If you've had a heart attack or stroke, paramedics, doctors, and nurses follow standardized protocols for what to do right away, and their efforts improve your odds for a full recovery. That's not the case if you have a body-wide infection known as sepsis, which can be fatal within a few hours and is often not diagnosed until it is too late. Now, a new, multicenter research consortium, called Protocolized Care for Early Septic Shock (ProCESS), is beginning a large-scale study to determine whether specific interventions can halt the progression to severe sepsis and septic shock. Key to the project is determining whether there are "golden hours" during which prompt, rigorous, standardized care can save patients' lives. The project may establish the first set of standard procedures to diagnose and treat sepsis in emergency departments. The National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS), part of the National Institutes of Health, launched the project this month with a grant totaling more ...

We learned this morning that Brian K. Kobilka of Stanford University School of Medicine, whose research is supported by NIGMS and other parts of NIH, will share the 2012 Nobel Prize in chemistry with Robert J. Lefkowitz of Duke University Medical School, a long-time grantee of the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute. They are being recognized "for studies of G-protein-coupled receptors.". Their seminal work, primarily involving the β-adrenergic receptor, has widened understanding of how these biologically and medically important proteins operate. It has also contributed to an expanding library of related structures, which have been notoriously difficult to obtain. And it complements the ongoing efforts of many other researchers, including those funded through a variety of special NIH activities, among them the NIH Common Fund Structural Biology Program, which NIGMS helps administer.. Dr. Kobilka's "molecular masterpiece," the high-resolution structure of the β2-adrenergic receptor ...

This caricaturing of science is confusing and misleading. "Breakthrough as scientists create first drug to halt Alzheimer's disease," breathlessly reads one. "Betting study used monkey brains," cries another, this one fuelled by the activities of animal rights campaigners. Though not alone, animal research is a particularly frequent victim of the "black box effect." This is at least partly due to scientists' reluctance to speak about animal research, ironically stemming from anxiety about misrepresentation of their work, or even possible retaliation from animal rights activists.. Science is not a string of groundbreaking discoveries communicated through press releases, tweets, and hurried mass emails. Rather, it is incremental, nuanced, and often contradictory. It is defined as much by its methods and their limitations as it is by its breakthroughs. For science communication to work, it has to embrace this complexity, bringing the scientific method, and its baggage, to the foreground.. In ...

International Space Station Science Office. Link to Story at NASA: http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/station/research/news/ssep_conference/. Every so often, doomsayers arise to decry the state of America's scientific community, fearing that its future is endangered because of a lack of bright new talent. But it's easy to find a powerful counterargument to that gloomy view. Every July at the National Air & Space Museum in Washington, the next generation of America's space scientists-students from 5th grade up to college age-share their work with each other, the scientific community and the public at the Student Spaceflight Experiment Program (SSEP) annual conference..

A simple study into whoever is sought after for healing powers, take to them patients who may not be their followers after they have been medically tested, will lay a good foundation into further studies of why some spiritualists have a more efficient and effective healing method or crafts. Such studies will help with knowledge transfer and reduce counterfeits in the underground healing market and increase legitimate knowledge transfer which separates spiritual myths from facts. From a risk mitigation point of view, there will always be unknown virus attacks in the future as promised by Bill Gates, which we don't know about, but if we have encouraged and developed spiritual healers in our nation, they are much better at using their intuition, spirit and instincts to diagnose the unknown and either fix it or provide advice on which direction to apply science in solving the unknown epidemic or threat. Whether you like it or not, most professionals such as medical scientists employed in NGOs, Govt ...

What happens when two systems, law and medicine, are joined in the arena of the court? This work deals with the structure and the premises of two diverse discourse models; the approach is anthropological. Several chapters are preponderantly based on legal research, addressing cases requiring testimony by expert witnesses on recent technologies used in the laboratories of medical scientistS Descriptions of other societies and cultures consider the identical problems of rights, privileges, and duties, and provide perspectives to cultural self-knowledge. This volume can be used as a text for courses taught in medical schools and law schoolS It will be of particular interest to students taking courses in health science, public health, medical anthropology, forensic anthropology, psychology, sociology, public justice, behavioral sciences, forensic psychiatry, legal anthropology, social welfare, as well as courses on research modelS

Mycophenolic acid, less accurately called mycophenolate, is an immunosuppressant drug used to prevent rejection in organ transplantation. It was initially marketed as the prodrug mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) to improve oral bioavailability. More recently, the salt mycophenolate sodium has also been introduced. Mycophenolate mofetil is marketed under the trade name CellCept and mycophenolate sodium as Myfortic. Discovered by an Italian medical scientist Bartolomeo Gosio in 1893, mycophenolic acid was the first antibiotic to be synthesised in pure and crystalline form. But its medical application was forgotten until two American scientists C.L. Alsberg and O.M. Black resynthesised it in 1912, and gave its chemical name. It was eventually found to be a broad-spectrum acting drug having antiviral, antifungal, antibacterial, anticancer, and antipsoriasis properties. The clinically usable drug Cellcept was developed by South African geneticist Anthony Allison and his wife Elsie M. Eugui. It was first ...
