CFA about 2 years, I took the Dec exams, then 2 June exams. All one shot one kill. Those courses I took are tied to my work and paid by my company so if 2 or 3 shot 1 kill the boss will find someone to take my seat. SG heavy on papers. Investment just whack casino big small lo, high return high risk. Low risk high return you would be looking at Toto.

NTU team uses dead bacteria to kill colorectal cancer cells

Scientists from the university harnessed Clostridium sporogenes bacteria, commonly found in soil, to effectively destroy colon tumour cells.

SINGAPORE: Scientists from Nanyang Technological University (NTU) have used dead bacteria commonly found in soil to kill colorectal cancer cells.

In a news release issued on Monday (Nov 9), NTU said that a team led by Professor Teoh Swee Hin harnessed the Clostridium sporogenes (C. sporogenes) bacteria in its dead form, and its secretions, to effectively destroy colon tumour cells.

The team conducted the experiments in artificially-created environments resembling the inside of a human body, rather than on a flat surface in a petri-dish, NTU said.

In a 72-hour experiment, the inactive bacteria were able to reduce the growth of colon tumour cells by 74 per cent.

The team tested the secretions harvested from a live bacteria culture and these secretions reduced the growth of colon tumour cells by as much as 83 per cent.

NTU said that traditional cancer treatments like chemotherapy and radiotherapy do not work well in the colon due to reduced blood flow and lack of oxygen and nutrient flow. It said that these therapies use oxygen molecules to damage the DNA of cancer cells and rely on blood flow to transport therapeutic drugs to the tumour.

"In contrast, the NTU team showed that dead C. sporogenes bacteria can kill tumour cells in an oxygen-starved tumour microenvironment," said NTU.

"We found that even when the C. sporogenes bacteria is dead, its natural toxicity continues to kill cancer cells, unlike the conventional chemotherapy drugs which need oxygen to work,” explained Prof Teoh.

Prof Teoh said that other research groups have experimented with live bacteria to destroy cancer cells, but this treatment posed a risk of infection as live bacteria will grow and proliferate.

“In the NTU study, as the bacteria were already killed by heat, there was no risk of the bacteria multiplying and causing more harm than the desired dose meant to kill colorectal cancer cells.”

Professor James Best, Dean of NTU’s Lee Kong Chian School of Medicine, said: “This is a significant discovery that potentially opens a new avenue to tackle this very common cancer, which is difficult to treat after it has spread. While it is early days, this exciting research finding provides hope of a new treatment option for millions of people affected by bowel cancer each year.”

This study was published in the journal Scientific Reports in October.

According to the Health Promotion Board, colorectal cancer is the number one cancer in Singapore and the foremost cancer among males here.

Hi there, can I know the minimum requirement for Malaysian students to enroll into NUS/NTU?

If you have IELTS and MUET as your english qualifications, which one they will consider first?

NUS graduates ranked 17th most employable in the world: Global survey

SINGAPORE: The National University of Singapore (NUS) places 17th in the world in a ranking that measures how universities perform on graduate employability.

In a press release on Thursday (Nov 12), NUS said this was an improvement from 2014 when it ranked 39th. NUS is now also the only Singapore university among the world's top 20.

The Global Employability University Ranking surveyed more than 2,200 recruiters from 21 countries, who were asked to vote for the universities that - based on their professional experience - were producing the best "ready-for-work" graduates, said NUS.

NUS deputy president for academic affairs Professor Tan Eng Chye said that the ranking is a "strong affirmation of the quality of NUS graduates and the university's focus on producing 'future-ready' graduates".

"It is a proud moment for NUS and Singapore," said Prof Tan, adding that it is vital to prepare students to be "agile and adaptable, with the right mindset towards lifelong learning".

The survey also asked recruiters to answer questions about the ideal attributes of graduates and universities, and found that many form preferences for certain universities largely based on three top factors: Past experience with graduates, international exposure graduates had at the universities and level of expertise.
