Stem cells: Deathly awakening by interferon
After injuries with blood loss, the body quickly needs to restore the vital blood volume. This is accomplished by a special group of stem cells in the bone marrow. view more (2009-02-12)
No strong evidence linking amateur boxing with long-term brain injury
The evidence linking amateur boxing and chronic traumatic brain injury is not strong, concludes a study published on bmj.com today. As such, the researchers say they cannot firmly prove nor reject the theory that amateur boxing leads to chronic brain injury. view more (2007-10-08)
New treatment more than doubles survival for high risk childhood leukemia
Results of a phase two clinical trial published October 5th in the Journal of Clinical Oncology show that adding continuous daily doses of a targeted drug called imatinib mesylate to regular chemotherapy more than doubled three-year survival rates for children with a high risk type of blood cancer called Philadelphia chromosome-positive acute... view more...

Ultrasound-guided injections help ease chronic Achilles tendon pain
Patients with chronic tendinosis of the Achilles tendon can experience a reduction in pain when injected with a small amount of a dextrose solution, according to a recent study conducted by researchers at St. Paul's Hospital in Vancouver, BC. view more (2007-10-30)
The most important candidate genes for pancreatic stone formation
Stone formation is an important feature of chronic pancreatitis, especially tropical calcific pancreatitis (TCP), where the stones are large in size, highly irregular in shape and cause enormous tissue destruction. view more (2007-11-14)
Shilatifard Lab Identifies New Role for Factor Critical to Transcription
The Stowers Institute's Shilatifard Lab has identified a new role for the elongation factor ELL in gene transcription by RNA polymerase II (Pol II) - the enzyme that synthesizes messenger RNA to carry genetic information from DNA to the protein-synthesizing machinery of the cell. view more (2008-06-18)
Pet Therapy May Help Schizophrenic Patients
In a pilot randomized controlled trial a group of researchers of the Technion Institute of Technology (Israel) suggest the usefulness of pet therapy for improving apathy in schizophrenic patients. The paper was published in the January issue of Psychotherapy and Psychosomatics. Anhedonia, a component of the negative symptom dimension and a core... view more... (2005-01-11)
Steroid damage to premature babies
Children born very prematurely who are treated with corticosteroids to prevent and treat chronic lung disease, are showing impaired cognitive ability at age seven years compared with those given no such treatment. These are the findings of Trevor Wilson, Dr Chris McCusker and Dr Nichola Rooney of the Royal Hospital, Belfast. They will present... view more... (2004-04-15)
Inventory of Genes
Scientists at DKFZ screen fruit fly genome for cancer-relevant genes Dr. Michael Boutros of the Deutsches Krebsforschungszentrum (German Cancer Research Center, DKFZ) and an international team of collaborators have been the first to screen an almost complete genome for genes that could play a role in cancer. The results have been published in the... view more... (2004-02-09)
No Justification For Laparoscopic Adhesiolysis To Relieve Abdominal Pain (p1247)
Authors of a study in this week's issue of THE LANCET provide evidence that laparoscopic adhesiolysis cannot be recommended as a treatment for adhesions in patients with chronic abdominal pain. Laparoscopic adhesiolysis--keyhole surgery to treat severe abdominal pain by the removal of adhesions--is controversial and is not based on the outcome of... view more... (2003-04-09)
Geisinger study: PTSD a medical warning sign for long-term health problems
Geisinger research finds that veterans suffering from posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) are as likely to have long-term health problems as people with chronic disease risk factors such as an elevated white blood cell counts and biological signs and symptoms. However, few healthcare providers screen for PTSD in the same way as they screen for... view more... (2008-02-14)
Inherited genes linked to toxicity of leukemia therapy
Investigators at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital have discovered inherited variations in certain genes that make children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) susceptible to the toxic side effects caused by chemotherapy medications. view more (2007-05-14)
Researchers shed light on mechanism of action used by anti-cancer drug
Virginia Commonwealth University Massey Cancer Center researchers have uncovered a new mechanism of action of the anti-cancer drug sorafenib, which could stimulate the development of novel regimens in which it is combined with other molecularly targeted agents for patients with blood cancers and solid tumors. view more (2007-06-12)
Is there a risk of transmitting genetic disorders to babies conceived by fertility procedures?
As medical technology continues to advance, fertility procedures such as in-vitro fertilization and donor insemination are becoming more commonplace. view more (2006-05-22)
Chronic disability in older Americans greatly overestimated
The rates of chronic disability in older Americans has been substantially overestimated by about forty percent, researchers at Yale School of Medicine report in the December 12 Archives of Internal Medicine. view more (2005-12-13)
Leukemia gene normally has mammary gland function
A gene that is critical for normal mammary gland function during nursing helps trigger a highly lethal group of leukemias when it undergoes a mutation that fuses it to another gene view more (2006-07-20)
Silenced genes as a warning sign of blood cancer
In many types of cancer, parts of the genetic material of tumor cells are switched off by chemical labels called methyl groups. This kind of methyl labeling ranges among the epigenetic changes that do not change the sequence of DNA building blocks. view more (2009-08-05)
Mutant genes in high-risk childhood leukemias identified
A research team has pinpointed a new class of gene mutations, which identify cases of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) that have a high risk of relapse and death. view more (2009-05-20)
Go team — 2 kinds of teamwork improves care for chronic heart failure
Active patient involvement during treatment of chronic heart failure, coupled with partnership with healthcare team members to provide care consistent with evidence-based guidelines, dramatically improves quality of care for chronic heart failure patients. view more (2007-02-05)
Role for proteomics in identifying hematologic malignancies
Scientists have identified a set of biomarkers that could help clinicians identify a group of hematologic malignancies known as myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), which affect approximately 300,000 individuals worldwide and often progress to acute myeloid leukemia. view more (2007-01-11)
