Non-Bacterial Aortic Valve Vegetation
A 31 year-old man was referred to our hospital for management of a 2cm×2.3cm lesion seen on the left coronary cusp of his aortic valve on transoesophageal echocardiogram (, panel A and B). There was a mild gradient across the aortic valve (mean gradient of 17mmHg) and some mild eccentric aortic regugitation as a consequence of the lesion. Echocardiography had been performed after an ejection systolic murmur was noted by his local medical officer. He denied symptoms of infection or congestive cardiac failure. Routine initial investigations were unremarkable. Multiple sets of blood cultures were negative. Urgent antiphospho...

Can pain be 'switched off'?
Conclusion
This study adds to the scientific knowledge about which genes play a role in pain response. The study shows an association between a low pain threshold and reduced gene expression in nine locations on the DNA.
This means that researchers have found changes not only in genes already known to be involved in pain response, but in other genes as well. As the study was conducted in identical twins, the researchers have also been able to identify that the gene responses started off the same but have become different for some reason.
The study shows that there is an association, but it does not provide information abo...

Caution urged over CT scan radiation doses
BBC News reports on a sharp rise in the number of CT scans being performed, exposing people to the potential health risks of radiation.
However, as The Daily Telegraph says, it is not possible to calculate the cancer risk due to exposure to CT scans because there is a lack of data.
These media stories follow the publication of a report by the Committee on Medical Aspects of Radiation in the Environment (COMARE). COMARE has reviewed trends in the use of CT scans in the UK. The review weighs up the risk-benefit balance of using CT scans, and considers ways to obtain the best quality scan image while minimising the necessary...

Endoscopic supraorbital eyebrow approach for the surgical treatment of extraaxialand intraaxial tumors.
Conclusions The endoscopic supraorbital eyebrow approach is a safe and effective minimally invasive approach to remove extra- and intraaxial anterior skull base, parasellar, and frontal lesions, promoting a rapid recovery and short hospital stay. The location of the eyebrow incision demands a meticulous cosmetic closure, but, with proper technique, cosmetic results are excellent.

U.N.: Phase Out Fossil Fuels By 2100 Or Face ‘Irreversible’ Climate Impact
Greenhouse gas emissions may have to cease by the end of the century to keep global temperatures from reaching levels many scientists consider dangerous, the United Nations’ latest climate assessment suggests.
“Science has spoken,” U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon said in Copenhagen at Sunday’s launch of the fourth and final report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), CBS News reports. “There is no ambiguity in their message. Leaders must act. Time is not on our side.”
The IPCC assessment, which incorporated the findings of three other reports over the past 13 month...
