WASHINGTON, DC, January 11, 2013 (Press-News.org) Nicaragua was recently featured in the World's Top 10 Retirement Havens for 2013, published by the Huffington Post. According to the article, Granada, one of the country's tourism hotspots, was ranked number 8 among the best, the most comfortable, the most affordable, the most convenient, and the most rewarding spots worldwide for retirement in 2013.
Kathleen Peddicord, Publisher of Live and Invest Oversees, mentioned that "geographically, Nicaragua is blessed, with two long coastlines and two big lakes, plus volcanoes, highlands, rain forest and rivers", adding that in this regard "it's got everything Costa Rica and Panama have got, all less discovered and developed and available for the adventurer and eco-traveler at bargain rates".
Nicaragua has been a trending topic among various international media in 2013, as it was also featured in International Living as one of the top 22 retirement destinations in the world in its 2013 Retirement Index. The ranking that placed the country in the 12th position, took into consideration eight crucial categories: real estate, special retirement benefits, cost of living, ease of integration, entertainment and amenities, health care, retirement infrastructure and climate.
Additionally, NBC's Today Show named Nicaragua one of the hottest travel destinations for this year. Kate Maxwell, Editor in Chief of the travel website Jetsetter.com, during her interview with the Today Show, highlighted the country's many natural unspoiled resources, cheap prices and safety.
The country not only offers an excellent quality of life, but also tranquility and peace of mind to visitors. A recent poll by CID Gallup Latin America showcases Nicaragua as the Central American country with the lowest levels of criminality in the region, including Panama and the Dominican Republic. This poll comes to confirm the high levels of safety in Nicaragua that have been recognized by institutions such as the Economist Intelligence Unit in its 2012 Security Risk Report, ranking the country among the safest in Latin America. Nicaragua also holds the lowest homicide rates in Central America in 2011, 12 for every 100,000 inhabitants, well below the Latin American average of 26, according to the United Nations.

Neurologists describe most feared and devastating strokes
2013-01-10
MAYWOOD, Il. - Among the most feared and devastating strokes are ones caused by blockages in the brain's critical basilar artery system. When not fatal, basilar artery strokes can cause devastating deficits, including head-to-toe paralysis called "locked-in syndrome."
However, a minority of patients can have good outcomes, especially with new MRI technologies and time-sensitive treatments. These treatments include the clot-busting drug tissue plasminogen activator (tPA), and various new-generation neurothrombectomy devices, according to a review article in MedLink Neurology ...
Study quantifies the size of holes antibacterials create in cell walls to kill bacteria
2013-01-10
The rise of antibiotic-resistant bacteria has initiated a quest for alternatives to conventional antibiotics. One potential alternative is PlyC, a potent enzyme that kills the bacteria that causes strep throat and streptococcal toxic shock syndrome. PlyC operates by locking onto the surface of a bacteria cell and chewing a hole in the cell wall large enough for the bacteria's inner membrane to protrude from the cell, ultimately causing the cell to burst and die.
Research has shown that alternative antimicrobials such as PlyC can effectively kill bacteria. However, fundamental ...
Study provides new clues for designing an effective HIV vaccine
2013-01-10
New insights into how a promising HIV vaccine works are provided in a study published by Cell Press January 10th in the journal Immunity. By analyzing the structure of antibody-virus complexes produced in vaccine recipients, the researchers have revealed how the vaccine triggers immune responses that could fight HIV-1 infection. The study could help guide efforts to increase the vaccine's production, which currently is not high enough for clinical use.
"This is the first comprehensive study of the repertoire of antibodies that were induced by an HIV vaccine and were ...
Study points to a safer, better test for chromosomal defects in the fetus
2013-01-10
A noninvasive, sequencing-based approach for detecting chromosomal abnormalities in the developing fetus is safer and more informative in some cases than traditional methods, according to a study published by Cell Press January 10th in The American Journal of Human Genetics. This method, which analyzes fetal DNA in the mother's blood, could provide women with a cost-effective way to find out whether their unborn baby will have major developmental problems without risking a miscarriage.
"Our study is the first to show that almost all the information that is available from ...
Regulating single protein prompts fibroblasts to become neurons
2013-01-10
Repression of a single protein in ordinary fibroblasts is sufficient to directly convert the cells – abundantly found in connective tissues – into functional neurons. The findings, which could have far-reaching implications for the development of new treatments for neurodegenerative diseases like Huntington's, Parkinson's and Alzheimer's, will be published online in advance of the January 17 issue of the journal Cell.
In recent years, scientists have dramatically advanced the ability to induce pluripotent stem cells to become almost any type of cell, a major step in ...
Next steps in potential stem cell therapy for diabetes
2013-01-10
Type 1 and type 2 diabetes results when beta cells in the pancreas fail to produce enough insulin, the hormone that regulates blood sugar. One approach to treating diabetes is to stimulate regeneration of new beta cells.
There are currently two ways of generating endocrine cells (cell types, such as beta cells, that secrete hormones) from human embryonic stem cells, or hESCs: either generating the cells in vitro in culture or transplanting immature endocrine cell precursors into mice.
Researchers from the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine, collaborating ...
New insights into HIV vaccine will improve drug development
2013-01-10
DURHAM, N.C. – Four years ago, a potential HIV vaccine showed promise against the virus that causes AIDS, but it fell short of providing the broad protection necessary to stem the spread of disease.
Now researchers -- led by Duke Medicine and including team members from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases of the National Institutes of Health, the U.S. Military HIV Research Program and the Thailand Ministry of Health -- have gained additional insights into the workings of the vaccine that help explain why it benefited a third of recipients and left ...
