2013 APA Annual MeetingKetamine shows significant therapeutic benefit in people with treatment-resistant depression Patients with treatment-resistant major depression saw dramatic improvement in their illness after treatment with ketamine, an anesthetic, according to the largest ketamine clinical trial to date led by researchers from the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. The antidepressant benefits of ketamine were seen within 24 hours, whereas traditional antidepressants can take days or weeks to demonstrate a reduction in depression. Contact: Press Office

NASA's STEREO detects a CME from the sun On 5:24 a.m. EDT on May 17, 2013, the sun erupted with an Earth-directed coronal mass ejection or CME, a solar phenomenon that can send billions of tons of solar particles into space that can reach Earth one to three days later and affect electronic systems in satellites and on the ground.

Journal of the American College of SurgeonsMore than one-third of Texas women still receive unnecessary breast biopsy surgery Many women in Texas who are found to have an abnormality on routine mammogram or discover a lump in one of their breasts end up having an old-fashioned surgical biopsy to find out whether the breast abnormality is malignant. Since 2001, national expert panels have recommended that the first course of action for women with breast lumps or masses should be minimally invasive biopsy.

Applications in Plant SciencesNew formula invented for microscope viewing, substitutes for federally controlled drug In the May issue of Applications in Plant Sciences, researchers introduce Visikol, a proprietary new formulation that effectively clears organisms for viewing under microscopes. Visikol can replace chloral hydrate, which was previously one of the few high-quality clearing solutions but which is regulated by the DEA due to its use as a narcotic. The study tests Visikol's utility compared to chloral hydrate and demonstrates it as an effective replacement with a higher refractive index.

Society for Academic Emergency Medicine Annual MeetingStudy: Patient openness to research can depend on race and sex of study personnel Researchers at the University of Cincinnati have found that the race and sex of study personnel can influence a patient's decision on whether or not to participate in clinical research. The study, presented today at the Society for Academic Emergency Medicine's annual meeting, found that black patients, both male and female, were about 15 percent less likely to be willing to participate in research when approached by a white male study assistant.

American Journal of PathologyNew study pinpoints biochemical mechanism underlying fibrosis following glaucoma surgery The most common cause of glaucoma surgery failure is scarring at the surgical site.Previous work had suggested that vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) inhibition results in reduced scar formation and better surgical results. In a series of studies using a rabbit model of glaucoma surgery, investigators have determined that VEGF probably exerts its effects through induction of transforming growth factor (TGF)-β1, which may open up a new target for therapies to improve glaucoma surgical outcomes.

European Physical Journal BPromising doped zirconia Materials belonging to the family of dilute magnetic oxides are good candidates for spintronics applications. Davide Sangalli of the Microelectronics and Microsystems Institute at the National Research Council, Agrate Brianza, Italy, and colleagues explored the effect of iron doping on thin films of a material called zirconia. For the first time, the authors bridged the gap between the theoretical predictions and the experimental measurements of this material, in a paper in EPJ B.
