Laparoscopic Hysterectomy Surgery – Shelly’s Story

Thirteen years ago (when I was 39) I was diagnosed with having a 11 cm in diameter fibroid. I did not have any of the symptoms the rest of you have written about. All of the gynaecologists I saw at the time found it remarkable that I was not having any symptoms at the time, but still said it would be advisable to have removed, but at the time my life was quite busy and I felt I could not afford to take the time off to recover from a...

All of the gynaecologists I saw at the time found it remarkable that I was not having any symptoms at the time, but still said it would be advisable to have removed, but at the time my life was quite busy and I felt I could not afford to take the time off to recover from a major surgery.
A year later I started having very bad stress and urge incontinence and all the doctors I saw said it would be because the fibroid was so large and pressing against my bladder. I...

Self-cleaning surfaces: The importance of a single groove
An innovative algorithm exposes the energy pathways that cause super-repellent surfaces to stop working. 'Superhydrophobic' surfaces, such as anti-icing or self-cleaning windows, are remarkably effective at repelling water molecules. However, they may suddenly -- and dramatically -- lose their superhydrophobic features. Researchers have now identified a cause for the widespread 'wetting transition' by pinpointing how infiltration of a single microscopic groove can cause such an event.

A cure for dry eye could be a blink away
(Rochester Institute of Technology) Kara Maki, assistant professor in Rochester Institute of Technology's School of Mathematical Sciences, contributed to a recent National Science Foundation study seeking to understand the basic motion of tear film traversing the eye. 'Tear Film Dynamic with Evaporation, Wetting and Time Dependent Flux boundary Condition on an Eye-shaped Domain,' published in the journal Physics of Fluids on May 6, is an extension of Maki's doctoral research.

NICE highlights how hand washing can save lives
“Doctors and nurses should do more to stop hospital patients developing infections, an NHS watchdog says,” BBC News reports.
The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) has highlighted how basic hygiene protocols, such as hand washing, may be overlooked by some health professionals, which may threaten patient safety.
NICE points out that one in 16 people being treated on the NHS picks up a hospital acquired infection such as meticillin-resistant staphylococcus (MRSA).
“It is unacceptable that infection rates are still so high within the NHS” said Professor Gillian Leng, director of Health an...

Forever clean? Metal–organic 'micromushrooms' repel all
A clever chemical transformation yields surface-bound microstructures that efficiently drive away oil- and water-based contaminants. Natural surfaces that repel water, such as lotus leaves or butterfly wings, often have a rough, microscale texture that traps air beneath the liquid droplet. By mimicking these biological structures, researchers have developed 'superhydrophobic' coatings that are highly resistant to wetting. One trick unknown to nature, however, is the ability to repel hydrocarbon-based oils that have much lower surface tension than water and tend to spread out rather than bead up.

Ketamine tested as severe depression treatment
Conclusion
This small open label trial aimed to further investigate the safety and possible effectiveness of giving repeated ketamine infusions over a three week period to a small group of people with depression that had not responded to previous treatments. Almost a third responded to treatment. The treatment also had no detrimental effect on participants in terms of memory, though there were some side effects and seven people withdrew from the study. Two because of side effects during the infusion; and five because they were getting no benefit and were becoming more anxious.
This was an early stage study and not a ran...

The climate change deniers have won | Nick Cohen
Scientists continue to warn us about global warming, but most of us have a vested interest in not wanting to think about itThe American Association for the Advancement of Science came as close as such a respectable institution can to screaming an alarm last week. "As scientists, it is not our role to tell people what they should do," it said as it began one of those sentences that you know will build to a "but". "But human-caused climate risks abrupt, unpredictable and potentially irreversible changes."In other words, the most distinguished scientists from the country with the world's pre-eminent educational institutions w...
