Malfunctioning Mammography Machines?
By conducting a mammogram, a low-dose x-ray of the breasts, doctors can identify cancerous tumors well before a woman even feels a lump. According to the American Cancer Society, "Finding small breast cancers early by a screening mammogram greatly improves a woman"s chance for successful treatment."

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.

Campaign Reminds Doctors Of 14 August Deadline For Licensing Decision - General Medical Council (GMC), UK

Doctors are being reminded to contact the GMC with their licensing decision through an advertising campaign launched yesterday, 1 August. Adverts will appear in the medical trade press throughout the first half of August as a final push to encourage doctors to respond to the GMC. So far, over 75% of doctors have responded to the GMC with their licensing decision. This equates to more than 171,000 doctors*. However, the GMC is keen to hear from the remaining 25% of the register as some doctors, such as researchers and academics, may not require a licence to practise. Professor Peter Rubin, Chair of the GMC, asks doctors, "We know how busy you are but you need to make an important decision. If you haven"t yet told us your licensing decision, you need to do so by Friday 14 August." Doctors who have already let the GMC know their decision need do nothing more; they will receive a letter from the GMC before licensing is introduced on the 16 November 2009. The GMC recently launched the Licensing help website for doctors needing assistance making their licensing decision. Doctors can visit http://www.gmc-uk.org/licensinghelp or call 0161 923 6277 for further information. *The GMC is receiving hundreds of responses to the licensing campaign daily; since the adverts went to press, the GMC has received a further 17,000 responses GMC
