This is an illustration depicting liposomal OTS964 entering cancer cells where it blocks the enzyme TOPK, preventing the final stage of cell division. A new drug, known as OTS964, can eradicate aggressive human lung cancers transplanted into mice, according to a report in Science Translational Medicine. The drug, given as a pill or by injection, inhibits the action of a protein that is overproduced by several tumor types, including lung and breast, but is rarely expressed in healthy adult tissues. Without this protein, cancer cells fail to complete the cell-division process and die. When taken by mouth, the drug was well tolerated with limited toxicity. An intravenous form, delivered ...
Thermal paper cash register receipts account for high bisphenol A (BPA) levels in humans

Bisphenol A (BPA) is a chemical that is used in a variety of consumer products, such as water bottles, dental composites and resins used to line metal food and beverage containers, and also is used in thermal paper cash register receipts. Now, research conducted at the University of Missouri is providing the first data that BPA from thermal paper used in cash register receipts accounts for high levels of BPA in humans. Subjects studied showed a rapid increase of BPA in their blood after using a skin care product and then touching a store receipt with BPA. "BPA first was developed by a biochemist and tested as an artificial estrogen supplement," said Frederick vom Saal, ...

With the newly minted Ebola "czar" now in place, it is time to take a look at how to treat future Ebola patients. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has released updated guidelines, including equipment and processes, to better protect healthcare workers from the virus; however, this is just one aspect of the care for such patients. To date, one patient was taken care of in a community hospital environment, and that endeavor ended poorly. With no slowing of the spread of Ebola in western Africa, the probability of another Ebola patient entering a community hospital in the United States is still concerning. In looking at the lessons learned in the case of Mr ...

Hospital Throws Mom Out for Breastfeeding Melissa Walker October 24, 2014 Photo by KCBD “I’m so furious and upset. I just got thrown out of my ObyGyn/Pediatrician’s office for breastfeeding!” Erin Peña posted those words on the Facebook wall of KCBD News Channel 11 in Lubbock, Texas, this week after she says she was asked to leave University Medical Center (UMC) for breastfeeding her 4-month-old child, which is completely within her rights. Not to mention a pediatrician’s office is certainly an unexpected place for such a request to be made of a new mom waiting for her baby’s vaccine appointment. Peña tells Yahoo Parenting that if she’d ...

Aussie surgeons transplant "dead" heart

SYDNEY, Oct. 24 (Xinhua) -- Australian surgeons said on Friday that they have made a major breakthrough by making a dead heart beat again and successfully use it in a transplant. Previously, surgeons relied on donor hearts from brain-dead patients whose hearts were still beating. But director of Sydney's St Vincent's Hospital Heart Lung Transplant Unit, Prof. Peter MacDonald, told a press conference that the successful surgery meant many more "dead" hearts could be used in transplants. "In all our years, our biggest hindrance has been the limited availability of organ donors," MacDonald told reporters. MacDonald said the hospital had recently successfully ...

Johns Hopkins Scientist Reveals Shocking Report on Flu Vaccines by SYLVIA BOOTH HUBBARD A Johns Hopkins scientist has issued a blistering report on influenza vaccines in the British Medical Journal (BMJ). Peter Doshi, Ph.D., charges that although the vaccines are being pushed on the public in unprecedented numbers, they are less effective and cause more side effects than alleged by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Further, says Doshi, the studies that underlie the CDC’s policy of encouraging most people to get a yearly flu shot are often low quality studies that do not substantiate the official claims. Promoting influenza vaccines is one of the most visible and ...
Finally: Missing link between vitamin D, prostate cancer

ScienceDaily: A University of Colorado Cancer Center study recently published in the journal Prostate offers compelling evidence that inflammation may be the link between Vitamin D and prostate cancer. Specifically, the study shows that the gene GDF-15, known to be upregulated by Vitamin D, is notably absent in samples of human prostate cancer driven by inflammation. "When you take Vitamin D and put it on prostate cancer cells, it inhibits their growth. But it hasn't been proven as an anti-cancer agent. We wanted to understand what genes Vitamin D is turning on or off in prostate cancer to offer new targets," says James R. Lambert, PhD, investigator at the CU Cancer Center ...
Exposure to aluminum may impact on male fertility, research suggests

ScienceDaily: New research from scientists in the UK and France suggests that human exposure to aluminum may be a significant factor in falling sperm counts and reduced male fertility. Fluorescence microscopy using an aluminum-specific stain confirmed the presence of aluminum in semen and showed aluminum inside individual sperm. And the team of scientists, at the universities of Lyon and Saint-Etienne in France and Keele in the UK, found that the higher the aluminum, the lower sperm count. The research, led by Professor Christopher Exley, a leading authority on human exposure to aluminum at Keele, and Professor Michele Cottier, a specialist in cytology and histology at Saint-Etienne, ...

Medscape I'm Art Caplan, from the Division of Medical Ethics at the New York University (NYU) Langone Medical Center. What do you think the biggest source of controversy has been about the Ebola epidemic? Is it whether we have enough resources deployed in West Africa to contain the epidemic? Is it arguing back and forth about whether a travel ban makes sense? It's none of those. The actual point of controversy that drove the most Internet traffic was the euthanasia of a dog, Excalibur, in Spain. The dog was part of a quarantine order in Spain when a person came down with Ebola who had been treating a patient who had the disease. This person was at home with her dog, and Spanish ...

WASHINGTON, October 23 (RIA Novosti) - Oil and gas companies are exploiting federal loopholes to frack with cancer-causing petroleum-based products, a report by the Environmental Integrity Project (EIP) said. "Despite a federal ban on the use of diesel fuel in hydraulic fracturing without a permit, several oil and gas companies are exploiting a Safe Drinking Water Act loophole, pushed through by Halliburton to frack with petroleum-based products, containing even more dangerous toxic chemicals than diesel," a statement published on the watchdog's website Wednesday said. The group found that one of the primary ingredients in fluids, used in fracking, contains a highly toxic ...

PHILADELPHIA — The biggest viral disease outbreak has nothing to do with Ebola. It is Chikungunya virus, and it is sweeping the Americas. The primary symptoms are fever and polyarthralgia. "Chikungunya, in the Makonde language of Tanzania and northern Mozambique, means that which bends over or dries up," said Lyle Petersen, MD, from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in Fort Collins, Colorado. Unlike the Dengue virus, where most infections are asymptomatic, 72% to 97% of people infected with the Chikungunya virus develop clinical symptoms. The incubation period is usually 3 to 7 days, with a range of 1 to 12 days, Dr Petersen reported here at IDWeek 20 ...

Easy health digest If you want to measure your health and get a good idea of your life expectancy, a study at the University of Chicago shows there’s one unexpected symptom you had better examine carefully. Surprisingly, the researchers found that for older adults, a significant decline in your sense of smell may be a sign that your well-being is destined for serious problems. During the five-year study, 39 percent of the people in the research who failed a test of their ability to smell various odors died in contrast to 19 percent of the people who had experienced a moderate smell loss and only 10 percent of the participants who retained a dependable sense of smell.

Two Scientists Say Ebola Originated In US Bio-warfare Lab UPDATE: As I read this notice from ClinicalTrials.gov, a service of the US National Institutes of Health, the US Government and Pharmaceutical corporations have been conducting ebola tests on humans.clinicaltrials.gov/show/NCT02041 715 This is official confirmation of Dr. Boyle and Dr. Broderick’s reports that the US government has conducted ebola experiments. Perhaps the vaccine was not effective, and those on whom the experiment was conducted came down with ebola and perhaps also employees in the US bio-warfare laboratories located in Africa where the experiment was conducted. It appears that the test consists of giving an ...

Medscape... Diet and lifestyle changes may play an important role in cancer pathogenesis. Yang and fellow American Cancer Society investigators analyzed the role of calcium, vitamin D, and dairy product intake before and after diagnosis of nonmetastatic colorectal cancer. The study population comprised 2284 participants in a prospective cohort study. In multivariate analysis, post-diagnosis total calcium intake was inversely associated with all-cause mortality (relative risk [RR] for those in the highest relative to the lowest quartiles, 0.72; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.53-0.98; Ptrend = .02). An inverse association with all-cause mortality was also observed for postdiagnosis milk ...

Are you a half glass full or a half empty person by nature? Its seems that our temperaments may be tied to the time of year we exit the womb. We have all heard that seasons can affect our frame of mind, but new research is suggesting that the season of your birth can really determine your mood later in life, even indicating a risk for associated behavioural disorders. New findings presented this week by a Hungarian research team at a medical conference in Germany claim that those born in springtime were excessively positive, while summer babies were more likely to have mood swings. The study goes on to say that those born in winter tend to suffer from less irritability later on as adults ...

Way You Walk Affects Mood: Study Saturday, 18 Oct 2014 09:25 AM The way you walk can affect your mood, according to a new study. Previous research has shown that depressed people move differently from happy people, according to study co-author Nikolaus Troje, a senior fellow at the Canadian Institute for Advanced Research. "It is not surprising that our mood, the way we feel, affects how we walk, but we want to see whether the way we move also affects how we feel," he said in an institute news release. For this study, participants were shown a list of positive and negative words -- words like "pretty" and "afraid." They were then asked to walk on a ...

"You might need an Ebola czar and you might need a doctor, but what we got is a spin doctor here," Buchanan said of Klain, who was a former chief of staff for both Vice Presidents Joe Biden and Al Gore as well as having held a host of other political positions, including a lobbyist for Fannie Mae. ...
