BioMçİrieux Announces AOAC-RI Certification Of Its New VIDAS(R) UP E. Coli O157 (Including H7 Strain) Detection Kit
bioMçİrieux (Paris:BIM), a world leader in the field of in vitro diagnostics, announced that an AOAC-RI certification has been granted (No. 060903) to the VIDAS® UP E. coli O157 (Including H7) method for screening beef, selected produce and irrigation water. Food manufacturers in the U.S. and many other countries rely on AOAC-RI certified testing methods to release their products on the market. The new solution is based on recombinant phage protein, the latest technology available for food pathogen screening, which offers unique specificity and sensitivity. E. coli O157:H7 is a potentially lethal strain of Escherichia coli that has caused many food outbreaks in the United States, Canada, Japan, and Europe.

What Is Allergic Conjunctivitis? What Causes Allergic Conjunctivitis?
Most people get allergic conjunctivitis when their eyes come into contact with an allergen - a substance which makes the body"s immune system overreact. The eye becomes sore, inflamed and sometimes painful. Symptoms occur because the overreacting immune system makes the body release histamine and other active substances by mast cells - these cause dilation of blood vessels (blood vessels expand, widen), which irritates the nerve endings and causes increased secretion of tears.

California Rulings: State Can Cut Medi-Cal Benefits But Not Home Care Wages
"A federal judge on Thursday blocked a $2 hourly wage cut for California in-home care workers that was slated to begin July 1, potentially increasing California"s budget deficit by another $98 million," The Sacramento Bee reports. In an oral injunction, the judge ordered the state "to continue paying up to $12.10 in wages and benefits to In-Home Supportive Services workers, according to parties on both sides of the suit. As part of the February budget deal, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and the Legislature approved a cut to $10.10 per hour - $9.50 in wages and 60 cents in benefits." The lawsuit was filed by The Service Employees International Union, which represents IHSS workers. "IHSS advocates say the system saves the state money because recipients would otherwise use more costly care provided by nursing facilities. But the Senate Office of Oversight and Outcomes this year also found that the IHSS program lacks sufficient oversight and suffers from fraud and abuse" (Yamamura, 6/26).

New Risk Factors For Teen Self Harm

A lack of emotional intelligence leads to poor coping strategies and seriously increases the likelihood of self-harm in teenagers, claims a study published yesterday, in the British Journal of Clinical Psychology. The study, carried out by Moira Mikolajczak from the Universite Catholique de Louvain, Belgium, K. V. Petrides from the London Psychometric Laboratory at University College London and Jane Hurry from the Institute of Education examined the levels of self harm, emotional intelligence and coping strategies of 490 British secondary school pupils. Dr Petrides said: "People who turn to self harm claim to do so to regulate their emotions, which indicates that they cannot manage their feelings in a healthy way. We wanted to better understand the underlying psychological issues that lead adolescents to harm themselves." Of the 490 students who took part, 132 (27 per cent) reported having deliberately self harmed, either hitting or cutting themselves or taking an overdose of recreational drugs. 65 per cent of self harmers were found to have mild to severe symptoms of depression. "We found that teenagers who self harmed had both significantly lower scores on a measure of emotional intelligence and were more likely to use maladaptive coping strategies such as self criticism or self blame. This suggests that self harm is a desperate attempt to reduce the negative feelings that are worsened by their poor and ineffective emotional coping strategies." "However efficient self harm may be at reducing negative emotions in the short term, this is at the cost of serious physical injury and longer term psychological problems. These findings will help us develop coaching programmes for the treatment of self harm patients that focus on developing both better methods of coping and boosting emotional intelligence." British Psychological Society
