Leveling the field for babies with persistent pulmonary hypertension
If he can figure out which babies will be born unable to breathe properly, Dr. Stephen M. Black thinks he can help change that.   view more (2006-10-09)

Alcohol dependence among women is linked to delayed childbearing
Alcohol use during the teen years can not only lead to subsequent alcohol problems, it can also lead to risky sexual behavior and a greater risk of early childbearing. An examination of the relationship between a lifetime history of alcohol dependence (AD) and timing of first childbirth across... view more (2008-08-20)

Kaposi sarcoma arises independently from multiple cells
Kaposi sarcoma is unique among cancers because most tumors grow from a small number of different cells, whereas nearly all other cancers arise from a single cell.   view more (2007-07-11)

ESC Congress 2004: PERTINENT - PERindopril - Thrombosis, InflammatioN, Endothelial dysfunction and Neurohormonal activation Trial

Smoking seems to increase brain damage in alcoholics
It is already well-known that the brains of long-term alcoholics atrophy and shrink, the study authors say, but the new findings are the first evidence that cigarette smoking might contribute to that atrophy, particularly in grey matter of the parietal and temporal lobes.   view more (2005-09-29)

MRI is Better Than SPECT in Assessing Heart Damage in Patients with Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy
Contrast-enhanced MRI is better than SPECT in detecting heart damage in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, a disease that can lead to sudden death in young patients.   view more (2005-08-08)

A new insight on ethanol-induced gastric mucosa injury
Many people all over the world indulge themselves in drinking, which is correlated to a wide spectrum of medical, psychological, behavioral, and social problems.   view more (2008-10-24)

Alzheimer's disease prevention may be easier than cure
Current hypotheses suggest that it is the accumulation over time of amyloid beta peptide 1-42 (Abeta42) that triggers changes in the brain that lead to cognitive dysfunction in Alzheimer's disease.   view more (2005-12-09)

Men with bladder exstrophy report robust sex lives, but women fare worse, Hopkins study shows
Adult men born with a severe urological anomaly in which the bladder forms outside of the abdomen report much more robust sexual lives than women born with the same condition, according to a small study led by urologists at the Johns Hopkins Children's Center.   view more (2007-10-29)

Functional brain imaging in the dog.
Single photon emission tomography is an imaging modality using radiolabelled tracer substances to investigate function and metabolism of various organs in the living patient. We explored this technique in the dog to investigate brain function. Brain perfusion (an indirect indicator for metabolism... view more (2003-02-04)

The University of Surrey to lead a European Study on the Genetics of Addiction
The University of Surrey today announced that it is to lead a major European research initiative in the genetics of drug addiction, funded by an EUR8.1 million contract from the European Commission. The effort brings together eight leading public and private research organisations with the aim of... view more (2005-01-17)

Study finds B-vitamin deficiency may cause vascular cognitive impairment
A deficiency of B-vitamins may cause vascular cognitive impairment, according to a new study. Researchers at the Jean Mayer USDA Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging (HNRCA) at Tufts University used an experimental model to examine the metabolic, cognitive, and microvascular effects of dietary... view more (2008-09-02)

Drug reverses mental retardation caused by genetic disorder
UCLA researchers discovered that an FDA-approved drug reverses the brain dysfunction inflicted by a genetic disease called tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC).   view more (2008-06-23)

Insights into activity-dependent neuronal growth through RSRF-supported research
Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) has been a subject of keen interest in neuroscientific circles for several years, turning up in studies of conditions ranging from central hypoventilation syndrome to obsessive-compulsive disorder, depression, bipolar disorder and schizophrenia - a range of... view more (2006-10-23)

New brain cells listen before they talk
Newly created neurons in adults rely on signals from distant brain regions to regulate their maturation and survival before they can communicate with existing neighboring cells-a finding that has important implications for the use of adult neural stem cells to replace brain cells lost by trauma or... view more (2007-10-31)

Study links blood transfusions to surgery complications in women
Women die and get infections more often than men after heart surgery because they tend to receive more blood transfusions, which boost the risks of bad outcomes.   view more (2007-12-03)

Brain Blood Flow Gives Clues to Treating Depression
The usefulness of established molecular imaging/nuclear medicine approaches in identifying the "hows" and "whys" of brain dysfunction and its potential in providing immediately useful information in treating depression are emphasized in a study in the August Journal of Nuclear... view more (2007-08-09)

Very early signs of atherosclerosis and heart failure seen together on MRI
Middle-age and older people who feel healthy, but who have early signs of atherosclerosis, are more likely to exhibit subtle changes in heart function, detectable through a special MRI technique.   view more (2006-06-21)

New hereditary gene linked to Parkinson's disease
UCL scientists have discovered a new gene implicated in the early development of Parkinson's disease. In a study of families with early onset disease, Professor Nick Wood and colleagues at UCL's Institute of Neurology identified a novel gene which produces a malfunctioning protein that could pave... view more (2004-04-15)

Apelin to rescue diabetics
Sugar is naturally present in the blood in the form of glucose and is stored in the liver or adipose tissue (fat) thanks to the action of insulin. Glucose is stored or directly used to ensure satisfactory function of the heart, brain and so on according to the body's demands.   view more (2008-11-05)

Protein protects brain against compound in lead poisoning, liver disease
Scientists have discovered that a protein known as PEPT2 protects the brains of mice from a naturally occurring but potentially toxic compound present in lead poisoning and in a class of liver diseases that can cause serious neurological complications.   view more (2007-12-07)

New research helps explain genetics of Parkinson's disease
A new study by Narendra et al. suggests that Parkin, the product of the Parkinson's disease-related gene Park2, prompts neuronal survival by clearing the cell of its damaged mitochondria.   view more (2008-11-24)
