UF researcher urges caution in reducing blood pressure in patients with diabetes, coronary disease
For patients with diabetes and heart disease, less isn't always more - at least when it comes to blood pressure. view more (2010-03-15)
Device advances interventional radiology treatment to clear blocked carotid arteries, prevent stroke
An important interventional radiology advancement-the use of a new cerebral protection device in combination with FDA-approved carotid stents in high-surgical-risk patients-provides a minimally invasive, safe and effective way to prevent stroke from occurring during treatment to clear blocked carotid arteries. view more (2010-03-15)
OHSU team discovers powerful molecule regulator in blood pressure control system
Researchers at Oregon Health & Science University's School of Dentistry (www.ohsu.edu/sod) have discovered that nitric oxide is a powerful regulator of a molecule that plays a critical role in the development and function of the nervous system. view more (2010-03-12)
Researchers characterize stem cell function
The promise of stem cells lies in their unique ability to differentiate into a multitude of different types of cells. But in order to determine how to use stem cells for new therapeutics, scientists and engineers need to answer a fundamental question: if a stem cell changes to look like a certain type of cell, how do we know if it will behave like... view more...

New drug candidate reduces blood lipids
A thyroid-hormone-like substance that works specifically on the liver reduces blood cholesterol with no serious side effects. view more (2010-03-11)
Critical Recommendations Unveiled to Respond to National Public Health Crisis: Deep-Vein Thrombosis and Pulmonary Embolism
Three critical recommendations from a national workshop have been released to address deep-vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE), a growing public health problem estimated to affect nearly 1 million Americans each year. view more (2010-03-10)
Case Western Reserve University research examines how blood drives motivate blood donation
There is typically a shortage of donated blood in the United States, and research at Case Western Reserve University is looking for ways of improving the life-saving supply. view more (2010-03-03)
More evidence on benefits of high blood pressure drugs in diabetic eye disease
Scientists in Massachusetts are reporting new evidence that certain high blood pressure drugs may be useful in preventing and treating diabetic retinopathy, the leading cause of vision loss in people with diabetes. view more (2010-02-25)
Platelet function tests may provide modest benefit in predicting cardiac outcomes
An analysis of six tests that are used to measure platelet function and help gauge the effectiveness of antiplatelet drugs for patients undergoing a cardiac procedure such as a coronary stent implantation found that only three of the tests were associated with a modest ability to predict outcomes such as heart attack or death. view more (2010-02-24)
Common gene variant may increase risk for a type of cardiac arrhythmia
An international research team has identified a common gene variant associated with a form of the irregular heartbeat called atrial fibrillation. In their report in the journal Nature Genetics, being published online, the investigators describe finding that variations affecting a protein that may help control the heart's electrical activity appear... view more...

Medicare data reveals differences in orthopedic surgical outcomes
The more specialized a hospital is in orthopedic surgical care, the better the outcomes appear to be for patients undergoing hip and knee replacement surgery, University of Iowa researchers report in a new study of Medicare patients. view more (2010-02-16)
Compound shows promise against intractable heart failure
A chemical compound found normally in the blood has shown promise in treating and preventing an intractable form of heart failure in a mouse model of the disease, report researchers at the University of Illinois at Chicago College of Medicine. view more (2010-02-12)
Bowel disease link to blood clots
People living with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) are known to be at high risk of blood clots when admitted to hospital during a flare-up of their disease but now new research by scientists at The University of Nottingham has shown that those who are not admitted to hospital during flare-ups are also at risk. view more (2010-02-11)
Few women take tamoxifen to prevent breast cancer
Researchers with the National Cancer Institute (NCI) have found that the prevalence of tamoxifen use for the prevention of breast cancer among women without a personal history of breast cancer is very low. view more (2010-02-08)
Malaria's key survival protein identified, offering drug hope
Walter and Eliza Hall Institute researchers have identified a key protein used by the malaria parasite to transform human red blood cells, ensuring the parasite's survival. view more (2010-02-04)
Scientists find ideal target for malaria therapy
Scientists at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have identified a protein made by the malaria parasite that is essential to its ability to take over human red blood cells. view more (2010-02-04)
Performing single ultrasound to detect blood clot may be sufficient for some patients
An analysis of previous studies suggests that for patients with a suspected blood clot in a deep vein of a leg, withholding anticoagulation therapy after a negative whole-leg compression ultrasound is associated with a low risk of developing a blood clot during the subsequent 3 months, suggesting that multiple ultrasounds may not be necessary for... view more...

Research reveals how blood flow force protects blood vessels
It is second nature for most of us that exercise protects against heart attack and stroke, but researchers have spent 30 years unraveling the biochemistry behind the idea. view more (2010-01-29)
Control of herpes symptoms does not reduce HIV transmission, international study found
Research from a five-year international clinical study shows that acyclovir, a commonly prescribed drug used to suppress symptoms of the herpes virus, does not affect HIV transmission by people with both viruses. view more (2010-01-26)
Sweet Future: Fluctuating Blood Glucose Levels May Affect Decision Making
Would you choose to receive a small amount of money today or a larger sum next month? We know that it is worth it to wait longer for a larger reward, but sometimes the temptation for the smaller, immediate reward becomes too great and we simply cannot resist it. view more (2010-01-26)
