IEM is associated with an increased acid clearance times in the distal esophagus. Gastropharyngeal reflux causes supraesophageal manifestations such as globus, chronic cough, hoarseness, asthma, chronic sinusitis, or other otorhinolaryngologic diseases. view more (2008-11-03)
A fatty acid found in milk may help control inflammatory diseases
One of the isomers of conjugated linoleic acid, a group of fatty acids found in milk, is a natural regulator of the COX-2 protein, which plays a significant role in inflammatory disease such as arthritis and cancer. view more (2005-10-19)
Forecasting Heart Storms
The requirements of man to the weather forecast are changing before our eyes. Before, a temperature, precipitation and wind forecast could do, while now man want to know the condition of the electromagnetic field of the Earth in a month ahead, desirably. Those, who suffer from heart diseases, are the ones to worry most of all: cardio-vascular... view more... (2002-04-02)

Multivitamins with 0.4 - 0.8 mg of folic acid are best in birth defect prevention
Periconceptional use of folic acid supplements is effective for the primary prevention of neural-tube defects and is recommended by reproductive health researchers. Recent research in this area, however, centres on two main debated questions. The first one is whether the use of folic acid alone or folic acid-containing multivitamins is better. The... view more... (2004-05-27)
Grandma was right - cod liver oil is good for you!
In inflammatory conditions such as arthritis, the presence of unusual fatty acids, Omega or n-3 fatty acids, (that are uniquely present in fish oils but not other oils common in the diet) in the cartilage cells reduces the activity of specific enzymes (Proteolytic or aggrecanase enzymes) that are responsible for cartilage damage. view more (2000-01-12)
Omega-3 intake during last months of pregnancy boosts an infant's cognitive and motor development
A study supervised by Université Laval researchers Gina Muckle and Éric Dewailly reveals that omega-3 intake during the last months of pregnancy boosts an infant's sensory, cognitive, and motor development. The details of this finding are published in a recent edition of the Journal of Pediatrics. view more (2008-04-10)
Fish oil may help protect against retinal degenerative diseases
A invited paper published in Trends in Neuroscience this week by Nicolas G. Bazan, MD, PhD, Boyd Professor and Director of the Neuroscience Center of Excellence at LSU Health Sciences Center in New Orleans, reports on the role that the omega-3 fatty acids in fish oil play in protecting cells in the retina from degenerative diseases like retinitis... view more...

Eating fatty fish once a week reduces men's risk of heart failure
Eating salmon or other fatty fish just once a week helped reduce men's risk of heart failure, adding to growing evidence that omega-3 fatty acids are of benefit to cardiac health. Led by researchers at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC) and reported in today's on-line issue of the European Heart Journal, the findings represent one of the... view more... (2009-04-22)
Omega-3 fatty acids appear to impact AMD progression
Omega-3 fatty acids found in fatty fish such as tuna and salmon may protect against progression of age-related macular degeneration (AMD), but the benefits appear to depend on the stage of disease and whether certain supplements are taken. view more (2009-06-18)
Supplementing babies' formula with DHA boosts cognitive development
Research has shown that children who were breast fed as infants have superior cognitive skills compared to those fed infant formula, and it's thought that this is due to an essential fatty acid in breast milk called docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). view more (2009-09-15)
Study shows marine omega-3 fatty acids have positive effect on muscle mass
A research team led by Carole Thivierge, from Université Laval's Institute of Nutraceutics and Functional Foods, shows that omega-3 fatty acids from fish oil have a positive effect on the metabolism of muscle proteins. view more (2007-05-10)
Folic acid could prevent heart disease
Folic acid could dramatically reduce the risk of heart disease, deep vein thrombosis, and stroke if levels of homocysteine (an amino acid) were reduced, according to researchers in this week’s BMJ. view more (2002-11-20)
Omega-3 fatty acids affect risk of depression, inflammation
A new study suggests that people whose diets contain dramatically more of one kind of polyunsaturated fatty acid than another may be at greater risk for both clinical depression and certain inflammatory diseases. view more (2007-03-30)
Severe sleep apnea may be a risk factor for liver damage
Many patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) are obese and therefore at risk of having fatty liver, a condition in which fat accumulates in the liver cells. But the link between OSA and liver injury independent of weight has yet to be examined. view more (2005-05-25)
Ume'å scientist honored for article on stress hormone and diabetes
Eva Rask at the Department of Public Health and Clinical Medicine, Ume'å University, Sweden, has been awarded a scholarship from the Swedish Association for Diabetology for the year's best scientific article in Swedish diabetes research in 2001. The article, published in The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism, describes how the... view more... (2002-04-08)
Researchers study how pistachios may improve heart health
Going green may be heart healthy if the green you choose is pistachio nuts, according to researchers at Penn State who conducted the first study to investigate the way pistachios lower cholesterol. view more (2008-09-29)
Eating fish associated with slower cognitive decline
Consuming fish at least once a week was associated with a 10 percent per year slower rate of cognitive decline in elderly people, according to a new study posted online today from Archives of Neurology, one of the JAMA/Archives journals. The study will be published in the December print edition of the journal. view more (2005-10-11)
Bacteria checkmate yeasts and moulds
Lactic acid bacteria are found in many foods, for example, yoghurt, cheese or sauerkraut. These bacteria are desirable, as they change the taste and consistency of a raw material in such a way that a completely new foodstuff is created. In the manufacture of cheese, propionic acid bacteria also play an important role. They are responsible for the... view more... (2005-04-01)
