Boosting 'cellular garbage disposal' can delay the aging process, UCLA biologists report
UCLA life scientists have identified a gene previously implicated in Parkinson's disease that can delay the onset of aging and extend the healthy life span of fruit flies. The research, they say, could have important implications for aging and disease in humans.
The gene, called parkin, serves at least two vital functions: It marks damaged proteins so that cells can discard them before they become toxic, and it is believed to play a key role in the removal of damaged mitochondria from cells.
"Aging is a major risk factor for the development and progression of many neurodegenerative diseases," said David Walke...

Joe Farman obituary
Scientist whose discovery of the depletion of the ozone layer sparked global action to phase out dangerous chemicalsJoe Farman, who has died aged 82, was the leader of a small group of scientists who made one of the most important discoveries in recent history. In 1985, they published a landmark paper on the ozone layer, the protective skin that filters the sun's ultraviolet rays and without which the rays can cause cancers and eye damage. Their research showed that the ozone layer was being rapidly depleted over the Antarctic.Just two years later, world governments signed the Montreal protocol, a treaty phasing out the us...

President's Page: An Urgent Call to Action: Graduate Medical Education Funding and the Future of Health Care
Cardiovascular medicine is experiencing a confluence of events that pose a significant threat to the future health of the nation. By 2030, it is predicted that more than 40% of adult Americans will have some form of cardiovascular disease. In addition, current projections indicate a 25% increase in the prevalence of both heart failure and stroke over the next 20 years—a result of an aging U.S. population . To make matters more complicated, an additional 30 million Americans will be seeking healthcare services beginning as early as next year as a result of the Affordable Care Act .

Smoking behaviour trends among Portuguese physicians: are they role models? A conference-based survey
This study explores smoking behaviour among Portuguese physicians and addresses the research question: Do Portuguese physicians act as role models by smoking less than the general population or reporting willingness to quit? This was an exploratory questionnaire-based cross-sectional study conducted in 2009 during two major national medical conferences, and reproducing previous survey methodology. Self-administered questionnaires were delivered and collected during the Stroke Society Annual Conference (all 450 physicians in attendance) and the GP Society Annual Conference (33% systematic random sample out of 1500 participa...

Researchers ID more pesticides linked to Parkinson's, gene that increases risk
This report provides evidence for the relevance of ALDH inhibition in Parkinson's disease pathogenesis, identifies pesticides that should be avoided to reduce the risk of developing Parkinson's disease and suggests that therapies modulating ALDH enzyme activity or otherwise eliminating toxic aldehydes should be developed and tested to potentially reduce Parkinson's disease occurrence or slow its progression, particularly for patients exposed to pesticides," the study states.
The study was funded in part by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (P01ES016732, R01ES010544, 5R21ES16446-2 and U54ES0120...

New Obama Climate Regulations Could Help U.S. Pressure China
MoreWhy ‘Global Warming’ Is Scarier Than ‘Climate Change’The Bible Calls for Moral Action on Climate ChangeClimate Change Could Sink Statue of Liberty, Report WarnsAs my colleague Michael Grunwald points out, the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) proposed new rules on carbon emissions from the power sector are a big deal. (Vice President Joe Biden might use slightly different language.) The rules—which still have to go through a year of public comment and which will almost certainly face legal and Congressional challenges—would cut carbon emissions from the power sector by 30% below ...

UCLA volunteers at free clinic solve small problems for poor that could become catastrophic
It was a typical misunderstanding that could have led to disastrous consequences. The man had run out of medication to control his hypertension. But he couldn’t afford to get it refilled, or so he thought.
So instead of picking up a simple, generic medication at Wal-Mart or Target for $4, the man decided to go without it and unknowingly put himself at risk for a stroke. All because he didn’t realize he could obtain the medication cheaply.
Fortunately, he was one of hundreds who were treated by UCLA health care workers volunteering at the Care Harbor’s annual health clinic held Sept. 11-14 at the Los Angeles Sports Ar...

Sol “Bud” Silverman, Jr., MA, DDS May 12, 1926 – August 13, 2014
The dental community is deeply saddened by the announcement of the unexpected death of “Bud” following a massive stroke. Although 88 years old, Bud was still professionally active and athletically young until the last month of life. He continued to teach and treat patients at the University of California San Francisco (UCSF) School of Dentistry, as he had since graduation in 1954. At the time of his death, he was a senior Professor at this prestigious Medical Center.
