CAMBRIDGE, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
NinePoint Medical, Inc., an emerging leader in the development of medical devices for in vivo imaging, today announced that data demonstrating positive results related to a new tethered capsule endomicroscopy technology, licensed from Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH), were published online this week in the journal Nature Medicine. The research, performed at the Wellman Center for Photomedicine at MGH, where the technology was developed, shows the pill-sized imaging system creates detailed, microscopic, three-dimensional images of the esophageal wall and is expected to offer several advantages over traditional endoscopy. This tethered capsule endomicroscopy technology has been licensed for commercial development by NinePoint Medical, as part of its 2010 licensing agreement with MGH, the largest technology IP license in MGH history.
A typical endoscopic examination requires that the patient stay in the endoscopy unit for approximately 90 minutes, and typically requires intravenous sedation. In this study, researchers tested the system in 13 participants without sedation six of the patients were known to have Barrett's esophagus, a precancerous condition usually caused by chronic exposure to stomach acid, and seven healthy volunteers.According to the study, physicians operating the system were able to image the entire esophagus in less than a minute. In addition, researchers reported that a procedure involving four passes two down the esophagus and two up could be completed in around six minutes. This could potentially offer a sedation-less initial imaging exam performed in the office environment by a gastroenterologist or otolaryngologist. According to the Nature Medicine publication, researchers could clearly image subsurface structures not seen with endoscopy, allowing them to distinguish tissue changes that signify disease.Furthermore, the authors reported that study participants who had previously undergone endoscopy indicated they preferred the new procedure.
We are excited to see the publication of this data from our collaborators at Massachusetts General Hospital that clearly demonstrate the imaging technology can produce valuable images of esophageal tissue, said Charles Carignan, M.D., president and chief executive officer of NinePoint Medical. We look forward to moving ahead with continued development of this exciting new technology.
The Nature Medicine paper titled Tethered Capsule Endomicroscopy Enables Less Invasive Imaging of Gastrointestinal Tract Microstructure will appear in the February print edition of the journal.

Dedicated Medical Students Drawing Peers to Family Medicine
Each year, seven student leaders chosen from ournetwork of Family Medicine Interest Groups (FMIGs)come to the AAFP's offices in Leawood, Kan., for orientation before beginning their new roles.
When our five FMIG regional coordinators, national FMIG coordinator and Student National Medical Association liaison to the AAFP met with Academy leaders and staff in January 2012, AAFP EVP Doug Henley, M.D., challenged them to boost student membership to 20,000. They delivered, helping boost our student membership by 3,500.
Dr. Henley raised the bar to 21,000 when seven new student leaders recently met in Leawood. The task of increasing student membership will become more difficult because a growing percentage of students already are members. To date, 20 percent of medical students have joined our ranks.
So how do the FMIGs grow student interest in family medicine? Each regional coordinator is responsible for keeping in touch with the more than two dozen medical schools in his or her region, as well as with FMIG student leaders on those campuses. They find out what those groups need help with and make sure they are aware of various opportunities, such as funding sources, scholarships and AAFP programs.
It's no coincidence that student attendance at the National Conference of Family Medicine Residents and Medical Students increased by 10 percent in 2012.
The work of the student leaders broadens the AAFP's scope and complements the work of staff members in the Academy's Medical Education Division, who work with FMIG faculty advisers on those same campuses.
A recent survey of those faculty advisers showed that interest in family medicine is increasing among students in 41 percent of FMIGs and is steady in 44 percent. Less than 4 percent reported declining interest.
There are at least 147 FMIGs at our nation's allopathic medical schools, up from 113 just five years ago. Also encouraging is that 10 of the AAFP's 11 target schools(those without a department of family medicine or those that have had a department of family medicine for less than three years) now have an FMIG.
I personally work with our local FMIG every year in Colorado by teaching students how to present Tar Wars,the AAFP's tobacco-free education program for fourth- and fifth-graders. Tar Wars is popular with med students and strengthens their interest in community health and family medicine.

SALISBURY, Md. - Delmarva could be home to Maryland's fourth medical school.
Peninsula Regional Medical Center has teamed up with Salisbury University and The University of Maryland Eastern Shore in hopes of starting the lower Eastern Shore's first medical school.
The President and CEOof PRMC, Dr. Peggy Naleppa says there's a significant shortage of physicians in the area and the new school would help fill the void. "We know that physicians will reside - 40 to 50 % will reside and stay in the community in which they are trained. 18 out of our 30 specialties require new physicians over the next several years, and we want to be sensitive to that for the region," she said.
Officials say plans are starting to take shape. The first step is to focus on a residency program that's expected to launch sometime in 2014. Then, they will move to make plans in building a medical school.
President of Salisbury University, Dr. Janet Dudley-Eshbach released this statement regarding the plans:
Peninsula Regional Medical Center; the University of Maryland, Baltimore; Salisbury University; and the University of Maryland, Eastern Shore have signed a Memorandum of Understanding for an Eastern Shore of Maryland Medical and Health Science Education Partnership.
A feasibility study by an independent consulting firm recommends such a partnership to develop a regional medical and health science education and research campus. According to the consultants, the most feasible model to assure an adequate future physician workforce for the area is to establish a four-year medical school as a regional campus of UMB in close partnership with SU and UMES, leveraging the strengths of these two institutions. The goal is ultimately to attract doctors to this area.
SUs involvement is logical:

Frozen 1941 Walking Liberty Half Dollar Unearthed
We found a 1941 Walking Liberty Half Dollar with a Fisher F75! Problem is, that it was in very frozen ground and damaged it. Not too bad WITH ONLY A COUPLE NICS, but we learned a lesson on this coin. DO NOT USE A SHARP KNIFE OR TROWEL TO REMOVE DIRT!! DON #39;T USE THUMBS TO CLEAN DIRT EITHER! IT WILL SCRATCH! The coin is still in very good condition.

The girls soccer schedule in Liberty's locker room has the upcoming games covered up with blue athletic tape, the kind you couldn't see through even if you press your nose up next to it.
That's why Patriots coach Boog Hearron refused to bite when asked how important his team's 1-0 home victory over Frontier was Thursday in a battle of Southwest Yosemite League unbeatens.
"It's just another game," he said as he ripped off another piece of tape to reveal Liberty's match with Stockdale on Tuesday. "We're not talking about winning league or winning Valley like some teams do. We keep things very simple."
Simple was enough for Liberty (11-2-1, 4-0 SWYL) against Frontier (15-5, 3-1). The Patriots scored the game's only goal eight minutes into the second half when Maci Feliz slipped a through ball between two Frontier defenders to a streaking Lexie Kinney, who slotted it past Frontier goalkeeper Madeline Grimes.
"I actually thought Maci should have shot that ball," Hearron said, "but Maci and Lexie are something else. They each have 11 goals and something like 9 assists, and all of the assists are to each other."
After that, neither team had many chances, with Liberty's midfield possession and solid back line styming Frontier, which hadn't lost since Dec. 11.
"We knew we were pretty even coming in," Titans coach Max Bluemel said. "It was two quality sides, and it boiled down to who made the first critical error. Unfortunately, that was us. Liberty kept putting the pressure on us, and we boiled down."
After the goal, Frontier managed a couple of strikes from outside the box but had no real scoring chances from close range.
"They're very strong in the midfield and defense and they play a very physical game," Titans coach Max Bluemel said. "They were a rock back there."

Liberty Global Inc. ( LBTYA ), a leading cable MSO of Europe and Latin America, recently increased its stake in its Belgian subsidiary, Telenet to 58.4% from its existing 50.2% stake. Last September, Liberty Global decided to acquire the remaining 50% stake of Telenet for approximately $2.6 billion. In December 2013, the company launched a cash offer for Telenet's shares and securities through its subsidiary Binan Investments B.V.
Recently, Liberty Global declared that 9,497,637 ordinary shares and 3,000 warrants of Telenet were tendered under its cash offer. As a result, Liberty Global will get more voting rights in Telenet. Management stated that it is closely monitoring the organization, governance and reporting structure of Telenet and may opt for more integrated option.
Telenet is an integrated telecom company offering television, broadband and mobile phone services in the Dutch-speaking north Belgium. In the third quarter of 2012, Telenet generated $461 million of revenue for Liberty Global and it had 2.134 million subscribers. At present, Liberty Global is concentrating solely on Europe and some parts of Latin America. From early 2010, Liberty Global is gradually concentrating on strengthening its foothold in Europe through a series of mergers and acquisitions.
In the coming years, we believe Liberty Global's revenue will continue to benefit from a 'triple play' of video, broadband, and telephone, as it signs up more "bundled" customers in Europe and Latin America. Deployment of high-speed DOCSIS 3.0 network has facilitated the company to be at par with Virgin Media Inc. ( VMED ) and BT Group plc. ( BT ).
We maintain our long-term Neutral recommendation on Liberty Global. Currently, it enjoys a short-term Zacks Rank #3 (Hold).

Ultimately, Liberty got what it wanted Thursday in the opening round of its own C.W. Stessman Invitational at Cokely Field House.
The Blue Jays survived 77-53 against a pesky Summit Christian squad.
With the win, Liberty, 11-2, advanced to the semifinals against Springfield Kickapoo, but it was far from easy.
The Jays, who are ranked 10th in The Stars big-class poll, actually trailed 35-34 more than a minute into the third quarter after a layup by Eagles junior Donovan Kim.
It was still a three-point game 47-44 late in the period after consecutive baskets by Summit Christian senior Henry Stratton, but Liberty would seize control with an 11-0 run.
Junior Brandon Moultrie splashed a 3-pointer to ignite the spurt, which also included consecutive three-point plays by senior Kwaku Duah.
We got some better shots in the second half, particularly in the third quarter, and hit some perimeter shots, which was key, Jays coach Roger Stirtz said.
At that point, Summit Christian, 10-5, which used a two-man bench the majority of the game, simply wore down and never again pulled closer than 10 points.
My guys always play hard tonight and played together, Eagles coach Jake Kates said. We gave them a little scare for three quarters before we ran out of steam, but Im proud of them.
The Jays threatened to pull away in the first half when senior Eric Greelys dunk energized the crowd and sparked a tie-breaking 6-0 run, but Eagles senior Taurin Hughes, who scored a game-high 20, staunched the bleeding.

Jason Brennan, "Libertarianism: What Everyone Needs to Know"
Our guest is educator and author Jason Brennan who discusses his latest book titled "Libertarianism: What Everyone Needs to Know." He suggests that his goal in the book was to make libertarianism seem reasonable to people who aren #39;t inclined to know much about it. He describes the book as a primer in the political philosophy described as libertarianism. Brennan reviews well-known libertarians such as Ayn Rand and Milton Friedman, as well as Adam Smith and John Locke.

MAX KEISER: Devil #39;s DEADLY Derivatives! Glenn Beck #39;s #39;libertarian #39; paradise [KEISER REPORT E394]
In this episode, Max Keiser and Stacy Herbert discuss the risk of toxic derivatives, annoying neighbors and Glenn Beck #39;s #39;libertarian #39; paradise. They also discuss the belief that markets can predict stock prices, which they can #39;t . . . unless they #39;re rigged, which they are. In the second half of the show, Max Keiser talks to Nick Dunbar, author of The Devil #39;s Derivatives and Inventing Money and journalist at Bloomberg, about the Escher painting that is the global derivatives market where bankers are trading an option on an option that is a bet upon a bet upon a bet on a bet on a bet upon which there may be no collateral.
