Saga of the Unwritten War Diary by Salvatore Robert Froio

A new novel by Salvatore Robert Froio

2012-10-09

HALLAND, SWEDEN, October 09, 2012 (Press-News.org) The inspiration to Salvatore Robert Froio's latest novel comes from an actual experience he had when he was nine years old. He watched the troop trains go by on the outskirts of Boston, bringing back soldiers from the Second World War. It was exiting to pick up the souvenirs that the troops threw to the kids from the train. Many years later, after serving in the military, he came to a conclusion that there are no winners from wars, only losers.

The story begins just before the First World War in Germany. We follow Siegfried immigrating to the U.S. where he starts his own family in Hermann, Missouri. Years later his son Fabian becomes a Nazi soldier impersonating an American at the Battle of the Bulge. It is his diary that a young boy Thomas picks up as a souvenir thrown out from the troop train. In the late fifties Thomas becomes obsessed with the diary and is determined to uncover the secrets of it.

How BYOD Could Affect Business Network Security

2012-10-09

It's obvious that there are significant cost savings associated with employees using their own smartphones, tablets and laptops for work. However, the downsides are numerous and worth considering says Dominic Jones of Barton Technology, http://www.barttech.co.uk, "by not having to buy smartphones, laptops and tablets, the hardware costs are significantly reduced and, in this economy, that's a strong incentive for many companies. From a logistics point of view, a multitude of devices are hard to support and manage, as you often can't make the same app work on all platforms." The ...

Why wine and tea pair so well with a meal: It's all in the mouthfeel

2012-10-08

Of course a nice glass of wine goes well with a hearty steak, and now researchers who study the way food feels in our mouths think they may understand why that is: The astringent wine and fatty meat are like the yin and yang of the food world, sitting on opposite ends of a sensory spectrum. The findings, reported in the October 9th issue of Current Biology, a Cell Press publication, offer a whole new definition of the balanced meal. They also offer a new way of thinking about our eating habits, both good and bad. "The mouth is a magnificently sensitive somatosensory ...

Sinusitis: Leaving a bad taste in your mouth The immune system protects the upper respiratory tract from bacterial infections, but the cues that alert the immune system to the presence of bacteria are not known. In this issue of the Journal of Clinical Investigation, researchers led by Noam Cohen at the University of Pennsylvania demonstrated that the bitter taste receptor T2R38 regulates the immune defense of the human upper airway. Cohen and colleagues found that T2R38 was expressed in the cells that line the upper respiratory tract and could be activated by molecules ...

Endotrophin links obesity to breast cancer progression

2012-10-08

Fat cells (adipocytes) surround breast tumors and contribute to tumor growth by expressing factors that aid oncogenesis. Col6 is a protein that is highly expressed in adipocytes and its expression is further increased in both obesity and in breast cancer cells. In this issue of the Journal of Clinical Investigation, Phillip Scherer and Jiyoung Park of the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center report that a portion of the Col6 protein, known as endotrophin, alters the tumor environment to promote tumor growth and metastasis in mice. Mice with reduced endotrophin ...

Use of fresh red blood cells for transfusions for premature infants does not improve outcomes

2012-10-08

CHICAGO – Among premature, very low-birth-weight infants requiring a transfusion, use of fresh red blood cells (RBCs) compared with standard RBC transfusion practice did not improve clinical outcomes that included rates of complications or death, according to a study in the October 10 issue of JAMA. The study is being published early online to coincide with its presentation at the AABB (formerly the American Association of Blood Banks) Annual Meeting. "Although RBC transfusions are used routinely in acutely ill patients, including those in neonatal intensive care units, ...

Fresh blood not better, clinical trial shows

2012-10-08

October 8, 2012, Ottawa — In a finding that runs counter to commonly held beliefs about fresh being better, a clinical trial published today by the Journal of the American Medical Association shows that acutely ill premature babies who received fresher blood did not fare better than those who received the current standard of care. There was no difference between the two approaches with respect to major organ injury, mortality and infection. "Before now, most of the literature on the subject suggested that fresh red blood cells are better," says lead author Dr. Dean Fergusson, ...
