Breakthrough for treatment of fatal heart condition
Researchers at the University of Leeds have found a mechanism to prevent a potentially fatal heart condition that can strike without warning. view more (2007-06-06)
Convergent evolution of molecules in electric fish
Having a set of extra genes gave fish on separate continents the ability to evolve electric organs, report researchers from The University of Texas at Austin. view more (2006-03-06)
New therapies may help some end-stage heart failure patients avoid transplant
Implanted pumps improved heart function enough in a small percentage of patients awaiting a heart transplant that they were able to leave the hospital without a pump and without a new heart. view more (2007-05-08)
Mediator in communication between neurons and muscle cells found
A missing piece of the puzzle of how neurons and muscle cells establish lifelong communication has been found by researchers who suspect this piece may be mutated and/or attacked in muscular dystrophy. view more (2008-10-23)
Reduced muscle strength associated with risk for Alzheimer's
Individuals with weaker muscles appear to have a higher risk for Alzheimer's disease and declines in cognitive function over time, according to a report in the November issue of Archives of Neurology, one of the JAMA/Archives journals. view more (2009-11-10)
Link between stress and heart disease may be premature
It has often been claimed that psychological stress is an important cause of heart disease, but a study in this week's BMJ shows that previous research may have been misleading. Researchers measured self-assessed stress amongst middle-aged Scottish men working in and around Glasgow in the early 1970s. These men were then followed for more than... view more... (2002-05-22)
Heart Protein Regulates Blood Vessel Maintenance
In a study led by Akiko Hata, PhD, of Tufts University School of Medicine, researchers have shown that a protein expressed in the heart, FHL2, inhibits the genes necessary for the quiescence of vascular smooth muscle cells (vSMCs), which line blood vessels. view more (2009-05-11)
Faster, better diagnosis for patients with heart rhythm disorders
Patients with heart rhythm disorders can look forward to better and faster diagnosis and treatment thanks to the latest generation of electrophysiology equipment used this week for the first time in North America at the Peter Munk Cardiac Centre. view more (2009-03-26)
In the long run, exertion regulation wins the day for marathon runners
Long-distance running is widely seen as one of the great physical challenges a human can undertake and as the 2008 Summer Olympics commence in Beijing on August 8, many eager sports fans will await with baited breath the last event of the Games - the men's marathon, held on August 24. view more (2008-08-13)
Ancient protein offers clues to killer condition
More than 600 million years of evolution has taken two unlikely distant cousins - turkeys and scallops - down very different physical paths from a common ancestor. But University of Leeds researchers have found that a motor protein, myosin 2, remains structurally identical in both creatures. view more (2008-05-13)
Ibuprofen or acetaminophen in long-term resistance training increases muscle mass/strength
Taking daily recommended dosages of ibuprofen and acetaminophen caused a substantially greater increase over placebo in the amount of quadriceps muscle mass and muscle strength gained during three months of regular weight lifting, in a study by physiologists at the Human Performance Laboratory, Ball State University. view more (2008-04-07)
Marshall research shows safe dosages of common pain reliever may help prevent muscle loss and other conditions related to aging
Recent studies conducted by Dr. Eric Blough and his colleagues at Marshall University have shown that use of the common pain reliever acetaminophen may help prevent age-associated muscle loss and other conditions. view more (2009-09-24)
Muscular dystrophy mystery solved; Mizzou scientist moves closer to MD solution
Muscular dystrophy, which affects approximately 250,000 people in the United States, occurs when damaged muscle tissue is replaced with fibrous, bony or fatty tissue and loses function. view more (2009-02-27)
The fight against obesity -- a new insight
With obesity still on the increase, it appears that the main weapon in the fight against it - reducing energy consumption by eating less - is ineffective. view more (2008-03-12)
Endoscopic resection is a safe and effective treatment for gastrointestinal smooth muscle tumors
Gastrointestinal smooth muscle tumors (SMTs, including leiomyoma and leiomyosarcoma) represent relatively common lesions that are thought to originate from a muscular layer of the gastrointestinal tract. view more (2007-10-11)
Doctors aggressively treat early heart attacks, research shows
An international study involving 467 hospitals in 12 countries found that doctors do a good job of aggressively treating the early stages of heart attacks - even before laboratory tests confirm the diagnosis. view more (2007-04-10)
The secret to chimp strength
February's brutal chimpanzee attack, during which a pet chimp inflicted devastating injuries on a Connecticut woman, was a stark reminder that chimps are much stronger than humans-as much as four-times stronger, some researchers believe. view more (2009-03-31)
UT Southwestern recruiting patients for heart-failure device study
Physicians at UT Southwestern Medical Center are part of a multinational clinical trial evaluating a unique implantable device designed to treat a larger number of patients with heart failure. view more (2006-10-18)
Heart mapping technique safely guides catheter repair of arrhythmia
In experiments with dogs, Johns Hopkins researchers successfully used a 3D map of the heart and sensor-guided catheter to perform cardiac ablation, a mainstay treatment that stops abnormally fast and potentially fatal heartbeats, or arrhythmias. view more (2005-11-14)
Arrythmia associated with heart attacks linked to higher risk of death
Heart attack patients who develop serious arrhythmia in connection with procedures to open blocked arteries face a significantly higher risk of death for several months after the procedure, when compared to similar patients who do not develop such complications, according to new research from Duke University Medical Center. view more (2009-05-06)
