Nyrernes dopamin regulerer blodtrykket og levetiden
The neurotransmitter dopamine is best known for its roles in the brain — in signaling pathways that control movement, motivation, reward, learning and memory. Now, Vanderbilt University investigators report in the July Journal of Clinical Investigation that dopamine produced outside the brain — in the kidneys — is important for renal function, blood pressure regulation and life span. Their studies suggest that the kidney-specific dopamine system may be a therapeutic target for treating hypertension and kidney diseases.

Genterapi givet én gang til blodkarvægge beskytter mod senere åreforkalkning (kaninstudie)
Using a gene delivery vehicle called HDAd researchers induced prolonged, stable expression of a therapeutic gene in the carotid artery wall in rabbits. The transgenes' production of apoA-1 in the cells lining the artery wall significantly retards atherosclerosis. ApoA-1 pumps bad cholesterol out of cells that form plaques. The vector didn't produce an immune response, and was placed in long-living arterial wall cells. Both account for longevity of apoA-1 production.

Vælgere er mest påvirket af, hvordan ansigtet på politikerne ser ud. Tendensen er i USA tydeligst hos lavindkomstgrupper, der ser meget TV
The looks of political candidates are a key factor influencing voters, a phenomenon identified by a number of scholars in recent years. Now, a new study by MIT political scientists adds to this body of research by detailing which types of citizens are most influenced by candidate appearances, and why: The tendency is most prevalent among low-information voters who watch a lot of television.

Forskere foreslår en simpel model, hvormed man kan forudsige, hvor store træer maksimalt kan blive på forskellige levesteder
Knowing how tall trees can grow in any given region can give ecologists a wealth of information, from the potential density of a forest and size of its tree canopy to the amount of carbon stored in woodlands and the overall health of an ecosystem. Now an MIT researcher, along with colleagues at the University of Maryland and the Santa Fe Institute in New Mexico, has come up with a simple model to predict the maximum tree height in different environments across the United States.

Editor's note: In the August issue of Scientific American, cosmologist George Ellis describes why he's skeptical about the concept of parallel universes. Here, multiverse proponent multiverse proponents Alexander Vilenkin and Max Tegmark offer counterpoints, explaining why the multiverse would account for so many features of our universe–and how it might be tested.

In the past decade an extraordinary claim has captivated cosmologists: that the expanding universe we see around us is not the only one; that billions of other universes are out there, too. There is not one universe–there is a multiverse. In Scientific American articles and books such as Brian Greene’s latest, The Hidden Reality , leading scientists have spoken of a super-Copernican revolution. In this view, not only is our planet one among many, but even our entire universe is insignificant on the cosmic scale of things. It is just one of countless universes, each doing its own thing.
The word “multiverse” has different meanings. Astronomers are able to see out to a distance of about 42 billion light-years, our cosmic visual horizon. We have no reason to suspect the universe stops there. Beyond it could be many–even infinitely many–domains much like the one we see. Each has a different initial distribution of matter, but the same laws of physics operate in all. Nearly all cosmologists today (including me) accept this type of multiverse, which Max Tegmark calls “level 1.” Yet some go further. They suggest completely different kinds of universes, with different physics, different histories, maybe different numbers of spatial dimensions. Most will be sterile, although some will be teeming with life. A chief proponent of this “level 2” multiverse is Alexander Vilenkin, who paints a dramatic picture of an infinite set of universes with an infinite number of galaxies, an infinite number of planets and an infinite number of people with your name who are reading this article.

A decade after the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991, modernization is the watchword in Russia–with science as a vital means to that end. During the spring meeting of the 14 international editions of Scientific American , we gathered in Moscow, and our hosts introduced us to many of the surrounding issues.
Scientific American has had a long history in this country, where it has been available in translation for 28 years. The edition’s head, Sergei Kapitza, is a beloved researcher, science popularizer and TV personality–the Carl Sagan of Russia. When the Soviet system unraveled, however, science took a backseat to other domestic matters. Researchers lost funding and social status, crippling the former science powerhouse. Up to 35,000 scientists emigrated–a loss that the government is now trying to rectify with targeted programs.

Autism, a developmental disorder that causes deficits in social behavior and communication, affects four times as many boys as girls. Because of this extreme gender imbalance, some scientists posit that sex hormones may contribute to the disease. Now researchers have identified for the first time a gene that may help explain the gender discrepancy and underlie some common autism symptoms.
In 2010 biologist Valerie Hu of the George Washington University Medical Center and her colleagues found that brains of people with autism have low levels of a protein produced by a gene called retinoic acid–related orphan receptor-alpha (RORA). Now they report in a study published in PLoS ONE on February 16 that this gene interacts with certain types of estrogen and testosterone found in the brain.

Everybody knows that the passage of time is not constant. Moments of terror or elation can stretch a clock tick to what seems like a life time. Yet, we do not know how the brain “constructs” the experience of subjective time. Would it not be important to know so we can find ways to make moments last, or pass by, more quickly?
A recent study by van Wassenhove and colleagues is beginning to shed some light on this problem. This group used a simple experimental set up to measure the “subjective” experience of time. They found that people accurately judge whether a dot appears on the screen for shorter, longer or the same amount of time as another dot. However, when the dot increases in size so as to appear to be moving toward the individual — i.e. the dot is “looming” — something strange happens. People overestimate the time that the dot lasted on the screen. This overestimation does not happen when the dot seems to move away. Thus, the overestimation is not simply a function of motion. Van Wassenhove and colleagues conducted this experiment during functional magnetic resonance imaging, which enabled them to examine how the brain reacted differently to looming and receding.

Bilen blev opfundet ved indgangen til det 20. &aring;rhundrede for at sikre en hurtig og fleksibel transport.
Dengang var bilen forbundet med h&oslash;j social status, og enhver snak om menneskeskabte klimaforandringer ville have lydt utrov&aelig;rdige og blasfemiske.
I dag er situationen en helt anden. Menneskeskabte klimaforandringer er blevet &rsquo;common sense&rsquo;, og vi ved, at bilismen er ansvarlig for mere end 15% af den samlede CO2-udledning i verden og cirka en tredjedel af Danmarks &aring;rlige CO2-udledning.

De 'blå lejesvende' – det engelske departement

>div class="field field-type-text field-field-subheader"<Det var ikke kunne USA og Sovjetunionen der kæmpede om sympati via omfattende propagandaprogrammer, da Den Kolde Krig rasede.

En social genopfindelse af bilen

>div class="field field-type-text field-field-subheader"<Bilkøer koster samfundet tid og penge, og nødvendiggør enten massive investeringer i infrastruktur eller radikal nytænkning i fremtiden. Nye løsninger skal både være økonomisk og miljømæssigt bæredygtige.
Bilen blev opfundet ved indgangen til det 20. &aring;rhundrede for at sikre en hurtig og fleksibel transport.
Dengang var bilen forbundet med h&oslash;j social status, og enhver snak om menneskeskabte klimaforandringer ville have lydt utrov&aelig;rdige og blasfemiske.
I dag er situationen en helt anden. Menneskeskabte klimaforandringer er blevet &rsquo;common sense&rsquo;, og vi ved, at bilismen er ansvarlig for mere end 15% af den samlede CO2-udledning i verden og cirka en tredjedel af Danmarks &aring;rlige CO2-udledning.

Etiska problem när planerade operationer ställs in
Planerade operationer ställs ibland in när akuta fall måste prioriteras. Sjukhuset förlorar pengar och tappar i effektivitet. Patienten som förberett sig mentalt på att genomgå ett ingrepp får vänta. Det här får både etiska, psykologiska och medicinska konsekvenser, hävdar forskare vid Uppsala universitet, Karolinska Institutet och Karolinska universitetssjukhuset i en artikel i Clinical Ethics.

Ny bok om svensk-sovjetiska relationer
Nikita Chrusjtjov ledde Sovjetunionen från mitten av 1950-talet till 1964. Boken "Peaceful Coexistence" beskriver de svensk-sovjetiska relationerna under denna dramatiska period när exempelvis Kuba-krisen ägde rum. Öst står mot väst, stormakt mot stormakt. Och någonstans däremellan finns den alliansfria småstaten Sverige.

Temperaturhöjning förstärker effekt av luftföroreningar
De riktlinjer som gäller i hela EU för vilken kvävebelastning olika ekosystem tål bör anpassas till lokala förhållanden i de olika länderna. Ny forskning visar nämligen att klimat och lokala förhållanden är viktigare för effekten av kvävenedfallet än själva mängden kväve.

Strålning är osynlig, och har fram till idag också varit ohörbar. Nu blir det ändring på det när KTH-professorn Bo Cederwall tillsammans med discjockeyn och musikern Axel Boman samt konstnären Kristofer Hagbard förvandlar strålning till vacker musik.

Buffertzon kan skydda rödlistade arter
När man sparar nyckelbiotoper i skogen bör de vara tillräckligt stora och omges av en buffertzon. På så sätt skyddas uttorkningskänsliga arter mot stark solinstrålning och deras värdträd från att falla.

En tredjedel av Europas skogar visar vikande vitalitet
Skogarna i Europa har under senaste decenniet drabbats av sommarhetta och torka i större utsträckning än tidigare. Det är en anledning till den vikande vitalitet som registrerats i en tredjedel av dessa skogar. I Sverige har skogarna också påverkats av stormar och utbrott av skadegörare. Det visar EU-projektet FutMon, som är knutet till SLU:s fortlöpande miljöanalys, program Skog.

Kraftiga förskjutningar i humlefaunan kan vara ett hot mot pollineringen
Fördelningen mellan olika humlearter har förändrats kraftigt i svenska rödklöverodlingar under de senaste 70 åren. Samtidigt har skördarna av rödklöverfrö minskat och det har blivit betydligt större skillnader mellan åren. Idag står två humlearter för merparten av pollineringen i rödklöver, och detta tycks alltså ha försämrat odlingssäkerheten. Det visar forskare från SLU och Lunds universitet.

Hotad pigghaj till salu
Det mänskliga behovet av en lustfylld fritid leder till en allt hårdare belastning på miljön i Västerhavet. Det framgår av rapporten Västerhavet 2011 som ges ut av havsrelaterade myndigheter utmed västkusten. Fritidsbåtarna och hamnarna blir allt fler och konsumtionen av hotade fiskarter fortsätter. Till exempel säljs pigghaj fortfarande i stor omfattning, trots totalt fiskeförbud.

Så kan havre göras mer köldtålig för höstsådd
Havre är naturligt tolerant mot ohyra och ogräs. Därför är havre en viktig rotationsgröda, då de växter som odlas efter havre på samma plats också klarar sig med mindre besprutning. Nackdelen är att havre inte kan odlas som höstgröda. Nu har forskare från Göteborgs universitet börjat bygga upp en mer köldtålig havresort.

Forskning om försök att förbättra människors hälsa genom att skapa bättre bostadsområden
Det finns stora skillnader i hälsa beroende på människors utbildning, sociala och ekonomiska villkor, etnicitet, ålder och kön. Ojämlikheter i hälsa blir särskilt tydliga när man jämför olika bostadsområden. Folkhälsoforskaren Karin Fröding vid Örebro universitet har undersökt fyra kommuners försök att utveckla hela bostadsområden för att förbättra människors hälsa.

Vatten kan flyta vid minus 130 grader
När vatten kyls under noll grader kristalliserar det vanligtvis direkt till is. Ove Andersson, fysiker vid Umeå universitet, har nu lyckats producera trögflytande vatten vid minus 130 grader under högt tryck – 10 000 gånger högre än normaltrycket. Det är möjligt att detta trögflytande och kalla vatten kan existera på andra himlakroppar.

Ny metod avbildar molekyler inuti celler
Med en ny provhållare som möjliggör snabb nedfrysning har forskare vid Göteborgs universitet vidareutvecklat en ny metod att avbilda enskilda celler. Därmed kan man skapa ögonblicksbilder som inte bara visar cellens konturer utan också vilka molekyler som finns inuti eller på cellen och exakt var de befinner sig, något som är omöjligt i ett vanligt mikroskop.

The science of St Swithun's 40-day weather forecast
<published>2011-07-19T16:18:00Z</published><updated>2011-07-19T16:19:08Z</updated>
Last Friday it poured down in the UK – not an uncommon occurrence in the British summer. But Friday 15 July was http://www.metro.co.uk/news/869370-st-swithins-rain-could-last-a-mo nth-forecasters-warn St Swithun's Day , and according to legend, Brits now face a miserable August. For forty days it will remain St Swithun's day if thou be fair For forty days 'twill rain nae mare </blockquote> , a 9th-century Anglo-Saxon bishop, might have gained a reputation as a posthumous weatherman, but the bold, long-term forecasts traditionally associated with his feast day have a poor track record. Rain on St Swithun's Day has never – at least since records began in 1861 – resulted in forty consecutive days of rain. Yet, surprisingly, there is some science behind the legend. ]]>The http://www.newscientist.com/article/mg20727730.101-frozen-jet-stream -links-pakistan-floods-russian-fires.html jet stream , a ribbon of wind which flies around the globe at up to 320 kilometres per hour, 7 to 12 kilometres above ground, forms a front between the cold, wet conditions to the north and the warm, dry sub-tropical air to the south. At this time of year, the position of the jet stream tends to stabilise, offering northern Europe a relatively settled pattern of weather that may last until late August. It's hardly surprising, then, that Swithun's isn't the only day with links to the summer weather in Europe. In France, http://www.katc.com/news/june-8-st-medards-dayrain-for-40-days/ S t Medard's Day is marked on 8 June, and also carries a 40-day prediction for wet or dry weather. The Germans mark http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seven_Sleepers_Day Seven Sleepers Day on 27 June – the weather on that day supposedly determines the average weather for the following seven weeks. And the Belgians celebrate http://thewidowsweeds.blogspot.com/2011/07/6-july-st-godelieve.html" >St Godelieve's Day on 6 July. Again, a washout foretells 40 days of rain.]]></entry><entry>

Large and active: new volcanoes found beneath the sea
<published>2011-07-19T14:09:00Z</published><updated>2011-07-19T14:11:18Z</updated>
(Image: British Antarctic Survey) The http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Age_of_Discovery age of discovery may be long past, but some areas of our planet remain largely uncharted. In one of those black spots – near the South Sandwich Islands in the Southern Ocean – the http://www.antarctica.ac.uk/ British Antarctic Survey (BAS) has discovered a previously unknown chain of volcanoes. The tallest of the volcanoes rises over 3 kilometres above the ocean floor, giving Italy's http://www.newscientist.com/article/mg19125654.500-seismic-scan-of- etna-reveals-an-eruption-in-the-making.html Mount Etna a run for its money in terms of size. These volcanoes are last known to have erupted in 1962, when British naval vessels discovered large patches of floating pumice in the area. And, according to Philip Leat, a member of the BAS team, "there is a definite risk of further eruptions". ]]>The researchers used ship-borne seismic surveying of the seafloor to discover the 12 underwater volcanoes, seven of which they say are still active today. Fortunately, the cones are too far from human habitation to pose much of an eruption risk – yet, this is not the only threat these volcanoes pose. The research team also discovered several craters, ranging up to 5 km in diameter, on the nearby ocean floor. These craters are thought to have been caused by volcanoes collapsing. When volcanoes on land collapse, they can cause devastating landslides. If they are near – or beneath – the sea, these landslides can trigger tsunamis. Mount Etna did so during an eruption 8500 years ago, and http://www.newscientist.com/article/mg19225814.600-how-etnas-neolit hic-hiccup-set-off-a-tsunami.html took out several Neolithic villages in the eastern Mediterranean in the process. This new volcanic chain has clearly generated tsunamis in the past and it is likely to continue to do so in the future, says Leat. "There is so much that we don't understand about volcanic activity beneath the sea – it's likely that volcanoes are erupting or collapsing all the time." Again, however, their remoteness should limit any danger they pose to human life. "Any wave produced is likely to be attenuated by the size of the Pacific Ocean," says Leat. Ultimately, the volcanoes may be significant not for their destructive potential but for the life they help to sustain. The BAS team discovered a series of hydrothermal vents during their survey, which are known to provide a unique opportunity for http://www.newscientist.com/article/mg21128193.700-deep-sea-gold-r ush-mining-hydrothermal-vents.html organisms to thrive deep underwater . Similar vents may have http://www.newscientist.com/article/mg20527461.100-first-breath-earth s-billionyear-struggle-for-oxygen.html?full=true offered life a sanctuary deep in the Earth's past when http://www.newscientist.com/article/mg16422115.000-snowball-earth.ht ml much of its surface was frozen . It has also been suggested that thermal vents could provide http://www.newscientist.com/article/mg20527531.700-weird-worlds-eu ropa-enceladus-and-triton.html opportunities for life on Jupiter's moon Europa . Leat discussed the findings at last week's http://www.isaes2011.org.uk/ International Symposium on Antarctic Earth Sciences in Edinburgh, UK. ]]></entry><entry>

A pair of probes designed to study Earth's auroras are now circling the moon.
The probes were the two outermost of five spacecraft originally in an Earth-orbiting, aurora-studying mission called THEMIS. After the two probes http://www.newscientist.com/blogs/shortsharpscience/2010/07/aurora-m ission-makes-detour-to.html finished that mission , ground controllers started to widen their orbits in July 2009, so they could be captured into lunar orbit.
The move was a matter of life and death, as a http://newscenter.berkeley.edu/2011/07/13/twin-artemis-probes-to-stud y-moon-in-3-d/ press release for UC Berkeley, mission control for the probes, explains:
One probe entered lunar orbit on 27 June and the other arrived on Sunday. Now called ARTEMIS, the two spacecraft will study the moon's tenuous atmosphere and the solar wind's interactions with the lunar surface.

Dawn captures first orbital image of asteroid Vesta
<published>2011-07-18T21:24:00Z</published><updated>2011-07-19T16:25:57Z</updated>
The giant asteroid Vesta is revealed as never before in the first image of it taken from orbit. Craters, ridges and mountains all have stories to tell about the history of this asteroid.
]]>
NASA's http://dawn.jpl.nasa.gov/ Dawn spacecraft was captured into orbit around http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/4_Vesta Vesta on Saturday. Vesta is 530 kilometres across and is the second most massive asteroid in the solar system, after http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ceres_%28dwarf_planet%29 Ceres .
Now NASA has released a new image taken from orbit that shows the asteroid's scarred surface in unprecedented detail, with a resolution of just 1.4 kilometres.
The image, taken from a distance of 15,000 kilometres, shows a face pockmarked with craters of various sizes. There are also intriguing grooves running along the surface, a big cliff at upper right and a massive mountain dominating the centre of the image, which Phil Plait of Bad Astronomy http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2011/07/18/dawn-of- a-new-vesta/ reckons is more than 100 kilometres wide.
You can see some of this topography in a 3D image taken on 9 July, before Dawn slipped into orbit. Use red-blue glasses to view it (left eye: red, right eye: blue – otherwise you see it inside out).
http://www.newscientist.com/blogs/shortsharpscience/assets_c/2011/07/ vestacollage-133187.html" onclick="window.open('http://www.newscientist.com/blogs/shortsharpscience/ assets_c/2011/07/vestacollage-133187.html','popup','width=600,height=460,s crollbars=no,resizable=no,toolbar=no,directories=no,location=no,menubar=no ,status=no,left=0,top=0'); return false <img src="http://www.newscientist.com/blogs/shortsharpscience/assets_c/2011/07/v estacollage-thumb-600×460-133187.jpg" width="600" height="460" alt="vestacollage.jpg" class="mt-image-left" style="float: left; margin: 0 20px 20px 0;" />
The last image puts things in perspective and shows why scientists are so excited about seeing Vesta up close, even though several other asteroids have been visited by spacecraft before.
It shows the relative sizes of Vesta and seven other asteroids previously seen up close by space probes. Tiny 0.5-km http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn9257-rubbly-itokawa-revealed-a s-impossible-asteroid.html Itokawa looks like a dust mote on your screen and even 130-km http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/21_Lutetia Lutetia , previously the largest asteroid visited by a spacecraft, is dwarfed by Vesta.
Vesta is big enough that in many ways it is like a planet, with a round shape and metal core like Earth's surrounded by a rocky mantle and crust. By studying Vesta, astronomers hope to http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn20621-asteroid-protoplanet-may -hold-clues-to-earth-formation.html learn more about planet formation and the history of the solar system.
Dawn team members have not said much yet about the new images, but it's probably fair to say they're drooling over them.
"It is fantastically exciting that we will begin providing humankind its first detailed views of one of the last unexplored worlds in the inner solar system," mission manager Marc Rayman of NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, said in a press release.

Howling haboob smothers Phoenix
<published>2011-07-18T09:34:00Z</published><updated>2011-07-18T09:35:04Z</updated>
During the dust storm, which hit the city on 5 July, there was near-zero visibility and winds of up to 110 kilometres per hour, according to the http://www.wrh.noaa.gov/psr/pns/2011/July/DustStorm.php" target="nsarticle Phoenix office of the US National Weather Service .
]]>
Radar data suggests that the dust storm travelled 240 kilometres in total, with the dust reaching 1800 metres in altitude. The storm's leading edge stretched for almost 160 kilometres.
Meteorologists classify this kind of storm as a haboob. These are formed when thunderstorms release their precipitation, causing the strong winds that were being sucked into the storm to blow downwards and outwards instead. If the thunderstorm "collapses" over a desert, the strength of these winds stir up the dust and sand.
In this case, the haboob arose as a result of severe thunderstorms east of Tucson, which is located on ground 460 metres higher than Phoenix. The winds that resulted were in excess of 70 kilometres per hour. These tore down through the dustbowl that has developed between the cities, thanks to the area receiving less than half the normal rainfall since the end of last summer. The dust storm was born.
As the dust wall hit Phoenix, trees were felled, traffic crawled to a stop to avoid chain collisions and pileups, and aircraft were grounded. The city, from swimming pools to cars, became coated in brown dust.
The following day NASA's http://www.wrh.noaa.gov/psr/pns/2011/July/DustStorm.php" target="nsarticle Terra satellite took an image of a grey-beige plume north-east of Phoenix, showing the lingering remnants of the haboob.
Across Arizona, over 100 dust storms have been reported in the past decade, according to the US National Climate Data Center. On average three dust storms a year hit Phoenix. However, local meteorologists say this storm was among the most severe they have seen in 30 years.

Melt ponds shine in the Arctic's summer icescape

At a glance, the landscape looks almost tropical. But instead of warm white sands dotted with turquoise lagoons, a frozen sea gives way to freshwater melt ponds in this recent photo of the Arctic ice. As the ice melts in the sun, liquid water pools and deepens irregular ponds.
Researchers from NASA's http://www.espo.nasa.gov/icescape/ ICESCAPE mission are studying changes in plankton, water chemistry, and temperature in these unique pools which form only in the summer to evaluate the impact of climate change.

Hypoallergenic baby formula fails to prevent allergies
<published>2011-07-15T15:40:00Z</published><updated>2011-07-15T15:40:59Z</updated>
A Nestlé-sponsored study to assess the effects of hypoallergenic baby formula casts doubt on their ability to prevent baby's developing allergies later in life. The findings – from a study of over 600 babies – contradict http://www.allergy.org.au/images/stories/pospapers/ascia_infantfeedinga dvice_oct08.pdf advice from the http://www.allergy.org.au/ Australasian Society of Clinical Immunology that hypoallergenic formula can prevent allergies. Some 40 per cent of American children have http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmedhealth/PMH0001816/ allergic rhinitis , which includes http://www.newscientist.com/article/mg18624951.900-filthy-friends-and -the-rise-of-allergies.html?full=true hay fever and allergies to dust mites and cat dander . And eczema affects more than 15 per cent of children in Europe and the US. ]]>To see if the specially designed partially hydrolysed whey formula could reduce these figures, Adrian Lowe at the http://www.mcri.edu.au/ Murdoch Children's Institute in Melbourne, Australia, and colleagues http://www.jacionline.org/article/S0091-6749%2810%2900740-2/abstr act gave 620 high risk babies – those with a family history of allergies – either hypoallergenic (HA) formula, cows' milk or soy formulas, after their mothers stopped breastfeeding. The infants were given skin-prick allergy tests for milk, egg, peanut, dust mite, rye grass and cat dander when they were six, 12 and 24 months old. Follow-up assessments were made when the children were six or seven years old. , at two and seven years of age there was no difference in allergy rates between the groups – a finding that Lowe described as a "disappointment". In a media statement, he said that mother's with high risk infants should breast feed, for its http://www.newscientist.com/article/mg19926641.700-making-formula- milk-more-like-mums.html many known benefits . "If parents need to move on to formula that decision need not be based on the belief that one formula will reduce the risk of allergies compared to another," said Lowe. According to an http://news.smh.com.au/breaking-news-national/doubt-cast-on-formula- allergy-benefits-20110714-1hekv.html AAP article , Nestlé, still defends its HA formula. "There have been at least http://www2.cochrane.org/reviews/en/ab003664.html eight different meta-analyses conducted and all conclude that HA is recommended for reducing the allergy risk in high-risk infants," a Nestlé spokeswoman told AAP. But http://sydney.edu.au/medicine/people/academics/profiles/jennieb.php J ennie Brand-Miller from the University of Sydney's Boden Institute of Obesity, Nutrition, Exercise and Eating Disorders, who was not involved in the research, told http://theconversation.edu.au/hypoallergenic-baby-formula-does-not-red uce-allergy-risk-2327 The Conversation , an independent Australian website run by academics, that the findings are "unambiguous". This study will change current clinical practice and it will simplify the messages that health professionals need to give mothers and carers, she said. http://www.jacionline.org/article/S0091-6749%2810%2900740-2/abstr act < i>Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, DOI: 10.1016/j.jaci.2010.05.006 ]]></entry><entry>

Newest country on track to kill ancient disease
<published>2011-07-14T15:54:00Z</published><updated>2011-07-14T15:55:02Z</updated>
< i>Education will help (Image: CDC/Carter Center)
It isn't often these days that a whole new country comes into being. But that just happened, with the official hiving off of South Sudan from the rest of Sudan on 9 July.
Sudan always was an improbably huge result of post-colonial border invention, and the near-permanent civil war between the country's north and south ever since seems evidence enough that this split is a good idea. Certainly the http://www.enoughproject.org/blogs/video-south-sudan-independence-c elebration South Sudanese think so .
But it's got a potentially http://www.newscientist.com/article/mg20927961.600-a-vote-against-th e-guinea-worm.html huge peace dividendfor the world as well . South Sudan is the last refuge of one of humanity's oldest diseases, http://www.newscientist.com/article/mg20527511.600-parasite-lost-ext erminating-africas-horror-worms.html guinea worm . People drink the worms' larvae in stagnant water, then a year later the adult worm emerges through the skin, so painfully that the victim immediately plunges the affected area into… the nearest pond. The worm instantly releases its eggs and the cycle continues.
<div> ]]>
There are no drugs and no vaccine. So the only way to stop this is to keep each and every person with a worm from putting it in water sources -and to kill worms in ponds with pesticide, and give people filters for drinking water. Clean wells are the ultimate, but the geology of South Sudan – as well as poverty and war – makes them difficult to drill there.
A long campaign led by the http://www.cartercenter.org/index.html Carter Center in Atlanta, Georgia, set up by the former US president, has now beaten the worm back from 20,000 cases in 2006, to just 1793 cases in only four countries in 2010. And of those, Ghana and Mali have reported no cases at all http://www.cartercenter.org/resources/pdfs/news/health_publications/gui nea_worm/wrap-up/205.pdf so far this year ,and Ethiopia only three. Chad was re-infested, but cases are down from 10 last year to only two so far this year. Fingers crossed.
South Sudan's the tough one, with 1698 known cases last year. And this year there had been 371 by April, up 18 per cent on the same period lastyear. Ernesto Ruiz-Tiben, head of the guinea worm eradication at the Carter Center, says the reason, ironically, is the independence vote last year.
The campaign depends on local volunteers who care for each person with an emerging worm and keep them away from water. Fears of election unrest meant the foreign staff who support the volunteers were pulled out for a short time. So not every emerging worm was caught, and some spread infection. The worms take a year to appear, so those cases are emerging now.
Otherwise, says Ruiz-Tiben, one of the four parts of the country where worms were spreading has had no cases so far this year. Hopes that we could nail the worm in South Sudan by 2012 now seem unlikely, but if this year is good, 2013 is possible.
Meanwhile the volunteers must keep watch on 6000 villages where the wormcould return – and diseases that are essentially gone are hard to keep watching for. The key thing, says Ruiz-Tiben, is peace. Even though the larger war seems over, pastoralist tribes still fight over water rights for cattle.
That makes the country's independence http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn19975-southern-sudans-votes-co uld-kill-an-ancient-disease.html centralto the story . "South Sudan will get more attention as an independent country," says Ruiz-Tiben. "But to get peace it must put that aid to work giving the people what it promised – health care, education, jobs."The http://www.newscientist.com/article/mg21128214.100-crop-disease-to- add-to-east-africas-woes.html drought in east Africa ,which affects two of the three remaining worm-afflicted regions, doesn't help.
But peace is already helping. "Before, when you went to the really remoteplaces we monitor, people had nothing but rags. There were not even anyplastic or metal goods that came from outside – except guns. Now, people have more."
I hope that continues, not just for the longsuffering South Sudanese, but for all the people who will never know the agony of guinea worm – iftheir revolution succeeds.
