Scientists begin to untangle root cause of Alzheimer's disease
"N60" might not be the first thing that comes to mind when people think of Alzheimer's disease, but thanks to researchers from the United States, South Korea and France, this might change. view more (2009-09-04)
Beating the aging process naturally
The fight against aging has received a scientific boost thanks to an innovative study done in part by a University of Alberta spin-off company-research that dispels a hard-held belief about the natural ingredient, beta glucan. view more (2005-09-30)
Some antipsychotic drugs may be missing their mark
Drugs that treat depression, schizophrenia and other psychotic conditions and that target a particular protein on brain cells might not be triggering the most appropriate response in those cells, new research suggests. view more (2008-01-02)
Circulating fats kill transplanted pancreas cells, study shows
Dietary restrictions or other strategies that limit fat formation might make pancreatic cell transplants more effective, UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers report. view more (2007-08-28)
Beta-blockers and stroke -- new insights into their use for older people
A University of Leicester-led study may have uncovered the reason why Beta-blockers are less effective at preventing stroke in older people with high blood pressure, when compared to other drugs for high blood pressure. view more (2009-08-28)
New discovery may help doctors treat infertility
New research suggests that medications commonly referred to as fertility drugs may be ineffective for women who lack a gene called the estrogen receptor beta. view more (2005-07-21)
Genetic mutation alters response to heart failure drugs
The group of drugs known as beta blockers help slow nerve impulses traveling through the heart in order to reduce the heart's workload. view more (2007-01-03)
Discovery of new signal pathway important to diabetes research
Scientists at Karolinska Institutet in Sweden and Miami University have discovered that cells in the pancreas cooperate - signal - in a way hitherto unknown. The discovery can eventually be of significance to the treatment of diabetes. view more (2008-06-05)
Draining away brain's toxic protein to stop Alzheimer's
Scientists are trying a plumber's approach to rid the brain of the amyloid buildup that plagues Alzheimer's patients: Simply drain the toxic protein away. view more (2007-08-13)
FORMOTEROL BETTER THAN TERBUTALINE FOR CONTROL OF SEVERE ASTHMA (p 257)
The drug formoterol could be more effective than terbutaline in controlling moderate to severe asthma in patients when used as a rescue therapy in addition to inhaled corticosteroids, conclude the authors of a study published in this week's issue of THE LANCET. Asthma guidelines recommend that longacting inhaled beta-agonists should be used as... view more... (2001-01-24)
MRI May Help Physicians Diagnose, Stage and Treat Diabetes
Noninvasive imaging (MRI) may aid physicians in the early diagnosis, staging and treatment of diabetes, according to a study performed at Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School in Boston, MA. view more (2009-08-06)
Birth defect gene identified
Birth defects of the face and skull are relatively common in humans, striking one in 500 to 1,000 babies. Defects can include cleft lip or palate, congenitally missing teeth and severe malformations of the skull. view more (2005-12-23)
UCSD Research May Lead to Targeted Treatment for Asthma Sufferers
The bronchial tubes of a patient with severe asthma can become scarred due to repeated episodes of allergic inflammation in the airways. The scarring results in blocked airways, excessive production of mucus, and shortness of breath. view more (2005-11-29)
New insight into the genetics of brain tumor formation
In a G&D paper published online ahead of its April 1 print publication date, Dr. William Kaelin (Dana Farber Cancer Institute) and colleagues identify a potential new neuronal tumor suppressor. view more (2008-03-18)
PET scans may help assess presence of brain plaques related to Alzheimer's disease
A type of positron emission tomography (PET) scanning may be useful in a non-invasive assessment of the formation of Alzheimer's disease-related plaques in the brain, according to small study posted online today that will appear in the October 2008 print issue of Archives of Neurology, one of the JAMA/Archives journals. view more (2008-08-12)
University Hospitals Case Medical Center to test gammaglobulin treatment for Alzheimer's disease
Researchers from the Memory and Cognition Center at University Hospitals Case Medical Center will begin testing an intriguing new approach to slowing down the progression of Alzheimer's Disease (AD) using Intravenous Immune Globulin (IGIV), also known as gammaglobulin. view more (2009-09-24)
Noninsulin-producing alpha cells in the pancreas can be converted to insulin-producing beta cells
In findings that add to the prospects of regenerating insulin-producing cells in people with type 1 diabetes, researchers in Europe -- co-funded by the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation -- have shown that insulin-producing beta cells can be derived from non-insulin-producing cells in the pancreas. view more (2009-08-07)
Hybrid molecules show promise for exploring, treating Alzheimer's
One of the many mysteries of Alzheimer's disease is how protein-like snippets called amyloid-beta peptides, which clump together to form plaques in the brain, may cause cell death, leading to the disease's devastating symptoms of memory loss and other mental difficulties. view more (2009-11-05)
COMET results released at Heart Failure / ISHR-ES 2003 support superiority of carvedilol in the treatment of chronic heart failure in major European trial
Monday 23 June 2003, Strasbourg, France: According to results presented today at the Heart Failure / ISHR-ES 2003, the non-selective beta blocking agent carvedilol is more effective in the treatment of patients with chronic heart failure than the '¢-1 selective beta blocker metoprolol. These results were presented at this morning's Hot Line... view more... (2003-06-23)
Possible genetic predictor for response to lithium augmentation in depressed patients
As in most fields of medicine, psychiatry researchers are working to identify specific types of patients, through their individual genetic variations, that may better benefit from particular drugs or combinations of drugs than other patients. view more (2007-12-07)
