Pi so intriguing that I read it one sitting, even though I was guilty of skimming a little over some of Pi's adventures while adrift in the ocean. Without wishing to give away too ...
