KANSAS CITY, MO, April 10, 2013 (Press-News.org) A recent clinical study by the National Institute of Health (NIH) in Washington, DC revealed that neutering animals have negative psychological effects.
The study entitled Gonadectomy Negatively Impacts Social Behavior of Adolescent Male Primates revealed " for the first time that neutering animals affects social stimuli which includes behaviorial responses to social cues."
The report determined that neutering significantly impairs social dominance in both naturalistic setting and changes reactions to social stimuli in experimental settings.
The two year study which included the testing of monkey's, involved fully castrated animals and animals neutered with Neuticles- testicular implants for pets. Those animals with the testicular implants exhibited significantly higher levels of self confidence, self esteem and courage as opposed to those participants who had previously been altered without the implants.
"While we welcome these findings, this is precisely what we have maintained since the introduction of Neuticles 18 years ago," said Neuticles inventor and recipient of the IG Nobel Peace Prize for Medicine in 2005.
"I've spoken to thousands of pet owners through the years who have experienced for themselves their beloved pet acting and functioning exactly the same after being Neuticled"
Miller said the pet owners compared neutered pets they had owned that didn't receive the implants. "Every pet owner in one way or another noticed that their pet appeared depressed and different- changed."
"I wouldn't have neutered had it not been for Neuticles," said pet owner Shawna Henrie of Los Angeles, CA. who has used the implants in three of her Weimaraner's over the past 17 years.
"Of course pets know their testicles are missing after a traditional neutering," Henrie said. "But with Neuticles they don't- its like nothing ever changed"

With Surprising Solution Discovered: Study Reveals Traditional Animal Castration Has Negative Psychological Effect

Currently approved drugs found effective in laboratory mice against bioterror threats
2013-04-09
In the most extensive screen of its kind, Texas Biomed scientists in San Antonio have demonstrated the feasibility of repurposing already-approved drugs for use against highly pathogenic bacteria and viruses. The pathogens included emerging diseases and potential bioterror threats ranging from anthrax to the Marburg and Ebola viruses.
In testing a library of 1,012 Food and Drug Administration-approved drugs, commonly used for treatment of every-day ailments like diabetes and high blood pressure, the scientists found that ten were active against two or more bacteria and ...
Human shadow cast over the Caribbean slows coral growth
2013-04-09
Striking Caribbean sunsets occur when particles in the air scatter incoming sunlight. But a particulate shadow over the sea may have effects underwater. A research team, including staff scientist Héctor Guzmán from the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute, linked airborne particles caused by volcanic activity and air pollution to episodes of slow coral-reef growth.
Like tree rings, long-lived coral skeletons preserve a record of coral growth. Previously, scientists linked coral-growth patterns in the Caribbean to a phenomenon called the Atlantic Multi-decadal Oscillation—fluctuations ...
Stanford seeks sea urchin's secret to surviving ocean acidification
2013-04-09
Stanford scientists have discovered that some purple sea urchins living along the coast of California and Oregon have the surprising ability to rapidly evolve in acidic ocean water – a capacity that may come in handy as climate change increases ocean acidity. This capacity depends on high levels of genetic variation that allow urchins' healthy growth in water with high carbon dioxide levels.
The study, co-authored by Stephen Palumbi, a Professor in marine sciences and the director of Stanford's Hopkins Marine Station, reveals previously unknown adaptive variations that ...

Spring rains bring life to Midwest granaries but foster Gulf of Mexico 'Dead Zone'
NEW ORLEANS, April 9, 2013 — The most serious ongoing water pollution problem in the Gulf of Mexico originates not from oil rigs, as many people believe, but rainstorms and fields of corn and soybeans a thousand miles away in the Midwest. An expert on that problem — the infamous Gulf of Mexico "Dead Zone" — today called for greater awareness of the connections ...

Fox Chase researchers show that a promising drug can help prevent head and neck cancers
2013-04-09
WASHINGTON, DC (April 9, 2013)—Head and neck cancers typically begin in squamous cells that line moist surfaces inside the mouth, nose and throat. Squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (HNSCC) is the sixth most common type of cancer in the United States, and it is sometimes preceded by the appearance of changes inside the oral cavity called precancerous lesions. The most common type of change is a white patch known as a leukoplakia. Because it often takes decades for leukoplakias to develop into HNSCC, there is a window of opportunity to recognize and revert precancerous ...
New treatment holds promise for resistant lung cancer
2013-04-09
WASHINGTON, DC (April 9, 2013)—A new chemotherapy regimen appears to produce minimal side effects in patients with lung cancer that has not responded to previous therapy, paving the way for additional research to determine if the new regimen also helps shrink tumors, according findings to be presented by Fox Chase Cancer Center researchers at the AACR Annual Meeting 2013 on Tuesday, April 9.
"I'm very optimistic that we will show this protocol helps lung cancer patients who have run out of other options," says study author Hossein Borghaei, MS, DO, director of Thoracic ...
Omega-3 fatty acids more effective at inhibiting growth of triple-negative breast cancer
2013-04-09
WASHINGTON, DC (April 9, 2013)—Researchers from Fox Chase Cancer Center have found that omega-3 fatty acids and their metabolite products slow or stop the proliferation, or growth in the number of cells, of triple-negative breast cancer cells more effectively than cells from luminal types of the disease. The omega-3s worked against all types of cancerous cells, but the effect was observed to be stronger in triple-negative cell lines, reducing proliferation by as much as 90 percent. The findings will be presented at the AACR Annual Meeting 2013 on Tuesday, April 9.
Omega-3 ...
