NEW YORK, NY, June 22, 2012 (Press-News.org) The Wall Street Journal reports that On The Line has released the nominees for the first Big Daddy Awards. A campaign created to raise awareness about prostate cancer, On The Line has nominated top celebrities across 33 categories. The award show, which airs on the Internet the day after Father's day, is expected to generate a great deal of interest. Dr. Jesse Stoff, who has conducted a large amount of research regarding prostate cancer, applauds the creative efforts of this project.
The nominees that have been chosen are all celebrities who represent a variety of categories within the public sphere. From actors to politicians, these nominees touch on enough interests to engage a wide audience. According to the aforementioned article, some of the nominees include: Brad Pitt, Jay-Z, David Beckham, Bono, President Obama, Mario Batali, Clint Eastwood, Cee Lo Green, LeBron James, Donald Trump, Andy Griffith, Bill Cosby, Ray Romano, George Lopez, and Arnold Palmer, among others.
Michael Burg, a cancer survivor and major player in the organization of the event, stated, "Bringing a touch of entertainment and humor together during a time that celebrates dads is really rewarding. Our ultimate goal is to rally the public to help find a cure for a disease that strikes one out of every six men."
In addition to participating by voting for the winners of the Big Daddy Awards, viewers can donate funds to On The Line. The article suggests that a donation in the name of a loved one is a wonderful way to celebrate Father's Day.
"Although prostate cancer is usually a relatively slower growing cancer," commented Jesse Stoff, "nearly one in six men will develop this disease. This translates into 192,280 new cases of prostate cancer in the United States in 2009, of which about 28,170 men will die of the disease. Given the seriousness of this cancer, it is wonderful to see events like the Big Daddy Awards to raise public awareness of the extent of the problem and to raise funds for further research. New, promising immunologically based therapies for prostate cancer have come about because of events like this and I look forward to seeing many more like them."
Dr. Jesse Stoff and On The Line hope that this event calls attention to the importance of prostate cancer awareness.

AGU: Elephant seals help uncover slower-than-expected Antarctic melting
2012-06-22
WASHINGTON - Don't let the hobbling, wobbling, and blubber fool you into thinking elephant
seals are merely sluggish sun bathers. In fact, scientists are benefiting from these seals'
surprisingly lengthy migrations to determine critical information about Antarctic melting and
future sea level rise.
A team of scientists have drilled holes through an Antarctic ice shelf, the Fimbul Ice Shelf, to
gather the first direct measurements regarding melting of the shelf's underside. A group of
elephant seals, outfitted with sensors that measure salinity, temperature, ...
Study examines use of a natural language processing tool for electronic health records in assessing colonoscopy quality
2012-06-22
OAK BROOK, Ill. – JUNE 21, 2012 – A new study shows that natural language processing programs can "read" dictated reports and provide information to allow measurement of colonoscopy quality in an inexpensive, automated and efficient manner. The quality variation observed in the study within a single academic hospital system reinforces the need for routine quality measurement. The study appears in the June issue of GIE: Gastrointestinal Endoscopy, the monthly peer-reviewed scientific journal of the American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ASGE).

Exercise program improved health of lung transplant patients and cut cardiovascular risk
2012-06-22
Lung transplant patients who took part in a three-month structured exercise program when they were discharged from hospital improved their health-related quality of life and reduced their risk of cardiovascular problems.
Those are the key findings of research published in the American Journal of Transplantation.
"People who have received lung transplants often have weak muscles and limited endurance due to their sedentary lifestyle before their transplant and the drugs they need to take after surgery," explains lead author Dr. Daniel Langer, a Belgian expert in respiratory ...
Task force recommends new lung cancer screening guidelines
2012-06-22
Boston – A lung screening and surveillance task force, established by the American Association for Thoracic Surgery (AATS) and led by medical professionals from Brigham and Women's Hospital (BWH), is strongly recommending new guidelines for lung cancer screening. The guidelines were published this week in the online edition of the Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery (JTCVS).
Recent research has shown low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) is beneficial in reducing deaths from lung cancer. So the AATS task force recommends an annual lung cancer screening using ...

A new model to understand the supertasting phenomenon
2012-06-22
Supertasting describes the ability to strongly detect food flavors such as bitter and sweet, and it can affect a person's food preferences. For example, supertasters are often averse to green vegetables because their bitter taste is amplified. Supertasters may also prefer foods lower in sugar and fat. Approximately one out of four people is a supertaster, and a supertaster's avoidance of sweet and fatty foods may have protective cardiovascular effects.
Christopher Nosrat and colleagues at the University of Tennessee Health Science Center and the Monell Chemical Senses ...
Stopping and starting cancer cell cycle weakens and defeats multiple myeloma
2012-06-22
NEW YORK (June 21, 2012) — Weill Cornell Medical College researchers have devised an innovative boxer-like strategy, based on the serial use of two anti-cancer drugs, to deliver a one-two punch to first weaken the defenses of multiple myeloma and then deliver the final knock-out punch to win the fight.
The study, published online by the journal Blood, is the first to show that precise timing of therapies that target a cancer cell's cycle — the life phases leading to its division and replication — disables key survival genes, resulting in cell death. The drug that delivers ...
Our Nomophobic Youth - Mobiles, the New Drink Driving
2012-06-22
Young drivers are heeding the safety messages around speeding and driving under the influence, but are putting other drivers at risk by fiddling with their phones while behind the wheel, according to new research from leading auto insurer AAMI.
The 11th AAMI Young Drivers Index revealed that young drivers performed better in almost all of the 'traditional' risky driving behaviour indicators, but they are the most likely to be distracted by their mobile phone, GPS unit, iPod, radio or CD player.
AAMI spokesperson, Reuben Aitchison, said that that 'Nomophoboia' - a ...
Extensive water in Mars' interior
2012-06-22
Washington, D.C.—Until now, Earth was the only planet known to have vast reservoirs of water in its interior. Scientists analyzed the water content of two Martian meteorites originating from inside the Red Planet. They found that the amount of water in places of the Martian mantle is vastly larger than previous estimates and is similar to that of Earth's. The results not only affect what we know about the geologic history of Mars, but also have implications for how water got to the Martian surface. The data raise the possibility that Mars could have sustained life.
