DALLAS, March 17, 2014 — In response to drug-resistant "superbugs" that send millions of people to hospitals around the world, scientists are building tiny, "molecular drill bits" that kill bacteria by bursting through their protective cell walls. They presented some of the latest developments on these drill bits, better known to scientists as antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), at the 247th National Meeting & Exposition of the American Chemical Society (ACS), the world's largest scientific society.

WASHINGTON — A study of more than 15,000 men with early stage prostate cancer finds that those who received androgen deprivation as their primary treatment instead of surgery or radiation did not live any longer than those who received no treatment. The research team, led by scientists at Georgetown Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center, say that the risks of serious adverse events associated with the treatment — which has been linked to impaired cognition, heart disease, diabetes and other disorders — "mitigates against any clinical or policy rationale for use of primary ...

Bayramov's research shows that propagating star-light is substantially deflected by the gravitational-flow. The substantial star-light deflection causes very small visible stellar parallax (visible star position deflection as Earth orbits the Sun). When not accounting for the substantial star-light curvature, using straight-line parallax calculation, main-stream science projects the closest stars to be many light years away, e.g. the closest known star - Proxima Centauri is projected to be 4.2 light years away. By accounting for the substantial star-light deflection ...
