NIH Advisory Group Recommends Changes for Biomedical Research Workforce :: The National Institutes of Health (NIH) should make changes to workforce policies in order to promote the long-term sustainability of the biomedical research workforce, according to a new report by a government advisory group.

With food safety bill, U.S. government will spend nearly $1 million per person to prevent food-borne illness deaths :: (NaturalNews) The recently-passed Food Safety Modernization Act, which was passed in order to prevent food-borne illness deaths in the USA, will cost $1.4 billion over the first five years. But nobody thinks about the economics of the issue. How many people are we going to save by spending this $1.4 billion, even assuming it works?To answer that question, let's look at the food illness fatality figures offered by the CDC:• Out of the 5,000 food-borne illness deaths each year in the United States, only 1,809 are "attributable to foodborne transmission" according to the CDC (http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/EID/vol5no5/mead.htm#Table%203).• E.coli, which is often quoted in the big scare stories about food safety, only kills 78 people a year through food-borne transmission (52 plus 26, fro...

Enzymatic preparation of L‐alpha glycerylphosphorylcholine in an aqueous medium :: AbstractL‐alpha glycerylphosphorylcholine (L‐α‐GPC) was successfully prepared from phosphatidylcholine (PC) of food‐grade soy lecithin powder by a novel enzymatic reaction in an aqueous medium. A 94.5% yield of L‐α‐GPC was obtained under the optimal conditions of 55 °C, 6.67 mg · mL‐1 substrate, 2 mM CaCl2, and 33.4 U · mL‐1 phospholipase A1 (Lecitase Ultra). L‐α‐GPC at 98% purity, 73.4% (wt‐%) recovery, and specific rotation () of ‐2.5° was achieved by silica gel column chromatography. Owing to its excellent catalytic efficiency, low cost, and ready availability, phospholipase A1 (Lecitase Ultra) provides a very satisfactory option for converting PC to L‐α‐GPC.Practical applications: L‐alpha glycerylphosphorylcholine (L‐α‐GPC) has been st...
