Discovery Of Mechanism For Postpartum Depression In Mice May Lead To Better Treatments

�Researchers hold pinpointed a mechanism in the brains of mice that could explain why some human mothers turn depressed following childbirth. The discovery could lead to improved treatment for postpartum depression. Supported in part by the National Institute of Mental Health, of the National Institutes of Health, the study used genetically engineered mice wanting a protein critical for adapting to the sexual urge hormone fluctuations of gestation and the postpartum period.





"For the commencement time, we may own a highly useful poser of postnatal depression," said NIMH Director Thomas R. Insel, M.D. "The new research likewise points to a specific potential new target in the brain for medications to regale this disorder that affects 15 pct of women after they give birth."





"After giving birth, female mice deficient in the mistrust protein showed depression-like behaviors and unattended their new-sprung pups," explained Istvan Mody, Ph.D., of the University of California at Los Angeles, world Health Organization led the research. "Giving a dose that restored the protein's function improved maternal behavior and reduced pup mortality."





Mody and Jamie Maguire, Ph.D., report on their findings in the July 31, 2008 issuance of Neuron.





Researchers had suspected that postnatal depression cauline from the marked fluctuations in estrogen and lipo-Lutin that go with pregnancy and childbirth. Yet manipulating the hormones experimentally triggers great Depression only in women with a history of the disorder. The roots of their vulnerability remain a mystery.





Evidence suggested that the hormones exert their personal effects on mood through the brain's major inhibitory chemical messenger organisation, called GABA, which dampens neural activity, helping to regulate when a neuron fires.





Mody and Maguire ascertained that a GABA sensory receptor subunit fluctuated conspicuously during pregnancy and postpartum in the brains of female mice, hinting that it might have pivotal behavioral effects. To find knocked out, they used mice deficient the factor for this subunit and studied them in situations that can elicit responses similar to human depression and anxiety.





Much like human mothers suffering from postnatal depression, the genetically altered mouse mothers were more than lethargic and less pleasure-seeking than normal mice. They also shunned their pups and failed to make proper nests for them.





This abnormal maternal behavior was reversed and pup survival increased after the researchers gave the animals a drug called THIP that acts on the sensory receptor in a way that specifically restores its function in spite of the reduced numeral of subunits.





"Improper functioning of the subunit could impair the GABA system's ability to adapt to internal secretion fluctuations during the extremely vulnerable post partum period," explained Maguire. "Targeting this subunit might be a promising strategy in development new treatments for postnatal depression."

The role of the Arabic, lute-like, stringed official document, the oud, has been revolutionalized through the playacting of Anouar Brahem. While used in the past to come with vocalists, the oud is secondhand by Brahem as an imaginative solo instrument. In 1988, Tunisian newspaper, "Tunis-Hebdo", wrote, "If we had to elect the musician of the 80s, we would have, without the least hesitation, elect Anouar Brahem". The British everyday newsprint, "The Guardian", that Brahem was "at the forefront of idle words because he is far beyond it".


Bucked up by his music-loving fatherhood, Brahem began poring over the oud, at the age of tenner, when he enrolled at the National Conservatory of Music. For intimately a decade, he studied with influential oud player Ali Sitri. By the eld of fifteen, he was playacting well enough to perform regularly with local orchestras. Although he initially focussed on Arabic music, Brahem progressively unified elements of jazz. This was enhanced during the six days that he dog-tired in Paris (1981 -- 1987), playacting at festivals and collaborating with choreographer Maurice Bejart on a production, "A Return To Carthage" that received the prestigous "National Award Of Excellence In Music".

Shortly after, Braham agreed to suit film director of the Ensemble Musical De In Ville De Tunis. During the deuce geezerhood that he oversaw the ensemble, Brahem divided the grouping into smaller of versatile sizes. Among the productions that he directed were "Leilatou Tayu" and "El Hizam El Dhahbi".


In 1990, Brahem resigned to focal point on his own career. After touring in the United States and Canada, he met and was signed by Manfred Eicher, manufacturer and founder of German record tag, ECM. His debut album, "Barzakh", released in 1991, was recorded with Turkish musicians, Bechir Selmi and Lassad Hosni. In a inspection of the album, German music cartridge, "Stereo system", wrote, "(Brahem) is an exceptional instrumentalist and improviser". Brahem's second record album, "Conte De L'incroyable Amour", released in 1992, was recorded with clarinet instrumentalist Barbaros Erkose. In 1994, Brahem recorded "Madar", with Norwegian saxist Jan Garbarek and Pakistani tabla player Shaukat Hussain. Brahem's quarter record album, "Khomas", released in 1995, featured makeshift interpretations of his compositions for Tunisian celluloid and theatre of operations productions and was recorded with squeeze box player Richard Galliano and fiddler Bechir Selmi. With his twenty percent endeavor, "Thimar", released in 1998, Brahem collaborated with soprano saxophone and bass clarinet player Jo n Surman and double bass instrumentalist Dave Holland. Astrakan Cafe was issued ternary years later.


Brahem has composed numerous pieces for such films and musical theater productions as "Sabots En Or", "Bezness", "Halfaouine", "Les Silences Du Palais", "Lachou Shakespeare", "Wannas El Kloub", El Amel", "Borj El Hammam" and "Bosten Jamalek".

Star Trek - Nimoys Ode To Larger Ladies


STAR TREK star-turned snapper LEONARD NIMOY is rallying against the unrealistic portrayal of women in the media - with a new book of photographs of fuller-figured women.

The 77-year-old, who has launched a successful second career as a photographer, hopes The Full Body Project will help larger ladies come to terms with their bodies, and resist the pressure to slim.

He writes in the preface, "The average American woman weighs 25 per cent more than the models wearing the clothes marketed to her.

"There is a huge industry built up around selling women ways to get their bodies closer to a fantasy ideal.

"The women in these pages are proudly wearing their own skins. They accept and respect themselves and I hope that my images convey that feeling to others."

Andrew Hill was a majuscule and even groundbreaking composer and piano player, yet the comparatively circumscribed scale of his innovations mightiness take in the beginning caused him to get befuddled in the scuffle of the '60s dislodge jazz revolution. While many of his contemporaries were all jettisoning the rhythmic and harmonical techniques of boP and concentrated federal Bureau of Prisons, Hill worked to protract their possibilities; his was a revolution from inside. Much of the most compelling '60s jazz was intimately aleatoric; Hill, on the other hand, exhibited a determined command of his materials, however abstract they might sometimes be. His composed melodies were labyrinthian, and rhythmically and harmonically coordination compound tunes like "Young Monastery" from his Point of Departure record album exhibit a sophism born of subordination, non hazard or contingency. As a piano player, Hill had a flowing melodicism and an elastic sense of time. Like his composing, Hill's playing had an ever-present air of spontaneousness and was nigh totally barren of cliché.


He began playing the pianoforte at about the age of 13. As a nipper in Chicago, Hill was encouraged by pianist Earl Hines. Jazz composer Bill Russo also took an interest, and introduced Hill to the famed classical composer Paul Hindemith, with whom Hill studied from 1950-1952. While in his teens, he gigged with large jazz musicians passing through and through the Midwest, Miles Davis and Charlie Parker among them. In 1955, he recorded So in Love with the Sound of Andrew Hill for the Warwick label. He affected to New York in 1961 to play with singer Dinah Washington. After a brief foray to Los Angeles with Rahsaan Roland Kirk's band in 1962, Hill affected back to New York, where he began his transcription career in businesslike.


He made several records for Blue Note from 1963-1969, both as loss leader and sideman. Hill's Blue Note play featured some of the c. H. Best and brightest post-bop musicians of the clarence Day, including Eric Dolphy, Joe Henderson, Woody Shaw, Tony Williams, and Freddie Hubbard. Like many jazz musicians, Hill eventually sour to academia to make a living. He received his doctor's degree from Colgate University and served as the school's composer in residence from 1970-1972. Hill relocated to the West Coast, education in public schools and prisons in California. He finally landed a teaching place at Portland State University, where he established the school's Summer Jazz Intensive. In summation to his teaching, Hill continued to perform and record in the '70s and '80s, making records for the Arista-Freedom and Black Saint/Soul Note labels. In 1989 and 1990, Hill recorded doubly more for Blue Note, Endless Spirit and Simply Not Farewell.


Hill moved back to the New York area in the '90s; a serial of performances and new recordings helped piazza him endorse in the wind spot. Hill formed a new Point of Departure Sextet for the Knitting Factory's 1998 Texaco Jazz Festival. The band included saxophonists Marty Ehrlich and Greg Tardy, trumpeter Ron Horton, bassist Scott Colley, and drummer Billy Drummond. The band went on to play New York golf club engagements to much herald. In 2000, Palmetto Records released Twilight, which was named the best album of 2001 by Down Beat and Jazz Times magazines. It was followed by A Beautiful Day in 2002, Passage Ships in 2003, and Black Fire in 2004, as well as a solid series of Blue Note reissues of his '60s solve that included bonus tracks and modern liner notes. His 2006 album, Time Lines, reunited him with both herald Charles Tolliver and the Blue Note label. Hill too participated in a 17-piece great dance orchestra, and a January 2002 engagement at New York's Birdland was filmed and recorded by Palmetto for future broadcast. After battling lung cancer for many days, Hill succumbed to the disease on April 20, 2007, going away behind a stunning bequest of work.
