High-testosterone competitors more likely to choose red

Posted: Published on May 17th, 2013

May 16, 2013 Why do so many sports players and athletes choose to wear the color red when they compete? A new study to be published in Psychological Science, a journal of the Association for Psychological Science, suggests that it may have to do with their testosterone levels. The new study, conducted by psychological scientist Daniel Farrelly of the University of Sunderland and colleagues, demonstrated that males who chose red as their color in a competitive task had higher testosterone levels than other males who chose blue. "The research shows that there is something special about the color red in competition, and that it is associated with our underlying biological systems," says Farrelly. The researchers believe that the link may explain why many sports stars wear red clothing -- Tiger Woods, for example, famously chooses to wear a red shirt on the last day of a major competition. Choosing to wear red "may, unconsciously, signal something about their competitive nature, and it may well be something that affects how their opponents respond," Farrelly explains. Farrelly and colleagues recruited 73 men to participate in the study, and they were unaware of the study's aims. The men were told that they would … Continue reading →

Study: Even in dominoes, testosterone a factor

Posted: Published on May 17th, 2013

COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) -- A University of Missouri study has found that male testosterone levels during competition varies depending on relationships among the competitors - and may be related to the formation of alliances in war. The study, released Thursday, tracked men on the island of Dominica playing dominoes or cricket. It concluded that sporting events can bring camaraderie to a community and fuel rivalries, with testosterone levels rising or falling depending on who is involved. Anthropology professor Mark Flinn says testosterone levels increased during and after victories over strangers or rivals, but didn't change much when friends competed against each other. Offering an example, he said a Missouri game against longtime rival Kansas would likely prompt a ''huge increase'' in testosterone during the game and after a win for players and fans. ''Our hormonal reactions while competing are part of how we evolved as a cooperative species,'' Flinn said. ''The fascinating thing about humans is that whether we are watching or playing the sport, we have the ability to put interactions among the whole team in our heads.'' ---- Online: Study: http://munews.missouri.edu/news-releases/2013/0514-male-testosterone-levels-increase-when-victorious-in-competition-against-rivals-but-not-friends-mu-researchers-find/ See the rest here: Study: Even in dominoes, testosterone a factor … Continue reading →

Cheap Magnetic Helmet Detects Some Kinds of Brain Damage

Posted: Published on May 17th, 2013

Prototype spots swelling and bleeding in a pilot studybut the novel technique employed is relatively unproven. A helmet that sends a magnetic field through the wearers head might someday offer a quick way to reveal whether the brain is swelling or bleeding as the result of an injury. In a prototype of the helmet, a small halo-like coil generates a magnetic field above a persons head; another coil, just above the ears, detects the magnetic field induced in the volunteers brain. Because liquid such as blood affects the magnetic fields phase, the team behind the device was able to distinguish eight brain-injured patients from 46 healthy volunteers in a pilot study, they report in the journal PLOS One. The device does not allow researchers to create an image of the brain damage as is possible with computerized tomography (CT) scans or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), state-of-the-art techniques used in major hospitals. But it might one day offer those in more remote settings a simple, cheap method of deciding whether a patient needs to travel for advanced medical care (see Imaging Method Reveals Hidden Brain Injuries). It might also point to a way of using a helmet to detect brain injury … Continue reading →

Brain Training Helps Clear Cognitive Fog Caused by Chemotherapy

Posted: Published on May 17th, 2013

The mental fuzziness induced by cancer treatment could be eased by cognitive exercises performed online, say researchers. Brain calisthenics: A Lumosity user plays an online game. Cancer survivors sometimes suffer from a condition known as chemo foga cognitive impairment caused by repeated chemotherapy. A study hints at a controversial idea: that brain-training software might help lift this cognitive cloud. Various studies have concluded that cognitive training can improve brain function in both healthy people and those with medical conditions, but the broader applicability of these results remains controversial in the field. In a study published in the journal Clinical Breast Cancer, investigators report that those who used a brain-training program for 12 weeks were more cognitively flexible, more verbally fluent, and faster-thinking than survivors who did not train. Patients treated with chemotherapy show changes in brain structure and function in line with diffuse brain injury, and they often report long-term cognitive effects, says Shelli Kesler, a Stanford University clinical neuropsychologist who led the research. The new study suggests that cognitive training could be one possible avenue for helping to improve cognitive function in breast cancer survivors treated with chemotherapy, she says. The results may not convince everyone. One of the … Continue reading →

Research and Markets: PharmaPoint Analysis: Multiple Sclerosis – US Drug Forecast and Market Analysis to 2022

Posted: Published on May 17th, 2013

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/n5dsmq/pharmapoint) has announced the addition of the "PharmaPoint: Multiple Sclerosis - US Drug Forecast and Market Analysis to 2022" report to their offering. PharmaPoint: Multiple Sclerosis - US Drug Forecast and Market Analysis to 2022. Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic, inflammatory neurological disorder characterized pathologically by demyelination, axonal transection and neurodegeneration within the central nervous system. With curative therapy still elusive, current disease management is dependent on life-long pharmacotherapy with disease-modifying therapies (DMT). The dominance of first-line injectable DMTs, including the interferon beta (IFN) agents: Bayer's Betaseron/Betaferon (IFN-1b), Biogen's Avonex (IFN-1a) and Merck's Rebif (IFN-1a), and Teva's Copaxone (glatiramer acetate), has been a salient feature of the MS therapeutics market. However, the competitive landscape is undergoing significant change with the emergence of oral therapies, several pipeline products with notable efficacies, and looming generics/biosimilars following the patent expiries of key branded products during the forecast period. In addition, the entry of new companies such as Sanofi/Genzyme and F. Hoffmann-La-Roche/Genentech will challenge the position of the established players in the MS marketplace. The US is the largest MS market due to the high prevalence of the disease and comparatively high MS drug prices.During the forecast period, … Continue reading →

1993 Mumbai blast case: Arrest warrant against Zaibunissa Kazi and Sharif Parkar for failing to surrender

Posted: Published on May 17th, 2013

Arrest warrants have been issued against Zaibunissa Kazi and Sharif Parkar who have been convicted for their role in the 1993 Mumbai blasts case. The two, who were supposed to surrender before court today, failed to do so thus prompting the warrants. Mr Parkar is presently admitted to Prince Aly Khan Hospital in Byculla, Mumbai where he is due to undergo angioplasty. The 71-year-old Ms Kazi is reportedly undergoing medical treatment. Ms Kazi was ordered in Mrach by the Supreme Court to serve five years for her role in the 1993 serial bombings in Mumbai, one of the worst terror attacks in India. In April, her appeal to be given a month's reprieve before being sent to jail was granted by a Mumbai court on humanitarian and health grounds. Yesterday, celebrity actor Sanjay Dutt, also convicted in the Mumbai blasts case surrendered at a special court in Mumbai and returned to jail. He has already spent part of his five-year-sentence and has to serve 42 months more.
