Ms Dhu's death in custody shows little learnt

Posted: Published on September 12th, 2014

The death of Ms Dhu - a22-year-old Aboriginal woman who died in police custody in Western Australia - has sparked community outrage. However, those familiar with this country's dismal record of deaths in custody will not be surprised by the disturbing similarities between Ms Dhu's death and many deaths before hers. The key questions being asked about the circumstances ofMs Dhu's death concern why she was imprisoned for such an apparently minor offence as unpaid fines and why she was twice taken for medical attention but deemed fit for continued incarceration, despite reportedly begging to be hospitalised. Similar questions were asked by the Royal Commission into Aboriginal Deaths in Custody more than 20 years ago. And they have been repeated at dozens of inquests into deaths in custody since. Advertisement Could Ms Dhu's death have been prevented if those who were charged with her custody and care had acted differently? The commissioners concluded as much in the case ofMuriel Gwenda Binkswho died of multiple organ failure in Queensland police custody in 1989. The 38-year-old was held at Innisfail watch house for failing to pay a $30 penalty issued nearly a decade earlier, after she didn't lodge her income tax return. … Continue reading →

Google Continues To Build Upon Its Life Sciences Ecosystem

Posted: Published on September 12th, 2014

Google has a mission to organize the worlds information and make it accessible to everyone. The companyis mostly known for its search engine and the largest mobile operating system, but you may not be aware that Google is also heavily involved in the life sciences sector. Google has invested in a number of biotech and life science companies through its venture capital arm, Google Ventures. Lift Labs Yesterday, Google acquired Lift Labs. Lift Labs is a company that has built a high-tech device handle, which can stabilize what is being held using an attachable spoon or fork. This type of device benefits someone that has Parkinsons Disease or Essential tremor (ET). The Lift Labs team is joining the Life Sciences division at Google[x], which is a skunkworks lab led by Google co-founder Sergey Brin. DNAnexus DNAnexus is a DNA sequencing data software company that works with several genome sequencing organizations to better understand human genetics contributing to heart disease and aging.Last year, DNAnexus partnered with Baylor College of Medicine to process 3,751 whole human genomes and 10,771 exomes. DNAnexus uses Amazon Web Services cloud computing to sequence DNA data and store it.GoogleVentures invested in DNAnexus$15 million Series B and $15 … Continue reading →

Primary care doctors reluctant to provide genetics assessment in routine care

Posted: Published on September 12th, 2014

PUBLIC RELEASE DATE: 11-Sep-2014 Contact: Mary Masson mfmasson@umich.edu 734-764-2220 University of Michigan Health System @UMHealthSystem Ann Arbor, Mich. Primary care providers report many challenges to integrating genetics services into routine primary care, according to research published today in Genetics in Medicine. Medical genetics medicine has traditionally been used to identify and diagnose rare diseases, but in the last decade it has been increasingly helpful in determining patients at risk for genetically-based conditions who can benefit from preventive health care, says the study's senior author, Beth Tarini, M.D., M.S., F.A.A.P., assistant professor of pediatrics at the University of Michigan Medical School and C.S. Mott Children's Hospital. "Genetics is not just about rare diseases and specialists. PCPs rely on genetics frequently during preventive care visits especially when taking family histories and assessing a patient's risk of more common, but chronic, diseases. So the fact that PCPs report many barriers to embracing and performing these tasks is concerning, " says Tarini, who is also an investigator at U-M's Child Health Evaluation & Research (CHEAR) Unit and co-medical director of the Genetics in Primary Care Institute (GPCI), a project of the American Academy of Pediatrics Tarini and her co-investigators conducted a systematic literature review … Continue reading →

Feds slow to respond to state GMO task force

Posted: Published on September 12th, 2014

Federal authorities have been slow to answer questions about genetic engineering regulations asked by an Oregon task force assembled by Gov. John Kitzhaber. Kitzhaber launched the task force early this year to write a report framing the controversy on genetically modified organisms and how theyre regulated in Oregon. Task force members held a teleconference in early June with representatives from the USDA, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and U.S. Food and Drug Administration, which jointly regulate biotechnology. Task force members followed up with two sets of questions to clarify such issues as how the government increases tolerance levels of pesticides on biotech crops. They requested a response by mid-August. As of the task forces latest meeting on Wednesday, Sept. 3, only the FDA provided responses to the questions, according to state officials at the meeting. I personally am disappointed they have not been able to come back to us with concrete responses, says Ivan Maluski, director of Friends of Family Farmers, a group thats critical of federal oversight of biotechnology. Stephanie Page of the Oregon Department of Agriculture says representatives from USDA and EPA have apologized for the delay, citing the absences of key officials. It appears that some of the … Continue reading →
