Psychiatric and neurologic conditions may underlie many cases of chronic dizziness
Chronic dizziness may have several common causes, including anxiety disorders, migraine, traumatic brain injury and disorders in the part of the nervous system governing involuntary activities. view more (2007-02-20)
Golfers are not doing enough warm-up exercises to enhance performance or prevent injury
Amateur golfers who think practising a couple of swings before they hit the course will improve their standard, are misguided, suggests research in the British Journal of Sports Medicine. Researchers observed the warm-ups of 1040 adult golfers at different venues over a period of three weeks in 1999. Warm-up's need to be comprehensive enough to... view more... (2001-03-22)
Infant pain, adult repercussions
Scientists at Georgia State University have uncovered the mechanisms of how pain in infancy alters how the brain processes pain in adulthood. view more (2009-09-28)
Current technology for brain cooling unlikely to help trauma patients
Attempts to cool the brain to reduce injury from stroke and other head trauma may face a significant obstacle: current cooling devices can't penetrate very deeply into the brain. view more (2006-08-07)
Gene Associated with Reduced Mortality from Acute Lung Injury
Researchers at National Jewish Health and the University of Colorado Denver have discovered a gene that is associated with improved survival among patients with acute lung injury. view more (2009-01-16)
Media Invitation: British Neuroscience Association National Meeting
The British Neuroscience Association (BNA) is about to host its 17th National Meeting in Harrogate (13-16 April) and is attracting more delegates than ever before. With seven plenary lectures, 20 symposia and over 40 poster sessions, this will be quite a neuroscience festival for the UK.

When the rules of the game are broken: Research studies sports injuries related to illegal activity
A study published in the February issue of Injury Prevention estimates that more than 98,000 sports injuries in U.S. high schools in 2005-2007 were directly related to an action that was ruled illegal activity by a referee, official or disciplinary committee. view more (2008-03-03)
Pop-up car bonnets will help reduce pedestrian deaths
Road vehicles may soon be fitted with pop-up bonnets, windscreen airbags and energy absorbing bumpers to improve pedestrian safety, according to researchers in this week’s BMJ. view more (2002-05-07)
UNC launches study of liver injury caused by drugs
The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill is one of five clinical centers nationwide to receive funds from the National Institutes of Health to study why good medications are sometimes bad for the liver. view more (2005-05-27)
Memory loss linked to common sleep disorder
For the first time, UCLA researchers have discovered that people with sleep apnea show tissue loss in brain regions that help store memory. view more (2008-06-11)
Brain Wave Monitor Could Replace Lumbar Puncture
Scientists in Southampton have developed non-invasive technology to measure the fluid pressure in the brain safely and painlessly which they hope will eventually reduce the need for a lumbar puncture. Collaborators in London now believe it could be a major advance in the diagnosis and treatment of conditions such as meningitis, head injury and... view more... (2004-12-16)
Drug's epilepsy-prevention effect may be widely applicable
A drug with potential to prevent epilepsy caused by a genetic condition may also help prevent more common forms of epilepsy caused by brain injury. view more (2009-06-02)
Study evaluates brain lesions of older patients
Lesions commonly seen on MRI in the brains of older patients may be a sign of potentially more extensive injury to the brain tissue, according to a recent study conducted by researchers at the Duke University Medical Center, in Durham, NC. view more (2007-07-10)
Prenatal drinking, environmental enrichment: effects on neurotrophins are independent of each other
Prenatal alcohol exposure may be particularly destructive for neurotrophins, a family of peptides that influence the growth, development and functional plasticity of the fetal brain. view more (2008-07-21)
Stem cells decrease ischemic injury and restore brain function
This is the impressive result of a study carried out by a group of researchers coordinated by Dr. Maria Grazia De Simoni of the Mario Negri Institute in Milan, Italy in cooperation with the Istituto Neurologico Besta (Milan) and the University of Lausanne. view more (2007-04-18)

Is Body Mass Index A Risk Factor For Road Traffic Injuries?
Drivers who are overweight or underweight are at greater risk of suffering an injury in a road accident than people of average size, according to a study of deaths and injuries from motor vehicle accidents in New Zealand. The study appears in the current issue of the International Journal of Epidemiology (IJE), edited in the Department of Social... view more... (2003-04-25)
Stem cell therapy may offer hope for acute lung injury
Researchers at the University of Illinois at Chicago College of Medicine have shown that adult stem cells from bone marrow can prevent acute lung injury in a mouse model of the disease. view more (2009-10-29)
New stem cell research unlocks unknown therapies
"Stem cell research and regenerative medicine are in an extremely exciting phase right now. We are gaining knowledge very fast and many companies are being formed and are starting clinical trials in different areas," says Dr Jonas Frisén. view more (2009-05-22)
