Climate change will upset vital ocean chemical cycles Posted: 08 Sep 2013 10:57 AM PDT New research shows that rising ocean temperatures will upset natural cycles of carbon dioxide, nitrogen and phosphorus. Plankton plays an important role in the ocean's carbon cycle by removing half of all CO2 from the atmosphere during photosynthesis and storing it deep under the sea. New findings reveal that water temperature has a direct impact on maintaining the delicate plankton ecosystem of our oceans.

Synthetic mRNA can induce self-repair and regeneration of the infarcted heart Posted: 08 Sep 2013 10:56 AM PDT Scientists have taken a major step towards treatment for heart attack, by instructing the injured heart in mice to heal by expressing a factor that triggers cardiovascular regeneration driven by native heart stem cells. The study also shows that there was an effect on driving the formation of a small number of new cardiac muscle cells.

The Cynical Girl: New Feature on The Cynical Girl: You Think You Know HR?

New Feature on The Cynical Girl: You Think You Know HR? Posted: 07 Sep 2013 03:45 AM PDT I am bored, which is how all of my horrible ideas start. Once a week, I will interview a Human Resources lady (or dude) via Google Hangout for a few minutes to get to know ‘em. Then I will ask them three questions from either the HRCI or CIPD body of knowledge. Multiple choice. I am not unreasonable. If my guest gets 2/3 right, I will make a donation to her favorite charity that doesn’t totally offend me. If she misses two questions, she has to make a donation to SPCA of Wake County. Any amount. I don’t care. Can you be successful and entrepreneurial in HR but fail a quiz that is straight from the smartest HR people on the planet? We will find out! And I want to humanize the face of Human Resources. These ladies (and dudes) are interesting. They defy stereotypes. And some of them are hilarious. The early reviews are in . . . and my idea is universally panned. “I never play a game I can't conceivably win — so as they say on the Shark Tank — I'm out.” — Paul Hebert, who stabs me in the back after I organize Paul Hebert Day. “So you think you're smarter than Cat Loving Liberal Former Punk Rock HR Pro… Sounds really exciting…” — Tim Sackett, being jealous that he didn’t come up with the idea first. “I can’t think of anything I’d like less.” — Neil Morrison, who just makes me want to do this more. Thank god I don’t ask for feedback. I think it’s interesting how my HR lady friends love the idea. My bloggers with egos really hate it. My first guest is probably Mary Faulkner because she said yes. I have a few more in the queue, too. These are early days, people! Stick with me!

Yin-yang effect of sodium and chloride presents salt conundrum Posted: 08 Sep 2013 10:58 AM PDT Too much salt in the diet -- and specifically sodium -- is widely acknowledged as a major risk factor for high blood pressure however, scientists have found that salt's other oft-overlooked constituent chloride might also play an important role.

Preventing cancer? Team IDs two pathways through which chromosomes are rearranged Posted: 08 Sep 2013 10:58 AM PDT A research team has identified two pathways through which chromosomes are rearranged in mammalian cells. Preventing these rearrangements could conceivably prevent cancer in some people.

Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus: MERS-CoV treatment effective in monkeys Posted: 08 Sep 2013 10:57 AM PDT Scientists report that a combination of two licensed antiviral drugs reduces virus replication and improves clinical outcome in a recently developed monkey model of Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) infection. Their study expands on recent work showing that a combination of ribavirin and interferon-alpha 2b stops MERS-CoV from replicating in cell culture.

Two types of inhalers equally safe and effective, new study suggests Posted: 08 Sep 2013 10:55 AM PDT Pulmonary experts have found that the drug tiotropium (marketed as the Spiriva brand), can be delivered safely and effectively to people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in both "mist" and traditional "dry powder" inhalers.

Fish oil could help protect alcohol abusers from dementia Posted: 08 Sep 2013 10:55 AM PDT A new study suggests that omega-3 fish oil might help protect against alcohol-related dementia.

Genetic cause of childhood leukemia identified Posted: 08 Sep 2013 10:55 AM PDT For the first time, a genetic link specific to risk of childhood leukemia has been identified.
