Thomas Near named Saybrook master

Posted: Published on March 3rd, 2015

Photo by Alexandra Schmeling. Ecology and Evolutionary Biology professor Thomas Near will be the next master of Saybrook College, University President Peter Salovey announced to a crowd of students Friday evening in the colleges dining hall. Near will succeed Paul Hudak, who will step down at the end of this academic year. Amid applause from the roughly 200 Saybrugians, Salovey and Yale College Dean Jonathan Holloway lauded Near for his research on fish and already-proven commitment to the Saybrook community as a fellow of the college. Nears five-year term will start on July 1. I, like you, started at Yale as a Saybrugian, Near said. There will be time for us to get to know each other. There will be time for us to share our stories with one another. Near came to Yale in 2006 after teaching for three years at the University of Tennessee. He currently serves as the director of undergraduate studies in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, in addition to being the associate curator of the Peabody Museum of Natural History. Near, who teaches the course Ichthyology, focuses on fish in his research and has led a Yale Summer Session class on the topic. Lets hear it … Continue reading →

Greys Anatomy season 11 gives us a new Dr. Shepherd to care about

Posted: Published on March 3rd, 2015

Home Features Greys Anatomy season 11 gives us a new Dr. Shepherd to care about Since season 1, fans of Greys Anatomy have fallen under the spell of Dr. Derek Shepherd. However, the back end of season 11 is focusing on another Dr. Shepherd. The Shepherds are taking over America. On each coast stands a doctor at the top of their field, exploring new and challenging areas of neurosurgery. But when they are in the same room, they are on less of an equal playing field. Siblings are there to push you to be your very best, and remind you that they are still better than you even if it is not true. Dereks success has always cast a long shadow on Amelia and her failures forced her to retreat further in the darkness. But her time in the sun is fast approaching and Derek is not ready to pass the baton, but he should be. For Amelia Shepherd, her departure from Los Angeles and arrival in Seattle meant that she would be second fiddle to Derek Shepherd and for a majority of her first few months she played her role well. At some points in the season it was … Continue reading →

Bone Regeneration Through Tissue Engineering Offers New Prospects for Oral Procedures

Posted: Published on March 3rd, 2015

Lawrence, KS (PRWEB) March 03, 2015 Journal of Oral ImplantologyRegeneration of bone tissue could greatly benefit people with jawbone deficiencies due to tooth loss, infection, or trauma. While an ideal method of bone tissue engineering is not yet available, research with a collagen-hydroxyapatite-Mesenchymal stem cell composite is showing promise. Hydroxyapatite is the main component of bone mineral and tooth enamel. A report in the Journal of Oral Implantology details researchers efforts to synthesize a collagen-hydroxyapatite composite through mineralization of collagen fibrils with nanometer-sized apatite crystals. The biological properties of the composite were evaluated by culturing with mouse and human mesenchymal stem cells. Currently, the methods of bone repair and regeneration include the following bone graft types: Each of these methods has limitations that tissue engineering involving scaffolds and living cells can surpass. The scaffold is an artificial structure that is combined with living Mesenchymal stem cells to form a tissue engineering construct that can repair or regenerate bone. Mesenchymal stem cells, which can differentiate into a variety of cell types, are used to precipitate bone growth. The current study tested three ratios of collagen to hydroxyapatite: 80:20, 50:50, and 20:80. Both the 80:20 and 50:50 composites supported attachments and proliferation … Continue reading →

Rowan University Study Links BPA Exposure to Autism Spectrum Disorder

Posted: Published on March 3rd, 2015

Contact Information Available for logged-in reporters only Newswise STRATFORD A newly published study is the first to report an association between bisphenol-A (BPA), a common plasticizer used in a variety of consumer food and beverage containers, with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in children. The study, by researchers at Rowan University School of Osteopathic Medicine (RowanSOM) and Rutgers New Jersey Medical School (NJMS), shows that BPA is not metabolized well in children with ASD. The research appears online in Autism Research. It has been suspected for a lot of years that BPA is involved in autism, but there was no direct evidence, said T. Peter Stein, of RowanSOM and the studys lead author. Weve shown there is a link. The metabolism of BPA is different in some children with autism than it is in otherwise healthy children. The research team which included Margaret Schluter and Robert Steer, of RowanSOM who were responsible for laboratory analysis, and child neurologist Xue Ming, of NJMS who recruited and ascertained the study populations examined urine specimens from 46 children with ASD and 52 healthy control children for both free BPA and total BPA concentrations. Like many chemicals, BPA becomes water soluble when it is bound … Continue reading →

Brain Injury Association of America Launches Not Alone Campaign for Brain Injury Awareness Month

Posted: Published on March 3rd, 2015

VIENNA,VA (PRWEB) March 02, 2015 Today the Brain Injury Association of America (BIAA) officially kicked off Brain Injury Awareness Month, a time to recognize and support the more than 5.3 million Americans who are living with TBI-related disabilities. Each year BIAA leads the nation in observing Brain Injury Awareness Month by conducting an awareness campaign during the month of March. The theme for the 2015 to 2017 campaign is: Not Alone. The Not Alone campaign provides a platform for educating the general public about the incidence of brain injury and the needs of people with brain injuries and their families. The campaign also lends itself to outreach within the brain injury community to de-stigmatize the injury, empower those who have survived, and promote the many types of support that are available. The American Association for Justice Traumatic Brain Injury Litigation Group and Nutcase Helmets are sponsors of the Not Alone campaign. Nutcase is also donating $2 from each helmet sold through its website (http://www.nutcasehelmets.com) during the month of March to BIAA. People with brain injuries want the same things we all want: to have a job, to have someone to love, to have a nice home, to have their independence, … Continue reading →

Genetic testing – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Posted: Published on March 3rd, 2015

This article is about genetic tests for disease and ancestry or biological relationships. For use in forensics, see DNA profiling. Genetic testing, also known as DNA testing, allows the genetic diagnosis of vulnerabilities to inherited diseases, and can also be used to determine a child's parentage (genetic mother and father) or in general a person's ancestry or biological relationship between people. In addition to studying chromosomes to the level of individual genes, genetic testing in a broader sense includes biochemical tests for the possible presence of genetic diseases, or mutant forms of genes associated with increased risk of developing genetic disorders. Genetic testing identifies changes in chromosomes, genes, or proteins.[1] Most of the time, testing is used to find changes that are associated with inherited disorders. The results of a genetic test can confirm or rule out a suspected genetic condition or help determine a person's chance of developing or passing on a genetic disorder. Several hundred genetic tests are currently in use, and more are being developed.[2][3] Because genetic mutations can directly affect the structure of the proteins they code for, testing for specific genetic diseases can also be accomplished by looking at those proteins or their metabolites, or … Continue reading →
