BIRKIRKARA, MALTA, April 06, 2013 (Press-News.org) The news follows last week's announcement that the firm is launching a six-month strategic review of its global business model, in which it will analyse ongoing client and regulatory trends, to further enhance its market-leading position.
The deVere Group's chief executive, Nigel Green, says: "The European marketplace, in terms of taxation and regulation, is changing and we're committed to evolving with it in order to consistently achieve the results-driven service our clients rightly expect from the deVere Group.
"As such, we're to strategically expand our interests in the key areas of the UK, Germany and Spain whilst withdrawing from the Portuguese and Belgian markets, which represent a small and decreasing part of our business, in order to best meet the needs of our clients, moving forward."
Mike Coady, deVere Group director, adds: "We feel our qualified and appropriately licensed financial advisers in the UK, would now be better placed to help our clients in Portugal and Belgium reach their long-term financial objectives.
"By consolidating our European operations in this way, we'll be able to offer an enhanced level of protection and service, a wider range of advice, and a more comprehensive choice of products.
"This restructuring measure will, in addition, further strengthen our European operations and we fully expect to double our European presence over the next three years."
deVere Group maintains that its offices in other European countries would not be affected by today's announcement.

River dolphins use lower pitch sonar signals than marine dolphins, whales
2013-04-05
Freshwater dolphins use echolocation signals that are quieter, more low-pitched and more frequent than those used by their marine counterparts, according to research published March 27 in the open access journal PLOS ONE by Frants Havmand Jensen from Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution and colleagues.
All toothed whales use bio-sonar signals to navigate and find prey, but the echolocation signals of marine animals are better understood than those used by endangered river dolphins. In this study, the authors recorded the signals of two endangered freshwater dolphin species ...
Counting copy numbers characterizes prostate cancer
2013-04-05
Non-invasive 'liquid biopsies' can find metastatic or recurrent prostate cancer, in a low cost assay suitable for most healthcare systems, finds research published in BioMed Central's open access journal Genome Medicine. Genomic signatures of prostate cancer, isolated from plasma DNA, display abnormal copy numbers of specific areas of chromosomes. It is even possible to separate out patients who develop resistance against hormone deprivation therapy, which is the most common form of treatment in men with metastatic prostate cancer.
Prostate cancer is the most common cancer ...
Cancer checkpoint
2013-04-05
Healthy cells don't just happen. As they grow and divide, they need checks and balances to ensure they function properly while adapting to changing conditions around them.
Researchers studying a set of proteins that regulate physiology, caloric restriction and aging have discovered another important role that one of them plays. SIRT4, one of seven sirtuin proteins, is known for controlling fuel usage from its post in the mitochondria, the cell's energy source. It responds to stressful changes in the availability of nutrients for the cell.
New research reveals that SIRT4 ...
Penn Study finds virtual colonoscopy is used appropriately, may expand screening to more patients
2013-04-05
PHILADELPHIA – In 2009, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) halted reimbursement for so-called "virtual colonoscopy" for routine colon-cancer screening in asymptomatic patients, in part due to concerns over how this procedure, computed tomography colonography (CTC), was being used in the elderly population. In the first study to examine appropriate utilization of the test among asymptomatic Medicare beneficiaries from 2007 to 2008, a research team from the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania found that CTC was used appropriately ...
Public support can influence soldiers' mental health: Study
2013-04-05
Can events like Red Fridays, Tickets for Troops and the yellow ribbon campaign reduce the chances of Canadian soldiers experiencing combat-related stress disorders? The authors of a new study from the University of Alberta think so.
David Webber, a PhD student in the U of A's Department of Psychology, and his supervisor Jeff Schimel recently published a paper in Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin, positing that the level of public support for a war could influence the level of mental distress combatants feel when they arrive home, potentially leading to a heightened ...
Barrow researchers identify
2013-04-05
(Phoenix, AZ April 4, 2013) -- Brain researchers at Barrow Neurological Institute have discovered that we explore the world with our eyes in a different way than previously thought. Their results advance our understanding of how healthy observers and neurological patients interact and glean critical information from the world around them.
The research team was led by Dr. Susana Martinez-Conde, Director of the Laboratory of Visual Neuroscience at Barrow, in collaboration with fellow Barrow Neurological Institute researchers Jorge Otero-Millan, Rachel Langston, and Dr. ...
Study links suicide risk with rates of gun ownership, political conservatism
2013-04-05
RIVERSIDE, Calif. – Residents of states with the highest rates of gun ownership and political conservatism are at greater risk of suicide than those in states with less gun ownership and less politically conservative leanings, according to a study by University of California, Riverside sociology professor Augustine J. Kposowa.
The study, "Association of suicide rates, gun ownership, conservatism and individual suicide risk," was published online in the journal Social Psychiatry & Psychiatric Epidemiology in February.
Suicide was the 11th leading cause of death for all ...

Remote reefs can be tougher than they look
Western Australia's Scott Reef has recovered from mass bleaching in 1998.
Isolated coral reefs can recover from catastrophic damage as effectively as those with nearby undisturbed neighbours, a long-term study by marine biologists from the Australian Institute of Marine Science (AIMS) and the ARC Centre of Excellence for Coral Reef Studies (CoECRS) has shown.
Scott Reef, a remote coral system in the Indian Ocean, has largely recovered from a catastrophic mass bleaching event in 1998, according to the study published in Science ...
Fecal microbial transplantation found to be possible treatment
2013-04-05
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., April 4, 2013 – A Spectrum Health clinical trial has found that fecal microbial transplantation (FMT) has resulted in the improvement or absence of symptoms in most pediatric patients with active ulcerative colitis.
The phase I clinical trial of the procedure was conducted by members of the Pediatric Specialty Department of the Spectrum Health Medical Group at Helen DeVos Children's Hospital, the first in the country to study FMT in children. FMT is a process that involves infusion of human stool from a healthy donor into the intestine of the patient ...
Skin deep: Fruit flies reveal clues to wound healing in humans
2013-04-05
Washington, D.C. – (April 5, 2013) — A person's skin and a fruit fly's exoskeleton, called a "cuticle" may not look alike, but both coverings protect against injury, infection, and dehydration. The top layers of mammalian skin and insect cuticle are mesh-works of macromolecules, the mammal version consisting mostly of keratin proteins and the fly version predominantly of the carbohydrate chitin. Yet the requirement of an outer boundary for protection is so ancient that the outermost cells of both organisms respond to some of the same signals. And because of these signaling ...
