Normally, when you suffer from a pulmonary embolism?a blood clot blocking the flow to your lungs or heart?you've only have two options; undergo chest-cracking open-heart surgery, or die. But thanks to an ingenious new blood filter system, doctors will be able to save lives without destroying sternums or requiring weeks of recovery.

End brinkmanship and pass spending bill, urges Obama
Washington (AFP) - As the US government careened toward a potentially devastating shutdown, President Barack Obama urged intransigent lawmakers to end their brinkmanship and pass a spending bill.
But with barely 72 hours before agencies are forced to close their doors Tuesday and more than a million US troops remain on duty without pay, Congress appeared no closer to resolution of a fiscal crisis that looms over Washington and the nation.
And Republicans driving the agenda in the House of Representatives, which will hold an emergency session Saturday to consider legislation to keep the government open, appeared to struggle over the way forward.
The president hailed the Senate for clearing a stopgap federal funding measure Friday that knocked the ball into the House's court, where a diehard conservative faction is bent on thwarting Obama's health care law.
The Republican-led lower chamber will likely tweak the bill and send it back to the Senate, which could leave insufficient time for the legislation to pass both chambers before a fiscal year-end deadline of midnight Monday.
"Over the next three days, House Republicans will have to decide whether to join the Senate and keep the government open or shut it down because they can't get their way," Obama said.
Republicans, overwhelmingly opposed to so-called Obamacare, inserted a provision in the House measure that strips funding for the health care law, but the Democratic-led Senate removed it and sent the bill back.
Some Republicans would now like to see the health care law fight shift to the next fiscal battle -- over the debt ceiling.
The Treasury says it will reach its $16.7 trillion borrowing cap by October 17, and if Congress does not raise it the country will default on its debts for the first time in history.
The president said a default "would have a profound destabilizing effect on the entire economy -- on the world economy."
"We've got to break this cycle," Obama added. "My message to Congress is this: do not shut down the government. Do not shut down the economy. Pass a budget on time. Pay our bills on time."
With the mere threat of a shutdown likely having "a dampening effect on the economy," Obama suggested it was time for House Speaker John Boehner to isolate the "extremists" who are holding the Republican Party captive.
But that had yet to happen. The leadership of the House was crafting a bill that would raise the debt limit, delay the health care law's implementation by one year, greenlight the controversial Keystone oil pipeline and lower taxes for the wealthy.
Obama said he is willing to negotiate on such issues, "but we're not going to do this under the threat of blowing up the entire economy."
"Nobody gets to threaten the full faith and credit of the United States just to extract political concessions," Obama said.
House leaders insist they do not want a shutdown or a default, but Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said his chamber's bill was the only one that could prevent a shutdown.
"This is it. Time is gone," Reid said after the Senate voted along strict party lines to approve federal funding until November 15.
The Democrat also challenged Boehner to schedule a House vote on the stripped-down budget bill, saying it would pass "overwhelmingly if the speaker had the courage to bring it to the floor."
"I think they should think very carefully about their next step," Reid added.
Some Republicans have spoken out about their conservative colleagues' strategy, warning of a backlash should government shut down.
"If anybody creates a process where our military doesn't get paid, and their families, they're going to make an enemy ... of me for life," Senator Lindsey Graham fumed to Roll Call.
As the clock ticks down, Republicans stressed that Obama was merely commenting from the sidelines, not meeting with or even calling Boehner this week to thrash out a compromise.
"Grandstanding from the president, who refuses to even be a part of the process, won't bring Congress any closer to a resolution," Boehner spokesman Brendan Buck said.
With Congress and the White House feuding, the Pentagon announced worrying details of how a stoppage would effect the department.
It said the military's 1.4 million troops will remain on duty in the event of a shutdown, but not get paid until Congress appropriated funds to compensate them.
And if government agencies close, half the Defense Department's nearly 800,000 civilian workers would be ordered to stay home.

Syria rebel chief: extremists 'stealing revolution'
Beirut (AFP) - The head of the key Syrian opposition National Coalition, Ahmad Jarba, has denounced extremists he said were trying to "steal our revolution", and blamed the regime for supporting them.
He made the comments in an address in New York to representatives from the Friends of Syria -- international backers of the rebels seeking to overthrow President Bashar al-Assad.
"The Syrian people support peace and moderation, tolerance and coexistence," Jarba said.
"The phenomenon of extremism appeared with the support and planning of the regime, which has gambled on the transformation of a revolution for freedom into a civil and sectarian war," he added.
The Syrian regime "created and armed numerous terrorist organisations and left them a place in the regions from which it has been removed," he said.
"Other groups have come across the borders to steal our revolution."
An unknown number of foreign fighters has streamed into Syria to join jihadist rebel groups such as the Al-Qaeda-affiliated Al-Nusra Front and Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL).
They include fighters from Europe, the Middle East and Chechnya.
Rebels initially welcomed the jihadist groups and the foreign fighters who joined them, eager for weapons and battle experience.
But in recent months, relations have been tense, particularly between ISIL and non-jihadist rebel factions, which have clashed on occasion.
This week, some of the biggest non-jihadist battalions formed an alliance that includes Al-Nusra, and announced their rejection of the Coalition that Jarba heads.
He told the meeting, on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly, that extremism "has increased because of the indifference of the international community, which has failed in its duties to the Syrian people".
The opposition has repeatedly called on its international backers to provide it with weapons, but the West has been reluctant to do so for fear of the arms falling into the hands of groups such as Al-Nusra, which is listed as a "terrorist" organisation by much of the West.
Despite setbacks, Jarba insisted that the only solution to the conflict would be Assad's departure.
"There is no horizon for the Syrians before the fall of the regime," he said.
"When it goes, Syrians will regain their freedom and civil peace and harmony will be restored."

In prostate cancer prognosis, telomere length may matter

Johns Hopkins Medicine
Like the plastic caps at the end of shoelaces, telomeres protect in their case the interior-gene containing parts of chromosomes that carry a cell's instructional material. Cancer cells are known to have short telomeres, but just how short they are from cancer cell to cancer cell may be a determining factor in a prostate cancer patient's prognosis, according to a study led by Johns Hopkins scientists.
"Doctors are looking for new ways to accurately predict prostate cancer patients' prognoses, because the current methods that use disease stage, Gleason score, and PSA are not perfect," says Alan Meeker, Ph.D., assistant professor of pathology at The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and its Kimmel Cancer Center. "Telomere shortening is common in cancer, but the degree of shortening varies from one cancer cell to another within each patient, and this variability may give us a better idea of how prostate cancers behave."
In the study, described in the October issue of Cancer Discovery, the scientists studied tissue samples from 596 men surgically treated for prostate cancer thought to be confined to the prostate and who were participants in a long-term follow-up study on men's health. Then, they used images of prostate cancer cells and nearby cells called stroma, which include smooth muscle and fibroblast cells, taken from surgery-tissue samples of each patient.
Meeker and his team used a technique they developed called telomere-specific fluorescent in situ hybridization (TELI-FISH) to measure telomere length in cancer and stromal cells. The technique uses fluorescent-labeled probes specific for particular locations in DNA, and is commonly used to detect or confirm gene or chromosome abnormalities. In the new study, a fluorescent probe specific for telomere regions was added to the cells, enabling the scientists to identify these specific chromosomal locations under a microscope and measure the level of fluorescence that corresponds to telomere length.
After determining telomere length for more than 40,000 cells among the samples, disease-pattern experts at Johns Hopkins then correlated telomere length measurements in the cancer and stromal cells with each patient's survival.
"Men who had a combination of more variable telomere length among cancer cells and shorter telomere length in stromal cells were more likely to develop metastatic disease and die sooner from their prostate cancer than other men," says Elizabeth Platz, Sc.D., M.P.H., professor of epidemiology at The Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health and the Martin D. Abeloff Scholar in Cancer Prevention at the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center.
In the group of 98 men with more variable telomere length in cancer cells and shorter telomeres in stromal cells, 20 died of their prostate cancer an average of 8.4 years after diagnosis. Accounting for standard prognostic factors, these men were 14 times more likely to die of their prostate cancer compared with another group of 98 men whose telomeres had less variable length among cancer cells and were longer in stromal cells. In this group, only one man died, and that was after 16.5 years.
"Our studies strongly suggest that the combination of telomere length in stromal cells and its variability among prostate cancer cells could be a marker for prostate cancer prognosis," says Platz.
Meeker and Platz are continuing to study additional groups of patients and are now using an automated fluorescence microscope and computer software to speed the collection of tissue images and extract telomere data.

Lamar Odom's Father Joe Takes Back Kardashian Comments After Son's Twitter Post
Now, TMZ is reporting that Joe is sorry he lashed out at the famous reality family and said they were ?wonderful.? Earlier, however, he had said, ?They don?t give a f--k about my son.? He told the news site that a segment on ?The Wendy Williams Show? is was set him off because one of the guests said he was a heroin addict. But Joe told TMZ he has been clean for 30 years, adding, ?Nobody?s perfect.?
His prompt change in heart could have been when his son took to his Twitter account, for the first time in more than two months. First, Odom tweeted with a succinct, ?Seeing the snakes,? and then went on to condemn his father?s comments and defend the Kardashian family that has ?loved him" in an extended post.?
Odom never directly addressed Joe as his father, or by his name, and didn?t specifically write ?Kardashian? anywhere in his post, but instead referred to them as ?family.?
?He wasn't there 2 raise me. He was absent ALL of my life due to his own demons,? Odom wrote. He said his mother and grandmother raised them, but then praised the family he ?married into.?
?He disrespecting the ONLY FAMILY that has loved me without expecting anything in return. They are the ONLY ones that have been here consistently 4 me during this dark time,? he wrote about the Kardashians.
Khloe Kardashian and Odom have been at the center of controversy ever since rumors began to swirl that the former Los Angeles Lakers star cheated on her with multiple women and was abusing hard drugs. The reality star recently dropped ?Odom? from her social media profiles changed her picture so Odom was no longer in it.?
