Scientists Identify Novel Way To Prevent Cardiac Fibrosis
In a study that points to a new strategy for preventing or possibly reversing fibrosis the scarring that can lead to organ and tissue damage researchers at the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine have determined that a molecule called Epac (Exchange protein activated by cAMP1), plays a key role in integrating the body's pro- and anti-fibrotic response. The research will be published in the online edition of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) the week of April 21.
Inflammation is the body's response to injury in tissues, prompting healing that leads to scars, whether on the skin, or in organs such as the heart, liver or lungs. Such scarring has beneficial properties, but there's also the risk of excessive scarring, or tissue fibrosis, that can lead to organ damage and loss of function.
When thunder roars, go indoors!
A total of eight people have been killed by lightning during the last three months. The latest victims were Army soldiers at the Katukaliyawa Army Training Centre in Polonnaruwa, where four of them died and over 65 have been injured. The lightning had occurred in an area where there wasnt much rain but lightning and thunder in plenty. Lightning - The underrated killer, is a serious danger and the only weapon against this demon is the awareness what to do when the sky is roaring. A lightning strike can result in a cardiac arrest (heart stoppage) at the time of the injury, although some victims may appear to have a delayed death a few days later if they are resuscitated but have suffered irreversible brain damage. People struck by lightning suffer from a variety of long-term, debilitating symptoms, including memory loss, attention deficits, sleep disorders, numbness, dizziness, stiffness in joints, irritability, fatigue, weakness, muscle spasms, depression, and an inability to sit for long.

Anti-sex slavery activist in Denver tonight
Working as a teen-aged sex slave in a Cambodian brothel, Somaly Mam says she served up to 30 clients a night. Some hit her. "I never thought, just lived hour by hour. I played with nothing. In my head: nothing. It was dark, dark, dark. I never trusted people," Mam said Friday during a visit to Denver. "I was dead." She tried suicide, she said. Her turning point: the day a brothel pimp fired a bullet through the head of her friend, Srymom, who dared refuse customers - warning other girls to obey. Mam said she then began trying to help a newcomer, a girl with dark skin like her, and eventually used the brothel keys to set her free. Brothel owners soon released Mam, deeming her too old for Cambodia's booming sex trade. Ever since, Mam has been arranging rescues of child sex slaves - more than 4,000 over the past decade.
Relax, slow down with elderly mom
Dear Amy: My mother is 82 and recently remarried. Her 83-year-old husband is very attentive to her. They live on their own and are healthy. My sisters and I are in close touch. I call a few times a week and make a weekly visit. She lives only eight miles away. Today, Mom told me that I'm "always in a hurry" and that I'm "too aggressive" when we talk. She has been sick, so I had specific questions for her. In the same conversation, she seemed to want to absolve me for being "in a hurry and aggressive" by saying she knows I'm experiencing "a lot of stress." From my point of view, my stress level is pretty normal -- family illness and work concerns. I'm not a workaholic. My work is a dream job -- I get a lot out of it. Mom mentioned her anxiety and said it kept her from enjoying certain moments of our time together.
