Ancient Aliens Season 3 Ep: 2 "Aliens and Monsters"
"Aliens and Monsters" - August 4, 2011 This episode examines modern-day genetic engineering, cloning and hybridization technology, and suggests that such technology could have been used by ancient aliens in the past to manipulate mankind and the environment. Also theorized are that the legends of creatures, such as the Chimera and Hydra, and humanoids, such as the Minotaur and Medusa, may have been encounters with beings created through alien animal/human hybrid experimentation.From:KingdomofTruthTVViews:0 0ratingsTime:43:58More inScience Technology

SAN DIEGO, Nov. 21, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --Sequenom, Inc. (SQNM), a life sciences company providing innovative diagnostic testing and genetic analysis solutions, today announced that the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) Committee on Genetics and the Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine (SMFM) Publications Committee issued a joint Committee Opinion on November 20, 2012, recommending that cell-free fetal DNA testing be offered to patients at increased risk of aneuploidy. It can also be used as a follow-up test for women with a positive first-trimester or second-trimester screening test result.

Previously, the ACOG recommended that women, regardless of maternal age, be offered prenatal assessment for aneuploidy by screening or invasive prenatal diagnosis. The ACOG Committee on Genetics and the SMFM Publications Committee now recommend that women at increased risk of aneuploidy be offered cell-free fetal DNA as an option that can be used as a primary screening test based on the following indications:

The Committee Opinion also recommended that "cell-free fetal DNA testing should not be offered to low-risk women or women with multiple gestations because it has not been sufficiently evaluated in these groups." Further, the Committee Opinion stated that "pre-test counseling should be an informed patient choice after pre-test counseling and should not be part of routine prenatal laboratory assessment. A patient with a positive test result should be referred for genetic counseling and offered invasive prenatal diagnosis for confirmation of test results."

"The issuance of the ACOG/SMFM opinion on the use of cell-free fetal DNA testing represents a major step forward for the integration of this valuable technology into pregnancy care programs" said Allan Bombard, MD, Sequenom's Chief Medical Officer. "We fully support the indications for considering the use of cell-free fetal DNA outlined in the Committee Opinion and believe this will be a valuable tool to help guide physicians and their patients in the most appropriate prenatal care."

ACOG is the nation's leading group of physicians providing health care for women. The College strongly advocates for quality health care for women, maintains the highest standards of clinical practice and continuing education of its members, promotes patient education, and increases awareness among its members and the public of the changing issues facing women's health care.

SMFM is a non-profit membership group for obstetricians/gynecologists who have additional formal education and training in maternal-fetal medicine. The society is devoted to reducing high-risk pregnancy complications by providing continuing education to its 2,000 members on the latest pregnancy assessment and treatment methods. It also serves as an advocate for improving public policy, and expanding research funding and opportunities for maternal-fetal medicine.

The full text of the Committee Opinion can be found at: Noninvasive prenatal testing for fetal aneuploidy. Committee Opinion No. 545. American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists. Obstet Gynecol 2012: 120:1532-4.

About the MaterniT21 PLUS Test

The MaterniT21 PLUS test analyzes the relative amount of 21, 18, 13 and Y chromosomal material in cell-free DNA. The test is intended for use in pregnant women at increased risk for fetal aneuploidy and can be used as early as 10 weeks gestation. Estimates suggest there are about 750,000 pregnancies at high risk for fetal aneuploidy each year in the United States. The MaterniT21 PLUS test is available exclusively through the Sequenom Center for Molecular Medicine (Sequenom CMM) as a testing service provided to physicians.

Newswise Researchers at Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine have identified a genetic factor that prevents blockages from forming in blood vessels, a discovery that could lead to new therapies for cardiovascular diseases.

The findings are described in the Nov. 19 issue of the Journal of Clinical Investigation.

Researchers led by Mukesh K. Jain, MD, FAHA, professor of medicine, Ellery Sedgwick Jr. Chair and director of Case Cardiovascular Research Institute at Case Western Reserve School of Medicine, found that a shortage of the genetic factor KLF4, which regulates endothelial cells lining the interior of blood vessels, makes the lining more prone to the buildup of harmful plaque and fat deposits. In addition they showed that the deficiency of KLF4 also made the blood vessel more susceptible to clot formation. The plaque buildup (called atherosclerosis) narrows vessels and provides the foundation for clot formation (called thrombosis) that leads to heart attack and stroke.

Conversely, sufficient levels of KLF4, protect the inner lining of blood vessels, from toxins and other harmful agents that trigger the buildup of plaque and clot formation.

This research answers a fundamental question in blood vessel health, identifying KLF4 as a master regulator of the most cardinal functions of endothelial cells, says Jain, who is also chief research officer of Harrington Heart & Vascular Institute at University Hospitals Case Medical Center.

The fact that the level of these genetic factors can be altered in human disease suggests that targeting them may be a viable therapeutic strategy, Jain says.

The researchers are now developing tools to identify small molecules that increase KLF4 levels. Long-term, the goal is to identify a new class of molecules to develop a drug that works with those already used to treat heart disease. Another possibility is to modify existing drugs that can boost KLFs levels.

It is possible, Jain says, that chemical modification of the current statins will create super-statins that are more potent at inducing KLF levels, providing additional benefit.

Studies have shown that the earliest lesions of atherosclerosis typically begin at points where blood vessels branch out to different parts of the body, such as the brain, heart and legs.

Researchers hypothesized that mechanical forces may irritate the lining at these intersections, making them more prone to atherosclerosis than straighter lengths of the vessel system. In addition, toxins and harmful cytokines cell secretions that can trigger inflammation - can further injure the endothelium and speed the development of disease.

A startup called GenePeeks will identify recessive diseases that could show up in children of sperm-bank clients and donors.

Within the next year, women choosing a sperm donor may be able to use a genetic-analysis service that identifies those with DNA that could cause disease if combined with their own.

Sperm donors are already screened for a handful of genetic conditions, and recipients can choose between donors based on qualities such as height, athleticism, and education. A more detailed analysis of how donor DNA would combine with the recipients DNA would be the next step.

A company called GenePeeks will use DNA-scanning microarrays, which are cheaper to use than whole-genome sequencing, to examine the roughly 250,000 DNA bases in the genomes of sperm-bank clients and donors. The company will then use what's known about how DNA is mixed and divided during egg and sperm formation to compute thousands of virtual child genomes. Each of these virtual genomes will then be analyzed for disease risks. Donors that produced virtual babies that inherited a genetic disease can then be excluded.

GenePeeks is about six months away from launching its service and will soon announce its initial partner sperm bank, says CEO Anne Morriss.

Today, sperm banks screen potential donors for certain genetic conditions depending on their ethnic background, and all donors are screened for a defective copy of the cystic fibrosis gene. One damaged copy is not enough to affect the offspring (the child would be a carrier of the disease, but would not suffer from it), but if two copies are passed onone from a donor, one from the motherthen the child will have the chronic and often fatal disease.

GenePeeks will also scan for thousands of other disease risks that are caused by two defective copies of a single gene.

The inspiration for the company came from Morrisss own experience with sperm donation. Her son, Alec, was born using donor sperm, and he suffers from a genetic condition that prevents his body from converting fats to energy, which can lead to coma, seizures, and sudden death. No one in Morrisss family had ever had the condition, but she carries one defective copy and, by chance, she picked a donor who was also a carrier.

"The thing I think about every single day is essentially Alecs disease was preventable," says Morriss. So she and Princeton geneticist Lee Silver cofounded GenePeeks, which will use Silver's proprietary algorithms to compute thousands of virtual child genomes. Each of these virtual genomes can then be checked for disease risk. "We want to make sure that we reduce the number of kids that have to pay that price," says Morriss. "We are at a place as a species that we can do this."

The idea is not to find the perfect match for a sperm-bank client, but to rule out potentially risky matches. So instead of a list of 300 potential donors to choose from, a woman who uses GenePeeks's service may be choosing from a pool of 250, says Silver. "We arent telling her what to choose, but if she wants to, she can avoid certain donors," he says.

New Lifeform-Transhumanis In the first half of the show, the surprising scientific announcement about the discovery of an arsenic eating life form in Mono Lake, CA was discussed. After a brief report from Linda Moulton Howe, with audio from NASA astrobiologist Pamela Conrad, space researcher Robert Zimmerman joined the program. He characterized the Mono Lake microbe as an extremophile-- an organism that thrives in conditions that would be detrimental or impossible to survive for most other life forms. Also of interest was the journalistic hype that surrounded the pre-release of the story, he commented, with too much speculation and misinformation being spread by reporters. For more, see Zimmerman #39;s blog entry, When journalism runs wild. In the second hour, Richard C.

A colic baby is a newborn that suffers from an attack of crying from what appears to be intestinal pain. It is a fairly common condition and affects roughly 20% of babies. All infants cry when they are hungry, tired, hot or cold, or because of a dirty diaper. It is the only way for them to communicate their needs to us. Unfortunately, colicky babies also cry sometimes even after being cleaned, fed and warm cozy. Your may have a colic baby if he or she appears to be healthy but still suffers from frequent inconsolable crying. If this is the case, you need to seek relief for your loved one. Roughly 20% of newborns are colic babies. Most experts believe that it is not the result of genetics, pregnancy or childbirth issues. Some of the possible causes of a colicky baby are overstimulated senses, Infant acid reflux, immature digestive system (having difficulties digesting certain foods), food allergies/sensitivity and maternal smoking. This ailment is episodic. It can be irritated by improper diaper changing techniques, overfeeding and emotional stress. Doing research is always great but it is important that you consult a doctor to seek treatment if you suspect colic in a newborn.

Earnings momentum for Myriad Genetics (MYGN) has been on the rise ever since this molecular diagnostic company released strong fiscal first-quarter results earlier this month that included an upbeat guidance. Shares of this Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) have also advanced and reached a 52-week high of $30.48 on November 14. With a robust portfolio, a strong earnings surprise history, increased guidance and a year-to-date return of 45.7%, Myriad Genetics offers an attractive investment opportunity. Excellent Quarter On November 5, Myriad Genetics reported fiscal first-quarter earnings per share of 36 cents, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 12.5% and the year-ago earnings by 24%. The company has now delivered positive earnings surprises for 7 straight quarters with an average beat of 9.1%. Revenues increased 21% year over year to $133.4 million, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $130.0 million. Myriad's two businesses - Molecular diagnostic testing and Companion diagnostic services - recorded revenues of $127.3 million (up 22% year over year) and $6.2 million (down 4.6%), respectively. The company's flagship product, Bracanalysis (representing 78.7% of total revenues during the quarter), has been growing robustly over the past few quarters on the back of increasing penetration in both the Oncology and Women's Health markets. In the last reported quarter, this product recorded a 17% jump in revenues to $105 million. In addition, revenues derived from Colaris and Colaris AP, which assess a patient's risk of developing hereditary colorectal and uterine cancers, increased 26% to $12.1 million. Moreover, the company is enjoying a strong and diversified pipeline across six major medical specialties. In the last earnings call, Myriad's announcement of its expected launch of molecular diagnostic test Melapath in 2013 has acted as another impetus in driving the share price higher. Melapath is expected to play a ground-breaking role in determining whether a skin biopsy is malignant or benign. The company is confident about the potential of Melapath, which has achieved 95% accuracy in predicting which suspicious skin lesions are malignant and has an anticipated market opportunity of $400 million a year in the US. Furthermore, the company has progressed in receiving reimbursements for the BART (Brac Analysis Large Rearrangement Technology) test. The Noridian Administrative Services announced that Medicare would reimburse the test for patients with a personal history of breast or ovarian cancer from October 1, 2012 onwards. Myriad has already started receiving huge number of testing requests. Upbeat Guidance Myriad Genetics raised its outlook for fiscal 2013. The company now expects revenues between $570 million and $585 million (previous guidance was $550-$565 million), reflecting growth of 15-18%. The raised guidance is primarily based on an improved outlook for the Molecular Diagnostics segment, which is expected to gross $545 million to $557 million in the fiscal year. The guidance for the Companion diagnostic remained unchanged at $25 million to $28 million. Earnings per share for the fiscal year is likely to be in a range of $1.50 to $1.55, up from the previous range of $1.44-$1.48. Rising Earnings Estimates Over the past 30 days, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for 2012 has gained 5.4% to $1.55 per share, thanks to upward revisions from all 13 estimates. This represents year-over-year growth of about 18.9%. Meanwhile, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for 2013 is up 4.7% to $1.77 on positive revisions from 12 of 13 estimates. This indicates growth of about 14.7% year over year. Chart Reflects Strength Myriad's price performance has been reasonably strong with the chart showing an upward trend. Following the release of its first quarter results, the stock showed a steep uptrend and is currently trading above both its 50- and 200-day averages. A series of earnings beats, rising estimates and upbeat growth prospects make Myriad worth considering as a momentum stock. Headquartered in Salt Lake City, Utah, Myriad Genetics employs a number of proprietary technologies to target the genetic basis of human diseases and the role these genes might play in the onset, progression and treatment of the respective diseases. So far, Myriad has launched nine commercial molecular diagnostic products, including five predictive medicine (designed to assess an individual's risk for developing a disease later in life), three personalized medicine (identification of a patient's probability of responding to drug therapy) and one prognostic medicine (assess a patient's risk of disease progression and recurrence) product.
