The Japanese Space Agency (JAXA) has sent an aquarium to the International Space Station. Its not for relaxation, mind: the fish tank will be used to see how microgravity impacts marine life, including a transparent fish.
First up, researchers plan to examine the Medaka (Oryzias latipes) fish, and look at the impacts of radiation, bone degradation, muscle atrophy, and developmental biology.
Medaka is a perfect specimen for research: the astronauts can see their organs through their transparent skin and they breed quickly in microgravity environments. Plus, the animals genome has already been fully sequenced, so it will be easy to recognise changes to the fishs genes.
Water habitats have been launched into space before, but this AQH facility will feature an improved water circulation system that monitors water conditions and removes waste, while ensuring proper pressure and oxygen flow rates.
The special bacteria filter purifies waste materials, such as ammonia, so that we can keep fish for up to 90 days, said Nobuyoshi Fujimoto, an engineer at Jaxa. This capability will make it possible for egg-to-egg breeding aboard station, which means up to three generations may be born in orbit. This would be a first for fish in space.
While the currently planned investigations only use fish, the air-water design of the facility means it could potentially house amphibians. Thats right: space frogs.

If NASA's Curiosity Mars rover successfully lands on Sunday, it will use a neutron detector to scan for hydrogen below the Red Planet's surface.
NASA's newest Mars rover, Curiosity, has a tall task ahead of itself when it lands Aug. 6 on the Red Planet.

The rover, part of the $2.5 billion Mars Science Laboratory mission, will aim to search for signs that Mars is, or ever was, habitable. Since one of the key requirements of habitability is thought to be the presence of liquid water, Curiosity will seek signs of water buried beneath the Martian surface.
To do this, the rover will shove neutrons underneath the planet's surface in hopes that the particles bump against hydrogen, one of the two types of atoms that make up water molecules. Neutrons are subatomic particles that have no electrical charge. When a neutron hits a hydrogen atom, the neutron will slow to a near-stop because the two particles are about the same size.
The goal is in about 20 minutes of pulsing and returning and detecting the signal, [the rover] can build up a fairly good understanding of how much water there is below the surface, said Ashwin Vasavada, MSL's deputy project scientist. [11 Amazing Things NASA's Huge Mars Rover Can Do]
Neutrons have already been used on Mars to find what are believed to be ice reservoirs. In 2002, a high-energy neutron detector aboard the orbiting Mars Odyssey spacecraft found robust evidence of hydrogen on the higher latitudes of the Red Planet, lurking just underneath the surface.
From space, it's much easier to use neutrons to seek out water because high above a planet, there are many neutrons, Vasavada said. Closer to the surface, neutrons are so few and far between that MSL must carry its own artificial neutron generator.
Provided by the Russian Federal Space Agency, the Dynamic Albedo of Neutrons (DAN) experiment onboard Curiosity will blast 10 million neutrons into the surface with every pulse. These pulses will only take an instant: typically one microsecond, or a millionth of a second. Curiosity can send these pulses out up to 10 times per second.

1. Task Force Recommends Against Screening ECG for Asymptomatic Adults at Low Risk for Coronary Heart Disease
Coronary heart disease (CHD) is the leading cause of death in the United States for both men and women. Certain physical and lifestyle characteristics increase risk for CHD, yet some low-risk patients may suffer a CHD event without warning. Electrocardiogram (ECG) can detect abnormalities that may predict a future CHD event. However, in 2004, the United Sates Preventive Services Task Force found a lack of evidence that ECG screening in asymptomatic, low-risk adults improves health outcomes. Subsequently the Task Force recommended against routine ECG screening for asymptomatic adults at low risk for CHD. To update its previous recommendation, the Task Force reviewed new research published since its 2004 recommendation to compare the benefits and harms of screening asymptomatic adults with ECG with no screening at reducing the risk for CHD events. The researchers also looked at how identifying high-risk individuals affected treatment to reduce risk, and the accuracy of risk-stratification. The Task Force found that while ECG could detect abnormalities that are associated with an increased risk for a serious CHD event, screening asymptomatic, low-risk adults was highly unlikely to result in changes in risk stratification that would prompt interventions that would eventually reduce CHD events. The Task Force found adequate evidence that screening this population leads to at least small harms such as unnecessary invasive procedures, overtreatment, and labeling. Therefore, the Task Force continues to recommend against screening ECG for asymptomatic, low-risk adults.
2. Government Agency Identifies Future Research Needs to Improve Health Care Practice
The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) Evidence-based Practice Center (EPC) Program is an ongoing, federally-funded initiative to develop evidence reports and technology assessments on health care topics that affect a large portion of the population. Topics for research are nominated by non-federal partners such as professional societies, health plans, insurers, employers, and patient groups. Subsequently, clinical guidelines and recommendations are developed with the goal of helping patients, clinicians, payers, and policy makers make good health care decisions that are based on reliable evidence. At times, there are gaps in the research that prevent systematic reviewers from answering central questions. These gaps may include insufficient studies on sub-populations, insufficient studies with appropriate comparators, lack of appropriate outcomes measured, and/or methods problems. Using five principles developed to guide a research agenda setting process, the AHRQ EPC program identified several topic areas where future research is needed. These include gestational diabetes; integration of mental health/substance abuse in primary care; reducing the risk for primary breast cancer; clinically localized prostate cancer; and ADHD, among other common or costly health care issues.* According to the author, the AHRQ hopes that this approach to assessing the need for future research will help other groups interested in engaging stakeholders in prioritizing research.

3. The Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute Announces Funding for Upcoming Projects
The Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute, or PCORI, advocates for the role of patients in research and considers the importance of their perspective in the development of research programs. With funds from the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, PCORI will invest $3 billion between now and 2019 in research intended to improve health care decision-making. As part of PCORI's National Priorities, it will award $96 million for proposals of comparative effectiveness research in the areas of prevention, diagnosis, and treatment options for patients; improvements of health care systems; communication and dissemination research; and disparity reduction or elimination strategies. According to PCORI leaders, patient-centered research should focus on areas that will directly affect patients and their caregivers, resulting in greater understanding of their conditions, the benefits and harms of treatments available to them, and how to get the best care. PCORI funding announcements are communicated in a way that promotes collaboration. Four key concepts guide PCORI in its effort to support patient-centered research. According to the authors, PCORI uses research to inform, not dictate decisions; it calls for applications through grassroots efforts; it considers patients to be partners in the research, and not just subjects; and it is dedicated to the dissemination, adoption, and successful application of the research as well as promotion of the strongest science.

Annals of Internal Medicine tip sheet for July 31, 2012 online issue
Dr. John Marx devoted his life to emergency medicine.
He once wrote that he felt proud and lucky to help people in that terrible moment in their life when they havent expected to wake up in the morning and have their wife die or have their child severely injured or paralyzed in a car crash.
His own unexpected death came in a much different way.
Marx, who spent 20 years as chairman of emergency medicine at Carolinas Medical Center, died at home in his sleep on July 1. He was 62, with no known health problems.
Karin Marx said she and her two sons had gone for groceries while her husband took a nap that Sunday afternoon. When they returned, she could tell right away that something was wrong. He could not be revived.
He was the love of my life, she said. We were kind of gearing down to retire. We wanted to travel and do things together.
A private memorial service was held in the Marx front yard, in keeping with the doctors personality. He never wanted the spotlight to shine on himself, said Dr. Michael Gibbs, his successor at CMC.
The service drew leaders in emergency medicine from across the country, including Dr. Peter Rosen, one of the founders of emergency medicine as a specialty.
Marx had worked with Rosen at Denver Health Medical Center before moving to Charlotte. Rosen, founding editor of Rosens Emergency Medicine, the leading textbook, had chosen Marx to succeed him as editor-in-chief several years ago.
In 1991, when emergency medicine was still a new specialty, CMC recruited Marx from Denver, which had the premiere residency program at the time, said Dr. Lee Garvey, director of emergency cardiac care at CMC.

Pfizer Inc., the worlds largest pharmaceutical company, has a storied history of hunting for blockbuster drugs in its own labs. These days it is also hunting for collaborations with outside physician-scientists who could help it develop cures for diseases ranging from lung cancer to osteoporosis.
A natural habitat of this breed doctors who treat patients, teach at academic medical centers, and run government-funded research labs is Bostons Longwood Medical Area, home to Harvard Medical School and a cluster of its famous teaching hospitals. Thats where Pfizers new Centers for Therapeutic Innovation has established its worldwide headquarters.
The drug giant is betting it can bring more treatments to market by working with academic researchers in medical hubs like Boston. It also has set up satellite centers in New York, San Francisco, and La Jolla, Calif., outside San Diego, to strike alliances in those areas. Overall, Pfizer is committing up to $100 million to such collaborations over the next five years.
Were trying to change biomedical research globally, said Pfizers Jose-Carlos J.C. Gutierrez-Ramos in an interview from the companys perch on the top floor of a new glass-faced office tower at 3 Blackfan Circle. The old model is not efficient for us or for the academic medical centers, said Gutierrez-Ramos, who is Pfizers senior vice president and head of biotherapeutics research and development.
Other companies also are eager to share the costs and risks of developing new drugs with partners in the Boston area. Novartis AG, Sanofi SA, and Merck & Co. are among the global drug makers accelerating their partnering moves in the region.
Earlier this month Sanofi, which raised its profile by buying Cambridge-based biotech Genzyme Corp., entered into a diabetes research deal with Harvard-affiliated Brigham and Womens Hospital.
Boston is without a doubt number one for pharmas trying to cash in on the hope of a mother lode from academic drug research, said Kevin J. Gorman, managing partner at a Burlington life sciences consulting firm, Putnam Associates. Theyre placing bets on the roulette table. But its also a reflection that the internal efforts of the pharmas havent been terribly productive.
While each companys approach is different Novartis is codeveloping drugs with biotechs, while Sanofi is investing in life sciences start-ups Pfizers strategy may represent the most dramatic departure from its traditional research and development methods. The company signaled its intentions 17 months ago with the announcement it would move neuroscience and cardiovascular metabolic research operations to Cambridge from a sprawling campus in Groton, Conn.
Pfizers old business model involved either taking experimental treatments from the labs to the market by itself or buying companies that already had promising drug candidates. Both approaches were expensive generating fewer successes and alienating investors at a time when some of the companys best-selling products were losing their patent protection. That meant more competition from lower-cost generics.
Now, New York-based Pfizer is making fewer acquisitions and doing less early-stage research. Instead it is piggybacking more on the work of physician-scientists from other organizations. It is collaborating with Dr. Markus Frank at Harvard-affiliated Boston Childrens Hospital, for example, on a stem cell treatment for malignant melanoma. Pfizer also is partnering with Dr. David Salant at Boston Medical Center, a Boston University hospital, on a kidney disease therapy.

While medical school is extremely demanding, that doesn't mean students can't juggle school requirements with outside interests. Medical schools frequently offer opportunities to help out in free clinics in the community, or even travel overseas before starting clinical rotations.

LAS VEGAS, July 30, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- First Liberty Power Corp. (FLPC) (the "Company") is pleased to announce the results for the next phase of the exploration on the Company's Smoky Valley Property ("SV Claims"). A gravity survey organized by GeoXplor Corp and recently completed by Hasbrouck Geophysics has produced several positive outcomes.
A total of 116 separate gravity stations were acquired along seven profiles, and interpretation of the modeled gravity data indicates there is a large topographic low, or basin, that looks to be closed off to the south but so far remains open to the north. This large extensive basin area appears to indicate the potential accumulation of lithium-bearing brines, which will be the focus of the Company's next stage of exploration work.
To further define the indicated basin closure, the Company's existing gravity survey will be extended slightly to the west and east and one additional line will be undertaken one kilometer south. Further, a minimum of two additional lines will be taken to the north, separated by one kilometer each, to better determine northern basin closure. Immediately subsequent to the completion of this supplemental gravity survey work, the survey team will begin controlled-source audio-magnetotellurics / magnetotellurics (CSAMT/MT) surveys which will be conducted in selected areas based on the gravity survey conclusions. The CSAMT/MT surveys are used to determine if conductive zones indicative of lithium-bearing brines are present and, if so, to map the dip and continuity of those aquifer beds.
Don Nicholson, CEO and President of First Liberty Power Corp., commented, "I am very pleased with the encouraging exploration results on the SV Claims, which to date are validating our expectation that both Lida Valley and Smoky Valley are very prospective for having a significant lithium brine resources. GeoXplor Corp. and Jim Hasbrouck have previously completed significant amounts of work for us on our Lida Valley property, and with their extensive regional knowledge, the Company is very confident in achieving equally positive outcomes for Smoky Valley. As CEO, I am in constant communication with the exploration team and the Board of Directors of First Liberty Power Corp. with a focus and determination to provide timely updates to shareholders as the Company's as exploration program advances through its planned stages."
The SV Claims are located approximately 5 miles northwest of the Chemetall Foote (now Rockwood Lithium) operation in Silver Peak, Nevada, which is the only producing lithium brine operation in North America. In the 1970's the US Geological Survey ("USGS") conducted a gravity survey covering Clayton Valley and the valley connecting Clayton Valley to Big Smoky, where the SV Claims are located. The USGS survey map demonstrated a noticeable relationship between the brine field in Clayton Valley and the deepest parts of the Smoky Valley. The map proposed to the surveyors that there is a height of bedrock between the SV Claims and Clayton Valley which could act as a barrier for water moving from Big Smoky Valley to Clayton Valley.

Foreshadowing photo?
Months before Kristen Stewart was caught kissing her Snow White and the Huntsman director Rupert Sanders by photographers in L.A. on July 17, the actress posed alongside his wife, Liberty Ross, on the red carpet of the blockbuster's London premiere May 14.
PHOTOS: Kristen cheats on Rob with Rupert: All the shocking photos!
In one pic taken at Empire Leicester Square, British model Ross, 33, who played the mother of a younger version of Stewart's Snow White in the film, appears to holds hands with Stewart, 22. Ross hugs Charlize Theron, who is standing between the two women, and smiles at the camera while also reaching over to Stewart. The Twilight actress, standing on the other side of Theron and next to her costar Lily Cole, stares back at Ross with a slight smile.
"This is the photo of the ultimate betrayal," body language expert Dr. Lillian Glass tells Us Weekly of the compelling snapshot. "[Kirsten has] got what's called an ambivalent smile. Her eyes aren't smiling, but she's got like a half smile of her mouth."
PHOTOS: Rob and Kristen's relationship
Late last Tuesday, Us revealed the exclusive photos of Stewart's shocking fling with Sanders, 41, from their steamy rendezvous on July 17. The next day, Stewart issued a statement apologizing to her real-life boyfriend and Twilight costar Robert Pattinson, 26, for the "momentary indiscretion" saying it "has jeopardized the most important thing in my life, the person I love and respect the most, Rob. I love him, I love him, I'm so sorry."
Although her photographed fling with Sanders didn't unfold until three months later, Glass speculates that Stewart has a look of guilt on her face in the May 14 shot.
"Liberty has gone and touched her and reached out. And she's looking like she's made a friend," the author of The Body Language Advantage explains to Us. "Liberty looks very happy, like she would not suspect anything. She's posing for the camera, she's reaching out to Kristen, touching her. She looks very relaxed and very much in control."
