A possible new phase for rheumatoid arthritis treatment.
The pathology of rheumatoid arthritis within the first few months after symptom onset is distinct from that of the early phases of other inflammatory joint diseases and also of established rheumatoid arthritis. New research published today in Arthritis Research & Therapy found that very early rheumatoid arthritis is characterised by a distinct... view more... (2005-04-05)
Advances In Curing Corneal Illnesses Using Stem Cells
The University School of Clinical Medicine has developed a new technique for the treatment of corneal illnesses. It involves transplanting from the cornea stem cells which have previously been grown in the laboratory. According to the explanation provided by Doctor Javier Moreno, director of Ophthalmology and Doctor Felipe Pr'³sper, responsible... view more... (2004-02-16)
Pregnant women with placental infection have doubled risk of recurrence
Pregnant women who develop an infection of the placenta or nearby membranes in their first pregnancy have twice the risk of getting it in their second pregnancy, researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have found. view more (2006-11-30)
Disposable catheter breakthrough, a world first
A unique low cost disposable solid-state catheter that can measure swallowing pressure has been developed by a University of South Australia research team using intelligent manufacturing processes that eliminate the infection risks posed by existing catheters. view more (2006-02-06)
New Hypothesis Of The Tunguska Explosion
The event which occurred almost a hundred years ago in Podkamennaya Tunguska has drawn scientists` attention again. What actually exploded at that time in the remote taiga, the power of explosion being equal to the 50-megaton H-bomb? The hypothesis that it was a meteorite or any other extraterrestrial object has not quite satisfied inquisitive... view more... (2002-08-23)
Study supports possible role of urate in slowing Parkinson's disease progression
By examining data from a 20-year-old clinical trial, a research team based at the MassGeneral Institute for Neurodegenerative Diseases (MGH-MIND) and Harvard School of Public Health (HSPH), has found evidence supporting the findings of their 2008 study - that elevated levels of the antioxidant urate may slow the progression of Parkinson's disease. view more (2009-10-13)
Thyroid treatment no 'quick fix' for weight loss in children
Children treated for hypothyroidism aren't likely to drop pounds with treatment for the condition says a new study in the Journal of Pediatrics. The study is the first to examine the link between hypothyroidism treatment and weight loss in pediatric patients. view more (2008-01-04)
Saving salivary glands from the collateral damage of radiation therapy
Researchers have shown that targeted overexpression of heat shock protein 25 prevents radiation-induced damage to salivary glands, a common consequence of treatment for head and neck cancer. view more (2006-10-30)
Mountain Climbers Vulnerable To Subclinical Lung Disorder (pp 276, 303)
Three out of four recreational climbers could be at risk of a mild form of the lung disorder called high altitude pulmonary oedema, conclude authors of a study in this week's issue of THE LANCET. High altitude pulmonary oedema (HAPE) is characterised by increased pulmonary artery pressure which leads to accumulation of fluid in the lungs. Severe... view more... (2002-01-23)
Researchers writing story of the 'alcoholic lung'
Chronic alcohol abuse disrupts the proteins that keep fluids out of the lung, lowers a protective antioxidant, disrupts immune defenses and can lead to a condition known as 'alcoholic lung,' according to research to be presented at the conference, "Physiological Genomics and Proteomics of Lung Disease." view more (2006-11-03)
Fishy sixth sense could help robots navigate the oceans
Taking their cue from fish, scientists in the US have built a navigational aid that will help robots and remote sensors find their way around the world`s vast oceans. The team describes its research today in the Institute of Physics publication Journal of Micromechanics and Microengineering. Fish and many amphibian animals find their way through... view more...

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)
Post-term pregnancies risk infant's life and health, UCSF studies show

Detox cure for art treasure
Many museums and churches own pieces of art which were treated with toxic pesticides in the past. Between the 1940’s and 80’s, it was quite usual to protect wood against insects and microorganisms with PCP (pentachlorophenol), DDT and lindane.
