Hookah tobacco smoking does not seem to be hampered by many of the negative social stigmas of cigarette smoking said Dr. Sidani.

Lead researcher Dr James Gilroy from the University of East Anglia's school of Environmental sciences carried out the research while at the Norwegian University of Life sciences.
The work led by Dr Jurriaan Ton and Dr Estrella Luna at the University of Sheffield has identified the key receptor binding a chemical called BABA (Î-aminobutyric acid)
which is boosting plant immunity. BABA has long been known for its protective effects against devastating plant diseases such as potato blight
but had never been linked to immune responses in plants Dr Luna said. Binding of the chemical to this protein triggers a secondary function that'primes'the plant immune system against future attacks by pests and diseases.
Dr Ton added: Plant immunity that is controlled by a single resistance gene on which most conventional breeding programs are based is comparably easy to overcome by a pathogen.
Dr Oliver Berkowitz a Research Associate in the ARC Centre for Excellence in Plant Energy Biology and the School of Plant Biology at the University of Western australia was involved also in the research.
Importantly our study also revealed that the undesirable side effect of this vaccination a reduction in growth can be uncoupled from the beneficial immune reaction Dr Berkowitz said.

but the other biomes have been shortchanged in the process notes Dr. Macedo. Only 50%of the Cerrado forest remains intact
Allowing that to happen would be an environmental disaster emphasizes Dr. Macedo. Despite big losses for the environment the law also introduced two key conservation measures that could pave the way for commoditizing standing forests in all biomes.

and makes them vulnerable to escaped fires said Dr. Macedo. These fragmented forests are more likely to be invaded by flammable grasses
According to lead-author Dr. Paulo Brando This study shows that fires are already degrading large areas of forests in Southern Amazonia
and overestimate overall forest health said Dr. Coe. The results of this project show that extreme droughts may interact with fires to push Amazonian forests beyond a tipping point that may abruptly increase tree mortality and change vegetation over large areas.

and life of the Chinese people also creating a heavy burden on socioeconomic development said Dr Liang Xiaofeng Deputy Director of the Chinese Center for disease control and Prevention.
Educating people about the harm of tobacco through graphic warnings on cigarette packages would be one of the most direct and effective ways to reduce tobacco use Dr Liang added.
Stronger warning labels on tobacco packages are also likely to be popular with the public according to Dr Wang Ke'an Director of the Thinktank Research center for Health Development.
Following the exhibitions 85%of people surveyed were supportive of pictorial warning labels on cigarette packages said Dr Wang.
and importantly people in disadvantaged areas who may be illiterate Dr Wang added. THE WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control FCTC) calls for warning labels covering 50%or more of the tobacco pack.
by improving public awareness of tobacco harms stronger tobacco pack warnings would help to reinforce this policy said THE WHO's Dr Schwartlã¤nder.

#Advantages, potential of computer-guided spinal surgeryin a series of research studies Cedars-Sinai spinal surgeons show that a new method of computer-guided spine surgery is beneficial for spinal reconstruction
The Cedars-Sinai surgeons highlight the advantages of a spinal navigation technique that uses high-speed computerized tomography (CT) imaging to navigate in and around the spinal column from different angles.
They present their findings in six articles published in the current issue of Neurosurgical Focus an online peer-reviewed journal published by the American Association of Neurological Surgeons.
It allows surgeons to more precisely and accurately place reconstruction screws in the narrow bony corridors of the spine avoiding nerves blood vessels and other critical structures.
which displays them on overhead monitors that allow precise tracking of surgical instruments as surgeons insert screws for reconstruction
Surgeons said the technique is superior to existing methods because of its precision and speed. They point out that even small miscalculations with two-dimensional technology can cause problems that require follow-up operations
The Cedars-Sinai surgeons say they have cut these to nearly zero by using computer-guided methods.
The surgeons said the technology has others applications for treating spinal disorders serving as a tool to remove tumors decompress the spinal column
This approach represents a major leap forward for instrumented spine surgery said Terrence T. Kim MD an orthopedic spine surgeon in the Cedars-Sinai Spine Center and expert in the computer-guided navigation field.
Johnson and Kim as study co-authors are Doniel Drazin MD a senior resident in the Department of Neurosurgery and Robert S. Pashman MD a clinical associate professor and orthopedic spine surgeon at the Cedars

cessation counseling ratessmartphones and tablets may hold the key to getting more clinicians to screen patients for tobacco use
and death in the U s. clinicians often donâ##t ask about smoking during patient exams.
Using mobile phones loaded with tobacco screening guidelines prompted nurses to ask patients about their smoking habits in 84 percent of clinic visits
and they also point to a broader benefit of mobile applications in getting more clinicians to follow evidence-based practice guidelinesâ#Cato says.
Clinic patients were treated by 185 registered nurses enrolled in advanced practice degree programs at Columbia Nursing. While overall screening and counseling rates were increased by use of the mobile tools the gains varied by race gender and payer source the study found.
and the higher screening rates that we found for African-americans suggest that mobile health-decision tools can help address health disparitiesâ#Cato says. â#oethe technology can serve to remove any unintended bias clinicians might have about
#While the study included only patients seen by nurses who had access to mobile health tools the screening
Using the mobile tools also helped clinicians exceed the targets for screening and counseling established by Healthy People 2020 a national road map for improving health
The project was led by University of Southampton Professor of Geography Peter Atkinson who worked with his colleague Dr Jadunandan Dash and in collaboration with Professor Jeganathan Chockalingam from the Department of Remote Sensing at the Birla Institute of technology in India.
