SHERMAN, CT, September 18, 2012 (Press-News.org) Private Communications Corporation, makers of PRIVATE WiFi, a new and innovative product in the security software market, today announced it has developed the most advanced Facebook page to date. The new Facebook page will provide consumers with a simple and sure avenue of staying informed about the dangers of using public WiFi services, all from entirely within the social network they know and love. With integrated WordPress functionality and advanced tab features, it is conveniently designed to give consumers a sense of community and engagement by allowing users to interact on topics on privacy and identity theft.
"We performed extensive research and couldn't find a company Facebook page that offered this in-depth level of detail. We are the only company to date that can provide the complete user experience - from research, information and company interaction to checkout and purchase - without users ever having to leave Facebook," said Mike Neder, vice president of Internet Marketing at PRIVATE WiFi. "At first, we didn't think putting forth a Facebook page as advanced as this was possible, but after working with our engineering team, we were able to develop a page that's so unique, user-friendly, informative and downright cool!"
Unfortunately, many consumers do not fully understand why they should be so cautious about using public WiFi. For those users, the PRIVATE WiFi's Facebook page has a Resources tab (http://www.facebook.com/privatewifi/app_421422244570476) where consumers can read about what is really in the fine print of a public WiFi disclaimer. This tab also includes a Glossary with common technical and hacker terms, a descriptive How-To section, and other valuable resources where users can learn more about the dangers of pubic WiFi networks.
The Blog tab (http://www.facebook.com/privatewifi/app_362974400438659) allows users to browse PRIVATE WiFi blog posts, which include important privacy news, compelling real-life stories of identity theft, interesting facts about public WiFi and a section with the latest company news. Users can also browse authors and contributors, search for select topics and interact with hundreds of pages via traditional Facebook comment and share functionalities. Users can comment and discuss topics, or easily share information with others - all without having to leave Facebook.
"For the benefit of our customers, we designed our Facebook page to be a useful tool with easy-to-understand information and resources about the dangers of using public WiFi and how PRIVATE WiFi can provide them with an easy and affordable solution," Neder added.
Other features include an In The Press tab, which contains the most recent media coverage of PRIVATE WiFi. The Watch Our Video tab (http://www.facebook.com/privatewifi/app_143605882373201) gives users access to PRIVATE WiFi's video collection, which includes informative videos on the risks of using unsecured WiFi hotspots as well as solutions on how to protect themselves. Consumers can even download a free trial of PRIVATE WiFi or purchase a subscription.
"One of the most common issues with other company Facebook pages is they take users away from Facebook and direct them to the company website or elsewhere on the web. It has always been important for us to continually engage with our Facebook page visitors without taking them outside of Facebook and running the risk of them losing interest," said Kent Lawson, Founder and CEO of PRIVATE WiFi. "Our new Facebook page will not only inform and educate consumers; it will allow them to engage with others while giving them access to our company, bloggers and helpful online videos all from the comfort of their own Facebook session."

Researchers identify mechanism that leads to diabetes, blindness
2012-09-17
The rare disorder Wolfram syndrome is caused by mutations in a single gene, but its effects on the body are far reaching. The disease leads to diabetes, hearing and vision loss, nerve cell damage that causes motor difficulties, and early death.
Now, researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, the Joslin Diabetes Center in Boston and the Novartis Institutes for BioMedical Research report that they have identified a mechanism related to mutations in the WFS1 gene that affects insulin-secreting beta cells. The finding will aid in the understanding ...
Drug combination against NRAS-mutant melanoma discovered
2012-09-17
HOUSTON – A new study published online in Nature Medicine, led by scientists at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, describes the discovery of a novel drug combination aimed at a subset of melanoma patients who currently have no effective therapeutic options.
Melanoma patients have different responses to therapy, depending on what genes are mutated in their tumors. About half of melanomas have a mutation in the BRAF gene; while a quarter have a mutation in the NRAS gene.
New BRAF inhibitor drugs are effective against BRAF-mutant melanoma, but no comparable ...
Young researcher on the trail of herbal snakebite antidote
2012-09-17
A PhD student at the University of Copenhagen has drawn on nature's own pharmacy to help improve the treatment of snakebites in Africa.
Marianne Molander from the University of Copenhagen's Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences has been working within a Danish team that has examined various plants native to the African continent in a bid to find locally available herbal antidotes.
"Snake venom antidotes are expensive, it's often a long way to the nearest doctor and it can be difficult to store the medicine properly in the warm climate. As a result many local people ...
No increased risk of cancer for people with shingles
2012-09-17
Herpes zoster, or shingles, does not increase the risk of cancer in the general population, according to a study in CMAJ (Canadian Medical Association Journal).
Although herpes zoster is more common in patients with cancer than in those without, it is unknown whether the risk of cancer is increased for people with herpes zoster. Several studies have indicated an association although most were conducted in western countries.
A large study of 35 871 patients in Taiwan with newly diagnosed herpes zoster found no increased risk of cancer in patients with herpes zoster.

Adequate sleep helps weight loss
2012-09-17
Adequate sleep is an important part of a weight loss plan and should be added to the recommended mix of diet and exercise, states a commentary in CMAJ (Canadian Medical Association Journal).
Although calorie restriction and increased physical activity are recommended for weight loss, there is significant evidence that inadequate sleep is contributing to obesity. Lack of sleep increases the stimulus to consume more food and increases appetite-regulating hormones.
"The solution [to weight loss] is not as simple as 'eat less, move more, sleep more,'" write Drs. Jean-Phillippe ...
Canada needs approach to combat elder abuse
2012-09-17
Canada needs a comprehensive approach to reduce elder abuse that includes financial supports and programs for seniors and their caregivers, argues an editorial in CMAJ (Canadian Medical Association Journal).
In Canada, an estimated 4% of seniors — 200 000 to 500 000 people — experience some form of abuse or neglect.
"The broader solution lies in a more comprehensive approach that requires the support of government and the Canadian health care system," writes Barbara Sibbald, deputy editor, CMAJ with Jayna Holroyd-Leduc, associate professor, Geriatric Medicine Section, ...

A non-invasive method to track Huntington's disease progression
Huntington's disease is a fatal, inherited neurodegenerative disorder caused by a mutation in the gene encoding huntingtin. Expresion of mutant huntingtin (mHTT) protein is correlated with the onset and progression of the disease and new therapies are being developed to reduce the expression of mHTT. In order to evaluate these new therapies, researchers need to be able to quantify the amount of mHTT in a particular patient; however, non-invasive quantification of mHTT isn't currently possible. In this issue ...

Scientists reveal how natural antibiotic kills tuberculosis bacterium
2012-09-17
HEIDELBERG, 17 September 2012 – A natural product secreted by a soil bacterium shows promise as a new drug to treat tuberculosis report scientists in a new study published in EMBO Molecular Medicine. A team of scientists working in Switzerland has shown how pyridomycin, a natural antibiotic produced by the bacterium Dactylosporangium fulvum, works. This promising drug candidate is active against many of the drug-resistant types of the tuberculosis bacterium that no longer respond to treatment with the front-line drug isoniazid.
"Nature and evolution have equipped some ...
