EPA Announces Public Health Emergency In Libby, Montana
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lisa P. Jackson announced the agency has determined that a public health emergency exists at the Libby asbestos site in northwest Montana. Over the past years, hundreds of asbestos-related disease cases have been documented in this small community, which covers the towns of Libby and Troy. The announcement was made today at a joint press conference with Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius and U.S. Sens. Max Baucus and Jon Tester.

Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, Lobbying Campaign At 10 Downing Street, UK
On 16 June, boys living with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, their families and supporters will be lobbying MPs and marching to No. 10 Downing Street to bring an end to the continuing serious under-funding for research into the condition. Results from recent clinical trials into the effectiveness of Exon Skipping as a gene therapy for the treatment of Duchenne have been very promising and scientists say that a cure is tantalisingly close, but more funding is needed. The lobby action is being organised by Action Duchenne, the only UK charity dedicated solely to raising awareness and raising funds for research into treatments and finding a cure, and providing support for families living with Duchenne.

Targeted Cancer Treatment Following Breakthrough In Radiotherapy

Current radiation therapy treatment damages a patient"s healthy tissue as well as eradicating the tumour it is intended to destroy, making the treatment especially invasive and often causing nasty side effects. A new development in radiotherapy will enable a far more precise and accurate treatment for cancerous tumours by using real-time images to guide the radiation beam. Real-time image-guided radiotherapy, combining radiation treatment with non-invasive MR imaging, would be far less harmful for patients as it would leave less healthy tissue damaged and give radiation oncologists the possibility of instantly modifying the treatment dose as tumours change in size and shift. Published in issue 12 of IOP Publishing"s Physics in Medicine & Biology the findings of a research group from the University Medical Centre Utrecht in the Netherlands are set to "open the door to start testing MRI-guided radiation therapy in the clinic". The team of researchers has successfully proven that simultaneous radiation treatment and diagnostic-quality MRI is feasible. By actively shielding the radiation beam from the MRI scanner"s magnet and redesigning the treatment room set-up, which has until now been difficult to put into practice, the researchers have managed to produce high-quality, real-time MRI images, which could enable oncologists to target radiation far more accurately while it is being applied. Working towards a clinical prototype, the research team is hoping to start the first clinical tests in a year"s time. Lena Weber Institute of Physics
