LEEDS, England, May 13 /PRNewswire/ -- In a bid to help alleviate the current "demographic timebomb" facing pharmacy in the UK, Teva UK Limited, the UK's leading generics manufacturer, is launching a Student Bursary Scheme.

The company is a keen supporter of pharmacy in the UK, and already has several initiatives in place to help pharmacists make the most of their role in the ever-changing UK healthcare climate.

The Student Bursary will be available to students who want to gain a degree-level qualification in pharmacy or similar but may suffer hardship without additional financial support.

Patients suffering from “hemineglect” ignore things presented to their left side. However, sometimes these ignored stimuli may be processed without awareness.

In a paper published in Cortex Issue 6, Sackur and colleagues reported that unconscious processing in hemineglect is not limited to low level features of the stimuli. They showed that the brain may extract the meaning of symbols that the patient has not consciously perceived. Thus, digits or number words presented on the left side were not detected by hemineglect patients, but still their numerical value influenced the way these patients performed on a numerical task presented shortly thereafter.

Not the case in Europe. They are using technology from the European Space Agency to allow internet addicts to get their fix even in mass transit. Thalys is launching full commercial operations for a wireless broadband internet service on board high speed trains, the result of their project "Broadband to trains."

It enables the international railway company to deliver true broadband internet access to passengers travelling between Paris, Brussels, Amsterdam and Cologne.
