Understanding how polyacrylates form brings opportunities to better control their molecular structure and hence their properties and recent research has been enlightening. Leading the field is an international group coordinated by Pete Lovell from the University of Manchester, UK. http://www.physorg.com/news172827293.html Chemistry Tue, 22 Sep 2009 08:35:18 EST news172827293 In recent years, several new innovations have been employed in the treatment for women with gynecologic cancer in an effort to preserve fertility. These innovations consist of conservative ovarian staging, embryo/oocyte cryopreservation, hormonal treatment of endometrial cancer, and fertility-sparing radical hysterectomy for women with cervical cancer. http://www.physorg.com/news171212613.html Medicine & Health Thu, 03 Sep 2009 16:08:48 EST news171212613 Men with early stages of prostate cancer who delay radical treatment in favor of an approach of "expectant management" do not have high levels of anxiety and distress. That is the conclusion of a new study published in the September 1, 2009 issue of Cancer, a peer-reviewed journal of the American Cancer Society. The study's results suggest that living with untreated cancer is not upsetting for many patients with early prostate cancer. http://www.physorg.com/news167904692.html Medicine & Health Mon, 27 Jul 2009 09:30:05 EST news167904692 A meta-analysis of 17 randomised controlled trials has shown that pre-procedural treatment with sodium bicarbonate based hydration is the optimal treatment strategy to prevent contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN). The research, published in the open access journal BMC Medicine, shows that although the benefit may have been overestimated by previous studies, sodium bicarbonate is clearly superior to normal saline. http://www.physorg.com/news161411076.html Medicine & Health Wed, 13 May 2009 05:25:07 EST news161411076 Veterans exposed to Agent Orange are at increased risk of aggressive recurrence of prostate cancer, researchers report. http://www.physorg.com/news159448333.html Medicine & Health Mon, 20 Apr 2009 12:12:31 EST news159448333 Innovation is integral to the growth, success and wealth of firms and nations. What predicts the increase of radical innovation, and the profits that often ensue, is a mystery most firms are trying to solve. The answer that trumps all others is closer to home than most probably realize. "Corporate culture is, above all, the most important factor in driving innovation," said Rajesh Chandy, a professor of marketing at the University of Minnesota's Carlson School of Management and a charter member of the U.S. Department of Commerce's Advisory Committee on Measuring Innovation in the 21st Century Economy. http://www.physorg.com/news146232069.html Other Sciences Tue, 18 Nov 2008 12:01:09 EST news146232069 Studies have shown that approximately 16% of patients with localised prostate cancer regret their treatment choice. European Urology, the official journal of the European Association of Urology, will be publishing an article by J.W. Moul et al. comparing differences in satisfaction and regret between patients who underwent open retropubic radical prostatectomy and robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy. http://www.physorg.com/news138965444.html Medicine & Health Tue, 26 Aug 2008 10:30:44 EST news138965444
