Guideline: Vertigo can be treated easily and quickly
A new guideline developed by the American Academy of Neurology found that the best treatment for vertigo is the easiest and quickest one. (2008-05-27)
Study identifies food-related clock in the brain
In investigating the intricacies of the body's biological rhythms, scientists at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC) have discovered the existence of a "food-related clock" which can supersede the "light-based" master clock that serves as the body's primary timekeeper. (2008-05-23)
Old antibiotic may find new life as a stroke treatment

However, these problems aren't caused by the surgery itself or the pump used to replace heart function during surgery, a new study by Johns Hopkins researchers suggests. (2008-05-20)
Researchers find first conclusive evidence of Alzheimer's-like brain tangles in nonhuman primates
Researchers at the Yerkes National Primate Research Center, Emory University, have discovered the first conclusive evidence of Alzheimer's-like neurofibrillary brain tangles in an aged nonhuman primate. (2008-05-15)
Phase III pivotal results presented of VYVANSE to treat ADHD in adults
