2013-04-17

DALLAS, TX, April 17, 2013 (Press-News.org) CyberlinkASP, the leader in hosted virtual desktop and private cloud solutions, today announced the completion of the company's migration to solid state drives across its hosted virtual desktop network. In January CyberlinkASP began methodically converting provisioning servers and disk cache arrays in its Dallas facility to SSD.

"This has been a major initiative for us the past few months as more and more companies adopt our cloud based Citrix technologies," said Mason Cooper, Vice President of Information Technology, CyberlinkASP. "Customer demand and IO requirements are always increasing and we are continuously eager to make investments in better performance. Resource-intensive applications are becoming frequent requests as the popularity of VDI courses through new markets. Traditional platter-based drives simply could not keep up with our growing demand," said Cooper.

Solid state drives are now the de-facto standard for hosted virtual desktop infrastructure. Improving performance and scalability and optimizing the end user experience as well as the life cycle of hardware. The amount of transactions per dollar invested is increased significantly leading to higher margins and a lighter footprint. CyberlinkASP continues to set the standard for desktops-as-a-service. "The emerging virtual desktop market desperately needs innovation, and we're seeing that with CyberlinkASP," said Rachel Chalmers, VP Research, 451 Research. Providing remote access since 1999, CyberlinkASP has emerged as one of the industry's major thought leaders.

Lack of consensus among health care providers in identifying sepsis poses threat to treatment

2013-04-16

PHILADELPHIA - Though the toll of sepsis is known to be enormous – it is estimated to cost the U.S. health care system $24.3 billion each year, and is the nation's third-leading killer, behind heart disease and cancer – the true magnitude of incidence of and death from the illness remains unknown. There is substantial variability in these numbers, depending on the method used to identify the condition in patients treated at hospital across the United States, according to a new study from the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania. The authors say ...

Mammogram tool improves some breast cancer detection but also increases false alarms

2013-04-16

(SACRAMENTO, Calif.) -- A costly and widely used mammography add-on increases detection of noninvasive and early-stage invasive breast cancer but also makes more mistakes than mammography alone, researchers from UC Davis and the University of Washington have found. Published in the April 16 issue of the Annals of Internal Medicine, the study of women enrolled in Medicare is the largest comparison of clinical outcomes of routine screening mammography with and without computer-assisted detection (CAD) -- software developed to enhance the detection of breast cancer during ...

Penn study shows a quarter of patients discharged from hospitals return to ERs within 30 days

2013-04-16

PHILADELPHIA - A study led by researchers at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania and Boston University School of Medicine has found that nearly one quarter of patients may return to the emergency department within 30 days of being discharged from a hospitalization. None of these emergency room visits that do not lead to subsequent admission are included in calculating hospital readmission rates, which are a key focus of health care cost containment and quality improvement efforts. The findings are published in Annals of Emergency Medicine. The ...

UCLA scientist discover new kidney cancer subtypes

2013-04-16

Researchers with the Institute of Urologic Oncology and the Department of Urology at UCLA have classified kidney cancer into several unique subtypes, a finding that will help physicians tailor treatment to individual patients and that moves cancer care one step closer to personalized medicine. The finding is the result of 10 years of UCLA researchers studying kidney cancers at the genetic and molecular levels, conducting chromosomal analyses in an effort to identify what mutations may be causing and affecting the behavior of the malignancies. Thousands of tumors removed ...

2013-04-16

Charlottesville, VA (April 16, 2013). In July 2010, the Society of Neurological Surgeons initiated nationwide boot camp courses designed to teach incoming postgraduate Year 1 (PGY1) trainees fundamental skills related to the field of neurosurgery. According to a new paper in the Journal of Neurosurgery, follow-up tests and surveys returned from course attendees 6 months after completion of the courses show that the first-year residents retained the knowledge and skills they had learned and found the courses relevant and beneficial to their residency experiences and to patient ...

Bed of needles

Boston, MA – A parasitic worm may hold the answer to keeping skin grafts firmly in place over wounds, according to a new study by researchers at Brigham and Women's Hospital (BWH). The study will be published in the April 16, 2013 issue of Nature Communications. The research team, led by Jeffrey Karp, PhD, BWH Division of Biomedical Engineering, Department of Medicine, senior study author, invented a microneedle inspired by Pomphorhynchus laevis, a spiny-headed worm that lives in the intestines of its hosts, in this case fish. The worm securely attaches to the host's ...

College admission questions rarely identify criminal behavior

2013-04-16

AURORA, Colo. (April 16, 2013) – A new study shows that neither criminal background checks nor pre-admission screening questions accurately predict students likely to commit crime on college campuses. "In an effort to reduce campus crime, more than half of all American colleges ask applicants about their criminal histories or require criminal background checks," said study author Carol Runyan , Ph.D., MPH, and professor of epidemiology at the Colorado School of Public Health. "But there is no real evidence to show this reduces campus crime." Colleges across the U.S. ...

Virginia Tech research team creates potential food source from non-food plants

2013-04-16

A team of Virginia Tech researchers has succeeded in transforming cellulose into starch, a process that has the potential to provide a previously untapped nutrient source from plants not traditionally thought of as food crops. Y.H. Percival Zhang, an associate professor of biological systems engineering in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences and the College of Engineering, led a team of researchers in the project that could help feed a growing global population that is estimated to swell to 9 billion by 2050. Starch is one of the most important components of ...

Experiencing existential dread? Tylenol may do the trick

2013-04-16

Thinking about death can cause us to feel a sort of existential angst that isn't attributable to a specific source. Now, new research suggests that acetaminophen, an over-the-counter pain medication, may help to reduce this existential pain. The research is published in Psychological Science, a journal of the Association for Psychological Science. According to lead researcher Daniel Randles and colleagues at the University of British Columbia, the new findings suggest that Tylenol may have more profound psychological effects than previously thought: "Pain extends ...

TGen-led study discovers dramatic changes in bacteria following male circumcision

2013-04-16

PHOENIX, Ariz. — April 16, 2013 — Male circumcision reduces the abundance of bacteria living on the penis and might help explain why circumcision offers men some protection against HIV, according to a study led by the Translational Genomics Research Institute (TGen). Removing the foreskin caused a significant shift in the bacterial community or microbiome of the penis, according to a study published today by the online journal mBio. This international collaboration focused on 156 men in Rakai, Uganda — part of the world's largest randomized-controlled trial on male ...
