NATURE | Raccoon Nation | Living For the City | PBS
The raccoon's intelligence, adaptable nature, and omnivorous diet all help the species thrive in urban landscapes. When the lights go down in cities across North America, another world is revealed, populated by shady little characters that live alongside us, but exist in the margins. These pint-size problem solvers are smart, adaptable and omnivorous, and they love a good challenge. Welcome to the world of urban raccoons. With their busy little hands, they can do what other would-be urban animals can't %mdash open doors, get into attics, and raid secured trash cans. And they are especially fond of big cities, like Chicago, New York, and Toronto %mdash the raccoon capital of the world. In cities everywhere, wherever they've been introduced, they have done very, very well. It seems that the more obstacles you throw in their way, the smarter they get. In an effort to outwit raccoons, we may be pushing their brain development and perhaps even sending them down a new evolutionary path. One biologist who has been studying raccoons for 25 years believes the city life is in fact cultivating "%uumlber-raccoons," ready to take over the world. Only time will tell just how advanced this "nation" of urban raccoons will become. "Raccoon Nation" premieres on PBS Wednesday, February 8, 2012 at 8/7c (check local listings) and is part of the 30th season of the Peabody and Emmy award-winning series produced by Thirteen in association with WNET.ORG for PBS.

(December 19, 2011 - Insidermedicine)
From Spain - High levels of nickel and selenium in the body may reduce risk of pancreatic cancer, according to a report published in Gut . Studying over 100 pancreatic cancer patients and nearly 400 controls, researchers found that those who had the highest bodily levels of nickel and selenium were 33-95% less likely to develop pancreatic cancer.
From Chicago - Blood pressure changes during middle age can affect risk of heart disease, according to a report published in Circulation . Researchers studied data on nearly 62,000 individuals, finding that those who maintained or reduced their blood pressure to normal levels by age 55 had the lowest risk of developing heart disease, while those who already had hypertension by age 55 had up to 69% increased risk.
And finally, from Italy - Eating less may protect the brain from aging, according to a report published in PNAS . Studying mice, researchers found that a low calorie diet activates the molecule CREB1, and that this molecule consequently triggers other genes that keep the brain functioning properly

Stroke Video: Optimism May Decrease Risk of Stroke, Breastfeeding Reduces Risk of Asthma in Children, Atherosclerosis' Association With Cognitive Impairment
[LESS INFO] 20 VIEWS | ADDED 23:00:00 07/21/11
(July 21, 2011 - Insidermedicine)
From Michigan - Optimists may be at reduced risk of stroke, according to a report published in Stroke. Studying over 6000 adults over the age of 50 for two years, researchers found that each one point increase in an optimism scale reduced an individual's risk of stroke by 9%.
From the Netherlands - Breastfeeding may lower risk of children developing asthma, according to a report published in the European Respiratory Journal. Researchers examined data on more than 5000 children, finding that those who were never fed breast milk had 1.4x increased risk of wheezing and 1.5x increased risk of persistent phlegm, when compared to children who were only fed breast milk for up to 6 months.
And finally, from Chicago - Atherosclerosis is also associated with dementia, according to a scientific statement published in Stroke . Researchers found that plaque build-up in the arteries can reduce blood flow to the brain, causing cerebrovascular disease and vascular cognitive impairment. Researchers believe this dementia may be the most common form seen in older individuals.

From Chicago - Nicotine has a similar initial impact on the brain as cocaine, according to a report published in the Journal of Neuroscience . Results of an animal study found that a single 15 minute exposure to nicotine increased the activity of neurons involved in reward and memory, resulting in long term changes in the brain.
From the UK - A drug used to treat HIV may also prevent cervical cancer, according to a report published in Antiviral Therapy . Laboratory tests revealed that the HIV drug lopinavir kills cells infected by the human papilloma virus (HPV) consequently reducing risk of cervical cancer.
And finally, from Sweden - A new report published in the New England Journal of Medicine finds that younger men with prostate cancer are more likely to survive if they undergo surgery. Studying nearly 700 prostate cancer patients, researchers found that those who were under 65 years of age were significantly less likely to die of the disease if they underwent a prostatectomy

Results of an animal study found that a single 15 minute exposure to nicotine increased the activity of neurons involved in reward and memory, resulting in long term changes in the brain.
From Philadelphia - A new report published in JAMA finds a decrease in the amount of coronary artery bypass surgeries. From 2001-2008, researchers found that annual CABG rates dropped by 38%, while PCI rates remained unchanged. These numbers point to a fundamental shift in how coronary artery disease is being treated.
And finally, from Toronto - Breast cancers diagnosed between mammograms are more likely to be aggressive, according to a report published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute. Studying over 300 women, researchers found that those with breast cancers found in between mammograms were more likely to gave aggressive, fast growing tumors.
