Cancer y Antes de celulares

En colonias de Guadalajara con esos sistemas hay más niños con leucemia

Posible relación entre cáncer y radiaciones de antenas: estudio

Guadalajara, Jal.

Un estudio de la Universidad de Guadalajara (UdeG) y el Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social reveló que Oblatos, Tetlán y Cerro del Cuatro son las colonias con más prevalencia de niños con leucemia en la zona metropolitana de Guadalajara, y en esos asentamientos hay antenas de telecomunicaciones que podrían incidir en el aumento de la enfermedad.

La investigación está a cargo de un equipo interdisciplinario de neurólogos, pediatras, oncólogos, hematólogos, además del ingeniero en electrónica y académico de la UdeG Jesús Leonardo Soto Sumuano, y se aplica a 125 casos de niños con leucemia para saber si las antenas perjudican su salud.

Soto Sumuano dijo que aunque el estudio está en proceso, sí podría haber una relación entre el cáncer y la radiación que emiten las antenas de telefonía celular, radio, televisión o radiocomunicaciones. No obstante, indicó que el daño también podría ser potenciado por otros factores sociales y ambientales.

Recordó que en 2011 la Organización Mundial de la Salud alertó que las emisiones electromagnéticas de radiofrecuencia pueden considerarse posibles carcinógenos, lo que las equipara en peligrosidad al plomo.

Explicó que la radiación no ionizante puede dañar a quienes son más sensibles a las ondas electromagnéticas que emiten las antenas. Puede que muchas personas se sientan bien, pero si tengo esa hipersensibilidad y estoy muy expuesto, me detonará algún problema y a otra persona no, expuso. Algunos de los primeros síntomas que podrían tener son fatiga, náuseas o taquicardia, quepueden parecer normales.

La sobrexposición a estas radiaciones podría estar tan cerca como el techo de una casa o de un edificio de departamentos, pues existen empresas que pagan a los inquilinos para instalarlas pero sin advertir del daño que podría causar a mediano y largo plazos.

Una exposición elevada triplica el riesgo para los niños con algún tipo de cáncer, pues además de estar muy cerca de la radiación, también reciben el campo magnético en frecuencia baja (60 hercios) que emiten los transformadores que alimentan de energía eléctrica a las antenas.

Soto Sumuano subrayó que además la legislación mexicana en esta materia es muy laxa, para regular la instalación y ubicación de las antenas.

Milk-free cheese

Milk-free cheese made using human DNA strands

Sky News

Sky News2 days ago

San Francisco-based iGem group said it found a way to make cheese proteins using genetic sequences found in mammals.

The DNA blueprints are inserted into the yeast, which creates cheese that is vegan-compatible because of the lack of animal products.

Some of the DNA strands are from humans, because the developers hope milk proteins made from our own species will mean less chance of allergic reactions.

iGem has now hit its $15,000 (£8,790) goal on the Indiegogo crowdfunding website, to develop the cheese for mass market.

It claims that the product is the first vegan cheese - rather than a cheese substitute.

On its fundraising page, iGem said: "To create our proteins, we study animal genomes to find natural milk-protein genetic sequences.

"We optimise the genes for use in yeast and synthesise the resulting yeast milk protein DNA from scratch.

"This DNA is then put into yeast cells where the cellular machinery takes over and produces real milk-protein from the DNA blueprint provided by us."

The company said it "may be a while" before the finished product is ready for sale.

Regulations on food generated using genetically engineered organisms are complex, and more research needs to take place, it warned.

Perjeta Drug

Breast cancer drug delivers 'unprecedented' results

http://www.bbc.com/capital/specials/protection-now/research-technology/breast-cancer-drug-delivers-unprecedented-results_a-36-275.html

New treatment significantly extends lives during trial

A new breast cancer drug has demonstrated 'unprecedented' benefits in extending lives in a clinical trial.

Experts are now calling for it to be made widely available for women with aggressive strains of the disease.

Patients with a type of breast cancer called HER2 positive who were given Perjeta on top of established drug Herceptin and chemotherapy lived an average of 15.7 months longer than those on Herceptin and chemotherapy alone.

This is the longest extension to survival ever seen for a drug used to treat metastatic breast cancer.

"The results, I think, are phenomenal," said lead researcher Sandra Swain, of the Washington Hospital Center.

"The survival improvement of nearly 16 months is unprecedented among studies of metastatic breast cancer."

Perjeta and Herceptin are antibodies designed to block HER2, a protein produced by a cancer-linked gene. Perjeta attaches itself to a different part of the same protein, making combining the two drugs particularly effective.

Perjeta, developed by Swiss drugmaker Roche, was approved by regulators two years ago and recently tested in a study involving more than 800 women.

Researchers had previously reported that Perjeta extended progression-free survival - the period of time patients live without their disease worsening - but the overall survival data has taken longer to collate.

The results, announced earlier this week at the European Society for Medical Oncologyannual congress in Madrid, are a vindication of combining cancer drugs that fight the disease in different ways.
