Multi-Center VA Research Trial Reveals No Advantage to CABG Patients with Off-Pump Procedure
A study of 2,203 cardiac surgery patients from Veterans Affairs (VA) medical centers nationwide revealed that coronary-artery bypass grafting (CABG) completed “off-pump,” meaning without a heart-lung machine, had no advantages in patient outcomes compared to the traditional “on-pump” procedure. A. Laurie Shroyer, Ph.D., Professor of Preventive Medicine at Stony Brook University and the Northport VA Medical Center, and colleagues from 18 VA medical centers conducted by the VA Cooperative Studies Program Coordinating Center in Perry Point, reported their findings in the November 5 issue of The New England Journal of Medicine.

Ocean Acidification May Contribute To Global Shellfish Decline
Relatively minor increases in ocean acidity brought about by high levels of carbon dioxide have significant detrimental effects on the growth, development, and survival of hard clams, bay scallops, and Eastern oysters, according to researchers at Stony Brook University’s School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences. In one of the first studies looking at the effect of ocean acidification on shellfish, Stephanie Talmage, PhD candidate, and Professor Chris Gobler showed that the larval stages of these shellfish species are extremely sensitive to enhanced levels of carbon dioxide in seawater.

SBU-Led Study Of An Ancient Primate Counters Recent "Darwinius" Discovery As Possible "Missing Link"
A scientific analysis of a recently discovered adapiform, an ancient primate, reveals that the fossil, called Afradapis, is not on the evolutionary lineage of anthropoids (Old World Monkeys and higher primates, including humans) but instead more closely to lemurs and lorises.
