A Possible Mechanism For Pre-eclampsia? (p 1511)
Results of a preliminary study in this week's issue of THE LANCET suggest that there may be future tests to determine whether pregnant women are at risk of developing pre-eclampsia, a serious disorder of late pregnancy. Up to 8% of pregnant women develop pre-eclampsia (pregnancy-induced high blood pressure and presence of protein in the urine,... view more... (2003-04-30)
Turning back the clock: Fasting prolongs reproductive life span
Scientific dogma has long asserted that females are born with their entire lifetime's supply of eggs, and once they're gone, they're gone. view more (2009-08-28)
Men who were small babies are less likely to marry
Men who were small at birth are less likely to marry, finds a study in this week's BMJ. Although the factors that lead men to marry are complex, these findings raise the possibility that early growth restriction may influence the factors involved in partner selection. Over 3,500 men, born at the Helsinki University Central Hospital, Finland,... view more... (2001-03-27)
Carbohydrate restriction may slow prostate tumor growth
Restricting carbohydrates, regardless of weight loss, appears to slow the growth of prostate tumors, according to an animal study being published this week by researchers in the Duke Prostate Center. view more (2009-05-27)
What are the characteristics of clarithromycin-resistant Helicobacter pylori?

Cutting calories could limit muscle wasting in later years
Chemical concoctions can smooth over wrinkles and hide those pesky grays, but what about the signs of aging that aren't so easy to fix, such as losing muscle mass? Cutting calories early could help, say University of Florida researchers who studied the phenomenon in rats. view more (2008-09-17)
Gene deficiency is a protective barrier to obesity
A search for the molecular clues of longevity has taken Mayo Clinic researchers down another path that could explain why some people who consume excessive calories don't gain weight. view more (2007-06-27)
URI nutritionist finds chewing gum can reduce calorie intake, increase energy expenditure
A nutrition professor at the University of Rhode Island studying the effects of chewing sugar-free gum on weight management has found that it can help to reduce calorie intake and increase energy expenditure. view more (2009-10-28)
Self-Hypnosis Was Found To Be Effective On Hay Fever Symptoms
A group of researchers of the University of Basel has performed a randomized controlled trial on the use of self-hypnosis (which was likely to induce relaxation) on a hay fever symptoms. Many people suffer from hay fever symptoms. Hypnosis has proved to be a useful adjunct in the treatment of conditions where allergic phenomena have an important... view more... (2005-04-21)
High blood pressure may be due to excess weight in half of overweight adults
As many as 50 percent of overweight men and women with high blood pressure may have hypertension as a result of being overweight, researchers reported today at the American Heart Association's 61st Annual Fall Conference of the Council for High Blood Pressure Research. view more (2007-10-01)
Researchers find connection between caloric restriction and longevity
For nearly 70 years scientists have known that caloric restriction prolongs life. In everything from yeast to primates, a significant decrease in calories can extend lifespan by as much as one-third. But getting under the hood of the molecular machinery that drives this longevity has remained elusive. view more (2007-09-21)
Consuming small amounts of caffeine when pregnant may affect the growth of an unborn child
Consuming caffeine at any time during pregnancy is associated with an increased risk of fetal growth restriction (low birth weight). view more (2008-11-03)
Sleep restriction results in increased consumption of energy from snacks
Bedtime restriction in an environment that promotes overeating and inactivity is accompanied by increased intake of calories from snacks. view more (2008-06-11)
How oxidative stress may help prolong life
Oxidative stress has been linked to aging, cancer and other diseases in humans. Paradoxically, researchers have suggested that small exposure to oxidative conditions may actually offer protection from acute doses. view more (2009-05-29)
A high fat, low carbohydrate diet improves Alzheimer's disease in mice
Mice with the mouse model of Alzheimer's disease show improvements in their condition when treated with a high-fat, low-carbohydrate diet. view more (2005-10-17)
Trans fat ban: Watch saturated fats and calories too
In December, New York City passed a law to phase out the use of trans fat in restaurants. Other cities, including Boston and Chicago, might follow suit. view more (2006-12-26)
Resident work-hour restrictions yield little improvement in perceived quality of patient care
Research conducted by participants at several medical schools, including co-authors Michael J. Cunningham, M.D., and Roland D. Eavey, M.D., of the Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary Pediatric Otolaryngology Service, Department of Otology and Laryngology, Harvard Medical School, has found that reducing the amount of work hours alone for surgical... view more...

Powerful genome ID method extended to humans
A mathematical discovery has extended the reach of a novel genome mapping method to humans, potentially giving cancer biology a faster and more cost-effective tool than traditional DNA sequencing. view more (2006-10-10)
Study shows cane sugar, corn sweeteners have similar effects on appetite
A new study of sweetened beverages shows that cane sugar and high fructose corn syrup have similar effects on hunger, fullness, and food consumption at lunch. view more (2007-07-11)
Cutting calories slightly can reduce aging damage
A lifelong habit of trimming just a few calories from the daily diet can do more than slim the waistline-a new study shows it may help lessen the effects of aging. view more (2006-05-09)
