CAPHOSOL relieves oral mucositis and improves quality-of-life in cancer patients
New data show that CAPHOSOL, an advanced electrolyte solution, relieves painful oral mucositis and improves quality of life for cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy and radiation therapy. These data will be reported in two separate presentations, one today in an oral podium presentation and one tomorrow as a poster session, at the 33rd Annual Congress of the Oncology Nursing Society.

Scientists on trail of way to predict NF1 tumor growth and associated malignant tumors
Researchers at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center have identified proteins that could be biological markers of non-cancerous nerve tumors called Neurofibromatosis 1, which can change to a highly aggressive cancer called malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors. This new finding could help resolve a current lack of reliable ways to diagnose NF1 and MPNST in patients, according to a study presented at the annual meeting of the American Society of Pediatric Hematology/Oncology.

How did that chain letter get to my inbox?
Everyone who has an e-mail account has probably received a forwarded chain letter promising good luck if the message is forwarded on to others -- or terrible misfortune if it isn't. The sheer volume of forwarded messages such as chain letters, online petitions, jokes and other materials leads to a simple question -- how do these messages reach so many people so quickly?

New E-health recommendations from ACP aim to improve health care quality, safety, and access
In a new position paper released today, the American College of Physicians says that collaboration among physicians, patients, technology developers, and policymakers must occur if E-health activities like electronic communication between physicians and their patients, remote monitoring of patients, personal and electronic health records, and patients seeking health information online are to transform health care in the US.

Spin control: New technique sorts nanotubes by length
Researchers at NIST have reported a new technique to sort batches of carbon nanotubes by length using high-speed centrifuges. The technique should be easy to scale to industrial quantities for a variety of nanotube applications where length is an important factor.

Emergency links: NIST identifies 'sweet spot' for radios in tunnels
Researchers at NIST have confirmed that underground tunnels -- generally a difficult setting for radios -- can have a frequency "sweet spot" at which signals may travel several times farther than at other frequencies. The finding may point to strategies for enhancing rescue communications in subways and mines.

Fibroids common, but women have options
Small fibroids located just beneath the lining of the uterus (submucosal) are more likely to move to the endometrial cavity after uterine artery embolization but usually don't cause major complications, according to a new study.

Item! Candidates are buying your vote
A daring new article in the Journal of Political Economy creates a theoretical voting system where, in addition to the already accepted campaign promises, votes can be bought and sold free of stigma. Within this system, the authors are able to shed light on the economics of our approaching general election

Drug fends off kidney cancer progression
New data from an international, multicenter Phase III clinical trial has found that the experimental targeted therapy everolimus (RAD001) significantly delays cancer progression in patients with metastatic kidney cancer whose disease had worsened on other treatments.

New method proposed for determining which patients should get treatment for colorectal cancer
A new study being presented at the American Society of Clinical Oncology meeting in Chicago (Abstract #4020), may change treatment practice in about 25 percent of patients with colon cancer, and is the basis for proposed changes to the way colorectal cancers will be staged.
