Researchers discover that gene switches on during development of epilepsy
A discovery made by researchers at Wake Forest University School of Medicine while studying mice may help explain how some people without a genetic predisposition to epilepsy can develop the disorder. view more (2009-04-23)
Scientists make breakthrough in understanding muscle contraction
Professor Susan Wray, who heads the UK's top rated Department of Physiology, and Dr. Ted Burdyga, are studying muscles in the wall of the ureter, which connects the kidney to the bladder, to understand how muscles respond to signals in the body telling them to contract or relax. view more (2005-08-01)
Is dephytinization from infant cereals beneficial to the nutrition absorption?

Low intake of milk during pregnancy linked to decreased birth weight
A new study published in the Canadian Medical Association Journal gives expectant mothers yet another reason to drink their milk. Researchers found that women who rarely drank milk during their pregnancy gave birth to smaller babies compared to women who drank more milk. view more (2006-04-26)
Drinking milk may help ease the pressure
Women who drank more fat free milk and had higher intakes of calcium and vitamin D from foods, and not supplements, tended to have a lower risk for developing hypertension or high blood pressure, according to a new study published in the American Heart Association journal, Hypertension. view more (2008-02-21)
Calcium during pregnancy reduces harmful blood lead levels
Pregnant women who take high levels of daily calcium supplements show a marked reduction in lead levels in their blood, suggesting calcium could play a critical role in reducing fetal and infant exposure. view more (2008-09-10)
Many urinary stones can be treated without surgery
For many patients with urinary stone disease, treatment with a calcium-channel blocker or an alpha blocker can greatly improve their likelihood of passing their urinary stones, which may help these patients avoid surgery. view more (2006-10-02)
Many middle-aged and older Americans not getting adequate nutrition
Micronutrients such as calcium, magnesium, potassium and vitamin C play essential roles in maintaining health. As older adults tend to reduce their food intake as they age, there is concern that deficits in these micronutrients lead to medical problems. view more (2009-03-02)
Mitochondrial dysfunction and redox signaling in atrial tachyarrhythmia
Researchers at the University Hospital of Magdeburg (Germany) have discovered that atrial tachycardia is associated with mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative stress followed by the activation of the NF-kB signalling pathway with induction of NF-kB target gene expression in atrial tissue. view more (2008-04-24)
Community-intervention study links successful town makeover focused on boosting calcium and exercise
The battle against obesity in this country could be tackled one community at a time, according to a newly published study in the Journal of Physical Activity and Health.

Research sheds light on carotid artery stenting risk in elderly
Dr. Hernan Bazan, Assistant Professor of Surgery, Section of Vascular Surgery, at Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center New Orleans' School of Medicine, is the lead author of a research paper which may help physicians decide which patients with carotid artery occlusive disease should have carotid surgery or carotid stenting. view more (2007-11-02)
Daily potassium citrate wards off kidney stones in seizure patients on high-fat diet
Children on the high-fat ketogenic diet to control epileptic seizures can prevent the excruciatingly painful kidney stones that the diet can sometimes cause if they take a daily supplement of potassium citrate the day they start the diet. view more (2009-07-22)
Having elevated risk factors in young adulthood raises risk of coronary calcium later on
Having above optimal levels of risk factors for heart disease between the ages of 18 and 30 can mean a two to three times greater risk of later developing coronary calcium, a strong predictor of heart disease. view more (2007-04-17)
Calcium scans help predict heart disease in healthy men
Even among relatively young and healthy men, CT scans that detect calcium deposits in heart arteries can help predict the risk of coronary heart disease, according to a new study in the Sept. 6, 2005, issue of the Journal of the American College of Cardiology. view more (2005-09-06)
