Poor Health Habits Discovered In Most Older Long-Term Cancer Survivors
A new study finds that most older long-term cancer survivors who are interested in diet and exercise actually have poor health habits. The study also reveals that those survivors who do exercise and watch their diet have improved physical health and quality of life. Published in the September 1, 2009 issue of Cancer, a peer-reviewed journal of the American Cancer Society, the research indicates that greater efforts are needed to encourage elderly cancer survivors to live healthier lives.

SUDS Machine Designed To Reduce Hospital Infections And Cut Back On Expensive "Disposables"
Hopkins experts in applied physics, computer engineering, infectious diseases, emergency medicine, microbiology, pathology and surgery have unveiled a 7-foot-tall, $10,000 shower-cubicle-shaped device that automatically sanitizes in 30 minutes all sorts of hard-to-clean equipment in the highly trafficked hospital emergency department. The novel device can sanitize and disinfect equipment of all shapes and sizes, from intravenous line poles and blood pressure cuffs, to pulse oximeter wires and electrocardiogram (EKG) wires, to computer keyboards and cellphones.

Neurointerventionists Expand Research To Quality Of Life In Aneurysm Patients Following Minimally Invasive Coiling Treatment
Since the groundbreaking 2002 ISAT International Subarachnoid Aneurysm Trial (ISAT) which ultimately was halted due to overwhelming evidence that minimally invasive coiling (an endovascular therapy) was, on average, superior to traditional surgical clipping in the treatment of brain aneurysms many studies have continued to prove the short and long-term viability of this procedure. Further technical refinements for coiling are underway all over the world.

1994 Group Responds To Innovation, Universities, Science and Skills Committee 'Students And Universities' Report

Responding to the Innovation, Universities, Science and Skills Committee (IUSS) report on "Students and Universities" Professor Paul Wellings, Chair of the 1994 Group of leading research intensive universities and Vice-Chancellor of Lancaster University said: "We will examine with interest the recommendations made in this challenging and wide-ranging report. The 1994 Group supports flexible and diverse higher education provision which allows the sector to meet the wide range of differing needs of students, government, businesses and communities. However, we must ensure that throughout this diverse range of provision the very highest quality of academic experience is maintained." "1994 Group universities are strongly committed to improving access and are using variable bursaries to assist fair access and encourage students from lower socio-economic groups to attend world-class research-intensive universities. The system of universities offering individual bursary schemes is crucial to meet the specific needs of their students. 1994 Group universities are investing over ÷£28.4m this year in student support and outreach activity. We offer an outstanding academic experience to talented students regardless of their background." "A national bursary scheme would be a big mistake; it would effectively be a tax, a forced pooling of tuition fee income, which would be distributed away from the institution to which a student pays his or her fee. It would seriously compromise the direct relationship between a student"s fees and their education." "1994 Group universities provide an excellent academic experience and a wide range of support for part-time and mature students and we would welcome the opportunity to work with the Government to examine how to continue to improve the student experience for all students across the sector." 1994 Group
