Medicine & Health news

	Scientists find first evidence of 'local' clock in the brain Researchers have gained fresh insights into how 'local' body clocks control waking and sleeping.
	With age comes a better understanding of social signals (Medical Xpress)—Neuroscientists have discovered an unexpected benefit of getting older – a more nuanced understanding of social signals, such as the age of others.
	Chlamydia knocks out the body's own cancer defence Infections due to the sexually transmitted bacterium Chlamydia trachomatis often remain unnoticed. The pathogen is not only a common cause of female infertility; it is also suspected of increasing the risk of abdominal cancer. A research team at the Max Planck Institute for Infection Biology in Berlin has now observed the breakdown of an important endogenous protective factor in the course of chlamydial infection. By activating the destruction of p53 protein, the bacterium blocks a key protective mechanism of infected cells, the initiation of programmed cell death. This protective function of p53 is also impaired in many forms of cancer. The new insights underpin the suspected relationship between chlamydial infection and the occurrence of certain types of cancers.
	Scientists uncover mechanism that controls the fitness of cells, impacting aging and disease A novel looping mechanism that involves the end caps of DNA may help explain the aging of cells and how they initiate and transmit disease, according to new research from UT Southwestern Medical Center cell biologists.

	Anti-cancer drug protects normal cells from radiation damage, increases effectiveness of radiation therapy Although radiation treatments have become much more refined in recent years, it remains a challenge to both sufficiently dose the tumor while sparing the surrounding tissue. A new anti-cancer drug, already in clinical development, may help address this issue by protecting normal cells - but not the cancer - from the effects of radiation. The research, published November 14th in Molecular Cancer Therapeutics, further suggests this drug may also be useful in treating accidental exposure to radiation.
	Emory Healthcare physicians describe care of first two patients with Ebola virus disease Five physicians who treated patients with Ebola virus disease at Emory University Hospital have published an article in the New England Journal of Medicine describing details of the care of the first two patients – Kent Brantly and Nancy Writebol, Americans who were transferred to Emory in early August after becoming ill in Liberia.

	Some psychiatric patients are more frequent users of hospital ERs Long waits for care in overcrowded U.S. emergency departments (EDs) are stressful for patients and care providers and increase the risk of adverse events and the costs of care. ED patients with psychiatric conditions, in particular, have been found to commonly have ED lengths of stay that range from eight hours to more than a day. New research in General Hospital Psychiatry identifies key characteristics of ED users with mental health issues in order to help predict and possibly reduce the likelihood of future ED visits.
	A mechanism that alters the regulation of calcium in cells could be involved in neurodegenerative disease The calcium ion Ca2+ regulates an enormous number of cellular processes. Control of Ca2+ is therefore crucial and is achieved by precise regulation of proteins that allow the ion to move between different parts of the cell. Research led by Katsuhiko Mikoshiba and Kozo Hamada from the Laboratory for Developmental Neurobiology at the RIKEN Brain Science Institute has now revealed a previously unknown mechanism that regulates the release of Ca2+ from stores inside cells and which could be involved in several brain disorders.
