  • Cambios en la configuración del DNA pueden detectar tempranamente tipos de cancer

    En un comunicado de prensa de investigadores de la Universidad de John Hopkins dicen que identificando la secuencias del DNA y la nueva estructuración de los radicales del genoma, que ocurren solamente en las células cancerosas y no en las sanos es un hallazgo promisorio.  El método llamado PARE(siglas en Inglés) que sería como el Análisis Personalizado de Reconfiguración en los Radicales, ocurre exclusivamente en células enfermas.   Lo importante de este tipo de diagnóstico es que puede determinar en un paciente posterior a su cirugía para erradicar un tumor, si aun persisten células cancerosas.

     

    DNA changes can detect early cancers said researchers from  the U.S

    In  news said that by identifying changes in DNA of cancerous cells  U.S. researchers find a way of  early detection.
     
    The researchers at the  Johns Hopkins University said that by identifying the DNA sequences and the new rearrange of the radical genome that happen only in cancerous cells and not in the healthy one is a promising finding.  This method called PARE, for
    Personalized Analysis of Rearranged Ends, only happen in sick cells.    The most significant diagnosis is that this can tell if after a surgery to remove a cancer this was completely removed.

    The scientists are very hopeful that this method will be accessible to patients in the next two years.

Minimum Wage in Panama Raised To As High As $416 Per Month

Zone One - comprised of Panamá, Colón, San Miguelito, David, Santiago, Chitré, Aguadulce, Penonomé, La Chorrera, Arraiján and the District of Bocas del Toro - increases were approved from $33 to $95 dollars per month.

In other words, the new minimum wage will increase from from $357 to $416 per month.
December 22 2009 By OHIGGINIS ARCIA JARAMILLO for La Prensa - The waiting has ended. The Panamanian government issued an executive order yesterday establishing new minimum wages which will take effect starting 1 January 2010. This measure, which will put more money into the pockets of 250,000 workers, includes classifications into two zones. Zone One - comprised of Panamá, Colón, San Miguelito, David, Santiago, Chitré, Aguadulce, Penonomé, La Chorrera, Arraiján and the District of Bocas del Toro - increases were approved from $33 to $95 dollars per month. In other words, the new minimum wage will increase from from $357 to $416 per month. The rest of the country is in Zone Two, where minimum wages will increase from $31 to $95 per month. This means that the minimum wage will go from $349 to $ 416. For both areas, the minimum wage varies according to activity and occupation. Panama's president Ricardo Martinelli described the increase as "an act of justice never before seen in the past 50 years," however both employers and employees are unhappy with the decision. (Editor's Comment: Obviously, business owners wanted to pay less and employees wanted to get more, which is why both sides are "unhappy." In Panama most people work a 45 hour week or about 180 hours in a month. Even at the highest rate of $416 per month that still only works out to about $2.31 per hour. This increase will put about an additional $15.7 million dollars per month into circulation in the Panamanian economy, and of course employers will now increase their prices to pass additional labor costs onto the public, so expect prices to rise slightly across the board, especially in those businesses such as retail outlets and grocery stores that rely heavily on minimum wage workers.)
