Colourful River Crabs: Newly Discovered and Already Threatened by Mining Project
The island of Palawan (Philippines) is very beautiful and special. Around 50 per cent of the species living on Palawan are defined as endemic, as they are exclusively native to the island. The investigators have do a research on the biodiversity of the waters. This also included taking a closer look at the “Insulamon” crabs and we discovered four new species in the process. A reddish violet species of the “Insulamon” crab. They have discovered four new species on the island of Palawan, they want close some building projects, for investigate some importants places of the island.
The are many mining projects are underway. Changes in the environment decreasing natural habita, it can extinction cause.
Participants cooperating in theAqua Palawanaresearch project in addition to Senckenberg and the Phyllodrom Leipzig are the Ateneo de Manila University, WesternPhilippinesUniversity, De La Salle University Manila and the Philippine National Museum, as well as the Vienna Natural History Museum and the National University of Singapore.
The scientists were doing experiments with mouses. They thinks that obstruction in the duct of calcium, can is causes of two main illness. Also they were find in the last clinical proves, that the medicine called “Verapamilo” can postpone the Diabetes. Beta cells secrete insulin to control blood sugar levels, but begin to die as patients develop Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes. So far anybody had noticed that because of the obtruccions in the ducts of calcium, betas cells die. Recent studies also have suggested that lowering TXNIP levels in the heart lessens the damage caused by a heart attack.
The team of the UAB will join with Southern Research Institute and the Alabama Drug Discovery Alliance, for double people. People that help discover more experiments about people with Diabetes.
PROVES:
In diabetic, verapamil treatment maintained normal glucose level, while glucose spiked in control mice. This was accompanied by an 80 percent reduction in TXNIP levels in isolated islets of verapamil-treated animals. . The results also suggest that the drug can stop diabetes in mice with longstanding disease and is most effective when given early. "The debate now should begin as to whether physicians should consider verapamil an additional treatment to protect beta cells in patients with both hypertension and diabetes”.
Analysis of the INVEST trial revealed that newly diagnosed diabetes was less common in patients treated with verapamil, especially in the Hispanic population.

After 4 weeks, foolowed with great force the shelling. 20.000 civilians and a doctor have been trapped in the district. During this time, they do a makeshift hospital. A Red Cross relief convoy was poised to enter the battered Baba Amr neighbourhood of the Syrian city of Homs. The UN rights body appealed to Syria to respect international law after receiving unconfirmed reports of 17 "grisly" executions as regime forces took control of Baba Amr. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said another 10 people were shot dead in Baba Amr on Friday, but its head, Rami Abdel Rahman, added: "The circumstances of their deaths are not clear."
"What is going on is scandalous, there are more than 8,000 dead, hundreds of children, and the city of Homs faces the risk of being wiped off the map," French PFollowing 27 straight days of relentless shelling that has made the neighbourhood an icon of the more than 11-month uprising against Assad's regime. Other parts of Homs, including the Khaldiyeh, Bayyada, Bab Sbaa and Hamidiyeh neighbourhoods, remain in the hands of the "terrorists" and still have to be "dealt with," a security source in Damascus told AFP.

"Our aim is not to help one of the sides not the Syrian authorities nor the armed opposition but to obtain an all-round reconciliation," he said in comments published on the government website Friday. "We have no special relationship with Syria," he added.
JAK Inhibition with Ruxolitinib versus Best Available Therapy for Myelofibrosis
There are few treatments to cure myelofibrosis. Thanks to the studies, we evaluated the efficacy and safety of ruxolitinib, a potent and selective Janus kinase (JAK) 1 and 2 inhibitor, as compared with the best available therapy, in patients with myelofibrosis.
They even used some methods. We assigned 219 patients with intermediate-2 or high-risk primary myelofibrosis, post–polycythemia vera myelofibrosis, or post–essential thrombocythemia myelofibrosis to receive oral ruxolitinib or the best available therapy. The primary end point and key secondary end point of the study were the percentage of patients with at least a 35% reduction in spleen volume at week 48 and at week 24, respectively, as assessed with the use of magnetic resonance imaging or computed tomography.
The results of the proves are: A total of 28% of the patients in the ruxolitinib group had at least a 35% reduction in spleen volume at week 48, as compared with 0% in the group receiving the best available therapy(P<0.001); the corresponding percentages at week 24 were 32% and 0% (P<0.001). At 48 weeks, the mean palpable spleen length had decreased by 56% with ruxolitinib but had increased by 4% with the best available therapy. The median duration of response with ruxolitinib was not reached, with 80% of patients still having a response at a median follow-up of 12 months. Patients in the ruxolitinib group had an improvement in overall quality-of-life measures and a reduction in symptoms associated with myelofibrosis. With these treatments there were some side effects, but it’s easy to cure or eliminate.
In conclusion, doctors and scientists have to investigate further to find 99% effective treatment.
In the middle of the Pacific has been a great intensity earthquake the earthquake of Pacific has caused a tsunami in island that of Japan. The waves have become ten feet, these waves have harassed until six miles (ten kilometers). The boats of ports have been destroyed and the peoples, crops and alot people have died.
