[AI] Cure for blindness 'within five years'
Cure for blindness 'within five years' Last Updated: 12:01am BST 06/06/2007 Roger Highfield - a real chance of success Pioneering stem cell transplants to restore the sight of people affected by a leading cause of blindness could start within five years, according to a British team which has reported successful human eye cell implants. Table with 2 columns and 2 rows 06/nstem106 What causes the blindness and how it could be cured using stem cells: click to enlarge table end More than 500,000 people in the UK have irreversible blindness caused by macular degeneration. The disease is marked by a progressive loss of central vision due to degeneration of the macula - a pigmented spot at the back of the retina. Now an anonymous American philanthropist, who saw his father go blind, has given a London-led team almost £4 million towards the cost of developing a stem cell therapy, where eye cells from an embryo are used to restore sight. Prof Pete Coffey and Lyndon da Cruz, an eye surgeon, of the UCL Institute of Ophthalmology, have teamed up with Prof Peter Andrews, of the University of Sheffield, to conduct trials. advertisement Macromedia Flash Movie Start Embedded Macromedia Flash Movie Macromedia Flash Movie end Mr da Cruz said yesterday: ''Given age- related macular degeneration could affect up to one third of the population by 2070 the potential to create a treatment strategy for this condition is critical and may have a major impact on vision loss in the community.'' The team estimates the stem cell implants could start within five years and eventually become a routine, 45-minute operation. Prof Coffey said: If it hasn't become routine in about 10 years it would mean we haven't succeeded. It has to be something that's available to large numbers of people. As a trial run for the operations, the team has repaired the vision of patients with macular degeneration with tissue from their own eyes, moving it from the region of the eye responsible for peripheral vision to the macula. The treatment is not initially aimed at the transparent skin of nerve cells that detect light but at an underlying carpet of cells called the retinal pigment epithelium, or RPE. RPE was transplanted by surgeons, without the use of stem cells in an experimental procedure on 12 patients at Moorfields Eye Hospital, London, using RPE taken from another site in their own retina. However, replacing RPE in what are long, complex operations is of limited benefit in treating common eye diseases such as macular degeneration. Mr Da Cruz, having transplanted and moved tissue in the eye, has seen more than 25 per cent of patients reporting an improvement in what is otherwise an untreatable disease, demonstrating that cell transplants work in principle. From stem cells taken from early human embryos, Prof Coffey has found a way to turn them into RPE cells by adding growth factors. The team has successfully tested this method on rats. Prof Alistair Fielder, senior medical adviser for the eye research charity Fight for Sight, said the project represents a real chance to tackle this untreatable condition and bring hope to many.

Re: [AI] any solution for virus in nokia 6600
Hi vetri! To restore my phone to its original factory settings, i did the same steps. My problem is that after cleaning the memory card and restoring the phone to its factory settings, as soon as i restore the data from memory card, phone gets infected. it seems my antivirus is not able to detect the virus on memory card and sincemy back up files are on it, i can't format the same. My point is how to clean the back up data on memory card so that phone doesn't get infected once data is restored? as i mentioned earlier, i have tried mcafee and symantech mobile security, but as per their scan results, no virus is there. anything else i should try out? any alternate tool?

Press the left soft key to okay it and then you will be asked to enter the security code. By default it is 12345 and you should remember if you have changed it.

Re: [AI] any solution for virus in nokia 6600
Dear Friend Actually speaking, your phone gets rid of viruses, using the different anti virus softwares. But the data, which you have backed up is infected with virus. That's the reason, the moment you restore the data, the virus pops up again. To resolve this either you will need to go to a professional person, who will clean your data then restore. Who may charge you a BOM. Or you will have to compromise with loosing your data. This is really not the option, we would be looking or opting for, but that's how the fact is. The above mentioned fact, is from my experience, hope you get a better option.

[AI] online risk due to ...
We believe you'll find this article quite interesting. BBC NEWS Online risk due to browser flaws Almost half the online population is at risk because users have not installed security updates to their browsers, says a study. The Swiss Institute of Technology, Google and IBM conducted the study and found 600 million users had not updated their browsers. Failure to apply patches promptly or missing them entirely is a recipe for disaster, the report said. Cyber criminals are frequently using websites to attack users, it added. The report authors recommended that a best before date, similar to the food industry, should be introduced to browsers, helping to educate users about the need to refresh their browser. Browsers are often patched by software providers to tackle recently discovered flaws and security holes. Criminals exploit these holes with malicious code hidden in websites to hijack machines. BROWSER MARKET SHARE* Internet Explorer 78% Firefox 16% Safari 3% Opera 1% *Source: Swiss Institute of Technology The study said Firefox users tended to use the most up-to-date versions, while Internet Explorer users were the slowest to update their browsers. More than 83% of Firefox users were using the latest, most secure browser version, compared to 65% of Safari users, 56% of Opera users and 47% of Internet Explorer users. The study said that not using the latest version of a browser was only one part of the security issues faced by net users. 'Insecurity iceberg' Dubbed the insecurity iceberg, the study said many users were at risk due to vulnerable plug-ins. Plug-ins are small programs which extend the features and functionality of some browsers. Vulnerable plug-ins that are accessible (and exploitable) through the web browser extend the insecurity iceberg and form the part hidden below the water surface, the report authors noted. The study said users were not updating to the latest version of a browser or plug-in fast enough. Our measurement confirmed that web browsers which implement an internal auto-update patching mechanism do better in terms of faster update adoption rates than those without, it said. The study commended the single-click update feature of Firefox's browser as the most efficient patching mechanism.

Re: [AI] any solution for virus in nokia 6600
Hai, You should try quickheal antivirus. You can download the demo from www.quickheal.com It is a very good antivirus. You can connect the mobile phone to the computer and scan the memory card with this antivirus. Before scanning, update the version of quickheal with the latest dated updates. Hope this helps, all the best. Warm regards. Dinesh thole.

Re: [AI] any solution for virus in nokia 6600
mcafee and symantech mobile security will not remove them since they are meant for mobile platform. Not sure of free virus cleaner for S60 phones. So perhaps someone else has to throw light on this subject. Does your memory card contain back-up files only related to your phone? If so, then I am afraid that your phone cannot be restored from those back-up files free of virus. If you are not able to format the memory card because of some crucial files not related to your phone, then perhaps you should simply move them to your system and format the memory card. That's why it is important that you create back-up of your phone memory when your phone is in it's best performing status. My assumption is that your phone already had virus when you created back-up and I am not sure whether any virus removal tool that can scann the compressed back-up files and detect virus since those viruses also could have been compressed along with your phone software files.

[AI] Volleyball goes the braille way in Chennai
Volleyball goes the braille way in Chennai Sam Daniel Tuesday, July 8, 2008 (Chennai) It's an annual event the visually challenged look forward to in Chennai - a volleyball tournament exclusively for them. This year, it was a fight between fifteen teams from all over south India. In this form of the game, the ball is thrown under the net and the players 'hear' the ball advancing towards them. The rules are strict. Those with partial vision are blind folded. ''It's a team effort. Since we are all in the same school we used to practice for a week and we get good understanding,'' says one of the participant girls. Now we want to participate in running, shot put, discus etc, she adds. And for the celebrity chief guests, witnessing the action was a moving experience. ''This puts us all to shame. We struggle with many small things in life. They show us how to live happily,'' says singer Anuradha Sriram. Other guests too feel the same. ''The way in which they are playing, I saw it for the first time. It's amazing,'' says R Sekar, Commissioner of Police, Chennai. But sadly, at the national level, there are not many events for the differently abled to showcase their talent and this effort by a local NGO is a model worth replicating.

[AI] Electronic Papyrus: (a News Story about the Launch of a New E-Book Reader)
Electronic Papyrus 12 Jul 2008, 0001 hrs IST Tablet sized e-Book readers that allow people to peruse their favourite authors on portable screens have several advantages over conventional paper tomes. Hundreds of books can be stored on the same device, readers can adjust text size and font and read in low or even no light. Although the device runs on electricity, the production of e-Books does not consume paper, ink and other resources used to produce printed books. Yet in spite of such obvious benefits e-Books have never really caught on with the same zing other devices like cellphones and hand-held personal music players have. One of the main reasons is that the act of reading a book is a complex, conditioned behaviour which involves and is associated with the feel, flexibility and even smell of paper. An e-Book reader, on the other hand, comes across as a hard, bulky machine where the page is made of glass and the print is way too glossy. All that could change, however, with the introduction of a new screen technology called organic thin-film-transistor which uses polymers rather than silicon and thus allows for more flexible materials. The result has been the launch of a new e-Book reader manufactured by a Dutch company, with an ultra-thin flexible screen that can be folded up and put in a pocket. If the new format catches on it could change reading habits far more dramatically than even DVDs, streaming video and MP3 players have changed the way we watch films or listen to music. That's because while the alternate big-screen or home theatre experience is still a viable - and, often, preferred - option as far as cinema and recordings are concerned, book reading cannot be enhanced any further, either socially or in any technical sense. But besides storage capacity, design and flexibility, other factors will also determine e-Books' success in the future. Text, for instance, can be searched automatically and cross-referenced using hyperlinks, making them ideal for any work which benefits from such functions. Also, since most offer wireless internet connectivity, books can be purchased and downloaded directly without having to visit a bookstore. This kind of ease of distributing text means that they can be used to stimulate higher sales of books and so help authors and publishers in the process too. http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/Electronic_Papyrus/rssarticleshow/3224777.cms Join Access India convention: For updates on it visit: http://accessindia.org.in/harish/convention.htm Registration is now open!
