Hypertensive kids more likely to have learning/attention problems
Children who have high blood pressure are more likely to have learning disabilities and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) than children who are not hypertensive. view more (2009-05-05)
Drug linked to increase in brain hemorrhage cases
The rate of brain hemorrhages associated with blood thinning drugs quintupled during the 1990s, according to a study published in the January 9, 2007, issue of Neurology, the scientific journal of the American Academy of Neurology. In people over age 80, the rate increased more than tenfold. view more (2007-01-09)
Blood protein may hold key to stopping tumor growth in cancer patients
A recent discovery by researchers at Wake Forest University School of Medicine could clear the way for a new drug that inhibits tumor growth in cancer patients and could potentially help in the healing of wounds. view more (2009-04-01)
DDT In Mothers' Blood Predicts Delays In Daughters' Pregnancies (p 2205)
A research letter in this week's issue of THE LANCET reports on the effect of the pesticide DDT and its by-product, DDE, on female reproductive capability. DDT was banned from use in the USA three decades ago after its toxic effects on environment, animal and human health (via the food chain) were identified. DDT is still used in some... view more...

Even low levels of weekly exercise drive down blood pressure
Even low levels of weekly exercise drive down blood pressure and boost overall fitness, suggests a small study in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health. view more (2007-08-14)
Breathing Support Reduces Blood Pressure For People With Sleep Apnoea (p 204)
A reduction in blood pressure-and in the probable risk of stroke and other cardiovascular disease-could be possible for patients treated with nocturnal breathing support for sleep apnoea, conclude authors of a study in this week's issue of THE LANCET. Obstructive sleep apnoea is a serious condition in which airflow from the nose and mouth to the... view more... (2002-01-17)
Precision blood pressure measurement to improve heart health
A University of Queensland researcher is trialling new, cutting-edge technology for measuring blood pressure and the health of the heart. view more (2008-06-16)
'Less is more' when it comes to treating high blood pressure
A newly published study found patients actually have more control of their high blood pressure (hypertension) when treated with less medication. view more (2009-03-20)
Blood vessel cells are instructed to form tube-like structures
How do blood vessel cells understand that they should organise themselves in tubes and not in layers? A research group from Uppsala University shows for the first time that a special type of "instructor" molecule is needed to accomplish this. These findings, published in the scientific journal Blood, might be an important step towards... view more... (2008-08-29)
WA discovery a key to blood cell development
A West Australian research team has made the world-first discovery a 'pied piper' molecule within blood cells, called Liar, that leads other molecules into the nucleus of the cell, and could offer a key in treating prostate, breast and colon cancers as well as leukemia. view more (2009-04-29)
Scientists are developing markers capable of spotting minute numbers of cancer cells in blood
Scientists have identified three molecular markers which, when used together, are capable of detecting minute amounts of metastatic cancer cells in the blood of patients. Although this research is in its early days, they hope it will lead to the development of a simple and easy test to spot cancer cells that are spreading from the original tumour.... view more...

UGA study suggests that lowering blood pressure following stroke may reduce damage
A new University of Georgia study suggests that commonly prescribed drugs used to lower blood pressure may help reduce brain damage when given within 24 hours of a stroke. view more (2007-04-18)
Orthogem Ltd raises £250,000 for synthetic bone graft material
Orthogem Ltd has closed a funding round of £250,000 to develop its innovative synthetic bone graft material. A substantial part of the finance has been raised from business angel investors in The Oxfordshire Investment Opportunity Network (OION), Europe's most successful business angel network. Additional amounts have been secured from a mix... view more... (2003-05-23)
Sedentary teens more likely to have higher blood pressure
Teenagers who spend a lot of time planted in front of the TV are more likely to have higher blood pressure, regardless of whether they are overweight. view more (2007-02-05)
Blood pressure drug may have added benefit
University of Kentucky researchers have discovered a possible added benefit of a novel new drug that lowers blood pressure. view more (2008-02-15)
Nanoparticles hitchhike on red blood cells: a potential new method for drug delivery
Researchers at the University of California, Santa Barbara have discovered that attaching polymeric nanoparticles to the surface of red blood cells dramatically increases the in vivo lifetime of the nanoparticles. view more (2007-06-27)
New genes implicated in high blood pressure
Researchers at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, along with an international team of collaborators, have identified common genetic changes associated with blood pressure and hypertension. view more (2009-05-11)
Adding fatty acids to formula milk may cut heart disease in later life
Adding long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids to infant formula milk is associated with lower blood pressure later in childhood, and may cut the risk of heart disease in adult life, finds a study in this week's BMJ. In a 1992 trial, 111 newborn infants were fed with a formula containing long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LCPUFAs) and 126... view more... (2003-04-30)
