2012-12-11
Advanced Global Trading - In a united bid to control global warming, nearly 200 countries agreed over talks last weekend in Doha to extend the Kyoto Protocol - a treaty that limits the greenhouse gas output of some rich countries, but will only cover around 15 per cent of global emissions. After hotly debated sessions and despite objections from Russia, the extension was adopted by a UN climate conference after hard-fought sessions with decisions including promises of financing to help poor countries cope with climate change and affirmation of a previous agreement to ...

Saying "Godspeed" to a Spidernaut

Saying "Godspeed" to a Spidernaut
2012-12-11
"You have been my friend. That in itself is a tremendous thing. I wove my webs for you because I liked you. After all, what's a life, anyway? We're born, we live a little while, we die. A spider's life can't help being something of a mess, with all this trapping and eating flies. By helping you, perhaps I was trying to lift up my life a trifle. Heaven knows anyone's life can stand a little of that." -- E.B. White, Charlotte's Web Nefertiti didn't spin a web like Charlotte; her kind never could. But the red-back jumping spider earned a classy nickname, Spidernaut, ...

Smokers Utopia States Argument for E Cigarettes as Cessation Product Following Results of New Polish Study

2012-12-11
It is commonly stated that you can't have your cake and eat it too, but the electronic cigarette may break the long held beliefs by the anti-smoking establishment and do away with pharmaceuticals that come in at a dismal 5% success rate or less. Over the last year new studies, trials and test including the new Polish report have suggested that the electronic cigarette may be superior to any known pharmaceutical remedy or alternative. This may be why major pharmaceutical companies are dumping hundreds of millions into these anti-smoking groups that attack the electronic ...

1 in 4 physicians uses social media daily

2012-12-10
A new survey shows that about one in four physicians uses social media daily or multiple times a day to scan or explore medical information, and 14 percent use social media each day to contribute new information, according to an oncologist at the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center. The survey of 485 oncologists and primary care physicians, also found that on a weekly basis or more, 61 percent of physicians scan for information and 46 percent contribute new information. More than half said they use online physician-only communities but only 7 percent said they use Twitter. ...

Self-assembled monolayers create p-n junctions in graphene films

Self-assembled monolayers create p-n junctions in graphene films
2012-12-10
The electronic properties of graphene films are directly affected by the characteristics of the substrates on which they are grown or to which they are transferred. Researchers are taking advantage of this to create graphene p-n junctions by transferring films of the promising electronic material to substrates that have been patterned by compounds that are either strong electron donors or electron acceptors. A low temperature, controllable and stable method has been developed to dope graphene films using self-assembled monolayers (SAM) that modify the interface of graphene ...

Violent video games: More playing time equals more aggression

2012-12-10
COLUMBUS, Ohio – A new study provides the first experimental evidence that the negative effects of playing violent video games can accumulate over time. Researchers found that people who played a violent video game for three consecutive days showed increases in aggressive behavior and hostile expectations each day they played. Meanwhile, those who played nonviolent games showed no meaningful changes in aggression or hostile expectations over that period. Although other experimental studies have shown that a single session of playing a violent video game increased short-term ...

Hedge funds manipulate stock prices, new research shows

2012-12-10
COLUMBUS, Ohio – Some hedge funds manipulate stock prices at the end of the month to improve the returns that they report to their investors, a new study suggests. In a study of 10 years of hedge fund data, researchers found evidence that some funds run up prices on specific stocks they hold on the last day of the month and quarter – especially the last 20 minutes of trading – before they report their returns for the period. But the prices usually fall back the next day, after the abnormally large returns have already been reported to investors. "Some hedge funds that ...

Researchers identify therapeutic targets in neurofibromatosis

2012-12-10
Neurofibromatosis-1 (NF1) is an inherited disorder caused by mutations in the NF1 gene that result in the formation of nervous tissue tumors (neurofibromas) in the skin, subcutaneous tissue, and the cranial and spinal root nerves. Additionally, NF1 patients are predisposed to juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia (JMML), myeloproliferative disorders, and malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors (MPNST). NF1 encodes a protein that serves as a negative regulator of a signaling pathway composed of RAS, RAF, MEK, and ERK proteins, known as MAPK signaling cascades. Cells expressing ...

Brown fat transplants help mice lose weight

2012-12-10
Brown fat is a specialized tissue in mammals that is used to generate heat (thermogenesis). While white fat is associated with increased body mass, brown fat is associated with a lower body mass index (BMI) and consumes large amounts of energy. Researchers have long been intrigued by the idea of brown fat transplant as a therapeutic tool to combat obesity. In this issue of the Journal of Clinical Investigation, researchers led by Laurie Goodyear at the Joslin Diabetes Center in Boston, performed brown fat transplants in mice to determine if this intervention could treat ...

Study identifies targeted molecular therapy for untreatable NF1 tumors

2012-12-10
CINCINNATI – Researchers conducting a preclinical study in mice successfully used targeted molecular therapy to block mostly untreatable nerve tumors that develop in people with the genetic disorder Neurofibromatosis 1 (NF1). Scientists from Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center report their findings online Dec. 10 in the Journal of Clinical Investigation. "We can for the first time shrink the large majority of neurofibromas, at least in mice, by using a molecularly targeted treatment," said Nancy Ratner, PhD, principal investigator and program leader for the ...

Bed bugs are not repelled by commercial ultrasonic frequency devices

2012-12-10
Alternative means of controlling urban insect pests by using ultrasonic frequencies are available and marketed to the public. However, few of these devices have been demonstrated as being effective in repelling insect pests such as mosquitoes, cockroaches, or ants. Despite the lack of evidence for the efficacy of such devices, they continue to be sold and new versions targeting bed bugs are readily available. However, according to a soon-to-be-published article in the Journal of Economic Entomology, commercial devices that produce ultrasound frequencies are NOT promising ...

Depression in elderly men linked to higher rates of emergency admissions

2012-12-10
Depressed elderly men have a twofold risk of admission to hospital, found a new study published in CMAJ (Canadian Medical Association Journal). This finding could have potential for helping identify at-risk men to prevent admissions. "Men with depression had a twofold increase in the mean number of hospital admissions, and these lasted on average twice as long as for men without depression," writes Dr. Matthew Prina, Institute of Public Health, Cambridge University, Cambridge, UK, with coauthors. Researchers from Australia, the UK and the Netherlands undertook a study ...

From fish to man: Research reveals how fins became legs

From fish to man: Research reveals how fins became legs
2012-12-10
Vertebrates' transition to living on land, instead of only in water, represented a major event in the history of life. Now, researchers reporting in the December issue of the Cell Press journal Developmental Cell provide new evidence that the development of hands and feet occurred through the gain of new DNA elements that activate particular genes. "First, and foremost, this finding helps us to understand the power that the modification of gene expression has on shaping our bodies," says Dr. José Luis Gómez-Skarmeta of the CSIC-Universidad Pablo de Olavide-Junta de Andalucía, ...

(Antibody) orientation matters

2012-12-10
The orientation of antibody binding to bacteria can mean life or death to the bug, according to a study published in The Journal of Experimental Medicine on December 10th. These findings may help explain why these bacteria cause millions of localized infections, but more serious, systemic blood infections are rare. Streptococcus pyogenes—the causative agent of strep throat—typically invades the body's mucosal surfaces, including the throat and skin. These invasions are kept in check by Y-shaped immune proteins called antibodies, which attach to the bug via their arm ...

To fight incurable metastatic breast cancer, resistance must be broken

2012-12-10
One of the most frustrating truths about cancer is that even when a treatment works, it often doesn’t work for long because cancer cells find ways to resist. However, researchers reporting studies done in mice in the December 11, 2012, issue of Cancer Cell, a Cell Press publication, may have a way to stay one step ahead in the case of aggressive metastatic breast cancer. The findings emphasize the importance of basic cancer biology for advancing treatments that are more effective and less toxic, the researchers say. "We need to gain a better understanding of the wiring ...
