YARDLEY, PA, July 18, 2012 (Press-News.org) LifeShield Security is pleased to announce the success of its month-long partnership with The Yellow Ribbon Club, an organization of volunteers providing care packages and support for service men and women in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Throughout the month of July, LifeShield has been donating money for every new "like" on its Facebook page, and each new review submitted by a LifeShield user. Larger donations have also been made for every new LifeShield system ordered plus 10% of the cost of all LifeShield accessories purchased. Now at the halfway mark, Facebook "likes" have climbed to nearly 700, as have product reviews and purchases - all in the name of supporting our needy military.
As an added incentive, LifeShield is encouraging customers and site visitors to nominate a deserving military family to receive a free home security system and six months of free monitoring. Email nominations to mylifeshieldstory@lifeshield.com should include a family bio and picture. Flash contest submissions will be accepted starting July 18th through the 22nd.
From July 23-29, LifeShield will then profile three family stories on its website where visitors can vote on the story that they think deserves the prize. The family with the most social shares wins!
"Because July kicks off with a celebration of Independence Day and that patriotic feeling stays with people throughout the month, LifeShield decided we'd do something this year to support our military men and women abroad who are dedicated to protecting us and keeping us safe here at home - a sentiment we understand quite well," said Shannon Dominello, CMO, LifeShield. "We are honored to partner with The Yellow Ribbon Club, a well respected organization that demonstrates a sincere commitment to military and their families during their time of need. We hope customers and others will continue help to spread the word because the more people who participate in our fund raising efforts through July 31st, the bigger the donation we make!"

Mayo Clinic maps brain, finds Alzheimer's patients drive differently
2012-07-17
ROCHESTER, Minn. -- Activity lingers longer in certain areas of the brain in those with Alzheimer's than it does in healthy people, Mayo Clinic researchers who created a map of the brain found. The results suggest varying brain activity may reduce the risk of Alzheimer's disease. The study, "Non-stationarity in the "Resting Brain's" Modular Architecture," was presented at the Alzheimer's Association International Conference and recently published in the journal PLoS One.
Researchers compared brain activity to a complex network, with multiple objects sharing information ...
Researchers develop new method for identifying lung nodules
2012-07-17
DENVER – Pulmonary nodules are common, but few studies of lung nodule identification and clinical evaluation have been performed in community settings. Researchers from Kaiser Permanente Southern California identified 7,112 patients who had one or more nodules by using existing information within the electronic medical record.
Their study presented in the August 2012 issue of the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer's (IASLC) Journal of Thoracic Oncology, showed how researchers developed and implemented a new method for identifying lung nodules in community-based ...

Copper's previously unknown exit strategy
2012-07-17
Scientists have long known that the body rids itself of excess copper and various other minerals by collecting them in the liver and excreting them through the liver's bile. However, a new study led by Johns Hopkins researchers and published June 22 in PLoS ONE suggests that when this route is impaired there's another exit route just for copper: A molecule sequesters only that mineral and routes it from the body through urine.
The researchers, led by Svetlana Lutsenko, Ph.D., a professor of physiology at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, found this additional ...

1. Trans Fat Restrictions Result in Healthier Fast Food Meals for NYC Residents
Reduction in Trans Fat Consumption Can Reduce Cardiovascular Disease Risk
(Sound bites and b-roll footage available. See bottom of page for feed dates, times, and coordinates)
Trans fat, such as partially hydrogenated oil, is a mostly processed form of fat that significantly increases risk for coronary heart disease. Just 40 calories of trans fat a day can increase risk for heart disease by up to 23 percent. In 2006 New York City issued unprecedented restrictions on the use of trans fats ...
Amnestic mild cognitive impairment doubles risk of death
2012-07-17
July 16, 2012 – (BRONX, NY) – Researchers at Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University and Montefiore Medical Center have found that people with a form of mild cognitive impairment (MCI), a risk factor for developing Alzheimer's disease, have twice the risk of dying compared with cognitively normal people. Those with dementia have three times the risk. The findings are being presented at the Alzheimer's Association International Conference in Vancouver this week.
Amnestic MCI is a condition in which people have memory problems more severe than normal for ...
New research shows that coastal populations are healthier than those inland
2012-07-17
A new study from the European Centre for Environment & Human Health, Peninsula College of Medicine and Dentistry, University of Exeter, has revealed that people living near the coast tend to have better health than those living inland.
Researchers from the Centre used data from the UK's census to examine how health varied across the country, finding that people were more likely to have good health the closer they live to the sea. The analysis also showed that the link between living near the coast and good health was strongest in the most economically deprived communities.
The ...

A new target in acute myeloid leukemia | Back to top
Acute myeloid leukemia, a common leukemia in adults, is characterized by aberrant proliferation of cancerous bone marrow cells. Activating mutations in a protein receptor known as FLT3 receptor are among the most prevalent mutations observed in acute myeloid leukemias. FLT3 mutants are thought to activate several signaling pathways that contribute to cancer development. Dr. Daniel Tenen and colleagues from Harvard University in Boston discovered a new pathway activated by FLT3 mutation. Their results show ...
