Deaths, Injuries, and Hurricane Sandy
2012-11-21
As the death toll from Hurricane Sandy has climbed through the 100 mark, and property damage estimates top $50 billion, it's clear that it's going to be a very busy time for insurance companies and lawyers.
New York personal injury lawyer Nussin Fogel expects there to be a lot of litigation in the wake of the storm as insurance companies attempt to avoid responsibility for deaths, injuries, or property damage. "For example," said Fogel, "power failures at Memorial Medical Center in New Orleans that caused 34 deaths after Hurricane Katrina led to lawsuits. ...
Adult Adoptee Reform: Setting the Captives Free - It is Time to Change Current Archaic and Cruel Laws That Block Access to Original Birth Certificates and Other Vital Information to Adult Adoptees
2012-11-21
In the 1930s, social workers set out to change legislation that, under the guise of protecting the privacy of birth mothers would later enlsave millions of Adult Adoptees. Did they know that would happen? Probably not. But now you do.
In truth, most birth mothers were young girls who were afraid and confused. Social workers, clergy and their own parents told them how it was better to give up their baby. Perhaps it was, but those birth mothers and adoptees are adults and it is time to change those laws that are doing nothing but creating a sickness in our society that ...

'Obese but happy gene' challenges the common perception of link between depression and obesity
2012-11-20
Hamilton, ON (November 20, 2012) – Researchers at McMaster University have discovered new genetic evidence about why some people are happier than others.
McMaster scientists have uncovered evidence that the gene FTO – the major genetic contributor to obesity – is associated with an eight per cent reduction in the risk of depression. In other words, it's not just an obesity gene but a "happy gene" as well.
The research appears in a study published today in the journal Molecular Psychiatry. The paper was produced by senior author David Meyre, associate professor in clinical ...

VTT: A low-carbon Finland is a great challenge, but an achievable one
2012-11-20
VTT specialists have assessed Finland's chances of achieving the 80% greenhouse gas emission reduction targets. The EU's goal for 2050 is to reduce emissions by at least 80% from the level of 1990.
The goal is a tough one for Finland, but possible to achieve as long as all sectors that produce or consume energy take part. On top of this, all greenhouse gas emissions must be reduced. Finland requires new technological solutions for industrial activity, for the transport of people, goods and services, and for housing and working methods. If clean forms of energy and the ...
Europe must not lose momentum in marine biodiversity research
2012-11-20
A new Marine Board Future Science Brief presents a roadmap for marine biodiversity science in Europe and warns against complacency.
The ocean provides 95% of the habitable space on Earth and harbours a vast diversity of life. Biodiversity underpins the health of the oceans and their productive ecosystems which are essential for human well-being and prosperity.

Marine biodiversity research and its role in supporting ...
Gastric bypass surgery: Follow up as directed to lose more
2012-11-20
Gastric bypass patients who attended five follow-up office visits in two years as recommended by their surgeons lost nearly twice as much weight (113 lbs. vs. 57 lbs.) as patients who attended only two follow-up visits, according to a University of Pennsylvania School of Nursing study in Obesity Surgery.
The global epidemic of overweight and obese people is estimated to include 1.7 billion individuals, with two-thirds of those living in the U.S. Measurement of body mass index (BMI), a calculation of height and weight, classifies obesity. Patients with severe obesity ...
Sweat glands play major role in healing human wounds, U-M research shows
2012-11-20
ANN ARBOR, Mich. — Turns out the same glands that make you sweat are responsible for another job vital to your health: they help heal wounds.
Human skin is rich with millions of eccrine sweat glands that help your body cool down after a trip to the gym or on a warm day. These same glands, new University of Michigan Health System research shows, also happen to play a key role in providing cells for recovering skin wounds – such as scrapes, burns and ulcers.
The findings were released online ahead of print in the American Journal of Pathology.
"Skin ulcers – including ...

Dance boosts young girls' mental health
2012-11-20
Young girls can dance their way to better mental health. Symptoms like depression, stress, fatigue, and headaches are alleviated with regular dancing. This is shown in a study run by Anna Duberg, a physical therapist at Örebro University Hospital and a doctoral candidate at Örebro University in Sweden. Regular dance training can thereby be regarded as a strategy for preventing and treating low spirits and depression. Dance also brings enhanced self-esteem and a greater capacity to deal with everyday problems.
The dance study included 112 Swedish girls 13 to 19 years ...
Scientists at Mainz University identify inhibitor of myelin formation in the central nervous system
2012-11-20
Scientists at the Mainz University Medical Center have discovered another molecule that plays an important role in regulating myelin formation in the central nervous system. Myelin promotes the conduction of nerve cell impulses by forming a sheath around their projections, the so-called axons, at specific locations – acting like the plastic insulation around a power cord. The research team, led by Dr. Robin White of the Institute of Physiology and Pathophysiology at the University Medical Center of Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz, recently published their findings in ...
