Natural chemical boosts organ regeneration
Your body naturally contains a chemical that can boost organ regeneration and speed up wound healing.
Epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs) help new blood vessels to form, so Dipak Panigrahy at Harvard Medical School in Boston and colleagues wondered whether they might also accelerate other types of growth. To find out, they injected mice with EETs straight after the surgical removal of a lung or part of their liver.
Four days later, treated mice had 23 per cent more tissue growth in their remaining lung or 46 per cent more liver growth compared with mice that had received a placebo injection. Applying EETs to wounds in mice shortened healing time.
The team also showed that EET concentrations in blood trebled in the week after human liver donors had undergone surgery.
"This looks promising," says Dan Weiss, who studies lung regeneration at the University of Vermont in Burlington.
"EETs have been overlooked in regeneration schemes, so this might provide a window of opportunity."

COLLEGE PARK, Ga. (AP) - Police in an Atlanta suburb have opened a homicide investigation after a man's body was found in a breezeway of an apartment building.
WXIA-TV reports (http://on.11alive.com/1e7R3ZM) that the body was found Tuesday morning at the Lakeside Reserve Apartments in College Park, just south of Atlanta. Police found the body after they were called to Building 19 at the complex on Lakemont Drive around 12:30 a.m. Tuesday.
College Park police Lt. Gerald Riser said investigators haven't determined how the man died, but they're treating the case as a homicide.
The man's name has not been released. Neighbors said he lived with his girlfriend at the apartment complex.

Run For Your Lives: Self-aware Hexapod Is Self-aware
Many of you have expressed some, um, concerns about a few of the bots we've covered in recent weeks. ATLAS, for instance, is quite frightening, but it's not yet self-aware. This tiny hexapod, however, is and it's rather unsettling.

Community Health's second quarter income drops on fewer patients
(Reuters) - Community Health Systems Inc reported a sharp decline in second-quarter profit on Monday, hurt by a drop in patient admissions at its hospitals and higher-than-expected bad debts.
Total admissions fell 5.1 percent in the quarter, compared with a year ago, the company said. Volumes were especially weak in May and June.
Community Health released preliminary results earlier this month, which sent its shares plunging. Monday's official quarterly results largely matched the preliminary figures.
Rising bad debts and declining admissions at hospitals in the still-weak economy are among the factors driving a wave of consolidations in the hospital sector. Patients are struggling with higher expenses for their medical care due to lack of insurance or larger deductibles.
Community Health is interested in a takeover bid for smaller hospital operator Health Management Associates, sources familiar with the matter told Reuters earlier this month.
Community Health on Monday said its second-quarter income from continuing operations was $47.1 million, or 32 cents a share, compared with $102.2 million, or 93 cents a share, a year ago.
Analysts on average had expected a profit of 33 cents a share, according to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S.
Net operating revenue slipped 0.2 percent to $3.24 billion compared with the year-ago quarter. The company said its earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization were $414.2 million in the second quarter, down from $483.1 million a year earlier.

NASA keeping an eye on Dorian's remnants

Former tropical storm still a remnant low pressure area
NASA and NOAA satellites continue to keep a close eye on the remnants of Tropical Storm Dorian as they make their way through the eastern Caribbean Sea.
On Saturday, July 27 at 11 a.m. EDT, Dorian was still a tropical storm, but that didn't last. Dorian was near 18.5N and 52.1W, about 720 miles (1,160 km) east of the Northern Leeward Islands. Dorian's maximum sustained winds were near 40 mph (65 kph) and it was moving to the west at 23 mph (37 kph).
By July 28, Dorian weakened to a remnant low pressure area. It was producing showers and thunderstorms that extended a few hundred miles northeast of the Northern Leeward Islands. Dorian's remnants passed north of the Leeward Islands on July 28.
On Monday, July 29, remnants of Doran and a trough (elongated area) of low pressure were generating disorganized clouds and thunderstorms a couple of hundred miles north of Puerto Rico. Those clouds were seen by NOAA's GOES-13 satellite. The GOES-13 satellite image captured on July 29 at 14:45 UTC (10:45 a.m. EDT) shows that Dorian seems to have regained a more rounded appearance. However, the National Hurricane Center noted that the disturbance still does not appear to have a closed low-level circulation and surface pressures remain high across the area. If pressure drops, it would be a sign that the low pressure area is consolidating, but that was not occurring during the morning of July 29.
GOES satellites are managed and operated by NOAA, and the GOES image was created by NASA's GOES Project at the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md.
Environmental conditions are expected to be only marginally conducive for regeneration to occur, and the National Hurricane Center gives Dorian's remnants a medium chance, about 40 percent of becoming a tropical cyclone again. The remnant low is moving to the west and is expected to move to the west-northwest in the next two days. As it continues moving it is expected to move across the Turks and Caicos Islands and the Bahamas on Tuesday and Wednesday, July 30 and 31.

WHITE HOUSE, Tenn.--Revolution Church spent the month of July working on Serve the City.? The congregation is doing various community service projects and their final one is Project Restoration. It is an extreme home makeover for the TC and Matt Bush.
The Bush family lost four children in the last six years. The couple has been married for more than a decade, and lost their first son Wayne in 2006. Wayne was stillborn. They miscarried their daughter, Serenity later that year.
The Bush's 3-year-old son, Casey drowned in their pool while in the care of a family-friend in April 2011.
The couple's fourth child, Angel? was miscarried last summer right before they discovered black mold in their Cottontown house.
Pastor Joe Everette said, " They've had a string of tragedies that I can't do nothing to fix, but this I can fix."
Revolution executive pastor Joe Everette is also a general contractor. He and the congregation decided to fix the Bush's home . TC and Matt Bush were living in their garage, due to mold infestation. The couple worked on the damage when they could afford it, and when they were not volunteering at the church.
Pastor Everette said the couple never once asked for help, but 100 volunteers turned out this weekend to help restore the house.?
"That's what? Project Restoration is about...we're restoring this house, so that the family can be restored."
? TC and Matt Bush said, " Thank you is not enough. It's amazing to be surrounded by people that just want to help."
Tune into Fox 17 next weekend for the final unveiling of the Bush's home.
