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)

Markers of PCOS inherited, persist and raise risk for heart disease, diabetes
Menstrual irregularity and unhealthy metabolic traits associated with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) are inherited and persist with age, putting women with PCOS at a high risk for cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes.   view more (2006-04-18)

Cocaine's effects on brain metabolism may contribute to abuse
Many studies on cocaine addiction - and attempts to block its addictiveness - have focused on dopamine transporters, proteins that reabsorb the brain's "reward" chemical once its signal is sent.   view more (2008-02-19)

Finding energy solutions for this generation without compromising the future
As the World's oil, coal and gas reserves run low and countries work to reduce their greenhouse gases, we are looking for new ways to keep power flowing to our homes and industries. So, where should our money be spent when it comes to looking at alternative ways of providing energy? On Friday June... view more (2001-06-25)

Protein level predicts who will develop deadly complication after marrow transplant

Biomarker for age-related macular degeneration found
People who have elevated homocysteine in their blood, an amino acid that is a known biomarker for cardiovascular disease, may also be at an increased risk of developing age-related macular degeneration (AMD), according to a study in the January issue of the American Journal of Ophthalmology.   view more (2006-01-05)

New evidence of radiation risk in childhood leukaemia
Ionising radiation has long been recognised as a cause of leukaemia in exposed children. But delegates at a conference in London today (Tuesday 7 September) will hear how ground-breaking research is now providing evidence that the children of men exposed to radiation may also be at increased risk... view more (2004-09-05)

Trial Supports Use of Marker to Predict How Pancreatic Cancer Patients Do After Surgery, Jefferson Surgeon Finds
A team of researchers, led by surgeons at the Kimmel Cancer Center at Jefferson in Philadelphia, has found further evidence supporting the ability of a protein to predict how well a patient with advanced pancreatic cancer will do after surgery, chemotherapy and radiation.   view more (2007-06-25)
