Canadian researchers report that blocked veins in head, neck don't prompt autoimmune disease
WebMD News from HealthDay
By Robert Preidt
HealthDay Reporter
WEDNESDAY, Aug. 14 (HealthDay News) -- New research finds that there is no evidence that multiple sclerosis is associated with reduced or blocked blood flow in the veins of the head or neck.
The study results challenge a controversial theory that a condition called chronic cerebrospinal venous insufficiency (CCSVI) -- a narrowing of veins that drain blood from the brain and upper spinal cord -- is associated with MS. The theory also holds that patients would benefit from using balloon angioplasty or stents to widen the veins, a treatment called liberation therapy.
However, this Canadian study of 100 people with MS found no abnormalities in the veins in their neck or brain. The findings were published online Aug. 14 in the journal PLoS One.
Each patient underwent ultrasound and an MRI of brain and neck veins on the same day. The research team included a radiologist and two ultrasound technicians who received training in liberation therapy.
"[The results] provide compelling evidence against the involvement of CCSVI in MS," principal investigator Ian Rodger, a professor emeritus in the School of Medicine of McMaster University in Ontario, said in a university news release. "Our findings bring a much needed perspective to the debate surrounding venous angioplasty for MS patients."
Posting too many Facebook photos can damage your relationships and friendships, a new study has found.
Take it easy with your Facebook pics, lest your real-life relationships suffer, a new British study suggests.
Sharing too many photos on social media can damage those relationships, according to the study by researchers at four universities in the United Kingdom.
"It?s worth remembering that the information we post to our ?friends? on Facebook, actually gets viewed by lots of different categories of people," said lead researcher David Houghton, a lecturer at the University of Birmingham Business School. "Each group seems to take a different view of the information shared."
For partners in relationships, sharing more pictures of events or of family was accompanied by a rise in intimacy in their relationship, according to the study. But partners who shared more photographs of their friends saw their intimacy drop in their relationship, the researchers found.
The same was true for people's close friendships: Posting too many photos of friends garnered a user less support from their close friend, and that close friendship could suffer.
The solution, according to the study's authors? "Some form of information control," they said.
That could mean posting fewer photos, getting choosier about whom you friend, adjusting your privacy settings or creating friend groups with different access to your photos.
Miao Yu receives Howard Hughes Medical Institute fellowshipPublic release date: 14-Aug-2013 [ | E-mail | Share ]
Contact: Steve Koppes skoppes@uchicago.edu 773-702-8366 University of Chicago
The Howard Hughes Medical Institute has awarded an International Predoctoral Student Research Fellowship to Miao Yu, a graduate student in chemistry at the University of Chicago. Yu is one of 42 international predoctoral students to receive the fellowship this year.
This fellowship, which provides $43,000 annually for up to three years, supports outstanding international graduate students studying in the United States who are ineligible for fellowships or training grants through U.S. federal agencies.
Yu works in the research group of chemistry Professor Chuan He, who was named an HHMI Investigator earlier this year. Yu completed her bachelor's degree in 2010 from Peking University. Working there as a member of Zhang-Jie Shi's group, Yu co-authored three publications as an undergraduate.
It was at Peking where Yu learned of He's work. "Chuan is always looking for something new and not sticking to one area of research," Yu said. "Our group has many subgroups. We're interested in many aspects of biology and chemistry, including RNA and DNA modifications. That's why I came here."
Yu had previously received the Sumitomo Corporation Scholarship at Peking University, and the Helen Sellei-Beretvas Fellowship of UChicago's chemistry department.
"We hope that the HHMI award will encourage each student to build on their already considerable accomplishments, to apply creativity to current problems and to explore new ideas, to venture forward without fear, and to take risks as they work to solve difficult problems," said David J. Asai, senior director in science education at HHMI.
As a graduate student at UChicago she has co-authored seven papers that have been published or accepted for publication. She was lead author of a paper published last year in Cell, a rare distinction for a second-year graduate student.
In the Cell paper, Yu and her 12 co-authors described a technique that they had successfully developed and tested called TET-Assisted Bisulfite Sequencing (TAB-Seq), which enabled them to reveal previously unseen information in DNA. The team used the technique to map two DNA modifications (5-methylcytosine and 5-hydroxymethylcytosine) in DNA from human and mouse embryonic stem cells, unspecialized cells that under certain contains can develop into a variety of cell types. The team's studies showed that these DNA modifications play major roles in gene regulation in fundamental life processes, and provided the first genome-wide method for base-resolution sequencing of both modifications for the research community.
"Miao initiated the project and demonstrated the persistence and determination necessary that would eventually lead to the success of a challenging project," He said. "She picks the right problems to study. Once committed she works to discover every detail until she knows whether or not it will work."

Most people love to travel to see different places and meet new and interesting people. They also want to understand various cultures and see famous tourist spots. Traveling will also enrich the soul through the different kinds of people and sights that you will get to see. This will also give you a new perspective and you will be able to appreciate what you presently have and what you are about to experience.
Cost is always the concern of most travelers. Going from one place to another can be expensive. There are many expenses that you have to think of aside from the fare. Sure, chartering flights can be a bit costly but if you will consider the convenience that you will get, it will be worth the cost. This one of the reasons whyprivate plane commuters are increasing nowadays. It is not about the luxury anymore but the convenience which is a necessity for most people.
If you have the money but you want to spend it wisely, you will need a travel plan that is reasonably priced. It doesn't have to be the cheapest as long as you get your money's worth. The best option that you can have is to look for charter flights.
One of the advantages of chartering a plane is that you don't have to endure annoying delays. You can save a lot of time for you will be brought directly to your destination. There will be no layovers which could save you a lot on your expenses for hotels and food. This means that you will have more time to enjoy the trip, rather than spend money on unnecessary buys.
Powerful and popular individuals want to achieve privacy. They want to do anything like sleep or eat without being conscious of the passengers. They want to be relaxed and have a peaceful trip. If they will take a commercial flight, they will never be able to achieve these things. There will be crying babies, snoring passengers, and chatty seatmates. How can they rest with all these noises? Instead of getting a breather from their busy work, they will have to endure the grueling long flight. They will not be able to sleep or even rest even if they want to.
Big charter companies are what you should consider if you want quality service. If you will hire a small company, there are situations that might arise that they might not be able to handle. If you have problems with their service, they will find ways and do anything that is possible to get you to your destination.
If you are in a rush, you can lease an airplane even at a short notice. There are also low-cost deals that you can avail from numerous companies.

I'm in the market for a new tablet PC, one to use as a digital art studio. There are several on the market that have caught my eye but only the Sony VAIO Duo 13 has the screen real estate, configurability, and battery life I am seeking. And I've lost patience with the nearly mythical machines being teased by Samsung, and Wacom.
I understand the limitations of N-Trig in relation to 2D applications such as Adobe Photoshop and Corel Paint. Neither of which I use to draw.
I also understand what is supported by N-Trig in relation to 2D applications; most popularly mentioned Artrage, Magna Studio, and SketchBook Pro. Huzza, I'm a long time SketchBook Pro user. \
What I can't seem to find evidence for is what 3D modeling and/or sculpting applications work with N-Trig. Quite possibly none.
The applications I am most curious about are Maxon Cinema 4D, Luxology Modo, and Pixologic ZBrush (Or Sculptris). Though Pixologic does state quite clearly that "Wacom or compatible graphics tablet" is required.
So if any digital artists out there in Tablet PC Review land have embraced the Sony VAIO Duo 13 or 11 as a creative platform I'd be most grateful for information about what applications you use, both 3D and 2D, as well as any criticisms you care to express about this particular machine.
