OBSSR Award Lecture - June 2010

Videocast - All Events — Mon, 07 Jun 2010 20:45:00 +0100

We are approaching a watershed moment in human history, when the number of people over 65 in the USA will surpass the number of children under 15. By the time our children reach old age, living to 100 will be commonplace. Life expectancy increased so quickly that culture has not had time to catch up. But rest assured, these demographic changes will change virtually all aspects of life - education, families, financial markets and politics. To the extent that people arrive at old age mentally sharp, physically fit, and financially secure, long-lived societies will thrive. But as Matilda White Riley so eloquently argued there is a structural lag between extended years and cultural supports for those added years. I argue that among the most pressing needs of the modern world is the development...

Science on Screen Presents The Wild Child

Nature Network Boston - Upcoming Events — Sun, 27 Dec 2009 20:10:35 +0100

Francois Truffaut’s 1970 film The Wild Child (L’Enfant Sauvage) is based on the true story of a feral boy found naked and alone in the forests of southern France in 1798. Unable to speak, communicate, or function in society, the boy is taken to the National Institute for the Deaf in Paris, where he attracts the attention of a doctor named Jean Itard (played to great effect by Truffaut himself). Itard brings the boy, whom he christens Victor, into his home, where he attempts to teach him language and a sense of morality, with mixed results. The Wild Child is notable not only for its cinematic mastery, but also for its fascinating exploration of human learning and language development. Before the film, Dr. Judy Shepard-Kegl speaks about language acquisition. Dr. Shepard-Kegl has ...

Short course on developing skills in collaborative work with parental mental illness - May-June

MEDEV Events — Thu, 25 Jun 2009 08:27:43 +0100

Fee: £325 Venue: Tavistock Centre The importance of bringing both a family perspective and an integrated approach into work with children in need or children at risk has been emphasized (Every Child Matters 2004, The Childrens Act 2004), as has the requirement to assess the needs of young carers when providing services for mentally ill parents (DOH National Service Framework for Mental Health 1999). Despite this, few opportunities exist for professionals in child and adult services to learn together and share practice perspectives, skills and expertise. The family systems approach which addresses the relational contexts for both children and adults and the professional cultures that evolve around them, is ideally suited to this task. This course will be multidisciplinary and is suitable...

Can Science make you happy?

Nature Network London - Upcoming Events — Fri, 17 Apr 2009 14:09:10 +0100

Why was it that Mahler apparently never wrote another musical note after his meeting with Sigmund Freud? Why did Michel de Montaigne thank Fortune for having sent him the worst physical pain in human experience? What led to J Alfred Prufrock’s lack of self-esteem and his depression? In this talk, Professor Winston examines the role of hormone studies, brain imaging, sexuality, research into child development, pharmacology, social science research and psychological studies to see how science might help us understand happiness.

NIH State-of-the-Science Conference: Diagnosis and Management of Ductal Carcinoma In Situ (DCIS)- Day 3

Videocast - All Events — Tue, 03 Mar 2009 17:31:00 +0100

Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) is a condition in which abnormal cells are found in the lining of a breast duct. As “in situ” means “in place,” this means the abnormal cells have not spread outside the duct to other tissues in the breast. Also referred to as intraductal carcinoma and stage zero breast cancer, DCIS is the most common noninvasive tumor of the breast. DCIS is most often discovered during routine mammograms, presenting as very small specks of calcium known as microcalcifications. However, not all microcalcifications indicate the presence of DCIS and the diagnosis must be confirmed by biopsy. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) has also been used more recently as a diagnostic tool, but questions about the impact of the test on patient outcomes remain. Since the implement...

Developing clinical cultural competence in professional teams working with children and young people

MEDEV Events — Tue, 17 Feb 2009 11:28:11 +0100

Fee: £155 Venue: Tavistock Centre, London In the NHS and social care settings, the most deprived and vulnerable clients come from a variety of social, cultural and racial backgrounds, and communities and health professionals need to take this diversity into account in order to deliver the best services to all. Families and communities play important roles in partnership with health professionals and health professionals need to be able to appreciate and develop this collaboration. Similarly, in times of social change and global population movement, health professionals are required to be able to engage with and understand patients from backgrounds very different from their own and about which they have very little experience and understanding. Clinicians therefore need to develop skill ...

Role of Stearoyl-CoA Desaturase-1 in Metabolism: Implication in Human Diseases

Videocast - All Events — Wed, 21 Jan 2009 18:54:00 +0100

The rapid adaptation to a modernized lifestyle, characterized by reduced physical activity and increased consumption of processed foods rich in carbohydrate and fat, has resulted in a dramatic rise in the incidence of adult and child obesity in many nations of the World. Obesity increases the risk for numerous conditions that shorten life, including diabetes, coronary artery disease, hypertension, inflammation and fatty liver disease and other symptoms of the metabolic syndrome. The precise etiology of the numerous obesity-related risk factors is still unknown; however an increasing body of evidence indicates that genetics and environmental factors play a major role. Studies of the complex interactions among genes and nutrients are beginning to uncover the role of diets in human health and...

The Royal Institution: The cosmic childhood

Nature Network London - Upcoming Events — Tue, 14 Oct 2008 08:36:53 +0100

During the 13.7 billion years that it has been around, our Universe has gone through a number of personality developments. From its infancy, spent mostly as a fiery inferno which extended across all of space, the Universe grew up through a dark, moody adolescence when the first stars and galaxies began to form, and finally matured to be the complex and subtle entity we know and love today. Through a combination of armchair time travel, large telescopes and clever deduction, astronomers over the past 100 years have pieced together a surprising tale of how our Universe has grown up, and have identified the key events which have made the transition possible. Each working on one of these distinct epochs, Rita, Stuart and Simon will retell part of this story. However, the story is far from comp...

The Upside of Down: What We've Learned About Mood Disorders

Videocast - All Events — Mon, 31 Mar 2008 18:51:00 +0100

Many of us are touched by mood disorders at some point---whether directly or indirectly, whether in our private lives or at work.

The National Institute of Mental Health is sponsoring this symposium to update NIH staff on current findings in the study of ...

From the Rivers of Babylon to the Coronary Blood Stream

Videocast - All Events — Mon, 05 Nov 2007 15:10:00 +0100

Patients with the rare platelet disorder, Glanzmann thrombasthenia, have a lifelong bleeding disorder characterized primarily as excessive mucocutaneous hemorrhage, including easy bruising, gum bleeding, heavy menstrual periods, bleeding with surgery and childbirth, and intermittent gastrointestinal bleeding. Studies of their platelets identified a profound defect in the ability of their platelets to aggregate one with another due to deficiencies or abnormalities in the integrin AlphaIIbBeta3 (GPIIb/IIIa) receptor. This receptor is the prime mediator of platelet aggregation. When platelets are activated, the receptor undergoes conformational changes that result in it being able to bind multivalent plasma ligands, including fibrinogen and von Willebrand factor, that crosslink platelets into...

UKeiG course: Virtual rules OK? Developing a policy for the digital collection

MEDEV Events — Wed, 28 Mar 2007 04:00:00 +0100

One of the greatest responsibilities librarians have is that of developing and managing a pertinent and dynamic collection - indeed, it may be one of the fundamental arts of the librarian. Collection management comprises a series of complex activities and procedures which now encompass the virtual collection as well as the physical collection. These activities include selection, evaluation, acquisition, collection evaluation and review, preservation and promotion. If such activities are to be undertaken in a coherent and consistent fashion, one of the requirements is that the librarian establishes and administers a pragmatic written collection development policy (CDP). In North American and Australasia, libraries have, for several decades, been creating and using such policy statements. ...
