| • | Imitation Is Not Just Flattery For Amazon Butterfly Species | ||
| Many studies of evolution focus on the benefits to the individual of competing successfully ? those who survive produce the most offspring, in Darwin's classic 'survival of the fittest'. But how does this translate to the evolution of species? A new article reviews an aspect of the natural world that, like survival of the fittest individual, is explained by natural selection: namely, mutualism -- an interaction between species that has benefits for both. The work shows that some species of butterfly that live alongside one another have evolved in ways that, surprisingly, benefit both species. | |||

| • | Surgery for endometriosis-associated infertility: a pragmatic approach | ||
|
Laparoscopic treatment for endometriosis-associated infertility is gaining widespread popularity supported mostly by uncontrolled studies, but the purported benefit of surgery may be overvalued. We have therefore analysed the best available evidence with the aim of defining an approximate estimate of the effect size of conservative surgery for infertile women with endometriosis in various clinical conditions. The overall increase in post-operative likelihood of conception over background pregnancy rate may be estimated to be between 10 and 25%. The effect of surgery for peritoneal lesions is limited, and an estimate of benefit should be decreased by the fact that preoperative identification of the subjects actually with the condition is unfeasible. The benefit of excision of ovarian endometriomas is difficult to define due to multiple confounding factors and methodological drawbacks in the considered studies. Excision of rectovaginal endometriosis is of doubtful value and associated with worrying morbidity. The role of surgery before, after or as an alternative to IVF needs clarification. In conclusion, the absolute benefit increase of surgery for endometriosis-associated infertility appears smaller than previously believed. Complete and detailed information on risks and benefits of treatment alternatives must be offered to infertile patients to allow unbiased choices between possible options. |

| A rapid immunochromatographic test (SD Bioline malaria P.f/P.v) for the diagnosis of malaria was evaluated against thick blood smears in Port Harcourt, Nigeria, for the purpose of evaluating its efficacy for field work. Two hundred and forty children aged 1-8 years were surveyed in a cross sectional prospective study. For P. falciparum, the SD Bioline was 47% sensitive and 100% specific, with a positive predictive value (PPV) of 100% and a negative predictive value (NPV) of 83.2%. Efficiency of the test was 85.4%. The overall malaria prevalence in this study was 27.5%. P. falciparum accounted for 25.0%, while other species accounted for 2.75%. The cost of the SD Bioline test cassette (US $ 1.98 (230 Naira) per test at the time of study) was quite affordable. We concluded that the sensitivity of SD Bioline is low but with a threshold of 1000 parasites/microlitre among asymptomatic malaria infected children and affordable cost, this RDT (SD Bioline) could serve as a useful epidemiological tool in P. falciparum malaria endemic areas in the developing countries. | |||

| • | Efficacy of systemic insecticides on the gall wasp Quadrastichus erythrinae in wiliwili trees (Erythrina spp.) | ||
| BACKGROUND: Erythrina gall wasp (EGW), Quadrastichus erythrinae Kim, was first found on Oahu Island, Hawaii, in April 2005. Its rapid spread and infestation in wiliwili trees (Erythrina spp.) have brought an urgent need to suppress its population. Little is known about the control of EGW in wiliwili trees.RESULTS: Among the systemic insecticides abamectin, dinotefuran and imidacloprid, applied via trunk injections or soil drenches, injections of imidacloprid showed better control of EGW in wiliwili trees. All the imidacloprid injection treatments had varying levels of effectiveness against EGW, but not the soil drench. The levels of imidacloprid were higher in lower canopies than those in the other parts within a tree. Imidacloprid remained detectable 1 year after treatment. The trees injected with the products IMA-jet and Merit 200 SL via Arborjet had lower infestation severity ratings for the entire growth season and carried more imidacloprid than those with Imicide via Mauget or Pointer via Wedgle injections.CONCLUSION: The results indicate that, among the three insecticides tested, imidacloprid is most effective against EGW in the trees. Concentrations of imidacloprid in the leaves need to be 4 mg kg-1 or higher for good EGW control. Copyright © 2008 Society of Chemical Industry | |||

| • | 7.344 Antibiotics, Toxins, and Protein Engineering, Spring 2007 (MIT) | ||
| Seminar covering topics of current interest in biology. Includes reading and analysis of research papers and student presentations. Contact Biology Education Office for topics. From the course home page: Course Description The lethal poison Ricin (best known as a weapon of bioterrorism), Diphtheria toxin (the causative agent of a highly contagious bacterial disease), and the widely used antibiotic tetracycline have one thing in common: They specifically target the cell's translational apparatus and disrupt protein synthesis. In this course, we will explore the mechanisms of action of toxins and antibiotics, their roles in everyday medicine, and the emergence and spread of drug resistance. We will also discuss the identification of new drug targets and how we can manipulate the protein synthesis machinery to provide powerful tools for protein engineering and potential new treatments for patients with devastating diseases, such as cystic fibrosis and muscular dystrophy. This course is one of many Advanced Undergraduate Seminars offered by the Biology Department at MIT. These seminars are tailored for students with an interest in using primary research literature to discuss and learn about current biological research in a highly interactive setting. Many instructors of the Advanced Undergraduate Seminars are postdoctoral scientists with a strong interest in teaching. | |||

| • | Binge alcohol treatment of adolescent rats followed by alcohol abstinence is associated with site-specific differences in bone loss and incomplete recovery of bone mass and strength. | ||
| Authors: Lauing K, Himes R, Rachwalski M, Strotman P, Callaci JJ We previously demonstrated that alcohol-fed adolescent rats exhibit reductions in lumbar spine bone mineral density (BMD) and vertebral body height, suggesting that chronic alcohol consumption has negative consequences for skeletal development during adolescence. Binge alcohol consumption is common in adolescents and young adults, yet little is known about its consequences on skeletal integrity or the attainment of peak bone mass. We used a previously validated binge alcohol exposure model to test the hypothesis that binge alcohol treatment of adolescent rats would be associated with distinct temporal and site-specific bone loss profiles, with incomplete recovery from bone loss following a period of alcohol abstinence.

| • | Twilight [A Blog Around The Clock] | ||
Saw the movie over the weekend. Mrs.Coturnix and Coturnietta read the first book (Coturnietta is now reading the second) so we went together. I am a horrible movie critic - I usually kick back, munch popcorn, and enjoy every piece of crap on the screen. Heck, I love B-monster movies. So, back to Twilight - first, it was obvious it was a movie made after a book: - it was too long (Hollywood makes them 90min by design) OK, so this place is, like, in the middle of nowhere and has population of 1200 and some change. That 'change' must be the few adults, as the high school looks like it houses about 1200 students (it was actually a Seattle suburb school where it was filmed), so almost all inhabitants must be high-schoolers. For a place that small, the school is amazingly big, clean, bright and well-equipped. For a place that small, the diversity is amazing - just the right mix of whites, blacks, Asians, Native Americans and vampires. For a place that small, stats would suggest a total of about 2-3 prettier-than-normal people, but here, every single person is gorgeous - every guy is super-handsome and every woman is stunningly beautiful. Nobody's fat. Nobody's ugly. Nobody's just, you know, normal! Also, the movie is constantly reminding us how the two main protagonists are hawt, and self-aware about their hawtness, and self-confident about their hawtness, and too busy with their adventure to pay much attention to the mere mortals around them. But there was just a small hint (the scene in the biology lab in which they won an onion) that they are also very smart and educated. I asked Mrs.Coturnix and she confirmed that the books stress this a lot, while the movie completely omits their intelligence. I checked the IMBD afterwards to see who all those super-beautiful actors were as only one or two seemed familiar. Apparently they all have nice long careers on TV (which I don't watch), the guy who plays Edward also plays Cedric Diggory in Harry Potter movies, the actor who plays the Dad was in a lot of B movies, and the main actress played the daughter as a kid in Panic Room which I loved (so I could not recognize her at all). Apparently, the two main actors each got $2mil for this movie, and will get $12mil for the second one. Oh, but I loved it, did I tell you that? Read the comments on this post... |

Cardiol J. 2008;15(6):572-7 Authors: Antonopoulos A, Kyriacou C Apical ballooning syndrome (ABS) is a unique acute cardiac syndrome characterized by symptoms and electrocardiographic changes that mimic acute myocardial infarction. It occurs in patients without evidence of significant obstructive coronary artery disease and is associated with transient extensive wall motion abnormalities of the apical and mid portions of the left ventricle. The onset of ABS is preceded by a stressful event, either emotional or physical in around 65% of cases. The underlying pathophysiology for ABS remains unclear; however, several mechanisms have been proposed including multivessel epicardial spasm, mi... | |||
