Metabolic syndrome ups colorectal cancer risk
In a large U.S. population-based study presented at the 73rd Annual Scientific Meeting of the American College of Gastroenterology, metabolic syndrome patients had a 75 percent higher risk of colorectal cancer compared to those without metabolic syndrome. view more (2008-10-06)
Mutations common to cancer and developmental disorder examined in a novel disease model
New research sheds light on a common link between tumor formation and Costello Syndrome, an inherited developmental disorder in which patients have cardiac defects, mild mental retardation, and face-shape abnormalities. view more (2008-12-22)
Prophylactic surgeries prevent two gynecological cancers in women with Lynch syndrome
Women diagnosed with Lynch syndrome, a condition often associated with colon cancer, also are at high risk for endometrial and ovarian cancers-both of which can be eliminated by having a prophylactic hysterectomy and oophorectomy (removal of the ovaries). view more (2006-01-19)
Study casts doubt over value of popular PMS treatment
Treatment of premenstrual syndrome with the hormone progesterone or progestogens (a group of drugs similar to progesterone) is unlikely to be effective, despite the continued popularity of these treatments in the United Kingdom and the United States, concludes a study in this week's BMJ. Researchers at Keele University reviewed 14 trials of... view more... (2001-10-03)
Gene dose affects tumor growth
Researchers at Johns Hopkins and Ohio State University have found that the number of copies of a particular gene can affect the severity of colon cancer in a mouse model. view more (2008-01-04)
Vet medicine researcher examines link between cancer, Down syndrome
here's new hope for breast cancer research, and it's coming from a very unlikely place. Researchers at the Texas A&M University College of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences recently published articles in the journals Molecular and Cellular Biology and Carcinogenesis indicating that a protein long suspected to play a role in Down... view more...

This explanation of Gulf War Syndrome is published today, Monday 15 November, in the British Journal of Psychology, by Dr Eamonn Ferguson and Dr Helen Cassaday of the University of Nottingham. view more (1999-11-15)
Seventeen per cent of veterans believe they have Gulf war syndrome
Seventeen per cent of Gulf war veterans believe they have Gulf war syndrome, find researchers in this week's BMJ. The study has implications for future health protection programmes intended to protect against the threat of chemical and biological warfare. Questionnaires were sent to a large random sample of British service personnel who served in... view more... (2001-08-29)
No test needed for hand-foot genital syndrome in women without HOXA13 gene mutation
Hugh S. Taylor, M.D., professor in the Department of Obstetrics, Gynecology & Reproductive Sciences at Yale, and colleagues have found that women without mutations of the HOXA13 gene do not need to be subjected to x-rays and other tests for a rare condition called hand-foot genital syndrome. view more (2009-10-20)
Meningococcal C Vaccine Could Increase Relapse For Children With Kidney Disease (p 449)
Withholding meningococcal vaccine could be the best strategy for children with the kidney disorder nephrotic syndrome, according to authors of a research letter in this week's issue of THE LANCET. In November, 1999, all children under 18 years of age in the UK were offered immunisation with the newly introduced meningococcal C conjugate vaccine... view more... (2003-08-06)
Rett syndrome research reveals high fracture risk
Researchers at Perth's Telethon Institute for Child Health Research have found that girls and young women with Rett syndrome are nearly four times more likely to suffer a fracture. view more (2008-03-10)
Metabolic Syndrome: It Should Concern You
The metabolic syndrome is a public health time bomb (see notes to editors). It may affect as many as 1 in 5 adults in some parts of Europe, greatly increasing the risk of developing heart disease and stroke. The metabolic syndrome is a ticking time bomb, and unless something is done about it, it will cost the European economy billions, and... view more... (2004-11-26)
Effects of smoking linked to accelerated aging protein
A University of Iowa study is apparently the first to make a connection between a rare, hereditary premature aging disease and cell damage that comes from smoking. The study results point to possible therapeutic targets for smoking-related diseases. view more (2009-02-06)
Low-carb diet better than low-fat diet at improving metabolic syndrome
Diabetes and cardiovascular disease associated with it. In an article published today in the open access journal Nutrition & Metabolism, Jeff Volek and Richard Feinman review the literature and show that the features of metabolic syndrome are precisely those that are improved by reducing carbohydrates in the diet. view more (2005-11-16)
A rainbow of methods promises insights into biological processes and diseases
Physical alterations of DNA in chromosomes can cause serious diseases such as Down syndrome, Prader-Willi syndrome, or cancer. view more (2007-05-02)
Caring for patients is important
Certain personality characteristics and choice of specialty may exert more of an influence on a doctor's attitude towards patients than clinical experience and training. Ms Rani Elwy and Professor Theresa Marteau of the Psychology and Genetics Research Group at Kings College, London, presented this finding today, Tuesday 15 December, to The... view more...

Mental and physical exercise improves genetic mental impairment
Australian scientists have shown that mental and physical exercise can improve coordination and movement problems in Rett syndrome, a devastating genetic brain development disorder that primarily affects females. view more (2008-06-23)
Study Suggests Link Between Down's Syndrome And Neural-tube Defects (pp 1316, 1331)
Authors of a study in this week's issue of THE LANCET highlight how infants born within families who have a high risk of neural-tube defects (NTD) could also be at an increased risk of Down's syndrome-and vice versa, suggesting an association between Down's syndrome and NTD. NTD are birth defects of the brain or spinal cord caused by abnormal... view more... (2003-04-16)
