SANTA ROSA, Calif., April 8, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Canine Companions®, the nonprofit organization that transforms the lives of children, adults, and veterans with disabilities, by providing them with expertly trained service dogs free of charge, announces the launch of the groundbreaking CanineAlert™ Device. For many veterans, PTSD-induced nightmares are a debilitating aspect of daily life impacting sleep quality, overall well-being and daily functioning. Canine Companions® expertly trained service dogs already support veterans experiencing PTSD but the addition of this device alerts the service dogs earlier and enables them to interrupt PTSD episodes earlier, leading to a shorter recovery period process. The CanineAlert™ Device integrates state-of-the-art technology with the specialized training of Canine Companions® service dogs, offering a more comprehensive solution to the traumatic nightmares experienced by veterans living with the symptoms of PTSD.

  • The CanineAlert™ Device integrates state-of-the-art technology with the specialized training of Canine Companions® service dogs, offering a more comprehensive solution to the traumatic nightmares experienced by veterans living with the symptoms of PTSD.
  • The CanineAlert™ Device, developed and patented by Canine Companions® in-house team, monitors the wearer's heart rate and wirelessly communicates with a collar device worn by the service dog.
  • "Our CanineAlert™ Device is a significant advancement in mitigating the impacts of PTSD," says Paige Mazzoni, CEO of Canine Companions®.
  • Canine Companions® developed the CanineAlert™ Device to improve upon one of the most popular skills among Canine Companions® service dogs, the ability to recognize active nightmares and intervene by pulling off blankets or otherwise waking their humans and interrupting the episode.

An awkward family reunion: Sea monsters are our cousins

Wednesday, February 21, 2024

KANSAS CITY, Mo., Feb. 21, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The sea lamprey, a 500-million-year-old animal with a sharp-toothed suction cup for a mouth, is the thing of nightmares. A new study from the Stowers Institute for Medical Research discovered that the hindbrain—the part of the brain controlling vital functions like blood pressure and heart rate—of both sea lampreys and humans is built using an extraordinarily similar molecular and genetic toolkit.

Key Points: 
  • The team unexpectedly uncovered that a crucial molecular cue is very broadly required during vertebrate hindbrain development.
  • Because most vertebrates, including humans, have jaws, this striking difference in sea lampreys makes them valuable models for understanding the evolution of vertebrate traits.
  • Surprisingly, they found that the sea lamprey core hindbrain circuit is also initiated by retinoic acid, providing evidence that these sea monsters and humans are much more closely related than anticipated.
  • "People thought that because sea lampreys lack a jaw, their hindbrain was not formed like other vertebrates," said Krumlauf.

A More Just World Is Possible with Just One Rule

Tuesday, February 20, 2024

NEW YORK, Feb. 20, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The United Nations Charter, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and its covenants would suffice to make our world a just world for all. Yet, the global community does not respect its commitments to these international legal frameworks. It is not complicated. 

Key Points: 
  • We just need to follow one rule underpinning them, the Golden Rule: 'Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.'
  • Unjust and inhumane wars and atrocities are raging in the Middle East, in Sudan and across sub-Saharan Africa, in Ukraine and beyond.
  • These are legally binding commitments, which can be truly simplified down to a single universal rule: the Golden Rule.
  • Increasingly, armed conflicts, atrocities and human rights violations are committed daily against vulnerable, innocent children and youth in nearly every region of the world.
