Thalidomide Does Not Improve Survival In Small Cell Lung Cancer: Journal Of The National Cancer Institute News Brief
Treating patients with thalidomide in combination with chemotherapy for small cell lung cancer (SCLC) did not improve their survival but did increase their risk of blood clots, according to a new study published online July 16 in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute.

University Of Central Lancashire To Deliver Nurtured Heart Workshop, UK
Residential childcare and fostering agency, Perpetual Care, and the University of Central Lancashire"s School of Nursing & Caring Sciences are jointly developing an introductory workshop on the ground-breaking Nurtured Heart Approach, which seeks to improve social and educational outcomes for many children and young people. Experts from UCLan and Perpetual are currently designing an awareness workshop, which will provide an overview of the approach, examine existing US research findings and explore its potential role in UK residential childcare and fostering, particularly in the light of revised NICE guidelines relating to children with ADHD. The first session is scheduled at UCLan"s Preston campus in late June this year and should be of interest to registered social workers, local authority placement officers and other social care and health professionals concerned with the well-being of challenging young people.

Insurance Insiders Give Views On Health Reform
In an interview with the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, Washington state Insurance Commissioner Mike Kreidler called the American health system an out-dated, World War II-era obstacle to economic progress. "We"ve been talking about health-care reform in this country for over 100 years, and its never happened," he said. However, he added, "I believe that Congress will be successful." Kreidler, a Democrat, was a member of Congress in the 1990s, when the Clinton administration attempted an overhaul. This time around, he said, "We"re still in July, and they"re making huge progress" (Pulkkinen, 8/2).

More Effective Cancer Treatment And The Migration Of Modern Man From Africa To Western Eurasia

The Collaborative Research Centre 806 "Unser Weg nach Europa: Kultur-Umwelt-Interaktion und menschliche Mobilität im Späten Quartär" (Our Road to Europe: Culture-Environment-Interaction and human Mobility in the late Quaternary) will be directed by Professor Dr. JÃørgen of the Department of Pre- and Protohistoric Archaeology. This research centre is looking at the mobility of populations in the last 190,000 years. The focus of research will be the journey of modern man from Africa to Western Eurasia and Europe, in particular. Migration processes, and the exchange of ideas, technology and culture that entails, are an important prerequisite for important developments. The centre"s main aim is to research, using scientific and archaeological methods, how human behaviour, the climate and the environment influenced important population movements. The scientists particularly want to examine the impacts that these factors have had on the actions and reactions of populations such as emigration, immigration and adaptation to new environments. Other universities and institutions are also involved the project. These include: the University of Bonn; RWTH Aachen University; Heidelberg University; the University of Duisburg-Essen as well as the Rhineland Regional Council; the Rheinisches Amt fÃør Bodendenkmalpflege (Rheinland Department for the Preservation and Care of Field Monuments) as well as the Neanderthal Museum in Mettmann. Despite there being much knowledge on the genetic processes that lead to biological immortality and the modification of cancer cells, not enough is known about the molecular processes due to which tumours are formed. The Collaborative Research Centre 832 "Molekulare Basis und Modulation der zellulären Interaktionen im Tumormikromilieu" (Molecular Basis and the Modulation of the cellular Interactions in the Tumour Micromilieu), under the direction of Professor Dr. Michael Hallek, director of the Klinik I fÃør Innere Medizin (Clinic I for Internal Medicine), will therefore be investigating the mechanisms which cause and affect interaction between cancer cells and their micromilieu. In the foreground of the research will be the investigation of molecular modifications in the architecture, differentiation and motility of cells in tumour tissue, as well as the immune composition of the milieu of clinically visible tumours. In addition to these research questions, the long-term objective of the collaborative research centre will be to investigate new target structures suitable for the development of new therapeutic and diagnostic procedures. The University of Bonn and the Max Planck Institute for Neurological Research in Cologne are also involved in the project. University of Cologne rector Professor Dr. Axel Freimuth was very pleased with the DFG"s decision, as it will promote even more important research in Cologne. University of Cologne
