in other news, 3D still gives me a headache and I don't know why.  Something about not all layers of the visual moving at the same rate or something.  (sigh)

More of a collection of interview data, but still interesting.  The conclusions are unsurprising:  For #Fibromyalgia  patients to stay employed, they need certain accommodations, and support.

Results: Four categories were identified describing factors promoting sustainable work: the meaning of work and individual strategies were individual promoters while a favourable work environment and social support outside work were environmental promoters. The meaning of work included individual meaning and social meaning. The individual strategies included handling symptoms, the work day and long-term work life. A favourable work environment included the physical and psychosocial work environment. Social support outside work included societal and private social supports.

Fibromyalgia and pain management strategies.  Not an open access article, unfortunately, but the conclusions seem clear: patients who are using physical exercise, physical therapy and cold treatment have better pain management scores.

_"Results: The most frequently reported pain management strategies were physical exercise (54%), physical therapy (32%) and cold treatment (27%). The use of active pain management strategies, BDI IA < 10 points and age were independent predictors of the reported pain management efficacy. Patients who used active pain management strategies reported better efficacy with the BDI IA score ≥ 10 points.
Conclusion: Active pain management strategies are most efficacious for fibromyalgia patients, regardless of the severity of fibromyalgia or optional comorbid depression."_

Amazing Sea Butterflies

The chemistry of the ocean is changing. Most climate change discussion focuses on the warmth of the air, but around one-quarter of the carbon dioxide we release into the atmosphere dissolves into the ocean. Dissolved carbon dioxide makes seawater more acidic—a process called ocean acidification—and its effects have already been observed: the shells of sea butterflies, also known as pteropods, have begun dissolving in the Antarctic.

Tiny sea butterflies are related to snails, but use their muscular foot to swim in the water instead of creep along a surface. Many species have thin, hard shells made of calcium carbonate that are especially sensitive to changes in the ocean’s acidity. Their sensitivity and cosmopolitan nature make them an alluring study group for scientists who want to better understand how acidification will affect ocean organisms. Butsome ... more »

I think he's too nice.

The first time I saw a course in homeopathic first aid, I swear I thought it was the Mitchell & Webb thing as a spoof. But it wasn't. It was the Soil Association in the UK. It was a real course they offered.

This is even worse. Taking advantage of people who might not have access to the real information about homeopathy is despicable.

"I want the public to know just what goes on under the surface of Wikipedia and how the site plays dice with people’s reputations by allowing anonymous editing of biographies of living persons. As someone who joined the project with a fair amount of enthusiasm for its mission more than seven years ago, I have found the realities of how Wikipedia is written irresponsible and deeply disturbing, and given the site’s status as a top-10 website, I believe the public needs to understand just what is going on in Wikipedia day after day.”

Baseball!
Need an unusual gift for a coach, or gym teacher?  This canvas print is reduced, just in time.  
I am grateful to the coaches who have taught K to throw properly, use a mitt properly, and to catch!! (I am not the best role model there! LOL)
This found baseball was clearly loved and well used!

Early attempts at gene therapy suffered from side effects to patient death.  This new approach lets physicians control the virus that they're using -- basically dialing up or down the therapy throughout the course of the trial.

Well, I tried to take a nap, but I was pretty uncomfortable.  So I'm up again.  maybe I need more meds.

Sometimes when this happens, all I can do is get up and really exhaust myself so I can sleep.  stupid #fibromyalgia   I m tired already!!!

What are your weekend plans?  We actually have plans tomorrow to double date with another couple and see the new Star Trek Movie!  She hired a sitter and everything!  I'll have to endure the 3D showing, but I expect it will be so exciting I won't notice it much.

Kiva Zip

Kiva.org has started a new site Kiva Zip, lends directly to small business owners. It's a great program similar to what we see in Kiva.org but without the middlemen. The government won't help small businesses and the banks will lend only to big businesses, maybe we can help them ourselves.

"Kiva Zip is an experimental site, launched by Kiva, that enables you to make direct loans to entrepreneurs in Kenya and the United States. You can make a loan today for as little as $25. Over time, as your loan is repaid, you get your money back, and you can then withdraw it, or relend it to another entrepreneur."

See the type of loans here: https://zip.kiva.org/loans

Blueprints of Flowers

The worlds of architecture and scientific illustration collided when Macoto Murayama was studying at Miyagi University in Japan. In a project he calls “Inorganic flora,” the 29-year-old Japanese artist diagrams flowers. He buys his specimens—sweetpeas (Lathyrus odoratus L. , Asiatic dayflowers (Commelina communis L.) and sulfur cosmos (Cosmos sulphureus Cav.), to name a few—from flower stands or collects them from the roadside.

Murayama carefully dissects each flower, removing its petals, anther, stigma and ovaries with a scalpel. He studies the separate parts of the flower under a magnifying glass and then sketches and photographs them.

Using 3D computer graphics software, the artist then creates models of the full blossom as well as of the stigma, sepals and other parts of the bloom. He cleans up his composition in Photoshop and addsmeasureme... more »

The use of genome-wide analysis (GWA), where the entirety of an individual’s DNA is examined to look for the genomic mutations or variants which can cause health problems is a massively useful technology for diagnosing disease.  However, it can also pose major ethical problems if used incorrectly, say new recommendations from the European Society of Human Genetics (ESHG) published on line today (16 May 2013) in the European Journal of Human Genetics.

Soooo I don't know what the everloving fuck I was thinking 2 months ago when I volunteered to help with Field Day at Kayleigh's school today.  
Field Day: a day of playground games and tests of speed, agility, jumping, hopping, and general silliness.
I am still at the mercy of the pollen and not feeling great.  BUT this is pretty much the last year she will do stuff like this, so I will go and bring my camera and sunscreen and hope for the best.
If you don't hear from me tonight, I died nobly on the Field of Trials, and should be remembered as The Mother Who Should Have Known Better.

SCIENTIFIC ILLUSTRATION:  Nucleosome
The Mediterranean Institute for Life Sciences
Split, Croatia

High resolution ray-traced model of a nucleosome, isolated on black.

A nucleosome is the basic unit of DNA packaging in eukaryotes, consisting of a segment of DNA wound in sequence around four histone protein cores.  This structure is often compared to thread wrapped around a spool.

Nucleosomes form the fundamental repeating units of eukaryotic chromatin, which is used to pack the large eukaryotic genomes into the nucleus while still ensuring appropriate access to it.  In mammalian cells approximately 2 m of linear DNA have to be packed into a nucleus of roughly 10 µm diameter.  

Nucleosomes are folded through a series of successively higher order structures to eventually form a chromosome; this both compacts DNA and creates an added layer ofregu... more »
