HIGH WYCOMBE, England, May 15 /PRNewswire/ -- A new clinical study published today in Biological Psychiatry adds weight to the growing body of evidence that adults suffering from attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) may respond to treatment.(1)

Hydroxyl is made up of a hydrogen and oxygen atom each. It has been found on another planet for the first time - in the upper reaches of the atmosphere of Venus, some 100 km above the surface - by Venus Express’s Visible and Infrared Thermal Imaging Spectrometer, VIRTIS. It is thought to be important for any planet’s atmosphere because it is highly reactive. On Earth it has a key role in purging pollutants from the atmosphere.

The OH “radical” is a very special and reactive molecule, which is unusual in conventional chemistry because of its reactivity. This detection gives scientists an important new tool to unlock the workings of Venus’s dense atmosphere.

The elusive molecule was detected by turning the spacecraft away from the planet and looking along the faintly visible layer of atmosphere surrounding the planet’s disc. The instrument detected the hydroxyl molecules by measuring the amount of infrared light that they give off.

Physicists at Penn State say they have provided a mechanism by which information can be recovered from black holes; objects from which, according to Einstein's theory of general relativity, not even light can escape. The team's findings pave the way toward ending a decades-long debate sparked by renowned physicist Steven Hawking.

In the 1970s, Hawking stated that black holes evaporate by quantum processes; however, he asserted that information, such as the identity of matter that is gobbled up by black holes, is permanently lost. At the time, Hawking's assertion threatened to turn quantum mechanics--the most successful physical theory posited by humankind--on its head, since a fundamental tenet of the theory is that information cannot be lost.

Hawking's idea was generally accepted by physicists until the late 1990s, when many began to doubt the assertion. Even Hawking himself renounced the idea in 2004. Yet no one, until now, has been able to provide a plausible mechanism for how information might escape from a black hole. A team of physicists led by Abhay Ashtekar, Holder of the Eberly Family Chair in Physics and director of the Penn State Institute for Gravitation and the Cosmos, say they have discovered such a mechanism. Broadly, their findings expand space-time beyond its assumed size, thus providing room for information to reappear.

APPENZELL, Switzerland, May 15 /PRNewswire/ -- Ergonex Pharma today announced that the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted orphan drug designation to Terguride for the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). Terguride is currently being evaluated for PAH in a pivotal Phase II trial in Europe.

"The FDA's grant of orphan drug designation to Terguride for PAH encourages and strengthens our development program by offering regulatory, clinical development and commercial benefits," said Dr Rudolf Reiter, CEO of Ergonex Pharma. "We believe that Terguride can provide a significant therapeutic benefit in PAH by inhibiting excess serotonin signalling."
