CANADIAN STUDY SUGGESTS GUIDELINES FOR USE OF CT SCANS FOR MINOR HEAD INJURY (p 1391)
A sensitive decision rule for CT scans described in this week's issue of THE LANCET could standardise and improve the emergency management of patients with minor head injury. An estimated one million patients with head injury are seen yearly in North American emergency departments and most are classified as minimal or minor. Patients with minimal... view more...

Topical Cream Studied as Way to Treat Skin Cancer without the Knife
In a case study of a type of melanoma skin cancer typically found on chronically sun-exposed skin, Saint Louis University researchers found that imiquimod, a topical cream, produced good results for patients when used together with surgery to treat the cancer, potentially helping doctors cut less. view more (2009-04-29)
Birth size is a marker of susceptibility to breast cancer later in life
Birth size, and in particular birth length, correlates with subsequent risk of breast cancer in adulthood, according to a new study published in PLoS Medicine by researchers at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. view more (2008-09-30)
Pitt researchers develop less risky treatment for depression, seizures
Researchers from the University of Pittsburgh, with the help of a team of Pittsburgh high school science teachers, have developed a wireless device that is implanted in the neck to fight depression and epileptic seizures. view more (2006-01-20)

Increased role for PET imaging could improve cancer care
A limitation of current cancer care is the difficulty of quickly assessing how well a therapy is working. However, expanding the use of existing positron emission tomography (PET) technology can provide early and accurate assessment of a tumor's response to a particular therapy allowing physicians to better tailor a patient's treatment. view more (2006-02-02)
Chemotherapy At Home? - The Future Of Cancer Treatment
The thought of having any chemotherapy treatment must be hard enough to bear, but researchers from the University of Surrey are carrying out clinical trials into 'chemotherapy at home'. NHS cancer patients are currently asked to attend busy clinics in city hospitals but research by the Postgraduate Medical School together with the Royal Surrey... view more... (2004-07-22)
State-of-the-art cancer research centre opens in Southampton
Cancer research at the University of Southampton receives a boost this week with the opening of a new £5.5 million research building at Southampton General Hospital. The Somers Cancer Research Building, to be opened by the Duke of Gloucester on Thursday 31 October, will provide state-of-the-art facilities for the University`s... view more... (2002-10-28)

Hearing and balance experts at Johns Hopkins report successful testing in animals of an electrical device that partly restores a damaged or impaired sense of balance. view more (2007-08-07)
Remarkable double burial
Archaeologist P.W. van den Broeke discovered this remarkable grave last summer when he was excavating a small Iron Age burialground. C-14 dating has pinpointed the burial in the fifth century BC. In the region cremations were predominant in this period. But for a short span of time some deceased were inhumated. The Iron Age burialground of Lent,... view more... (1999-03-18)
Researchers find groups of genes associated with different types and stages of breast cancer
A method of rapidly "scanning" thousands of genes has revealed groups of genes associated with different types and stages of breast cancer. Some genes also appear to be able to indicate women's chances of survival, the 3rd European Breast Cancer Conference heard on Saturday 23 March. Dr Christos Sotiriou, head of the the microarray... view more... (2002-03-21)
Merck's odanacatib increased BMD over 2 years at key fracture sites in Phase IIB study
Two-year data from a Phase IIB study of odanacatib (formerly MK-0822), an investigational, selective cathepsin-K inhibitor in development for the treatment of osteoporosis by Merck & Co., Inc., demonstrated dose- dependent increases in bone mineral density (BMD) at the total hip, lumbar spine and femoral neck fracture sites and decreased... view more...

PROSTATE CANCER SERIES (p 859)
A four-week series about prostate cancer-the third most common cancer in men worldwide, and the leading male cancer in Europe and North America-begins in this week's issue of THE LANCET. The first article, by Henrik Grönberg of Umea University, Sweden, assesses the epidemiology of prostate cancer, and examines the impact of genetic and... view more... (2003-03-05)

Researchers at the University of Liverpool have developed a breakthrough technology that identifies molecular markers in early lung cancer. view more (2005-04-20)
Optical Solution Revives Hands Free Mobile Telephones
Hands free sets for mobile phones may be on the verge of a big comeback thanks to new research by the University of Warwick. Many people used hands free sets in an attempt to avoid what they perceived as a microwave radiation risk from holding a mobile phone close to one`s head. However when it was pointed out that the standard wire based hands... view more... (2002-09-02)
White blood cells of cancer-resistant mice overwhelm natural defenses of cancer cells
The discoverers of the unique mouse line that is resistant to cancer have begun to pin down how the process works and found that white blood cells in these mice overwhelm normal defenses of cancer cells. view more (2006-11-01)
Men with prostate cancer avoid radiation due to misconceptions
Negative perceptions about radiation therapy can strongly influence a prostate cancer patient's choice to avoid external beam radiation therapy, even though studies have proven the treatment to be as safe and effective as other treatments for the disease, including surgery. view more (2006-11-06)
Genetic variations raise lung cancer risk for smokers and ex-smokers
Two common inherited genetic variations are associated with increased risk of lung cancer for smokers and former smokers, a research team led by scientists at The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center reports April 2 in the online edition of Nature Genetics. view more (2008-04-03)
Tiny levels of carbon monoxide damage fetal brain
A UCLA study has discovered that chronic exposure during pregnancy to miniscule levels of carbon monoxide damages the cells of the fetal brain, resulting in permanent impairment. view more (2009-06-25)
