2013-04-07

DENVER, CO, April 07, 2013 (Press-News.org) Too many excellent initiatives fail because people don't know how to manage the process of change effectively. With the Change Pro Simulation, you can improve your rate of success. To become a certified facilitator of the Change Pro Simulation, join BMGI in this two-day course coming up in June:

Change Pro Certification Course
June 18-19 in Denver

What Is the Change Pro Simulation?
It's a proven method for organizations to develop the knowledge and experience their managers need to effectively manage change. Participants must convince 24 managers in a division to support the latest corporate initiative in 120 days or less. With no hierarchical power, they'll rely on 25 tactics to gain support.

Why Does Change Pro Work?
Throughout the simulation, participants learn about:
- The importance of sequencing and timing, and of utilizing formal and informal networks.
- How to use stakeholder analysis to target their approach to a stakeholder's style and priorities.
- The change journey and moving people from awareness to adoption.

Why Gain Certification?
As a certificated Change Pro facilitator, you can incorporate the simulation into your own training and coaching plans. The course includes your first user license for running the Change Pro simulation. Additional licenses can be purchased as you need them.

Join us in June and accelerate your organization's ability to manage change successfully. Learn more online or contact us at info.us@bmgi.com.

Flies model a potential sweet treatment for Parkinson's disease

2013-04-06

Washington, D.C. – (April 6, 2013) — Researchers from Tel Aviv University describe experiments that could lead to a new approach for treating Parkinson's disease (PD) using a common sweetener, mannitol. This research is presented today at the Genetics Society of America's 54th Annual Drosophila Research Conference in Washington D.C., April 3-7, 2013. Mannitol is a sugar alcohol familiar as a component of sugar-free gum and candies. Originally isolated from flowering ash, mannitol is believed to have been the "manna" that rained down from the heavens in biblical times. ...

Barrow researchers identify new vision of how we explore our world

2013-04-06

(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. ...

Highly lethal Ebola virus has diagnostic Achilles' heel for biothreat detection, scientists say

2013-04-06

By screening a library of a billion llama antibodies on live Ebola viruses in the Texas Biomedical Research Institute's highest biocontainment laboratory, scientists in San Antonio have identified a potential weakness in the make-up of these deadly agents that can immediately yield a sensitive test. "Detecting single viral protein components can be challenging, especially at very low levels. However, most viruses are repetitive assemblies of a few components, called antigens, with some existing as polymers which present highly 'avid' targets for antibodies," said Texas ...

Treatments, not prevention, dominate diabetes research

2013-04-06

DURHAM, NC – Research for diabetes is far more focused on drug therapies than preventive measures, and tends to exclude children and older people who have much to gain from better disease management, according to a Duke Medicine study. By analyzing nearly 2,500 diabetes-related trials registered in ClinicalTrials.gov from 2007-10, the authors provide a broad overview of the research landscape for diabetes. The effort is part of the Clinical Trials Transformation Initiative, a public-private partnership founded by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and Duke University ...

Diabetes trials worldwide are not addressing key issues in affected populations

2013-04-06

An analysis of diabetes trials worldwide has found they are not addressing key issues relating to the condition with almost two thirds focusing on drug therapy while only one in ten addresses prevention or behavioural therapies. The research is published in Diabetologia, the journal of the European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD), and is by Dr Jennifer Green, Duke University Medical Center, Durham, NC, USA, and colleagues. There are an estimated 371 million people with diabetes in the world. By 2030, there will be some 550 million with diabetes based on current ...

Huge disparities in hypertension seen across US counties

2013-04-06

SEATTLE – One in five Americans are completely unaware that they are at risk for the second leading cause of premature death: high blood pressure. In the first ever analysis of awareness, treatment, and control of hypertension for every county, the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) at the University of Washington revealed significant differences across the US. The study found the largest burden of hypertension in the southeast, the lowest prevalence in Colorado, and differences among genders, ethnic groups and geographies. But despite high prevalence ...

Electron conflict leads to 'bad traffic' on way to superconductivity

2013-04-06

HOUSTON -- (April 5, 2013) -- Rice University physicists on the hunt for the origins of high-temperature superconductivity have published new findings this week about a seemingly contradictory state in which a material simultaneously exhibits the conflicting characteristics of both a metallic conductor and an insulator. In a theoretical analysis this week in Physical Review Letters (PRL), Rice physicists Qimiao Si and Rong Yu offer an explanation for a strange series of observations described earlier this year by researchers at the Stanford Linear Accelerator ...

Stem cells enable personalized treatment for bleeding disorder

2013-04-06

Scientists have shed light on a common bleeding disorder by growing and analysing stem cells from patients' blood to discover the cause of the disease in individual patients. The technique may enable doctors to prescribe more effective treatments according to the defects identified in patients' cells. In future, this approach could go much further: these same cells could be grown, manipulated, and applied as treatments for diseases of the heart, blood and circulation, including heart attacks and haemophilia. The study focused on von Willebrand disease (vWD), which ...

Liver transplantation for patients with genetic liver conditions has high survival rate

2013-04-06

Chicago (April 5, 2013): Patients faced with the diagnosis of a life-threatening liver disease have to consider the seriousness of having a liver transplant, which can be a definitive cure for many acquired and genetic liver diseases. Among the main considerations are the anxiety of waiting for a donor organ, the risks associated with the transplant operation, and the chance that the transplant procedure will not achieve the desired result. There is also the six-figure cost of the procedure and accompanying patient care, all of which may not be completely covered by health ...

SFU researchers help unlock pine beetle's Pandora's box

2013-04-06

Twenty researchers — more than half of them Simon Fraser University graduates and/or faculty — could become eastern Canada's knights in shining white lab coats. A paper detailing their newly created sequencing of the mountain pine beetle's (MPB) genome will be gold in the hands of scientists trying to stem the beetle's invasion into eastern forests. The journal Genome Biology has published the paper. "We know a lot about how beetle infestations can devastate forests, just as the mountain pine beetle has been doing to B.C.'s lodgepole pines," says Christopher Keeling, ...
