Evidence underlying repeated courses of steroids for preterm birth is unsound
Researchers in this week's BMJ question whether giving repeated courses of steroid drugs to mothers at risk of preterm delivery is based on sound evidence. view more (2007-07-13)
Clemson bioengineer uses nanoparticles to target drugs
Clemson bioengineer Frank Alexis is designing new ways to target drugs and reduce the chances for side effects. view more (2009-10-09)
Breaking the 'mucus barrier' with a new drug delivery system
Chemical engineers from Johns Hopkins University have broken the "mucus barrier," engineering the first drug-delivery particles capable of passing through human mucus - regarded by many as nearly impenetrable - and carrying medication that could treat a range of diseases. Those conditions include lung cancer, cervical cancer and cystic... view more... (2008-08-20)
UAB First in U.S. to Offer Speedier Precise Cancer Therapy
The University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) this month became the first U.S. medical center to offer a speedier cancer radiation therapy. The new technique can turn a 20-minute radiotherapy session into a 90-second session for selected patients. view more (2008-05-08)
Drug addiction treatment sees drop in success rate
The proportion of drug users who completed treatment for drug addiction decreased between 1998 and 2002, although the overall number of drug users who entered treatment increased. view more (2006-08-11)
Drug prevents dangerous tick diseases
Lyme disease is the blight of countryside users but it may be prevented with a single injection, according to research published in the Journal of Medical Microbiology. view more (2008-03-20)
EphA2-targeted therapy delivers chemo directly to ovarian cancer cells
With a novel therapeutic delivery system, a research team led by scientists at The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center has successfully targeted a protein that is over-expressed in ovarian cancer cells. view more (2009-07-30)
Targeting treatment
The effectiveness of many potentially powerful treatments including drug therapy, gene therapy and cancer chemotherapy is often reduced because it can be difficult to target the treatment exactly where it will be most effective. One of the problems is that it is frequently difficult for drugs, as well as DNA and other biological molecules, to pass... view more... (2002-03-26)
Scientists use nanomaterials to localize and control drug delivery
Using nanotechnology, scientists from UCLA and Northwestern University have developed a localized and controlled drug delivery method that is invisible to the immune system, a discovery that could provide newer and more effective treatments for cancer and other diseases. view more (2008-01-23)
Not all 'drug-related deaths' are 'drug-related'
UK estimates of 'drug-related deaths' (DRDs) include mortalities of drug abusers and non-drug abusers. So these figures may not be the best way of monitoring the performance of Drug and Alcohol Action Teams. view more (2007-08-09)
Coffee: a cause of neonatal seizures?
Epidemiological observations raised the possibility that coffee was deleterious for newborn babies. For the last ten years the American Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has therefore recommended that pregnant women limit their consumption of coffee. view more (1999-06-16)
Treatment to improve degenerating muscle gains strength
A study appearing in Science Translational Medicine puts scientists one step closer to clinical trials to test a gene delivery strategy to improve muscle mass and function in patients with certain degenerative muscle disorders. view more (2009-11-12)
MU Veterinary Oncologists Advance Cancer Drugs for Humans and Pets
As more pet owners are choosing to treat their pets' cancers through advanced medicine, veterinarians gain valuable knowledge about the progression and treatment of cancers in humans through pet trials of new drugs. view more (2009-04-16)
Best Management For Obstructed Labour (p 1203)
One of the most challenging emergencies for obstetricians is obstructed labour, when the cervix (neck of the womb) is fully stretched but the baby will not come out. This may be due to the baby having a head which is too large to pass easily through the mother's birth canal (disproportion) or to the baby's head trying to come out the wrong way up... view more...

Late preterm births present serious risks to newborns
More than half a million babies are born preterm in the United States each year, and preterm births are on the rise. Late preterm births, or births that occur between 34 and 36 weeks (approximately 4 to 6 weeks before the mother's due date), account for more than 70% of preterm births. view more (2008-12-11)
Hormone drug linked to increased prevalence of male genital disorder (pp 1081, 1102)
Results of a Dutch study in this week’s issue of THE LANCET highlight how a male genital disorder could be more common among boys born to mothers who were prenatally exposed to a synthetic hormone withdrawn in the late 1970s. The drug diethylstilbestrol (DES) was previously prescribed to prevent spontaneous abortion and preterm delivery. DES... view more... (2002-03-27)
Continuous Stiching Method Reduces Pain For Women With Perineal Damage After Childbirth
Authors of a study in this week's issue of THE LANCET suggest that a simple, continuous stitching technique to repair tears to the perineum after vaginal delivery can prevent one woman in six from having pain ten days after childbirth. The study also highlights how the use of more rapidly absorbed suture material can avoid the need for the removal... view more... (2002-06-26)
Study sheds light on risks of being a second twin
A nine year study published on bmj.com today has concluded that being a second born twin confers a small increased risk of suffering fatal complications during birth. view more (2007-03-02)
ORNL advances therapy for Parkinson's, other diseases
By miniaturizing a device that monitors the delivery of healthy cells, researchers at Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory are developing a powerful instrument for physicians to use in treating patients with Parkinson's syndrome, brain tumors and other diseases. view more (2009-07-23)
Combining PET and CT scans makes cancer treatment more accurate
Doctors have discovered that combining images derived from positron emission tomography and computed tomography in the planning and delivery of radiation treatment for patients with head and neck cancer leads to more accurate delivery of the radiation dose and an increased chance for survival. view more (2006-05-02)
