A team of researchers has discovered a molecular missing link that helps explain why fasting brings on acute attacks of the genetic disease hepatic porphyria. view more (2005-08-26)
Study finds extensive patient sharing among hospitals; could impact spread of infectious diseases
Findings from the first in-depth study of patient sharing show that hospitals share large numbers of patients with other acute care facilities without knowing it. view more (2009-03-19)
Unnecessary hospital stay after heart attack common in European countries (pp 502, 511)
A study investigating inconsistencies in the time patients spend in hospital after heart attack is detailed in this week's issue of THE LANCET. Despite a decade of research suggesting that low-risk patients can be discharged from hospital after four days, many countries-especially in Europe-could be keeping patients in hospital for an unnecessary... view more...

What is the role of interleukin-10 in ischemia-reperfusion injury?
I/R injury of the small intestine is consequently a critical problem that is important. DHP-PMX therapy can remove circulating endotoxins and reduce various cytokines, even in patients with high levels of plasma cytokines. view more (2008-09-26)
Blood Lactate Measurement Could Lead To Earlier Identification Of Patients For Liver Transplant (p 558)
Arterial blood lactate measurement could rapidly and accurately identify patients who might die from paracetamol-induced acute liver failure, conclude authors of a study in this week's issue of THE LANCET. Its use is likely to improve the speed and accuracy of selection of appropriate patients for transplantation. King's College Hospital (KCH)... view more... (2002-02-13)
Many patients with heart disease have poor knowledge of heart attack symptoms
Nearly half of patients with a history of heart disease have poor knowledge about the symptoms of a heart attack and do not perceive themselves to have an elevated cardiovascular risk, according to a report in the May 26 issue of Archives of Internal Medicine, one of the JAMA/Archives journals. view more (2008-05-27)
Treating depression may improve recovery of heart rate variability following coronary syndromes
Patients with depression appear to have an impaired ability to recover their heart rate variability following acute coronary syndromes such as heart attack, a factor that could increase their risk of coronary death. view more (2007-09-04)
Introducing the patient safety series (pp 913, 970)
Health care providers, hospital administrators, and politicians face competing challenges to reduce clinical errors, control expenditure, increase access and throughput, and improve quality of care. The safe management of the acutely ill inpatient presents particular difficulties. In the first of five Lancet articles on this topic, Julian Bion and... view more... (2004-03-17)
Mutant gene identified as villain in hardening of the arteries
A genetic mutation expands lesions in the aorta and promotes coronary atherosclerosis, more commonly known as hardening of the arteries, according to a study by Yale School of Medicine in Cell Metabolism. view more (2007-12-19)
Low-level heat wrap therapy safely reduces low back pain and improves mobility in the workplace
The use of continuous low-level heat wrap therapy (CLHT) significantly reduces acute low back pain and related disability and improves occupational performance of employees in physically demanding jobs suffering from acute low back pain. view more (2006-01-23)
FOLATE SUPPLEMENTS DURING PREGNANCY COULD PROTECT AGAINST LEUKAEMIA (p 1935)
A population-based study from Western Australia in this week's issue of THE LANCET suggests that folate and iron supplementation during pregnancy might be associated with a decreased risk of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL). ALL is the most common childhood cancer in more-developed countries but it has few recognised risk factors or... view more... (2001-12-05)
Kidney damage after heart surgery on the rise

Household transmission of SARS: Lessons learned
In the 2003 outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) in Toronto, Ontario, about 20% of cases resulted from household transmission (spread of the infection within a household). view more (2006-11-07)
An ESC statement on gender differences in medical care and survival after myocardial infarction
A paper published online by the journal Circulation on 8 December 2008 concluded that, while men and women have a similar in-hospital death rate following acute myocardial infarction, women with STEMI had an adjusted mortality rate almost twice as high as men (10.2% versus 5.5%). view more (2008-12-18)
St. Jude discovery offers new avenues to understanding an aggressive form of leukemia
Researchers at St. Jude Childrenˇ¦s Research Hospital have discovered evidence that a series of genetic mutations work together to initiate most cases of an aggressive and often-fatal form of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). view more (2008-04-15)
Researchers find drug that inhibits acute leukemia cell growth
Researchers from the Children's Cancer Hospital at The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center have discovered how to turn off a certain receptor that promotes the growth of leukemia cells. view more (2009-04-27)
Novel drug preventing protein recycling shows potential for treating leukemia
Researchers from the Children's Cancer Hospital at The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center have found that a novel targeted therapy effectively treats acute leukemia in animal models by preventing cancer cells from being purged of damaged proteins. view more (2007-04-20)
