Fatigue is an important factor in serious road crashes
Fatigue, especially when combined with alcohol, presents a particularly high risk of road crashes resulting in death or serious injury, finds a study in this week's BMJ. Data from the French Ministry of Transport was used to investigate the role of fatigue in serious, single-vehicle crashes during 1994-8. About 10% of the crashes were related to... view more...

Antibody retards growth and induces death in liver cancer cells
Researchers from the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine report a significant new advance in the search for an effective treatment for human liver cancer in the July issue of Molecular Cancer Therapeutics. view more (2007-07-12)
Low to moderate blood alcohol level linked to reduced mortality following traumatic head injury
Patients who have low to moderate blood alcohol levels may be less likely to die after arriving at the hospital with a traumatic brain injury than those with no alcohol in their bloodstream, according to a report in the December issue of Archives of Surgery, one of the JAMA/Archives journals. view more (2006-12-19)
UCLA study helps ER physicians identify previously undetectable spinal injuries
A new national study indicates that patients with a cervical spinal injury (CSI) may harbor additional spinal damage not visible on regular x-rays. view more (2005-09-07)
Radiation, chemotherapy with liver transplant improves cancer survival
A new treatment for patients with a type of bile duct cancer promises a greater chance at survival by combining radiation, chemotherapy and liver transplantation, Mayo Clinic physicians report in the September issue of the Annals of Surgery. view more (2005-09-12)
Liver cells grown from patients' skin cells
Scientists at The Medical College of Wisconsin in Milwaukee have successfully produced liver cells from patients' skin cells opening the possibility of treating a wide range of diseases that affect liver function. view more (2009-10-09)

Study shows liver an excellent target for cancer gene therapy using viral vectors
A featured paper in the February 14 issue of Nature Cancer Gene Therapy demonstrates that cancer cells in the liver are excellent targets for gene therapy using adenoviral vectors, based upon a fundamental new understanding of the differences between cancerous and normal liver cells. view more (2007-02-15)
Over £4 million in injuries compensation awarded every year to victims of bar brawls
More than £4 million in criminal injuries compensation is awarded every year to victims of bar brawls, with glasses involved in more serious claims than bottles, shows research in Injury Prevention. Despite the increasing adoption of toughened glassware in the UK in licensed premises over the past decade, injuries from glasses and bottles... view more... (2003-03-17)
May hepatic granulomas be part of the histological spectrum of chronic hepatitis C?
While older large series of patients with hepatic granulomas have found sarcoidosis and tuberculosis to be the most common causes of hepatic granulomas, recent works have noted some patients with chronic hepatic C and hepatic granulomas and no other obvious associations. view more (2008-12-29)
Stem cell therapy for spinal injury
Researchers at Karolinska Institutet have shown how the transplantation of stem cells improves recovery from spinal injury. However, a painful condition can also develop, which can be prevented if the stem cells are supplemented with a certain gene that controls their maturing process. The results are important for planning of stem cell therapy... view more... (2005-02-13)
Radiologists and engineers develop a modified catheter to reduce contrast material injuries
Though rare, IV contrast material administration can sometimes result in patient injury. However researchers have developed a modified catheter that may prevent such events from occurring. view more (2009-09-21)
Fatty acids and caveolin-1 are essential in liver regeneration
Liver regulates lipid, carbohydrate and protein metabolism. It also segregates a number of proteins and enzymes, and eliminates toxic substances from the organism. Liver regeneration is a mostly unknown process at a molecular level, although it is essential for the good functioning of the liver, and indispensable in order to carry out some... view more...

Possible Hepatitis C vaccine
Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) infects up to 500,000 people in the UK alone, many of the infections going undiagnosed. It is the single biggest cause of people requiring a liver transplant in Britain. view more (2007-09-04)
New research promising for improving brain cell survival after brain injury
Scientists at Melbourne's Howard Florey Institute have found a protein in the brain that can save neurons from dying after experiencing traumatic brain injury from incidents such as stroke, car accidents and falls. view more (2006-07-11)
Youth sports concussion program points to need for proper treatment of concussion in children
Traumatic brain injury expert Gerard Gioia, PhD, Chief of Neuropsychology at Children's National Medical Center and director of the Safe Concussion Outcome, Recovery and Education (SCORE) Program, has published a successful concussion management program for children based on his pioneering work in this area. The program is one of the first of its... view more... (2008-03-24)
Who found some new mechanisms of HBV virulence?
This dreadful HBV is small in size. The genome of this virus is a partial double stranded circle. When made fully double stranded, this genome carries about 3000 base pairs, compared to 200 kilo base pairs of the genome of the smallpox virus. view more (2008-02-25)
Drawing a crowd: Understanding the signals that bring inflammatory cells into the lung
Understanding the connection between influx of immune cells into the lung and acute lung injury is essential, since lung damage tends to occur secondary to increased lung inflammation. view more (2006-02-17)
Developing a safer form of acetaminophen
Scientists in Louisiana are reporting development of a process for producing large batches of a new and potentially safer form of acetaminophen, the widely used pain-reliever now the source of growing concern over its potentially toxic effects on the liver. view more (2009-07-16)
