30 Days to Better Sleep: Lock the Pets Out of the Bedroom
In order to continue the advances made to create an ideal sleep environment, there is one additional heart-wrenching task: lock the pets out of the bedroom.
Many people insist that they wouldn't be able to sleep without their faithful cat or dog nestled amid the covers. In fact, some might even suggest that this favored pet would be unable to sleep without their human companions. If this sounds like a dependent relationship, it probably is, but it doesn't have to be.
You have been able to sleep without your pet and, much to your personal chagrin no doubt, your pet can sleep without you. In fact, you will probably sleep b...

Biochemical and Immunological Detection of Physical Interactions Between Penta-EF-Hand Protein ALG-2 and Its Binding Partners
Many nonenzymatic cellular proteins exert their functions by interacting with other proteins or macromolecules. Analysis of the physical interactions of proteins is an important step to understand their functions, and the information obtained is helpful for predicting the roles of the proteins in cells. Here we describe three biochemical and immunological methods for the detection of interactions between ALG-2 (a penta-EF-hand Ca2+-binding protein, also known as PDCD6) and its target proteins: (1) glutathione-S-transferase (GST) pulldown assay, (2) co-immunoprecipitation assay, and (3) Far Western blot analysis using ...

Finally well after a full abdominal at 31 – Nina’s Story
Like many girls, I started my periods at 11, but quickly realised that mine where different to others. The pain and blood loss where much higher than I could really cope with and still function. There is a history down my mothers and grandmothers side, that this is how it has always been for ‘us girls’, so I tried to put up as best I could.
By 15 I needed something to help and went to my doctor, he prescribed the pill for me, but my mother didn’t want me to take it. It wasn’t till much later she and I would understand why. From 17 to 26 I became a testing ground for all doctors and sexual health doc...

Close To One-third Of Children With Food Allergies Are Bullied
Food allergies can pre-dispose children to being bullied at school, suggests a new study published today in Pediatrics. The study examined 251 families from a New York City food allergy clinic and discovered that nearly one-third of kids have been bullied because of their food allergy. The bullying happened on school grounds and resulted in teasing. In most instances, the kids reported that classmates threatened them with the food to which they were allergic. They would wave it in front of them, throw it at them or promised they would put it in their food undetected...

Bullying: what parents need to know and do
It’s easy to think of bullying as a normal part of childhood—and no big deal. After all, it’s been going on since time immemorial. The popular kids have always picked on the less popular kids. We’ve seen it at school, watched in on TV and in the movies, maybe even lived it ourselves.
So it’s easy to brush it off, to say “kids will be kids,” to tell our bullied kid to toughen up—and maybe even to be proud of our kids who bully because they are so dominant and popular.
But bullying is a big deal, not something to be brushed off. New technology has brought cyberbullying, which can be really dangerous in its an...

Review: Vitamin D and solar ultraviolet radiation in the risk and treatment of tuberculosis
Source: Lancet Infectious Diseases
Area: News
Vitamin D has both immunostimulatory and immunosuppressive effects relevant to human antimycobacterial responses. Ultraviolet radiation, the main source of vitamin D, also induces immunomodulation and could affect the relation between vitamin D and tuberculosis (TB). Questions about the link between TB, vitamin D, and ultraviolet radiation are largely unexplored. In this article, the authors reviewed the scientific literature to provide evidence, explore contradictions, and suggest alternative hypotheses.
