Left 4 Dead Sneak Peek

Oct 17, 2008 - As one of my top five picks for this year's scariest games, I jumped at the chance to get an early look at the zombie shooter Left 4 Dead at a recent preview party here in San Francisco. Coming next month to your Xbox 360 and PC, I already knew the plot would have you trying to find your way out of a zombie-filled city with you and your three pals. But what I didn't know was that players will also get the chance to play as the zombies, trying to stop the humans from escaping (and eventually becoming dinner). - 2 Comments

Cool Idea: Tree Stump Relief Printing

Apr 13, 2009 - For good reason, environmentalists are up in arms over rain forests being bulldozed for their timber value, one of the earth's greatest biological treasures left carved down to sad little stumps. If I were to play devil's advocate, I'd call up Bryan Nash Gill, who has translated a dismal tree stump into something beautiful. Through relief printing and a laborious rubbing technique, Bryan created the print Hemlock 82 ($4,000), essentially a manual Xerox of the gorgeous growth rings of one section of a tree. - 8 Comments

HEALTH GUIDE REFERENCE FROM A.D.A.M Highlights Diagnosis: Diagnosing pneumonia may be difficult, since lab tests to grow the bacteria from samples can take many days to process, and chest x-rays cannot always distinguish between pneumonia and other conditions. New tests have the potential to make diagnosis easier and quicker. One is a blood test that identifies a marker of severe inflammation in the body. - 0 Comments

HEALTH GUIDE REFERENCE FROM A.D.A.M Highlights Screening for Sickle Cell Disease The United States Preventive Services Task Force’s 2007 guidelines recommend that all newborn infants be screened for sickle cell disease. (In the United States, most states require hospitals to perform this test.) Early detection of sickle cell disease ensures that babies will be given treatment to prevent infections.

HEALTH GUIDE REFERENCE FROM A.D.A.M Highlights New Guidelines for Localized Prostate Cancer In 2007, the American Urological Association (AUA) released updated guidelines for treatment of localized prostate cancer. The guidelines recommend that:

Patients should be classified as low, intermediate, or high risk, depending on their PSA levels, cancer stage, and tumor aggressiveness.
Doctors need to consider patients’ personal preferences and quality of life concerns as well as their clinical status.
Standard treatment options include active surveillance (watchful waiting), surgery, or radiation therapy. Initial androgen deprivation therapy (hormone therapy) is seldom recommended for localized prostate cancer.

New Guidelines for Androgen Deprivation Therapy

The American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) 2007 guidelines recommend that doctors delay androgen deprivation therapy for advanced prostate cancer until patients develop symptoms. - 0 Comments

HEALTH GUIDE REFERENCE FROM A.D.A.M Highlights Radiation Therapy Complications

Radiation therapy in children with cancer increases the risk of new brain and spinal cord tumors, suggests a study in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute. The risk appears to increase along with the radiation dosage. Children who receive radiotherapy before age 5 are especially at risk for second primary tumors.
Survivors of childhood brain tumors who received cranial radiotherapy as part of their treatment are at risk for later having a stroke, indicates a study in the Journal of Clinical Oncology. - 0 Comments

HEALTH GUIDE REFERENCE FROM A.D.A.M Highlights Uterine Artery Embolization Versus Standard Surgery Many women with fibroids are considering a procedure called uterine artery embolization (UAE) as an alternative to standard surgery such as hysterectomy or myomectomy. A study published in 2007 in the New England Journal of Medicine compared these treatment approaches. The study suggested that UAE results in shorter hospital stay and faster recovery time, but a small percentage of women may later need repeat embolization or a hysterectomy. - 0 Comments
