West Nile In Texas; Experimental Brain Cancer Treatment; Motor Skills of Sedentary Children

(Aug 16, 2012 - Insidermedicine)

From Texas - According to the Texas Department of State Health Services there have been over 400 confirmed cases of West Nile virus in Texas this summer, with 17 deaths.? Officials are urging residents to get rid of standing water near their homes and to use bug repellant when outdoors.

From LA - A report appearing online in Cancer Immunology, Immunotherapy describes how an experimental vaccine increased survival in patients with glioblastoma, an aggressive brain tumour. Compared with a median survival of 14.6 months in patients receiving the standard treatment of radiation and chemotherapy, those who also received the vaccine had a median survival of 38.4 months.

From Portugal - As more and more children are leading sedentary lives, it may be affecting their motor skills, according to a report in the American Journal of Human Biology. Researchers measured the physical activity of over 200 boys and girls aged 9-13 and also evaluated their motor coordination. The researchers found that the children who spent approximately three quarters of their time being sedentary, were many times less likely to have normal motor coordination than their more active peers
