‘The rest is up to you' I tell my clients ... Every few years they come back, so I have snapshots in my head of how they've changed over the years. The ones who've changed the most finally bought that boat, moved to that island. Those who haven't changed, I suppose they take comfort in knowing what course their lives are on. They like to believe they know what lies ahead. - Shall We Dance (movie) - Samir

pooled observational studies pointing role of statins in better outcome, including survival patients having pneumonia and sepsis...??? immunomodulatory & anti-inflammatory actions...Further organized study warranted in sepsis patients with a caution as liver dysfunction and myositis with statin use may worsen sepsis. - Samir

An interesting and well-designed study using fruit fly model suggests molecular level role in preservation and boosting of long-term memory by controlling "spacing effect" by level and activity of SHP-2 phosphatase...Accordiong to research, longer resting intervals for Noonan's patients might reverse their memory deficits.

The phase III, randomized, controlled Papilloma Trial Against Cancer in Young Adults (PATRICIA) showed that the HPV-16/18 vaccine has enhanced immunogenicity when aluminium hydroxide and monophosphorylated lipid are used as adjuvants. This vaccine also protects against other oncogenic HPV types in addition to HPV-16 and HPV-18. Paavonen and colleagues now present the final event-driven analysis of the PATRICIA trial data, after 3 years of follow-up. - Samir

The vaccine — known as RV 144, a combination of two genetically engineered vaccines, neither of which had worked before in humans — was declared a qualified success after a six-year clinical trial on more than 16,000 volunteers in Thailand. Those who were vaccinated became infected at a rate nearly one-third lower than the others, the sponsors said Thursday morning. “I don’t want to use a word like ‘breakthrough,’ but I don’t think there’s any doubt that this is a very important result,” said Dr. Anthony S. Fauci - Samir

Among patients experiencing depressive symptoms, mortality rates were up to 26% higher (unadjusted risk ratio [RR], 1.25; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.12 - 1.40; P < .001) and among patients diagnosed with major or minor depression were up to 39% higher (unadjusted RR, 1.39; 95% CI, 1.10 - 1.89; P =.03) than those without these symptoms. Conversely, depressive symptoms did not appear to significantly predict disease progression. - Samir

Multi-center study lead by NCI and DFCI team identified an association between a locus on 9q34 and pancreatic cancer marked by the SNP rs505922 (combined P = 5.37 times 10-8; multiplicative per-allele odds ratio 1.20; 95% confidence interval 1.12–1.28). This SNP maps to the first intron of the ABO blood group gene which are consistent with earlier epidemiologic evidence suggesting that people with blood group O may have a lower risk of pancreatic cancer than those with groups A or B. - Samir

Ultimately, Giler's group from MIT wants to combine the best of both worlds: large amounts of power sent over long distances. Their technology is called "magnetically coupled resonance," and it basically sends a magnetic field through the air at a specific frequency that an an enabled phone or TV can pick up and turn back into electricity. It works kind of like sound. Think about how an opera singer can break a wine glass if he sings at just the right frequency. - Samir
