Mother 'may agree to radiotherapy'

Posted: Published on December 10th, 2012

A woman who ran away with her seven-year-old son to stop him having cancer treatment said she will agree to radiotherapy if doctors find his brain tumour has returned. Sally Roberts, 37, disappeared with Neon after a dispute with her estranged husband Ben over the boy's condition and treatment. But doctors said Neon could die within months without radiotherapy and Ms Roberts has now backed down, saying her son will have to have the treatment if irregularities on a recent scan prove to be sinister. "After Neon's operation six weeks ago, when the tumour was taken out, they had another operation booked in immediately because they thought there was something else there," Ms Roberts told The Times. "Thankfully they were wrong and I'm just hoping it's the same this time." If doctors find Neon's medulloblastoma has returned, she will consent to radiotherapy despite fears that it will cause him long-term harm. "I don't think I will have a choice," she said. "I was so hopeful that we could just get on with other less harmful treatments. But I will be backed into a corner." Her apparent change of heart came after Neon's case was brought before the High Court in … Continue reading →

Bob Bare on The Business Spotlight Q

Posted: Published on December 10th, 2012

Bob Bare on The Business Spotlight Q A The Authority of Writing a Book bobbare.com Patrick: I want to get into who you serve. It's somebody that has a vision, has a message, has something to say, and wants to create a legacy. But there's more to the book publishing in there than just get it written and get some publisher to buy it. Bob: There's a lot more. To me, the power of becoming an author and the power of writing a book is in expressing your expertise, expressing your authority, expressing that you have a message. Just the fact that you've put your story together in a coherent package and you've gone through the difficult steps, oftentimes the learning curve of how to start with an idea in your mind and put it together in book form and then get it actually published -- that's a big accomplishment. People respect that accomplishment. The fact of having authored a book is a statement. It says that you are a person of substance, that you have determination, that you have the willingness to put this message out there. And even when people don't … Continue reading →

1. Introduction and Overview- Biotechnology: Panacea or Pandora’s Box NQ – Video

Posted: Published on December 10th, 2012

1. Introduction and Overview- Biotechnology: Panacea or Pandora's Box NQ Given the rapid recent advances in genomics, agriculture, transgenic biology, stem cell research and other related areas of biotechnology and a prediction that these fields will continue to mature and become increasingly more sophisticated, there is an growing need to create an informed and educated student in this area. We believe that a working knowledge of DNA, genetics, and biotechnology has become as fundamental to a basic education as an understanding of the solar system. In addition, biotechnology fields offer students career opportunities which is best recognized early in their academics so that they can make the appropriate choices to be best prepared. The rise of recent controversy and misconceptions about many areas of biotechnology including GMOs in food, vaccines and vaccination, personalized medicine, stem cell research and many other topics creates a growing educational challenge. The introduction of a general education course which concentrates on evidence based knowledge on biotechnology and is developed for a general audience with a large potential enrollment is designed to meet that challenge. In turn our experience shows that such a course serves to recruit new scientists and other participants into the careers … Continue reading →

BioCision Launches New Program to Support Stem Cell Training and Research

Posted: Published on December 10th, 2012

LARKSPUR, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- As part of its ongoing effort to support the scientific community, BioCision LLC, a leader in the advanced temperature management of biomedical samples, announced the availability of free Cool Stem Kits to academic stem cell research programs in the U.S. and Europe. Stem cells are a promising area of research for an array of treatments and cures, but cultures require frequent handling and many labs lack the equipment needed to ensure the reproducibility required for clinical research. Nearly everyone inside and outside of the scientific community agrees that stem cell research represents one of the most exciting and promising frontiers for treating a myriad of diseases and conditions, said Rolf Ehrhardt, CEO, BioCision. As an innovator of sample handing, cooling and freezing products, we felt a program like this would be of great service to the stem cell community. Each Cool Stem Kit includes recently launched, second generation cooling products: The area of stem cell research is full of unknowns, which is part of what motivates scientists, said Rick I. Cohen, Ph.D., Director of the Stem Cell Training Course at Rutgers University. When we discovered BioCisions cryopreservation products, we were eager to incorporate them into our research … Continue reading →

Gut microbes identified as new genetic fingerprint

Posted: Published on December 10th, 2012

Washington, December 10 (ANI): A new study has suggested that just as human DNA varies from person to person, so too does the massive collection of microbial DNA in the intestine. The research was conducted by researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis and the European Molecular Biology Laboratory in Heidelberg, Germany. It is the first to catalog the genetic variation of microbes that live in the gut, where they extract nutrients from food, synthesize vitamins, protect against infections, and produce compounds that naturally reduce inflammation. The widespread genetic diversity uncovered by the scientists can help them understand how our microbial genes work together with our human genes to keep us healthy or, in some cases, to cause disease. "Surprisingly, each of us can be identified by the collective DNA of our gut microbes," said corresponding author George Weinstock, PhD, associate director of The Genome Institute at Washington University. "That collection is individualized, completely analogous to our human genome. Differences in the way individuals respond to various drugs or the way they use specific nutrients can be traced to the genetic variation in our microbial genes as well as in our human genes," he stated. The researchers … Continue reading →

Population Diagnostics, Inc. and The Hospital for Sick Children Discover Novel Genetic Variants Associated with Autism …

Posted: Published on December 10th, 2012

MELVILLE, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Population Diagnostics, Inc. (PDx), a private company with a novel approach for systematically uncovering the genetic causes of disease as well as the genetic basis of drug efficacy and safety, together with collaborators from The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids) in Toronto, reported today in the journal G3 (GenesGenomesGenetics) the discovery of a collection of gene variants for autism spectrum disorder. These variants confer clinical utility and will enable a new generation of early detection diagnostic tests that will be highly sought after by the patient community. The newly discovered variants will also provide insights into the emerging field of drug discovery for autism. Our collaboration with Population Diagnostics has been very fruitful, said the primary investigator, Dr. Stephen Scherer at The Hospital for Sick Children. We set out to understand microarray platform differences in copy number variant (CNV) detection but because of PDxs technical contribution, which delineates benign variants from those that are pathogenic, we were able to effectively interpret the genome at a higher resolution than obtained with previously utilized microarrays. This focused our attention on smaller variants associated with autism. Not only were we able to confirm variants in genes that we and others … Continue reading →
