Google Accuses China of Interfering With Gmail Service By Audrey Watters Again Google has problems with Chinese government because is interfering with Gmail. Internet users in China have reported difficulties to connect or that the service is too slow. While it´s had been made to look though that is a technical problem, Google confirms that they have checked extensively and that there is no technical problem on their side. The Guardian contends that the move by the Chinese government may be a response to the “Jasmine Revolution” –an online effort to spur pro-democracy efforts in China following the uprisings in the Middle East. Last year Google accused China of launching hacking attacks to gain access to the account of Chinese dissidents; the matter is that now Chinese Google users cannot fully accessed Gmail, YouTube, Blogger and Google Maps.

Prognosis: Study Finds Troubles With Gastric Band Surgery By RONI CARYN RABIN
Researchers had found that people are having medical complications with the gastric band surgery. More than a decade after having gastric band surgery for weight loss, patients had lost just 43 percent of their excess weight on average. In nearly half of the patients, the bands had been removed because of medical complications. Although the study included just 82 of 151 patients who had laparoscopic gastric band surgery at the hospital from 1994 to 1997, it is believed to be the first to track the outcomes over a long period. The bands eroded in almost one in three patients. Researchers concluded that the adjustable gastric band surgery, which is growing in popularity in the United States, “appears to result in relatively poor long-term outcomes.” The results “are worse than we expected,” said Dr. Jacques Himpens. Dr. Himpens advised those considering gastric band surgery not to “nourish exaggerated expectations,” adding that anyone who has had the procedure should see a care provider on a regular basis and be vigilant for signs of infection or band erosion.

Melanoma is being affecting more the highest-income areas women, that are like the nearly six times more likely to be given a diagnosis of malignant melanoma than those in the poorest areas. “We think this has to do with cultural preferences in higher-income groups for tanning, having the time to tan and the means to pay for tanning beds, and sun exposure on vacations in the middle of winter,” said Christina A.

Canine Genetic Wrinkle Has Human Potential Shar-peis are an ancient Chinese dog breed characterized by two singular traits: thick, wrinkly skin and frequent bouts of fever. Researchers now say that the same gene mutation is responsible for both the wrinkles and the fever. Scientists had discover that all shar–pei dogs have this mutation that causes wrinkles but the more copies they have, the higher the risk to have this fever. The wrinkles were a result of excess production of a substance called hyaluronic acid distributed throughout the dogs’ skin. That excess is likely caused by to the over activation of a gene called hyaluronan syntheses The fever closely resembles certain periodic fevers that humans inherit, and studying the mutation in the dogs could help human geneticists develop treatments.
