The decision is the culmination of a case that Austrian lawyer Max Schrems brought against Facebook in 2013 for participation in US mass surveillance.
Surveillance concerns Although the court decision is ostensibly about data protection, it inevitably addresses surveillance.

and decided upon by The irish authorities. The development will stretch US-EU relations, which are misaligned already over the right to be forgotten

Paul Bernal of the University of East Anglia in Norwich, UK, says the judgement makes it hard to see how it is legal for any personal data gathered in the EU to now be sent to the US for processing. he ruling basically says US surveillance cannot be allowed to override our fundamental rights,

#New Test To Predict Relapse Of Testicular cancers Scientists have developed a new test to identify patients who are at risk of suffering a relapse from testicular cancer.
Assessing just three features of a common kind of testicular cancer-called non-seminomatous germ cell tumor-can identify those at most at risk of relapse even where there is no evidence of tumor spread.
Scientists at The Institute of Cancer Research (ICR found that three different features of the tumors were important indicators of relapse risk:
and found that combining scores could divide patients up into three different risk groups based on how likely patients were to suffer a relapse of the disease within two years.
They found that the vast majority of patients were in the low-risk group-where 94.3 percent of patients were relapse free for two years.
In the moderate-risk group 65.9 percent of patients were relapse free. Strikingly only 30 percent of patients were relapse free in the high-risk group.

#Online voting a step closer thanks to breakthrough in security technology Taking inspiration from the security devices issued by some banks,
the security and privacy research group at Birmingham, led by Professor Mark Ryan, has developed a system that allows people to vote by employing independent hardware devices in conjunction with their PCS.
'The main advantage of this system is that it splits the security between the independent security device and a voter's computer or mobile device.
whereas the independent security device has a much, much smaller code base and is not susceptible to viruses.'Online voting carries a strong security requirement because of the possibility of undetectable interference in an election by foreign governments, criminal gangs,
or petty fraudsters. Malware affects an estimated 20%to 40%of PCS globally and specific election-targeting malware could be developed to attempt to alter votes cast
and detect malware by using a separate security device. But the system achieves even greater security than those used by banks by allowing for the possibility that the security devices themselves have been manufactured under the influence of a hostile adversary.
Paradoxically, the researchers succeed in proving that even if a hostile adversary controls the entire computing infrastructure,

"Hemodialysis patients are increased at risk of sudden cardiac death because they often have latent ischaemic heart disease
to predict the risk of sudden cardiac death in hemodialysis patients. All 3 methods were performed at rest.
Taken on their own, patients with a BMIPP score greater than 16 had an 11-fold increased risk of sudden cardiac death,
while an abnormal Q wave conferred an 18-fold increased risk, and A c-reactive protein level greater than 2. 38 mg/dl predicted a 7-fold increased risk.
Patients with 2 or 3 of the predictors had a sudden cardiac death risk that was 145 times greater than patients with normal levels on all 3 measures.
or 3 abnormal measures were at 145 times increased risk. In hemodialysis patients, abnormal uptake of BMIPP has an independent and incremental value in the prediction of sudden cardiac death in combination with C reactive-protein protein and Q wave.
In a clinical setting, BMIPP scintigraphy can be used in hemodialysis patients who are identified as high risk by abnormal Q wave and increased C reactive-protein protein.
"Further diagnostic tests should be considered in high risk patients with abnormal BMIPP scintigraphy. Cardiac function assessment for heart failure, coronary angiography for ischaemic heart disease and Holter ECG monitoring for lethal arrhythmias can identify the type of myocardial injury
