Surgery not linked to memory problems in older patients
For years, it has been widely assumed that older adults may experience memory loss and other cognitive problems following surgery. But a new study from researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis questions those assumptions. view more (2009-11-20)
Lithium chloride slows onset of skeletal muscle disorder
A new UC Irvine study finds that lithium chloride, a drug used to treat bipolar disorder, can slow the development of inclusion body myositis, a skeletal muscle disease that affects the elderly. view more (2008-03-19)
Mild sadness provokes depressive thinking in some recovered patients
Some individuals with a history of depression may sink back into thinking patterns associated with the condition when faced with mild stresses or sadness, increasing their risk for relapse. view more (2006-07-05)
Passive smoking link to dementia
Researchers from the Peninsula Medical School, the University of Cambridge and the University of Michigan have published the results of the first large-scale study to indicate that second-hand smoke exposure could lead to dementia and other neurological problems. view more (2009-02-13)
The regulation of negative emotions: Impact on brain activity
Emotions play an important role in the lives of humans, and influence our behavior, thoughts, decisions, and interactions. The ability to regulate emotions is essential to both mental and physical well-being. view more (2008-03-19)
Severe COPD may lead to cognitive impairment
Severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is associated with lower cognitive function in older adults, according to research from Mount Sinai School of Medicine. view more (2009-07-08)
Researchers isolate causes of cognitive loss following coronary artery bypass surgery
Minimizing trauma to the body's largest artery - the aorta - during heart bypass surgery can significantly reduce cognitive loss that often follows the operation. view more (2006-01-23)
Infants can organise visual information at just four months
Research investigating attention in infancy has revealed that, at just four months old, babies are able to organise visual information in at least three different ways, according to brightness, shape, and how close the visual elements are together (proximity). view more (2006-04-28)
2 nondrug treatments appear to reduce depression after heart surgery
Two non-pharmacological interventions-cognitive behavior therapy and supportive stress management-appear more effective than usual care for treating depression after coronary artery bypass surgery. view more (2009-04-07)
Different styles of mother-infant interaction affect different aspects of infant cognition
Although the quality of mother-child interaction and its effect on general IQ and later schooling is a widely researched topic, it has never been studied using the same infants over a period of time across several cognitive domains. However, this is the focus of new psychological research, which will be presented at the British Psychological... view more... (2005-03-21)
Age-related vision problems may be associated with cognitive impairment
Older patients with advanced age-related macular degeneration and reduced vision may be more likely to also have cognitive impairment, or problems with thinking, learning and memory. view more (2006-04-11)
Rutgers-Newark researcher discovers new motor protein mechanism linked to heart disease and strokes
Cardiomyopathy is an insidious disease which often strikes without warning and can lead to heart failure and eventual death. Although the disease can be traced to conditions such as high blood pressure, heart valve or arterial diseases and congenital heart defects, it is also caused by viral infections in the bloodstream. view more (2006-07-24)
Nanotech Research Featured in Nature Nanotechnology Journal
