What else could explain our own species'obsession with puppies kittens and other baby animals?

A new strain of influenza virus occurs every 1-2 years, for example. But the sudden global explosion of an epidemic that infects a large number of the population oe a pandemic oe is harder to predict.

"In 1947, the diagnosis of autism was only four years old. Almost nobody knew what it meant.

A month later, Turk saw an ad on the news seeking multiple sclerosis patients to try out an unusual new treatment at the University of Wisconsin, in his hometown of Madison.

 Old friendsfleming's trial in 2008 was the first to infect multiple sclerosis patients with live parasitic worms, also known as helminths,

inflammatory bowel disease and multiple sclerosis have been on the rise. Yet in developing countries, such conditions remain rare.

Researchers and biomedical companies around the world began to investigate the potential of helminthic therapy for treating conditions ranging from asthma to autism to psoriasis.

Fleming says he advises the multiple sclerosis patients who email him at a rate of around one a week against self-infecting with helminths."

Fleming is continuing his studies on multiple sclerosis. He has enrolled another 15 patients for a longer trial with pig whipworms, the results

Coronado also expects results from its multiple sclerosis trials next year. Trials on adults with autism are underway

and the firm is planning studies on psoriasis, ulcerative colitis, type 1 diabetes and children with autism."

"Our most important task now is to identify which diseases to pursue and which patient populations to target, says Karin Hehenberger, Coronado's chief medical officer.

He occasionally speaks to multiple sclerosis support groups about his experiences, encouraging others to take part in research to speed the discovery of better medications.

in the 1950s and 1960s, resistant strains were found elsewhere in the US and in Japan, Korea, Iran, Israel and French guiana,

#South korea Training Children as Dementia Supporters in One of the Worlds Fastest Aging Countries High school students in Seoul, South korea assist a woman with dementia at a nursing home.

Alzheimers disease and other dementias. As one of the worlds fastest-aging countries, with nearly 9 percent of its population over 65 already afflicted, South korea has opened a oewar on Dementia, spending money and shining floodlights on a disease that is,

here as in many places, riddled with shame and fear. South korea is training thousands of people,

Besides the aging simulation exercise, they viewed a Powerpoint presentation defining dementia and were trained, in the halls Dementia Experience Center, to perform hand massage in nursing homes. oe

What did I do with my phone? Its in the refrigerator, said one instructor, explaining memory loss. oehave you seen someone like that?

They may go missing and die on the street. In another striking move, South korea is also pushing to make diagnoses early,

Hundreds of neighborhood dementia diagnostic centers have been created. Nursing homes have tripled nearly since 2008. Other dementia programs

providing day care and home care, have increased fivefold since 2008, to nearly 20,000. Care is subsidized heavily.

And a government dementia database allows families to register relatives and receive iron-on identification numbers.

Citizens encountering wanderers with dementia report their numbers to officials, who contact families. To finance this, South korea created a long-term-care insurance system,

In 2009, about $1 billion of government and public insurance money was spent on dementia patients.

dementia is straining the country, socially and economically. oeat least one family member has to give up work to provide caregiving,

families may also lose dementia sufferers incomes. Most families no longer have generations living together to help with caregiving,

Dementia Epidemic South korea is at the forefront of a worldwide eruption of dementia from about 30 million estimated cases now to an estimated 100 million in 2050.

South korea also worries that dementia, previously stigmatized as oeghost-seeing or oeones second childhood could oedilute respect for elders,

So the authorities promote the notion that filial piety implies doing everything possible for elders with dementia,

saying that it destigmatizes dementia and that patients who oeregress to earlier days may oefind it easier to relate to young children.

the bigger a gourd gets the more physical stress it experiences thus triggering giant pumpkins to grow even more. oetheir weight generates tension,

such as how tissues cope under stress, Hu says. All giant pumpkins are grown from a single strain, the Atlantic Giant seed,

Hus group squashed regular-sized gourds in the lab see how much stress they could take before rupturing.

The researchers then created a mathematical model of how the fruits could accommodate the stress.

Among the potential benefits of tougher strains of wheat: Lower prices for bread and greater food security for the worlds poor.

One reason for the size is that strains such as the Chinese spring wheat analyzed by Halls team carry six copies of the same gene (most creatures carry two.

Although the code may yet see use by genetic engineers hoping to craft pesticide-resistant strains of wheat,

Until now, breeders seeking to combine the best traits of two strains of wheat would cross pollinate the pair,

The lack of profits has been a source of stress for Ms. Respeto. Maybe as the industry matures, it will become more predictable and easier to navigate, less given to panicky phone calls about unforeseen U-turns.

Being a bit paranoid, he constructed an extraordinary three quarters of a million mushroom-shaped bunkers. That presents a lot of opportunity for creative repurposing and reuse.

The experiments were carried out by Monsanto researchers on three strains of GM maize. Two of the varieties contained genes for the Bt protein which protects the plant against the corn borer pest,

All three strains are grown widely in America, while one is the only GM crop grown in Europe, mostly in Spain.

Each strain was linked to unusual concentrations of hormones in the blood and urine of rats fed the maize for three months,

Female rats fed one of the strains also had higher blood sugar levels and raised levels of fatty substances caused triglycerides,

such as elevated heart rate, increased blood pressure and anxiety. In fact, while Viagra has become the recommended treatment for impotency,

Mom s obesity linked to kids autism and development Kids born to obese moms are more likely to diagnosed with autism.

Kids born to obese women are more likely to be diagnosed with autism or related developmental delays than the children of slimmer moms according to a new study of moms and children in California.

The research, which was looking for effects on kids cognitive development from a variety of metabolic conditions#in mom#including high blood pressure

or diabetes#found the strongest links between obesity and autism-related disorders. Researchers also found ties between the other maternal metabolic conditions and developmental delays in kids.

517 had an autism spectrum disorder and 172 had developmental delays. For Krakowiak s study

Autism is attributed to atypical brain development and characterized by a group of symptoms that include problems with socialization, communication and behavior.

Milder versions of autism, such as Asperger s syndrome and related conditions, form a spectrum#of autism-related disorders.

In addition, impairments in any one of the autism-related cognitive skill areas are considered developmental delays. Among the kids in the study with an autism spectrum disorder, 48 were born to mothers with Type 2 or gestational diabetes,

111 to mothers who were obese and 148 to moms with any sort of metabolic condition,

Overall, the connection between diabetes in a mother and her child being diagnosed with autism was not significant,

Fourteen years later about 600 people had developed dementia and 600 had suffered a stroke. People who reported diets high in antioxidants were

just as likely to develop dementia or have a stroke during the study period as individuals who consumed diets that were low in antioxidants.

 Interestingly previous studies that used information from this same group of people found a link between consumption of Vitamin e and a lower risk of dementia and between consumption of Vitamin c and a lower risk of stroke.
