Ultra-low-dose aspirin might decrease bleeding severity in portal hypertension
In rats with portal hypertension, ultra-low-dose aspirin has shown a normalizing effect of platelet-endothelial cell alterations and bleeding time. Further, this effect is mediated by Cyclooxygenase 2 inhibition.   view more (2007-10-10)

Relatives of patients with Parkinson's disease may have an increased risk of developing dementia or cognitive impairment.   view more (2007-10-09)

Bilberry extract -- can it help prevent certain cancers?
A Leicester cancer research project, which receives funding from Hope Against Cancer (formerly The Hope Foundation,) is investigating whether an extract from bilberries can prevent or delay the onset of certain cancers.   view more (2007-10-04)

Dogs that bite children have often not bitten kids before
Dogs that bite children have often not bitten kids before, but they tend to have underlying behavioural or medical problems, indicates research in the journal Injury Prevention.   view more (2007-10-03)

Noninvasive tests for cirrhosis may help to avoid liver biopsy
Newer ultrasound and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging tests yield encouraging initial results in diagnosing fibrosis (scarring) and cirrhosis of the liver, according to three studies in the October issue of the journal Clinical Gastroenterology and Hepatology.   view more (2007-10-02)

Mixing large doses of both acetaminophen painkiller and caffeine may increase risk of liver damage
Consuming large amounts of caffeine while taking acetaminophen, one of the most widely used painkillers in the United States, could potentially cause liver damage, according to a preliminary laboratory study reported in the Oct. 15 print issue of ACS' Chemical Research in Toxicology, a monthly... view more (2007-09-26)

Alcohol and cancer: is drinking the new smoking?
Researchers at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH) have clarified the link between alcohol consumption and the risk of head and neck cancers, showing that people who stop drinking can significantly reduce their cancer risk.   view more (2007-09-26)

Controlling for size may also prevent cancer
Scientists at Johns Hopkins recently discovered that a chemical chain reaction that controls organ size in animals ranging from insects to humans could mean the difference between normal growth and cancer.   view more (2007-09-21)

Understanding Heart Disease: Research Explains Link Between Cholesterol and Heart Disease
Cholesterol contributes to atherosclerosis - a condition that greatly increases the risk of heart attack and stroke - by suppressing the activity of a key protein that protects the heart and blood vessels, researchers at the Saint Louis University School of Medicine have found.   view more (2007-09-19)

Cell growth technology promises more successful drug development
