Because a motor vehicle accident can occur at any time, it is important to remain calm and remember that there are several things that you need to do in order to put your best legal ...

Memorial Day has come and gone. The parades are over, the flowers are fading, and the veterans who participated have packed their uniforms away until next year. However, one group of veterans - vets who are homeless -- has little to celebrate. According to some reports, there are at least 62,000 homeless veterans in the United States. Other sources say that at least 15 percent of post-911 veterans are homeless. Although these figures are shocking, they actually represent an improvement over a few years ago. According to some community service organizations, the reason ...

The Atlanta tree removal company, Yellow Ribbon, would like to discuss the dangerous tree condition known as canker rot. There are many types of fungi that can lead to this condition, and it is easily recognized by the lesions it leaves on twigs and branches. If left untreated, the condition can eventually spread to the trunk. This can ultimately lead to damaged fruit on those trees that produce them. The Atlanta tree service company notes that canker rot begins when pathogens infect the area underneath tree bark called the cambium tissue. The living tissue slowly dies ...

CORVALLIS, Ore. – As ice sheets melted during the deglaciation of the last ice age and global oceans warmed, oceanic oxygen levels decreased and "denitrification" accelerated by 30 to 120 percent, a new international study shows, creating oxygen-poor marine regions and throwing the oceanic nitrogen cycle off balance. By the end of the deglaciation, however, the oceans had adjusted to their new warmer state and the nitrogen cycle had stabilized – though it took several millennia. Recent increases in global warming, thought to be caused by human activities, are raising ...

DARIEN, IL – A new study demonstrates a strong relationship between workplace daylight exposure and office workers' sleep, activity and quality of life. Compared to workers in offices without windows, those with windows in the workplace received 173 percent more white light exposure during work hours and slept an average of 46 minutes more per night. There also was a trend for workers in offices with windows to have more physical activity than those without windows. Workers without windows reported poorer scores than their counterparts on quality of life measures related ...

DARIEN, IL – A new study provides surprising evidence that people with narcolepsy have an increased number of neurons that produce histamine, suggesting that histamine signaling may be a novel therapeutic target for this potentially disabling sleep disorder. "The orexin/hypocretin neuropeptides promote wakefulness, and researchers have known for 13 years that narcolepsy is caused by loss of the orexin/hypocretin neurons in the hypothalamus," said principal investigator Thomas Scammell, MD, professor of Neurology at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston, Mass. ...

DARIEN, IL – A new study suggests that night work may impair glucose tolerance, supporting a causal role of night work in the increased risk of Type 2 diabetes among shift workers. Results show that peak glucose levels were 16 percent higher during one night of simulated shift work, compared with one day of a simulated daytime work schedule. Compared with the daytime protocol, insulin levels during the night shift protocol were 40 to 50 percent higher at 80 minutes and 90 minutes after a meal. "It is surprising that just a single night shift can significantly impair ...

In results presented at ASCO 2013, a University of Colorado Cancer Center study provides important details for a recently identified driver and target in lung adenocarcinoma: rearrangement of the gene RET. The finding is an important step along a trajectory like that which led to FDA approval of the drug crizotinib, which targets a somewhat similar rearrangement in the ALK gene. By comparison, the ALK rearrangement is present in 3-5 percent of lung cancers whereas the present study found RET rearrangements present in 8 of 51 (15.7 percent) of an enriched cohort of patient ...

Preventing an immune over-reaction The immune system can run awry in many ways. Some examples of undesirable immune responses include those directed against the host (autoimmunity), transplanted organs (transplant rejection), or a harmless substance (allergies). In each case, the immune system is reacting to the presence of a molecule known as an antigen. Currently, the best treatment options involve broad spectrum suppression of the immune system, which increases susceptibility to infection. A preferable solution would be to specifically turn off the immune cells that ...
