EVERGLADES NATIONAL PARK, Fla. - Federalofficials say 10 pilot whales have died after stranding in shallow water in aremote area of Everglades National Park. Blair Mase of the National Oceanic andAtmospheric Administration said more than 40 whales have been swimming in about 3 feet ofwater. Mase also said four of the pilot whaleswere euthanized Wednesday.

Linda Friar with Everglades NationalPark told CBS Miami that rangers received a phone call Tuesday about four whalesthat had beached themselves in a remote area of the park near Highland Beach innorthern Monroe County. Rangers went out to investiga

When we think of medicine, we usually think of the treatment: drugs, surgery, therapy. But before all that comes the diagnosis鈥攁 tricky proposition when
stanley spain symptoms are confusing and information scant. Now for the first time ever, doctors were able to use rapid DNA sequencing to identify an obscure bacterium in time to save a boy life. This
water bottle stanley is an absolutely great story 鈥?it a tremendous tour de force, a researcher not involved in the study told theNew York Times. For weeks, the brain of a 14-year-old boy had been swelling, and he fell into a coma. What he had was encephalitis, which has enough syllables to sound like a diagnosis but really just means an infection in the brain, pathogen unknown. Encephalitis could be caused by anything from a bacterium to a virus to a fungus. So his doctors turned to DNA sequencing. Using a method called unbiased next-generation sequencing,
stanley cups uk they extracted all DNA from the boy cerebrospinal fluid and searched for fragments belonging to a pathogen. Within 48 hours, they found the culprit, an obscure bacterium called Leptospira santarosai. Diagnosis in hand, the doctors knew how to treat the infection. While DNA sequencing has certainly identified pathogens in patients before, it had been far too slow for emergency situations like this. Sifting through millions of fragments takes a lot of computer power and鈥攃rucially鈥攖ime. The new advance is a piece of software that analyses the DNA more quickly than ever b
