Namibia Close To Reaching Some MDGs
Namibia"s recently released second MDG Report 2008 finds that the country is making progress toward achieving some of the U.N. Millennium Development Goal (MDG) targets. However, the Prime Minister says the global economic situation could reverse progress and notes that the country is behind on some health-related targets, New Era reports.

Linking Genes, Brain, And Behavior In Children
It comes as no surprise that some babies are more difficult to soothe than others but frustrated parents may be relieved to know that this is not necessarily an indication of their parenting skills. According to a new report in Psychological Science, a journal of the Association for Psychological Science, children"s temperament may be due in part to a combination of a certain gene and a specific pattern of brain activity.

Brain Activity Stablilized By Dynamic Molecular Mechanism
In the brain, many types of synaptic proteins are spatio-temporally regulated to maintain synaptic activity at a constant level. Here, the Japanese research group led by Professor Masaki Fukata, Drs. Yuko Fukata and Jun Noritake in National Institute for Physiological Sciences, Japan, found that two types of palmitoylating enzymes finely-tune the location and function of a major synaptic protein, PSD-95, in different ways. They also found that this mechanism contributes to keeping synaptic activity stable when synaptic activity dynamically changes. The Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST) supported this study. They report the finding in Journal of Cell Biology published on July 13, 2009.

Volunteers Needed For Chocolate Compound Study - Diabetes UK

Volunteers are needed for the final phase of a Diabetes UK-funded study investigating whether flavonoids - compounds found in chocolate - can protect older women with diabetes from heart disease. The first group of volunteers, recruited last April, have already been eating specially formulated chocolate twice a day for a year. Now researchers at the University of East Anglia need 40 more women to take part in the study. Eating chocolate every day Participants will be required to eat a small amount of chocolate everyday for one year and have their risk of heart disease tested on five occasions to see whether changes occur. This will involve giving blood and urine samples, having an ultrasound scan of their arteries and filling in questionnaires about their lifestyle. These tests will take place in Norwich, at either UEA or NNUH, and travel expenses will be reimbursed up to a distance of 60 miles round-trip. Heart disease risk higher in women The risk of death from coronary heart disease associated with Type 2 diabetes is about 50 per cent greater in women than it is in men. Research suggests that although statin therapy can reduce the risk of heart disease, foods like cocoa and soy which contain flavonoids, can offer further protection from the disease. It is hoped the trial will pave the way for a larger clinical study to examine the subject in more detail. Diabetes UK warns that people must not consume vast quantities of chocolate. "We certainly don"t advise people to start eating a lot of chocolate as it"s very high in sugar and fat", said Dr Iain Frame, Director of Research at Diabetes UK. "We would always recommend that people with diabetes eat a diet low in fat, salt and sugar with plenty of fruit and vegetables. "However, there are compounds found in chocolate, called flavonoids, that are thought to provide some protection from heart disease. Diabetes UK is funding this trial to establish whether flavonoids can protect the heart in older women with diabetes who are five times more likely to develop heart disease than women without diabetes. A successful outcome of this research would hopefully mean being able to offer people at high risk better protection over and above that provided by conventional drugs." Diabetes UK
