In what is being described as an "unexpected finding," new research suggests no correlation between a patient's race and complications with acute appendicitis. view more (2007-09-11)
NEW TECHNIQUE SHOWS DEATH OF HEART CELLS IN HEART-ATTACK PATIENTS (P 209)
In this week's issue of THE LANCET, researchers from the Netherlands describe a new imaging technique capable of pinpointing areas of cell death in the hearts of patients who have had an acute myocardial infarction (heart attack). In acute myocardial infarction, the blood supply to part of the heart is cut off. When blood flow is restored, heart... view more... (2000-07-12)
Antibiotic proves successful in tackling symptoms of acute asthma

Otamixaban for the treatment of patients with non-ST-elevation acute coronary syndromes
Data from a phase II trial of an investigational intravenous drug designed to block the formation of blood clots shows potential to reduce the risk of death, a second heart attack, or other coronary complications compared with the current standard of care in patients presenting with acute coronary syndromes (heart attacks or unstable angina). view more (2009-08-31)
Antibiotics appear to be overprescribed for sinus infections
Antibiotics are prescribed for approximately 82 percent of acute sinus infections and nearly 70 percent of chronic sinus infections, despite the fact that viruses are by far the most frequent cause of this condition, according to a report in the March issue of Archives of Otolaryngology-Head & Neck Surgery, one of the JAMA/Archives journals. view more (2007-03-20)
Early statin therapy for patients with acute coronary syndromes reduces death, cardiovascular events
Early, intensive therapy with statin medications reduces death and cardiovascular events for patients who have had heart attacks or other acute heart events. view more (2006-09-26)
Ageing and the NHS: how age affects hospital admissions
Use of acute services by patients who die in NHS hospitals does not increase with age according to new research by the University of Bristol published in the British Medical Journal this Friday [16 April]. Professor Shah Ebrahim and colleagues in the University's Department of Social Medicine analysed hospital episode statistics for England for... view more... (2004-04-15)
New Combination Therapy Could Reduce Ischaemia After Heart Attack (p 605)
Encouraging results from a fast-track study published in this week's issue of THE LANCET suggest a new therapeutic strategy for reducing ischaemic complications (coronary artery blockage) after heart attack. The treatment of acute heart attack requires combination of several therapies. Fibrinolytic agents given together with aspirin and... view more... (2001-08-22)
Acute Stress Boosts Flu Shot Response in Women, Small Study Finds
Women who participated in short bouts of physical or mental activity before receiving a flu shot produced more antibodies than other women, according to the first study of this effect in humans. view more (2006-03-03)
NIH study finds MRI more sensitive than CT in diagnosing most common form of acute stroke
Results from the most comprehensive study to compare two imaging techniques for the emergency diagnosis of suspected acute stroke show that magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can provide a more sensitive diagnosis than computed tomography (CT) for acute ischemic stroke. view more (2007-01-29)

Eating and body weight regulated by specific neurons
Researchers at Yale School of Medicine provide direct evidence that two parts of a neuronal system, one that promotes eating and another that suppresses eating, are critical for the acute regulation of eating and body weight. view more (2005-09-14)
Blood test could avoid inappropriate use of antibiotics for respiratory infections (pp 600)
A rapid blood test to help distinguish between bacterial and other (predominantly viral) infections could substantially reduce the inappropriate use of antibiotics for common infections, conclude authors of a study in this week's issue of THE LANCET. Lower respiratory tract infections are often treated with antibiotics-even though there is often... view more... (2004-02-18)
Stem cell therapy may offer hope for acute lung injury

New genes involved in Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia play fundamental role in prognosis of the disease
The inactivity or "silence" of certain genes plays a fundamental role in the prognosis of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) as well as in response to treatment, according to the results of research involving a team made up of specialists from the University Hospital of Navarra and the Centre for Applied Medical Research (CIMA) at the... view more...
