Macular Degeneration: The 'See Food' Diet
Current research suggests that a diet high in omega-3 fatty acids may help prevent one of the leading causes of legal blindness among the elderly. The related report by Tuo et al, "A high omega-3 fatty acid diet reduces retinal lesions in a murine model of macular degeneration," appears in the August 2009 issue of the American Journal of Pathology.

Amyloid Aggregations And Tau Pathology Reflected By Cortical Thickness In The Default Network Of MCI And AD
Alzheimer"s disease patients show a relentless decline in memory over the course of the disease, which is accompanied by both brain atrophy and by characteristic deposits in the brain tissue called amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles. Researchers from the Chinese Academy of Sciences studied a large database, collected in the US, of patients with Alzheimer"s or memory complaints who had MRI scans and had spinal taps to collect cerebrospinal fluid, which is in the brain and spinal chord. By examining the CFS they could measure the amounts of the substances that make p plaques and tangles, and related this to brain atrophy. They found that the amount of plaque and tangle-producing chemicals in the cerebrospinal fluid correlated with brain tissue loss in selective regions of the brain which are typically affected in Alzheimer"s disease. The brains in these regions had thinned out suggesting that brain cells had died. These regions are important for memory and are typically active when the brain is at rest. Using these techniques may ultimately help identify early markers of disease in Alzheimer"s, potentially indicating who is likely to develop Alzheimer"s before memory loss is critical.

Poster Submissions Invited For PAC - Pharmaceutical Society Of Australia

A major feature of the annual Pharmacy Australia Congress is the Poster Session which will attract a great deal of interest and provide unprecedented exposure for their authors. This year"s PAC will focus on the theme of Securing Your Practice Advantage and PAC organisers are inviting submissions for the Poster Displays at this year"s Congress to be held at the Sydney Hilton 15 - 18 October 2009. The Poster session at PAC will provide the opportunity for researchers and practitioners to share their research findings with attendees and members of the Pharmaceutical Society of Australia. Australians researchers lead the way in many aspects of pharmacy practice research and this is a fantastic opportunity for researchers to demonstrate their research and practice innovations. Delegates to the Congress include a wide range of pharmacy professionals, industry representatives, media and students so the poster work accented for display will be given invaluable exposure to a diverse and influential audience. The deadline for Abstract Submissions is 15 August 2009. The abstract should be a summary that does not exceed the 250 word limit (not including authors and affiliations). Those exceeding the word limit will be returned to the author for editing and risk missing the submission deadline.
