Humiliation
Humiliation and Its Impact On Our Patients — and On Us To some extent, humiliation is part and parcel of the human experience. Some make the case that minor experiences can be psychologically beneficial. The important challenge for mental health professionals is to help patients u
Idosos e açucar
O açúcar aparentemente prolonga a vida dos idosos - APA - 25/09/2014 - 787 Visualizações - - 4 estrelas [image: O açúcar aparentemente prolonga a vida dos idosos] A redução da quantidade de calorias e de açúcar é geralmente considerada uma medida importante na prevenção de doenças e para prolongar a vida. De acordo com um estudo alemão, isso parece ser verdade somente em adultos jovens e de meia-idade e pode ser o oposto nos idosos. Em modelos de camundongos, os médicos observaram que um aumento na ingestão de glicose prolongou a expectativa de vida dos a... mais »
Life origins
New molecule found in space suggests life originsSeptember 30, 2014 Dust and molecules in the central region of our Galaxy: The background image shows the dust emission in a combination of data obtained with the APEX telescope and the Planck space observatory at a wavelength around 860 micrometers. The organic molecule iso-propyl cyanide with a branched carbon backbone (i-C3H7CN, left) as well as its straight-chain isomer normal-propyl cyanide (n-C3H7CN, right) were both detected with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array in the star-forming region Sgr B2, about 300 light... mais »
Conscious recognition
Do neurons see what we tell them to see? Perception of a face's identity predicts whether a specific neuron will fire when presented with an image of blended faces September 30, 2014 Which U.S. president do you see in this merged image? (Credit: Q. Quiroga et al./Neuron) Neurons programmed to fire at specific faces may have more affect on conscious recognition of faces than the images themselves, neuroscientists have found. Subjects presented with a blended face, such as an amalgamation of Bill Clinton and George W. Bush, had significantly more firing of such face-specific neurons whe... mais »
Cells immortality
How cancer cells assure immortality by lengthening the ends of chromosomesOctober 1, 2014 Alternative lengthening of telomeres (ALT) process. When a cancer cell’s DNA breaks, the cell triggers DNA repair and helper proteins to attach to the damaged stretch of DNA and stretch it out, allowing it to search and capture complementary sequences of telomere DNA to use as a template for repair. (Credit: N. W. Cho et al./Cell) On Sept. 23, *KurzweilAI *noted that scientists at the Salk Institute had discovered an on-and-off “switch” in cells that might allow for increasing telomerase, which ... mais »
Stop spreading cancer
Hijacking the bacterial ‘communication system’ to tell cancer cells to stop spreading — or even dieOctober 3, 2014 Cancer cells on the left are pre-molecule treatment. The cells on the right are after the treatment and are dead (credit: S. Kumar) A molecule used as a bacteria communication system can be hijacked and used to prevent cancer cells from spreading — or even to die on command, University of Missouri researchers have discovered. “During an infection, bacteria release molecules which allow them to ‘talk’ to each other,” explained Senthil Kumar, an assistant research professor ... mais »

Colla, Ph.D. N Engl J Med 2014; 371:1280-1283October 2, 2014DOI: 10.1056/NEJMp1404503 Comments open through October 8, 2014 Article Efforts to reduce overuse of health care services run counter to the dominant financial incentives in our fee-for-service system, challenge the cultural assumption that more is better, and raise concerns about stinting on necessary care. Given the evidence that as much as one third of U.S. health care spending is wasteful... mais »
