Focus on You Wellness Lecture: The Role of Sleep in Health
Focus on you wellness lecture
Health and wellness lecture in observance of American Heart Month.
Are you not getting enough sleep? If so, join the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute's (NHBLI) foremost expert on sleep research, Michael J. Twery, Ph.D., to learn what's at stake for your heart — and what you can do to get your sleep on track.
Learn how inadequate sleep affects your body chemistry. Did you know that your heart and blood vessels lose some of their ability to fight damage? Did you also know that not enough sleep can lead to stress, overeating, weight gain and even obesity? Dr. Twery will also talk about...

These bubbles may be able to rid fruits and vegetables of E. coli and Salmonella w
It's easy to think of soap suds when one thinks of bubbles, but these bubbles can clean without chemicals. These are cavitation bubbles, which are created when air is churned up in water. And what researchers are learning could ultimately lead to chemical-free cleaning methods for fruits and ...This is an NSF Multimedia Gallery item. (Source: NSF Multimedia Gallery)

ContentMine: High-Throughput Extractions of Facts from Scientific Articles
The NIH Frontiers in Data Science Lecture Series" ContentMine: High-Throughput Extractions of Facts from Scientific Articles "
Dr. Peter Murray-Rust, University of Cambridge and Founder of the ContenMine Project
There are millions of scientific articles published each year, but much of the content is not accessible because it is non-machine-readable or hidden in supplemental information or bitmapped figures. Content Mining (Text-and-Data Mining/TDM) turns this semi-structured material into semantic form (XML) and annotates it with known metadata. EuropePMC, which works closely with PubMedCentral, provides an API for rapid ...

How to Hit HIV Where It Hurts
Immunology Interest Group Seminar Series
No medical procedure has saved more lives than vaccination. But, today, some pathogens have evolved which have defied successful vaccination using the empirical paradigms pioneered by Pasteur and Jenner. One characteristic of many pathogens for which successful vaccines do not exist is that they present themselves in various guises. HIV is an extreme example because of its high mutability. This highly mutable virus can evade natural or vaccine induced immune responses, often by mutating at multiple sites linked by compensatory interactions. I will first describe how by bringing to t...

Nanolayered drug-release systems for regenerative medicine and targeted nanotherapies
NIH Director's Wednesday Afternoon Lecture Series
Margaret Pittman Lecture
Alternating electrostatic assembly is a tool that makes it possible to create ultrathin film coatings that contain highly controlled quantities of one or more therapeutic molecules within a singular construct. These release systems greatly exceed the usual ranges of traditional degradable polymers. The nature of the layering process enables the incorporation of different drugs within different regions of the thin-film architecture; the result is an ability to uniquely tailor both the independent-release profiles and order-of-release of each therap...
