A washing machine for blood
Blood poisoning is fatal in almost half of all cases. Patients could be helped by efficient blood cleansing. Scientists are working on a new technique that will quickly and effectively retrieve toxic substances from the vital fluid without altering the blood count. view more (2004-10-04)
Blood cells linked to heart attacks, other inflammatory diseases
Two human blood cells that help fight blood loss, infection, and inflammation are responsible as well for starting a series of molecular events that results in overproduction of Cox-2, an enzyme involved in heart attack, stroke, atherosclerosis, and other inflammatory diseases. view more (2006-10-09)
Blood thinning drug linked to increased bleeding in brain

Fugitive cancer cells can be blocked by stopping blood cells that aid them
Cancer cells get a helping hand from platelets, specialized blood cells involved in clotting. Platelets shelter and feed tumor cells that stray into the bloodstream, making it easier for cancer to spread, or metastasize. view more (2008-03-10)
MIT material stops bleeding in seconds
MIT and Hong Kong University researchers have shown that some simple biodegradable liquids can stop bleeding in wounded rodents within seconds, a development that could significantly impact medicine. view more (2006-10-10)
University of Ulster spearheads giant leap forward in medicine
Researchers at the University of Ulster have uncovered a vital weapon in the fight against killer conditions like cancer and heart disease - frog venom. The team, headed by Professor Chris Shaw, has discovered that molecules called peptides, secreted by rain forest frogs to ward off predators, have the potential to: * Dramatically... view more...

Benefits Of Anti-Clotting Drug Class For People With Acute Coronary Syndromes - But For Men Only? (p 189)
Results of a meta-analysis in this week's issue of THE LANCET lend further support to the benefits of the anti-clotting drugs glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitors for the treatment of patients with acute coronary syndromes. However, an unexpected finding of the study suggests that men might be more likely to benefit from therapy with this class of... view more... (2002-01-17)
Brain-damage Threat From Invasive Assessment Of Heart-valve Stenosis (p 1241)
Authors of a study in this week's issue of THE LANCET warn against the widespread use of catheterisation to assess the extent of aortic-valve stenosis--this invasive procedure could increase the risk of cerebral blood clotting and brain damage. The severity of valvular aortic stenosis (a narrowing of the valve between the left ventricle of the... view more... (2003-04-09)
Jefferson scientists find high glucose before surgery raises risk of dangerous complications
Patients who have high blood sugar before undergoing surgery run an increased risk of developing blood clots, deep vein thrombosis and even pulmonary embolism after surgery. view more (2006-10-16)
Still puzzling: Best care for the frail and elderly with coronary artery disease
A new study from Duke University Medical Center finds that patients treated solely with medications after suffering from chest pain, heart attack or coronary artery disease are more likely to die during the first year following their initial hospitalization. view more (2008-07-21)
Herpes virus link to complications in pregnancy
Researchers at Adelaide's Women's & Children's Hospital and the University of Adelaide, Australia, have made a world-first discovery that links viral infection with high blood pressure during pregnancy and pre-term birth. view more (2008-02-19)
Combination of aspirin and an anti-clotting drug reduces risk of dialysis access failure
For the first time, a combination of aspirin and the anti-platelet drug dipyridamole has been shown to significantly reduce blockages and extend the useful life of new artery-vein access grafts used for hemodialysis, according to a study by the Dialysis Access Consortium (DAC). view more (2009-05-21)
Meningitis clotting pathway cracked by UK and US scientists
Strictly embargoed for release 22:00 BST / 17:00 EST Wednesday 8 August 2001 Researchers in the UK and US report in the New England Journal of Medicine this week (9 August) the results of a study in children which may explain why patients with meningococcal septicaemia develop widespread clotting within blood vessels leading to death or loss of... view more...

Iron - the bad guy in haemophilic chronic joint disease?
Mutations in the HFE gene, which is involved in iron regulation, seem to be directly associated with chronic joint disease (or haemophilic arthropathy) among haemophilic patients, claim a team of Portuguese scientists in the April issue of the journal Blood. The results, from a small group of hemophilic patients, if confirmed in a larger... view more... (2005-04-04)
