Cooling cure averts brain damage – Independent Online

Posted: Published on May 21st, 2017

Cooling the brains of newborn babies deprived of oxygen improves the proportion who survive unharmed, two decades of research has shown. Brain damage in babies asphyxiated at birth - often because their umbilical cords have become wound around their necks - leaves hundreds permanently disabled each year. A study of babies asphyxiated at birth in hospitals across the UK and Europe suggests that the cooling treatment could save at least 100 babies a year from brain damage. Of the 325 babies in the survey, half were cooled within six hours of delivery and their body temperatures were maintained at 3C to 4C below normal for three days. The results showed that almost half (44 percent) recovered with no brain damage, compared with just over a quarter (28 percent) among those left at normal temperature. Denis Azzopardi, of Imperial College, London, who led the research published in the New England Journal of Medicine, said: "Our study builds on a 20-year body of research but gives, for the first time, irrefutable proof that cooling can be effective in reducing brain damage after birth asphyxia. Unfortunately, it doesn't work in every case. "Birth asphyxia is a very important problem. Cases still occur and … Continue reading →

Multiple Sclerosis Symptoms

Posted: Published on May 21st, 2017

The central nervous system (CNS) controls much of the body's functioning and much of this activity passes through the white matter at some point. It is not surprising, therefore, that a disease which damages white matter can produce a very wide range of symptoms. Indeed, there are few diseases with more potential symptoms than multiple sclerosis. In this section, I list many of the symptoms of MS and, in the next section, I will list some of their treatments. Few of the symptoms of MS are unique to the disease and, even if you have one or more of them, it doesn't necessarily mean that you have multiple sclerosis. However, all of these symptoms deserve medical attention and you should see a doctor if you develop any of them. I've arranged the symptoms into these groupings: Visual, Motor, Sensory, Coordination and Balance, Bowel, Bladder and Sexual, Cognitive and Others. Please remember that most people with MS won't get most of these symptoms and the ones that seem the most terrifying usually only manifest themselves in the later stages of the disease. I want to skim through each symptom at quite a high level and discuss them in more detail in … Continue reading →

Posted: Published on May 20th, 2017

If you missed the local TV interview Dr. Jonas Cooper did in February, you missed learning about his complex medical specialty, you missed seeing him explain the anatomy of a heart using a plastic model and you missed watching him solve a Rubiks Cube in lightning-fast fashion. Get up to speed here with this personable physician. Cooper, 41, was born in Toronto and moved with his family to St. Louis when he was 13. He attended Parkway Central High School, received a medical degree at Washington University School of Medicine and a public health degree from Harvard University. Cooper completed his clinical cardiac electrophysiology fellowship at Barnes-Jewish Hospital, was on the faculty at Washington University School of Medicine, and has lectured on and written about electrophysiology. He is a member at Congregation Bnai Amoona. Cooper made time last week to talk about his work and his life. What do you like best about your job?

As an electrophysiologist, your work includes surgical placement and management of pacemakers, defibrillators and cardiac … Continue reading →

SCIENCE EGGSPERIENCE: Waterloo biology students find success in failed experiment – Finger Lakes Times

Posted: Published on May 20th, 2017

WATERLOO Lisa Parish tells her high school biology students that science isnt linear or neat. Those 11th- and 12th-graders learned that firsthand over the past month while conducting their own experiment trying to hatch chicks outside of their shells. The students in Parishs Finger Lakes Community College Gemini biology classes conceived of the experiment late last year after 12-grader Malissa Temple came across a YouTube video of a Japanese class conducting a similar exercise successfully. Parish told her students if they wanted to try it, they had to fashion the experiment themselves. They took her up on the challenge. Earlier this year they appeared before the school board to solicit support and funding, calling their project The Shell-less Eggsperiment. That support was granted and after spring break the students began what Parish has described as a wild ride. The allure of trying to get chicks to hatch outside of their shells is the ability to gain an unimpeded view of embryonic development. Getting to that point meant the students had to order a slew of materials not just the eggs, but egg culture, cups, sterilized plastic wrap and sterilized cotton balls, senior Connor Parrow explained. The students sterilized the cups … Continue reading →

Synthetic biology’s ties to our humanity let it elude definition – New Scientist

Posted: Published on May 20th, 2017

New old life: synthetic biology may yet revive extinct species Jonathan Blair/Getty By Christina Agapakis WHAT is synthetic biology? This question has vexed synthetic biologists and journalists alike since the discipline was named at MIT more than 15 years ago. Is synthetic biology a technique? A goal? A state of mind? In her ethnography of the field, Synthetic, Sophia Roosth offers a useful answer. Synthetic biologists, by a pragmatic definition, are people who identify as synthetic biologists at a methodological level what unites this diverse cast of characters is sociology, she says. The social life of synthetic biologists is just as important to understanding the field as its technical content; its the beliefs, ambitions and relationships of these people that make the field what it is. Roosth dives into the history, anthropology and peculiar society of synthetic biologists of which I consider myself a member, having been trained in a synthetic biology lab across the river from the labs Roosth describes. Synthetic is a traditional anthropological monograph: there are chapters on religion, kinship, property, labour, the household and origin myths. Roosth grounds each chapter in her long-term engagement with the community, and her historical and theoretical analyses give insight into … Continue reading →
