Walking the walk from genes through telomere maintenance to cancer risk.
Recent studies have shown associations between human population single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) and white blood cell telomere shortness; independently, telomere shortness has been associated with higher risks of various cancers. However, no single previous study simultaneously linked a given SNP both with telomere length and reduced risk of cancer. In this issue of the journal (beginning ...
متن کاملAuditory Feedback in a Multimodal Balancing Task: Walking on a Virtual Plank
We describe a multimodal system which exploits the use of footwear-based interaction in virtual environments. We developed a pair of shoes enhanced with pressure sensors, actuators, and markers. Such shoes control a multichannel surround sound system and drive a physically based sound synthesis engine which simulates the act of walking on different surfaces. We present the system in all its com...
متن کاملTelomere cancer
Most human carcinomas exhibit telomere abnormalities early in the carcinogenesis process [1–3] suggesting that crisis caused by telomere shortening may be a necessary event leading to human carcinomas [4]. Epidemiological records of the age at which each patient in a population develops carcinoma are known as age-incidence data; these provide a quantitative measure of human tumor initiation and...
متن کاملPlank to push-up.
Stability of the spine is necessary for preventing pain and enhancing performance (Liebenson, 2006; McGill, 2006). Core muscle endurance is a key quality to train. Many exercises have been developed for the core including traditional ones such as sit-ups which have been recently called into question (McGill, 2006). Training the spine in a neutral posture which reinforces the natural upright cur...
متن کاملTarski's Plank Problem Revisited
In the 1930's, Tarski introduced his plank problem at a time when the field Discrete Geometry was about to born. It is quite remarkable that Tarski's question and its variants continue to generate interest in the geometric and analytic aspects of coverings by planks in the present time as well. The paper is a survey type with a list of open research problems.
