New treatment for severe malaria
The most dangerous form of malaria is difficult to treat and claims two million lives a year. Now, researchers at Karolinska Institutet in Sweden have developed a powerful new weapon against the disease.   view more (2006-10-02)

FURTHER STEPS TOWARDS A VACCINE AGAINST HIV
For white blood cells in the human body to be infected by the HIV virus, proteins in the virus must be allowed to interact with a number of different components on the surface of the white blood cell. Ideally anti-HIV preventive therapy or vaccines would prevent several of these interactions taking... view more (1999-03-11)

How Much Hypertension Can Be Affected By Daytime Stress?
A group of Italian investigators led by Drs Francesco Fallo (Department of Medical and Surgical Sciences, University of Padova) and Dr Nicoletta Sonino (Department of Mental Health, Padova) explores a neglected issue: the relationship between daytime stress and the physiological lowering of blood... view more (2002-11-20)

Brown Cancer Biologists Identify Major Player in Cell Growth
When cells go about the business of dividing, they can get sidelined. Maybe there aren't enough nutrients. Maybe there aren't the right signals to resume multiplying. Either way, cells go quiet.   view more (2007-02-07)

Chemotherapy with bevacizumab increases risk of blood clots in arteries
Treatment with chemotherapy and bevacizumab, an anticancer drug, is associated with a greater risk of blood clots in patients' arteries compared with treatment with chemotherapy only.   view more (2007-08-08)

New Technique For Measuring Blood Flow To Brain In Babies (p 1749)
Authors of a research letter in this week's issue of THE LANCET describe how an ultrasound technique can be used as a non-invasive way of measuring blood flow to the brain in babies, which may be of benefit to infants with brain disorders arising from restrictions in cerebral blood flow. Changes... view more (2002-11-27)

Neural Stem Cells Are Long-Lived
New studies in mice have shown that immature stem cells that proliferate to form brain tissues can function for at least a year - most of the life span of a mouse - and give rise to multiple types of neural cells, not just neurons.   view more (2005-10-06)

New method identifies rat poison in humans
Researchers at the Norwegian Institute of Public Health (NIPH) have developed a method to identify bromadiolone poisoning in humans. Bromadiolone is a rat poison that can be purchased freely in shops. A number of cases have been reported internationally where people have been poisoned, with a... view more (2008-05-28)

Eyes may provide window to future strokes
Looking into our eyes may help doctors predict who is at risk for stroke. A new study found that people with changes in the small blood vessels in their eyes are more likely to later suffer a stroke than people without these signs.   view more (2005-10-11)

New Approach For Reducing Bleeding After Surgery
Encouraging findings from a study in this week's issue of THE LANCET suggest that factor VII-an agent involved in blood clotting-could be effective in reducing excessive blood loss during abdominal surgery.    Factor VII has been shown to promote blood clotting in patients with... view more (2003-01-16)

Low vitamin D levels may be common in otherwise healthy children
Many otherwise healthy children and adolescents have low vitamin D levels, which may put them at risk for bone diseases such as rickets.   view more (2007-07-09)

Blame the brain for high blood pressure
The controversial idea that one cause of high blood pressure lies within the brain, and not the heart or blood vessels, has been put forward by scientists at the University of Bristol, UK, and is published this week in the journal Hypertension.   view more (2007-04-16)

GABA halts stem cell production in the brain
Release of the neurotransmitter GABA by adult neuronal precursor cells that develop into neurons limits stem cell proliferation, according to a study at Yale School of Medicine in the September issue of Nature Neuroscience.   view more (2005-09-02)

Working while pregnant more than quadruples risk of pre-eclampsia
Women who work during pregnancy are almost five times as likely to develop pre-eclampsia, concludes research in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health.   view more (2002-04-15)

`White coat effect` has adverse effect on blood pressure readings
GPs should not make decisions about treating patients with hypertension based on high readings of blood pressure they have taken, finds a study in this week`s BMJ. Instead, researchers recommend the use of home measurements by the patient or repeated measurements by a nurse, to counter the `white... view more (2002-07-31)

Repair not destruction: A new approach to treating retinopathy
Many diseases of the eye (such as retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) and diabetic retinopathy) that result in loss of vision are the result of the growth of abnormal blood vessels that leak and bleed.   view more (2006-11-17)

Risk of death may be higher with drug commonly used during cardiac surgery
The risks of death are probably higher with aprotinin, a drug commonly used to control blood loss and transfusions during cardiac surgery.   view more (2008-12-03)

Meditation Impacts Blood Pressure, Study Shows
Transcendental Meditation is an effective treatment for controlling high blood pressure with the added benefit of bypassing possible side effects and hazards of anti-hypertension drugs.   view more (2008-03-17)

Minimal cocktail for growing human embryonic stem cells established
Researchers at Yale have established the minimal nutritional requirements for growing and maintaining human embryonic stem cells, a recipe that is critical for clinical application and for developmental studies.   view more (2006-03-28)

U of M study finds national blood donor pool significantly smaller than previously thought
University of Minnesota research indicates the number of individuals eligible to donate blood in the United States is much smaller than previously thought. In fact, it is estimated that only 37 percent of the population is currently eligible to donate blood.   view more (2007-08-02)

Thigh length of babies in the womb linked to later childhood health
The thigh length of babies in the womb is as strong an indicator of subsequent childhood - and potentially adult - blood pressure as birthweight, suggests a study in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health. Researchers scanned 707 developing fetuses to measure the dimensions of their... view more (2002-08-12)

'Safe' blood levels need redefining, Tulane University study says
Blood lead levels currently considered safe by the U.S. government have been found to be associated with increased risk of death from many causes, including heart disease and stroke.   view more (2006-09-20)

RIKEN-RAL muon collaboration: ten more years for this successful international partnership
The renewal of the ten-year collaboration between the Japanese RIKEN Laboratory and the CLRC Rutherford Appleton Laboratory for an intense muon source was signed last week by Dr Gordon Walker, CLRC Chief Executive and Prof. T. Ogawa, Executive Director, RIKEN. The collaboration has been renewed... view more (2000-10-09)

New discovery leaves blood-doping athletes scratching their heads
A stunning discovery by German scientists may make blood doping and the treatment of severe anemia as easy as washing your hair.   view more (2007-09-21)

On the trail of a targeted therapy for blood cancers
nvestigators from the Herman B Wells Center for Pediatric Research at the Indiana University School of Medicine are focusing on a family of blood proteins that they hope holds a key to decreasing the toxic effects of chemotherapy in children and adults.   view more (2008-10-13)
