DUBLIN–(Business Wire)–
Research and Markets
(http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/122efb/looking_at_the_can) has
announced the addition of the “Looking at the Cancer Therapy Market” report to
their offering.

Cancer is a disease characterized by a population of cells that grow and divide
without respect to normal limits, invade and destroy adjacent tissues, and may
spread to distant anatomic sites through a process called metastasis. These
life-threatening, malignant properties of cancers differentiate them from benign
tumors, which are self-limited in their growth and do not invade or metastasize.
Cancer may affect people at all ages, but risk for the more common varieties
tends to increase with age. It is one of the principal causes of death in
developed countries.

Cancer affects everyone – the young and old, the rich and poor, men, women and
children – and represents a tremendous burden on patients, families and
societies. Cancer is one of the leading causes of death in the world,
particularly in developing countries.

Take a look at some hard-hitting facts about this deadly disease:

* In 2005, 7.6 million people died of cancer out of 58 million deaths worldwide.

* More than 70% of all cancer deaths occur in low and middle income countries,
where resources available for prevention, diagnosis and treatment of cancer are
limited or nonexistent.
* Based on projections, cancer deaths will continue to rise with an estimated 9
million people dying from cancer in 2015, and 11.4 million dying in 2030.

Gambhir sweats it out

May 27, 2010 By vani Leave a Comment

Amongst a bunch of kits strewn around at the Bharat Nagar Sports Complex, a blue tag with a World T20 logo, mentioning ‘Member Indian team’, was hanging out distinctly from the black kitbag. A closer look showed ‘Gambhir’ engraved on it. Team India, somehow, is still preoccupied with that tournament. A few of the players have just finished scribbling replies to a show cause notice following a pub brawl, while others are recovering from the trauma of a failed campaign.

Gautam Gambhir didn’t unpack his kit bag upon returning home from the West Indies. On Tuesday, he picked up that very bag and headed for a game ? one which will help him prepare for the Asia Cup and the Sri Lanka series. The met man marked his reading as 45.2 degrees for Wednesday, but that didn’t alter the Indian opener’s plan of venturing into the Delhi summer circuit.

“You want to know what am I doing here in this heat? I am here to get some good practice to play 50-over cricket to prepare myself for the Asia Cup,” said Gambhir, who turned up for employers ONGC in a quarter-final game of the Laxman Dass Chabbra cricket tournament against Rohtak Road Gymkhana. “Let the others rest. I am ok. Ten days are enough for me. I want to get a few one-day matches under my belt,” he added.

Gambhir has charted his summer circuit plan well in advance. The left-hander will be in action again in the semi-final of the tournament on Friday, and at the Lala Raghubir tournament on Saturday. Gambhir will spotted more often in the coming two weeks playing the summer circuit in the Capital and will be hitting the nets on non-match days.

Gambhir made 32 in his side’s victory on a wicket that assisted spinners. He began with a square cut off the backfoot, used his footwork admirably to play some delectable over-the-cover-region shots. Gambhir lost his wicket trying to heave leg-spinner Abhishek Sharma over deep mid-wicket but was caught inside the rope.

Earlier, Sharma scored a whirlwind 58 off 32 deliveries to take RR Gymkhana to a competitive total after put into bat on a wicket that was still damp despite an hour’s delay. Opener Gaurav Goel withstood an early probe with the new ball while ONGC skipper Amit Bhandari split open the middle order with a heavy dose of reverse swing that fetched him two wickets. Batting with a runner, Sharma hit clean to make the most of batting powerplay opted for in the last three overs of the 35-over game.

Though Gambhir was the star attraction, it was Radhey Shyam Gupta and Saleem Ansari with half-centuries to their credit, who guided their team home with six wickets to spare. Gupta scored an unbeaten 58 while Ansari was unbeaten on 56 as ONGC chased down 204.

Ansari was handed the man of the match, while Gambhir gifted a brand new bat to the other star of the afternoon.

At the end of it all, the heat did get to Gambhir. But it wasn’t on the field that Gambhir started to fret about the summer sun. Rather, the interiors of his car was so hot that the India opener had to wait a while before driving home.

Brief scores: RR Gymkhana 204 for 7 in 35 overs (Abhishek Sharma not out 58, Gaurav Goel 46, Praveen Gupta 2/24, Amit Bhandari 2/47 ); ONGC 208 for 4 in 32.4 overs (Radhey Shyam Gupta not out 58, Saleem Ansari not out 56, Sandeep Sharma 48, Gautam Gambhir 32, Abhishek Sharma 2/31)

Twitter, Facebook addicts stop sexing, eating to start texting!

March 20, 2010 By vani Leave a Comment

New York, Mar 20 (ANI): A new study has found that rabid Internet users update their Facebook or Twitter while they are at dinner, in the middle of having sex, and even after they have gone to bed for the night.

A survey of 1,000 Internet users, conducted by consumer electronics site Retrevo.com, found 48 percent admit to checking Twitter and Facebook after they’ve gone to bed for the night.

Forty-two percent said they check and/or update their social media profiles first thing in the morning. Eight percent of those older than 25 said they do it before they even get out of bed.

And 40 percent of social networkers don’t mind being interrupted while they’re busy with other activities.

Thirty-two percent said a text was a welcome distraction during a meal, while 7 percent said they’d even stop having sex to glance at an update.

But conversation and romance aren’t quite dead yet, with 62 percent of those over age 25 saying they didn’t like the interruptions under any circumstances.

Though Internet addiction was left out of recent proposed updates to the American Psychiatric Association’s diagnostic manual, the survey authors suggest the habit-forming nature of social media bears a closer look.

“We’re not qualified to declare a societal, social media crisis, but when almost half of social media users say they check Facebook or Twitter sometime during the night or when they first wake up, you have to wonder if these people aren’t suffering from some sort of addiction to social media,” the New York Daily News quoted Andrew Eisner, Retrevo’s Director of Community & Content, as stating.

Australia to check out pitch at Cardiff

June 30, 2009 By admin Leave a Comment

Worcester (UK), June 30 (ANI): Australian captain Ricky Ponting appears to be quite desperate to get as much information about the pitch at Cardiff, the venue for the first Ashes Test against England, that he is preparing to send a spy to unravel the confusion surrounding the controversial Sophia Gardens pitch.

Reports about how the new strip will play in the first Test, beginning Wednesday week, have been so contradictory that Ponting is desperate for more information.

“We’ve been talking about trying to send someone down to Cardiff this week so we can have a look at what the wicket preparation looks like,” the Herald Sun quoted Ponting, as saying.

“Since we’ve been here (in England) we’ve heard lots of stories about how dry it’s going to be and how much it’s going to spin. There was even talk a month ago about the Test not going ahead there because of problems with the pitch. But we had a closer look at some stats last week and found that something like only 14 of the 69 wickets taken there in the last three county matches have been taken with spin,” he added.

Ponting’s concerns were magnified when he spoke to umpire George Sharp, who officiated in Australia’s opening tour match in Hove and umpired a one-day match in Cardiff on May 12.

“George Sharp said that Kaneria was unplayable. He was turning them square,” Ponting said.

“We need to get a closer look at it to make informed judgments for the way we pick our side for this Worcester game,” Ponting said. (ANI)

Taliban to return to carry on its fight as Pak Army’s offensive lacks credibility: NYT

June 28, 2009 By admin Leave a Comment

New York, June 28 (ANI): The Pakistan Army has been boasting of success against the Taliban and other extremists, and claims that it has flushed the insurgents out, besides killing scores of them during its offensive in the Swat and Malakand Divisions, but a closer look at the region where the military operation purportedly resulted in death of several militants presents a different picture, casting serious questions over the Army’s claims.

While the military has been claiming being engaged in a stiff battle with the Taliban, no such signs are visible in the region, which clearly suggests that the insurgents have just melted into the local population here, only to remerge and fight another day, The New York Times reports.

Analysts also believe that amid the claims of the military of sanitizing scores of militants, it has failed to provide any proof of it, which raises serious doubts.

The military operation which has rendered over three million people homeless in the region, and has won strong support from the United States, has amazingly failed to destroy the Taliban’s leadership.

The military has also failed to kill or capture even one top Taliban commander, experts pointed out.

“It was very disappointing that none of the commanders had been eliminated,” said a senior politician of the region, Aftab Ahmed Sherpao.

Then, there are also fears that the Taliban insurgents have sneaked into the rehabilitation camps set -up for the displaced people, and would in all possibility return to the valley.

“Most of the Taliban shaved their beards, and they are living here with their families in the camps set up for those displaced by the fighting,” said the mayor of Mardan, Himayatullah Mayar.

While the military is ready to initiate a fresh offensive in South Waziristan to target the Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) chief Baitullah Mehsud, the Pakistan government is yet to announce a comprehensive plan to establish peace and normalcy in the Swat Valley to facilitate the return of the displaced people.

Experts believe that the military and the civilian government lack mutual trust, which raises serious questions about whether the authorities can secure Swat and other areas and keep them from being taken back by the Taliban, the report said.

“I’ve told the president and the prime minister and the chief of the army this is the time to act. Just take basic things and implement them. This is not talking rocket science,” said General Nadeem Ahmad, the commander of the Special Support Group of the Pakistan Army.

“If you don’t deliver, it will be trouble. You will come back and do the operation again,” Ahmad warned

The displaced people also want a surety from the military that they will be safe if they return home, as they are aware of the repercussions of the past episodes of deal-making with the Taliban.

Displaced people are angry by the indiscriminate shelling in civilian areas by the military, and have also raised questions over the success of the offensive.

“We had no problem with the Taliban. We’re here because of the military shelling. I’m a trader, and the thing that affects my life is the curfew,” said Umar Ali, a poultry trader from Qambar in Swat. (ANI)

Oz woman helps launch an environment friendly campaign

May 20, 2009 By admin Leave a Comment

Melbourne, May 20 (ANI): AN Australian businesswoman Natalie Isaacs was dazed to realize that how her own measures to conserve energy and our planet helped launch a campaign to protect our environment.

Natalie made her family adopt few measures at home to avoid wasting energy and was dazed to see the results.

“Until a few years ago it all seemed too hard. I wasn’t connected to the problem and then I took a closer look and found you can help by changing little things in your daily life,” the businesswoman and mother of four from Newport on Sydney’s Northern Beaches said yesterday,” The Daily Telegraph quoted Natalie, as saying.

“We did simple things. Turned off appliances at the power point, lights off if someone’s not in the room, the kids have two worms farms for organic waste. I use green bags. We try to use as little packaging as possible.We’ve cut our carbon emissions and saved money too – our last quarter power bill was down 12 per cent on the year before,” Natalie added.

Soon after she decided to show other women that how easy it is to conserve energy, by taking few important measures.

Thus she co-founded a campaign called 1 million women with conservationist Michelle Grosvenor, to tell other women that how they can contribute towards saving our planet.I think many are like me. I had my head completely buried in the sand,” Natalie said. But our website – http://www.1millionwomen.com.au – shows how you can cut carbon emissions daily,” Natalie added. (ANI)

Better way to develop vaccine against flu virus identified

May 13, 2009 By admin Leave a Comment

Washington, May 13 (ANI): By cashing-in on the interaction between a virus and antibodies that fight infection, Princeton University scientists may have discovered a better way to make a vaccine against the flu virus.

The researchers have said that by manipulating the multi-stage interactive process- called antibody interference-to advantage, it could be possible to design more powerful vaccines than exist today.

“We have proposed that antibody interference plays a major role in determining the effectiveness of the antibody response to a viral infection. And we believe that in order to get a more powerful vaccine, people are going to want one that minimizes this interference,” said Ned Wingreen, a professor of molecular biology.

When Ndifon and colleagues analysed data about viral structure, antibody types and the reactions between them produced by virology laboratories across the country, they noticed a confusing pattern.

They found that antibodies were often better at protecting against a slightly different virus, a close cousin, than against the virus that spurred their creation-a process known as cross-reactivity.

On a closer look, they found that a phenomenon known as antibody interference was at play-it arises when a virus prompts the creation of multiple types of antibodies.

As a result, during a viral attack, antibodies vie with each other to defend the body, and sometimes crowd each other out while they attempt to attach themselves to the surface of the virus.

But, strangely, antibodies that are actually less effective at protecting the body against a specific virus are also equally adept at attaching themselves to the virus, blocking the more effective antibodies from doing their job.

Thus, the scientists have suggested that if a way can be found to weaken the binding of the less effective antibodies, this might constitute a new approach to vaccine design.

The researchers claimed that the pattern of enhanced cross-reactivities could easily be attributed to viruses that differ only at the sites on their surfaces where the less effective antibodies bind.

Such variants would make ideal vaccine strains, guiding the immune system to produce two distinct types of antibodies: effective ones that are well matched to and good at binding to the infecting virus, and ineffective ones that are poorly matched to and bad at binding to the infecting virus, and consequently stay out of the way.

The findings have been described in the online edition of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. (ANI)

Canadian researchers develop an instrument that pinpoints edge of space

April 12, 2009 By admin Leave a Comment

The researchers in Canada have developed an instrument that pinpoints edge of space, where the space begins and the earths atmosphere ends. According to researchers from the University of Calgary, who created the tool, the edge of space, begins 118 km (73.3 miles), above sea level, above the Earth.

The researchers have reported that the instrument, Supra-Thermal Ion Imager pinpoints the transition point of relatively gentle winds of earth’s atmosphere to more violent flows of charged particles in outer space, exceeding speed of 1,000 kmph; the transition point is the edge of space, which only 10 miles off the Kármán line (100 km) that is regarded as the boundary between atmosphere and outer space.

According to the team of researchers, it is significant discovery, as the area is important because it was previously difficult to make measurements in this area, because it is too high for balloons and too low for satellites.

“The results have given us a closer look at space, which is a benefit to pure research in space science, but it also allows us to calculate energy flows into the Earth’s atmosphere that ultimately may be able to help us understand the interaction between space and our environment,” said David Knudsen, a physics professor at the university.

Knudsen said, “It’s only the second time that direct measurements of charged particle flows have been made in this region, and the first time all the ingredients – such as the upper atmospheric winds – have been included.”

Knudsen and his former PhD student Laureline Sangalli co-authored the paper about their discovery. The paper has been published in this week in the Journal of Geophysical Research.

‘Edge of space’ begins 118 km above Earth

April 10, 2009 By admin Leave a Comment

Washington, April 10 (ANI): Using data received from a instrument sent to space on a NASA launch from Alaska about two years ago, scientists have located the ‘edge of space’, and have confirmed that it begins 118 km above Earth.

The instrument – called the Supra-Thermal Ion Imager – was carried by the JOULE-II rocket on January 19, 2007.

It traveled to an altitude of about 200 kilometers above sea level and collected data for the five minutes it was moving through the “edge of space.”

Designed by scientists at the University of Calgary (U of C), the new instrument is able to track the transition between the relatively gentle winds of Earth’s atmosphere and the more violent flows of charged particles in space – flows that can reach speeds well over 1000 km/hr.

The ability to gather data in that area is significant because it’s very difficult to make measurements in this region, which is too high for balloons and too low for satellites.

“It’s only the second time that direct measurements of charged particle flows have been made in this region, and the first time all the ingredients – such as the upper atmospheric winds – have been included,” said David Knudsen, associate professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Calgary.

“When you drag a heavy object over a surface, the interface becomes hot. In JOULE-II we were able to measure directly two regions being dragged past each other, one being the ionosphere – driven by flows in space – and the other the earth’s atmosphere,” said Knudsen.

According to Knudsen, “The results have given us a closer look at space, which is a benefit to pure research in space science.”

“But it also allows us to calculate energy flows into the Earth’s atmosphere that ultimately may be able to help us understand the interaction between space and our environment,” he said.

“That could mean a greater understanding of the link between sunspots and the warming and cooling of the Earth’s climate as well as how space weather impacts satellites, communications, navigation, and power systems,” he added.

According to Russ Taylor, the director of ISIS and head of the Department of Physics and Astronomy at the U of C, “Understanding the boundary between the Earth’s atmosphere and outer space is fundamental to the bigger picture of the effects of space on the Earth’s climate and environment.” (ANI)

Getting Tendulkar out in first Test would be a dream come true: Arnel

March 13, 2009 By admin Leave a Comment

Hamilton (New Zealand), Mar.13 (ANI): Northern Districts fast bowler Brent Arnel hopes to play against Indian batting maestro Sachin Tendulkar in his debut Test, and says it would be a “dream come true” to get him out.

The Te Awamutu-born, Waiuku-raised 30-year-old bowler was quoted by the Waikato Times as saying: “Playing him would be a dream come true, getting him out would be the best moment of my career.”

New Zealand cricket has a long history of giving young bowlers a chance, the bowlers getting injured then coming back as mature cricketers.

Arnel never got his initial chance after the New Zealand Cricket Academy over-bowled him. He suffered a back injury that cost him four years of cricket and nearly his entire career on the back of “some very poor advice” by the medical team at the academy.

Arnel said he was “absolutely stoked” to be selected in the Black Caps 13-man squad which includes a first call up for Auckland batsman Martin Guptill.

Arnel, however, is still not sure where he stands in the selectors’ minds.

“I’m just rapt to be thought of as one of the best 13 cricketers in the country. (The selectors) have two options I guess, they could throw me in straight away and see how I go or just keep me in the squad to have a closer look at me.” (ANI)
