Researchers are reporting a key advance in using stem cells to repair hearts damaged by heart attacks.
In a study in Miami and Baltimore, stem cells donated by strangers proved as safe and effective as patients' own cells for helping restore heart tissue, allowing the heart to pump more effectively.

Hare, director of the Interdisciplinary Stem Cell Institute, performs a heart biopsy, a preliminary step in one of several cardiac stem cell trials at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine. Researchers are reporting key advances using stem cells to fix weakened, damaged hearts. In one study, bone marrow cells donated by unrelated strangers helped repair hearts, suggesting that cells could be banked for off-the-shelf use in patients after heart attacks the way blood is banked now. (AP Photo/University of Miami) CloseThe work involved just 30 patients, but proves the concept that anyone's cells can be used to treat such cases. Doctors are excited because this suggests that stem cells could be banked for off-the-shelf use in patients after heart attacks the way blood is saved now.
Stem cell therapy reduced the scarred area of patients' hearts by about one third. Results were discussed Monday at a heart conference in California.

COLUMBUS, Ohio?Tightly knotted Ohio has become this year?s Making-of-the-President state, pivotal to the White House strategies of Barack Obama and especially Mitt Romney. Amid all the victory hype by both sides, Republican and Democratic insiders surprisingly agree about the idiosyncratic rhythms and odd contours of Election Night in the Buckeye state.
Based on bipartisan interviews conducted with the promise of no-quotes-please anonymity, I have put together this likely scenario for Election Night return-watching in Ohio:
Around 8:30 p.m. (the Ohio polls close at 7:30 p.m.), the first big wave of returns will sweep onto the tote boards. These are the absentee ballots and early votes (maybe 35 percent of the statewide total of about 5.8 million) that the Democrats have been particularly aggressive in harvesting. At this moment, Obama will almost certainly hold his biggest Ohio lead of the evening in percentage terms.
That Obama margin will dwindle throughout the evening as the returns from Ohioans who waited until Election Day to vote are added to the total. By 3 a.m. Wednesday morning, when virtually all the statewide votes have been tallied, Romney may have moved into the lead. Does that mean that the Republicans can claim Ohio?s 18 electoral votes?
Not so fast. For in the wee hours Wednesday morning, the counties will begin their count of the provisional ballots. These are votes that have been challenged for a wide variety of legitimate reasons. They include: Ohioans who are not registered; registered voters who moved but failed to update their addresses; people who showed up at the right polling place but were directed to the wrong precinct; voters who did not bring proper identification to the polls; and those who requested an absentee ballot but decided to vote in person.
Before anyone shouts, ?Voter suppression,? please understand that the bulk of these provisional ballots eventually will be counted. In 2008, around 80 percent of the provisional ballots were ultimately accepted and that figure rose to about 90 percent in the 2010 gubernatorial race. Recent Ohio history has shown that the provisional ballots tilt strongly Democratic when they are finally tallied. And that is what could make Republicans very nervous as Tuesday night flows into Wednesday morning.
The rough Republican rule of thumb is that Romney requires a statewide lead of, at least, 50,000 votes to survive the provisional ballot phase of the Ohio long count. The requisite Election Night margin for Romney may, in fact, need to be higher. It all depends on the number of provisional ballots plus valid absentee ballots (postmarked Monday or earlier), which are still in the mail. And despite the best efforts of the secretary of state?s office to release an accurate count of disputed and missing ballots Wednesday morning, the final numbers will probably trickle in from Ohio?s 88 counties over the following few days.
At this point, under some plausible scenarios, neither Obama nor Romney may be able to claim the White House without Ohio?s 18 electoral votes. Despite the whole-world-is-watching drama, events on stage in Ohio will begin to unfold at the pace of Freudian analysis.
Nothing will happen in public for 10 long days as the counties assess the validity of each provisional ballot. Finally, between the 11th and 15th day after the Election (November 17-21), counties will begin tallying the results from the accepted provisional ballots. Unless, of course, there are further delays from legal challenges.
Small wonder that at least one Ohio election lawyer is already half-seriously worrying about his holiday trip out of state. No, not for Thanksgiving?for New Year?s Eve.
Now, for what I have seen on the ground in Ohio: The single campaign event that best emblemizes the micro-politics of the battleground state over the last few days was Obama?s late Friday afternoon rally at Lima Senior High School.
Incumbent presidents rarely come to Lima (pronounced like a lime rather than a city in Peru). It?s a gritty, industrial town (population: 39,000) in a Republican county on the southern fringes of the Toledo media market. This is not a standard political destination?especially four days before an election.
Sure, Harry Truman whistle-stopped through Lima in mid-October 1948 promising in a five-minute speech from the back of his campaign train, ?I?m going to take the hide off [the Republicans] from head to toe.? And Ronald Reagan, borrowing Truman?s Pullman railroad car and his itinerary, told a track-side rally four weeks before the 1984 election that Democrat Walter Mondale was ?taxing my patience? and everything else.
But that was pretty much it until Obama got away from the railroad tracks to hold a full-throttle campaign rally here. Addressing more than 3,500 area Democrats, Obama highlighted another form of transportation as he declared, ?Look, I understand Governor Romney has had a tough time here in Ohio because he was against saving the auto industry.?
What mattered, though, were not the president?s words, but his physical presence. The Obama visit was designed to wring every last vote out of Allen County (Lima and the farm land that surrounds it) where the president received just 19,522 votes in 2008. The morning-after front page of The Lima News underscored the benefits of this small-town strategy: The Saturday front page was all Obama, and featured three photographs of the president and the banner headline, ?BETTING ON HOPE.?
If Obama wins Ohio, where he has been leading in almost every published poll for the last month, Democrats have a three-part explanation. ?The first reason would be the auto industry bailout,? said veteran Ohio political strategist Greg Haas, who now heads the Franklin County (Columbus) Democratic Party. ?The second reason is the auto industry bailout and the third reason is the auto industry bailout.?
That is, of course, an exaggeration. Other pro-Obama factors include the fast-recovering Ohio economy (the statewide unemployment rate is down to 7 percent) and the politically successful demonization of Romney as a job-destroying businessman with Cayman Island bank accounts and a disdain for 47 percent of the nation. In addition, an NBC News/WSJ/Marist Poll, released Saturday, found that a whopping 73 percent of Ohio voters approve of the president?s handling of the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy.
But the revival of the Ohio auto industry is key. Not only is the venerable Lima Ford Engine Plant expanding, but so is the non-union Honda plant in nearby Anna (Shelby County). After the Obama speech, Mike Knisley, from the local Pipefitters union who is the president of the Ohio building trades council, gushed about the construction jobs that are being created at the Ford plant: ?I?ve got 200 tradesman out there working right now.?
When asked about Obama?s long-standing problems with blue-collar white male voters in places like Lima, Knisley volunteered an explanation: race. ?It?s the race thing that I just addressed with my apprentices last night,? he said. ?I told them that they just had to get over it.?
As darkness fell over Lima late Friday afternoon, there was only one possible next stop for many Democrats from the Obama rally. It was the nearest branch of Kewpee Hamburgers, a Lima institution that is part of the remnants of America?s second-oldest burger chain. (Columbus-based White Castle is slightly older, but there is no comparison between the taste of cardboard and a genuine Kewpee burger).
It was at Kewpee that I interviewed for the first time during the entire campaign the political version of the unicorn?a 2008 John McCain voter who is switching to Obama. Her name is Marcy Hughes, and she runs a branch library and lives in the nearby hamlet of Harrod. The mother of two sons (one studying at the Lima branch of Ohio State and the other recently graduated from college), Hughes is attracted by Obama?s support of the federal student loan program.
But even though her husband (who missed the Obama rally and dinner at Kewpee?s) is the type of small businessman lionized by Romney, Hughes does not relate to the GOP nominee?s ?You built that? rhetoric. In fact, she doesn?t relate to Romney at all: ?I don?t feel that he?s for the middle class. And that?s what we all are around here.?
During what promises to be a very long night Tuesday in Ohio, I will be looking at the returns from the Lima area. And thinking about how the 2009 decision to rescue General Motors and Chrysler may well have saved Obama?s presidency.

But when her favorite beauty college and all of its pampering products was destroyed in a fire on a Friday the 13th in April, her hair didn?t suffer and neither did her nails.
The Sand Springs Beauty College was planning on moving to a new site anyway at the Adams Road Shopping Center and did so in June. Temporarily they operated at its other location in Jenks.
?I really feel like they treat me royally,? said Powell, 77, a regular client since the 1980s. ?I can come in feeling really down and just the atmosphere really lifts my spirits. The girls are so pleasant here.?
Though Powell had to give up a few things when her husband died to stay within her means financially, she and her sons decided that Thursday?s hair and nails extravaganza wasn?t one of them, especially at the student-apprentice cut rate.
?They said, ?Don?t cut out your Thursday pampering ? you deserve that,? Powell said. ?I said I?ll cut out other things before I cut that out.?
Powell?s curler set, a basic skill aspiring hairstylists must master, will last a week. ?If it doesn?t hold, I know it?s time to get a permanent,? she said.
Though the prior location downtown had lots of memories and was one of the city?s original buildings, owner Myra Sellers said she, the students and clients are enjoying the much bigger remodeled space at 510 Plaza Ct., the former Bealls Department Store.
?Everything is so new, clean and shiny,? Powell said. ?We?re just basking in all the newness.?

President of UTECH Professor Errol Morrison officially appointed Fraser-Pryce yesterday at the university's graduation ceremony held at the National Arena in Kingston. It was also announced at that time that an assessment centre for children with disabilities, to be established in the School of Allied Health and Wellness, will be named the Shelly-Ann Fraser Assessment Centre for Children.
In explaining the reason behind the appointment, UTECH said Fraser-Pryce ?has demonstrated significant interest in the university and consistently exudes UTECH pride... (and) she possesses the high standards of integrity to positively reflect and enhance the reputation of the University of Technology.?
For the new children assessment centre being named in her honour, the dean of the College of Health Sciences, Associate Professor Dr Ellen Campbell-Grizzle said the Olympian, who graduated with a BSc in Child Adolescent Development ?exemplifies the best attributes of a conscientious student, superb athlete and a remarkable human being?.
As an ambassador of UTECH, Fraser-Pryce will reflect or personify the values of the university; strive to convey the value of a life-long relationship between the university and all stakeholders both nationally and internationally; serve as official representative of the president/university at designated events for which they may be selected to attend or for university advancement activities. Ambassadors may be appointed for a term of five years and are eligible for reappointment.
For her part Fraser-Pryce expressed that ?I definitely look forward to carrying the UTECH flag high where ever I go because when I started the programme in 2008 I was told it wouldn't be possible, I was told it was not for me. But here at UTECH it is a family and I am truly honoured to be part of a family that truly cares about me so much... I am really grateful for being given the opportunity to join such a prestigious institution.?
