Raising your credit score after bankruptcy: it CAN be done

2013-02-24

Raising your credit score after bankruptcy: it CAN be done Bankruptcy protection is designed as a lifeline for those struggling with unmanageable debt. It offers protection from litigation, a halt to legal recoupment proceedings (like foreclosure or repossession), keeps valued personal assets in the family and can help a struggling business stay afloat. The decision to file for bankruptcy should not be made lightly, but in the right circumstances, bankruptcy can be a valuable tool to get out from under a mountain of debt. That is why it is extremely important to speak ...

Train accident focuses attention on rail crossing safety in Connecticut

Train accident focuses attention on rail crossing safety in Connecticut In late December 2012, a car carrying four passengers from Danbury was struck by a train in Redding, Connecticut, resulting in serious injuries and two fatalities. The accident demonstrates the risk of injury presented to drivers at railroad crossings, even with warning devices, which do not always protect against dangerous car accidents. Connecticut train crash statistics According to Operation Lifesaver Connecticut, an organization that works with the Connecticut Department of Transportation ...

Race linked to childhood food allergies, not environmental allergies

2013-02-23

DETROIT – Research conducted at Henry Ford Hospital shows that race and possibly genetics play a role in children's sensitivity to developing allergies. Researchers found: African-American children were sensitized to at least one food allergen three times more often than Caucasian children. African-American children with one allergic parent were sensitized to an environmental allergen twice as often as African-American children without an allergic parent. The study will be presented Saturday at the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology annual meeting, ...

Watching molecules grow into microtubes

2013-02-23

Newswise — Sometimes the best discoveries come by accident. A team of researchers at Washington University in St. Louis, headed by Srikanth Singamaneni, PhD, assistant professor of mechanical engineering & materials science, unexpectedly found the mechanism by which tiny single molecules spontaneously grow into centimeter-long microtubes by leaving a dish for a different experiment in the refrigerator. Once Singamaneni and his research team, including Abdennour Abbas, PhD, a former postdoctoral researcher at Washington University, Andrew Brimer, a senior undergraduate ...

Lessons from cockroaches could inform robotics

2013-02-23

ANN ARBOR—Running cockroaches start to recover from being shoved sideways before their dawdling nervous system kicks in to tell their legs what to do, researchers have found. These new insights on how biological systems stabilize could one day help engineers design steadier robots and improve doctors' understanding of human gait abnormalities. In experiments, the roaches were able to maintain their footing mechanically—using their momentum and the spring-like architecture of their legs, rather than neurologically, relying on impulses sent from their central nervous system ...

UNC-led study documents head and neck cancer molecular tumor subtypes

2013-02-23

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. - Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is the seventh most common form of cancer in the United States, but other than an association with the human papillomavirus, no validated molecular profile of the disease has been established. By analyzing data from DNA microarrays, a UNC-led team has completed a study that confirms the presence of four molecular classes of the disease and extends previous results by suggesting that there may be an underlying connection between the molecular classes and observed genomic events, some of which affect known ...

Reprogramming cells to fight diabetes

2013-02-23

PHILADELPHIA – For years researchers have been searching for a way to treat diabetics by reactivating their insulin-producing beta cells, with limited success. The "reprogramming" of related alpha cells into beta cells may one day offer a novel and complementary approach for treating type 2 diabetes. Treating human and mouse cells with compounds that modify cell nuclear material called chromatin induced the expression of beta cell genes in alpha cells, according to a new study that appears online in the Journal of Clinical Investigation. "This would be a win-win situation ...
