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)
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)
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)
New technique to 'see' and protect transplants successful in diabetic animal model
Researchers at Johns Hopkins have found a way to overcome a major stumbling block to developing successful insulin-cell transplants for people with type I diabetes. view more (2007-07-30)
Scientists find gene in obese mice that increases type 2 diabetes
In a painstaking set of experiments in overweight mice, scientists from the University of Wisconsin-Madison have discovered a gene that appears to play an important role in the onset of type 2 diabetes. view more (2006-05-08)
Vaccine triggers immune response, prevents Alzheimer's
A vaccine created by University of Rochester Medical Center scientists prevents the development of Alzheimer's disease-like pathology in mice without causing inflammation or significant side effects. view more (2008-05-20)
Omega-3 fatty acids inhibit growth of liver cancer cells
Two new studies by a University of Pittsburgh research team suggest that omega-3 fatty acids-substances that are found in high concentrations in fish oils and certain seeds and nuts-significantly inhibit the growth of liver cancer cells. view more (2006-04-03)
MIT uncovers key blood protein
Scientists working in the only lab at MIT doing hematology research have uncovered a protein that plays a key role in the recycling of iron from blood. view more (2007-10-12)
Deadly infectious entity of prions discovered
The mysterious, highly infectious prions, which cause the severe destruction of the brain that characterizes "mad cow disease" and several human brain degenerative disorders, can be rendered harmless in the laboratory by a slight alternation of the three-dimensional conformation or shape of the prion protein's structure. view more (2005-06-10)
Children's Hospital studying drug with the potential to prevent/delay onset of type 1 diabetes
Researchers at Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh of UPMC are participating in an international clinical trial currently underway to study the effectiveness of oral insulin in preventing or delaying the onset of type 1 diabetes in people at risk for the disease. view more (2007-11-12)
Seeing Alzheimer's amyloids
In an important step toward demystifying the role protein clumps play in the development of neurodegenerative disease, researchers have created a stunning three-dimensional picture of an Alzheimer's peptide aggregate using electron microscopy. view more (2008-05-13)
UT researcher: Interferon alpha can delay full onset of type I diabetes
A low dose of oral interferon alpha shows promise in preserving beta cell function for patients with newly diagnosed type 1 diabetes, or juvenile diabetes. view more (2009-07-01)
Researchers discover how a high-fat diet causes type 2 diabetes
Howard Hughes Medical Institute researchers have discovered a molecular link between a high-fat, Western-style diet, and the onset of type 2 diabetes. view more (2005-12-29)
Preclinical study shows chronic stress agitates ovarian cancer; reducing stress slows tumor growth
When mice with ovarian cancer are stressed, their tumors grow and spread more quickly, but that effect can be blocked using a medication commonly prescribed for heart disease. view more (2006-07-24)
'Godmother' ant uses Mob tactics to rub out rivals
Researchers at the University of Sheffield and the University of Keele have discovered that Dinoponera quadriceps ants, known as Dinosaur ants, and the Mafia have something in common. Both have dominant leaders who give rivals a "kiss of death", as a signal for their 'mob' to punish the offender. The alpha female in a colony of Dinosaur... view more... (2002-09-02)
Alzheimer's vaccine clears plaque but has little effect on learning and memory impairment
A promising vaccine being tested for Alzheimer's disease does what it is designed to do - clear beta-amyloid plaques from the brain - but it does not seem to help restore lost learning and memory abilities, according to a University of California, Irvine study. view more (2008-04-07)
New strategy for protecting brain against Alzheimer's disease: Enhancing the innate immune system
The human body has its own defense against brain aging: the innate immune system, which helps to clean the brain of amyloid-beta waste products. However, UCLA researchers discovered that some patients with Alzheimer's disease have an immune defect making it difficult to clean away these wastes. view more (2005-06-10)
Copper damages protein that defends against Alzheimer's
Copper can damage a molecule that escorts out of the brain a substance called amyloid beta that builds up in toxic quantities in the brains of people with Alzheimer's disease. view more (2007-11-07)
