Honk for mammogram awareness. A mammogram is the most effective way to detect breast cancer and increases the chances of a cure by 95% in case of early diagnosis. Every woman over 40 should get the exam on a regular basis.

Thanks to all the women who participated!

Researchers at UC Davis have identified 10 locations in California where the incidence of autism is higher than surrounding areas in the same region. Most of the areas, or clusters, are in locations where parents have higher-than-average levels of educational attainment. Because children with more educated parents are more likely to be diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder, one need look no further for a cause, the authors say. The other clusters are located close to major autism treatment centers.

Scientists from the Genome Institute of Singapore (GIS), a biomedical research institute of the Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR), have discovered a genetic molecule, called Tbx3, which greatly improves the quality of stem cells that have been reprogrammed from differentiated cells (stem cells reprogrammed from differentiated cells are known as induced pluripotent stem cells or iPS cells). The study was published on 7 February 2010 in the prestigious journal Nature.

Exciting discoveries in the field of nanophotonics have been made by Margherita Zavelani-Rossi and colleagues of the National Laboratory for Ultrafast and Ultraintense Optical Science, Milan, and the Italian Institute of Technology, Genova.

The results summarised in this video strongly enhance the potential of colloidal quantum rods (QR) and represent the first example of a nanocrystal laser prepared by pure self-assembly.

In a new NCI-funded study, researchers will be merging nanotechnology and cancer surgery techniques with the aim of finding tumor cells present in pancreatic, lung and breast cancers. Nanoparticles are injected into the body, where they home in on tumor cells and bind with them. The tumors, including tumor margins and lymph nodes, which may also be involved, can be scanned by surgeons using special equipment, so that every cell can be identified and removed. Complete removal of cancer is often key to preventing recurrence.

CNBC-TV show dLife host Benno Schmidt interviews http://www.livinlavidalowcarb.com/blog author and health blogger Jimmy Moore for a segment of the nationally-televised diabetes-related health program for January 31, 2010. Benno asked Jimmy a series of questions about his weight loss, the decision to choose a low-carb lifestyle, the tragic death of his brother Kevin, and why anyone should listen to what he has to say since he's not a doctor or nutritionist. This was Jimmy's second national television appearance.

Reproductive biologists have identified the mechanism that triggers sperm's race to the egg, reports a study in Cell today.

By measuring the electrical current passing through the sperm cell membrane, researchers at the University of California, San Francisco, identified a channel that releases a flood of protons from a sperm cell, initiating its trip up the fallopian tubes and on to the egg.

ABSTRACT

Background The differential diagnosis of disorders of consciousness is challenging. The rate of misdiagnosis is approximately 40%, and new methods are required to complement bedside testing, particularly if the patient's capacity to show behavioral signs of awareness is diminished.

For so many of the patients and supporters of The Princess Margaret, palliative care is a high priority and an area they want to see expanded. Palliative care refers not only to end of life care, but to all the services involving pain and symptom control, psychological well-being and social support of cancer patients and their families.

Dr. Gary Rodin, head of Psychosocial Oncology and Palliative Care, is proud that PMH, thanks in large part to foundation donors, is able to influence cancer care in the world.
