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)
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)
African-Americans have unique lung cancer risks from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
Scientists at the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center have developed a risk prediction assessment for lung cancer specifically for African Americans that suggests a greater risk from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). view more (2008-09-05)
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)
Lung disease study hope for premature babies
A Europe-wide trial involving premature babies is investigating whether the risk of chronic lung disease can be halved if they are given nitric oxide gas to breathe shortly after birth. view more (2006-08-02)
UAB/Southern Research Scientists Discover How Flu Damages Lung Tissue
A protein in influenza virus that helps it multiply also damages lung epithelial cells, causing fluid buildup in the lungs, according to new research from the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) and Southern Research Institute. view more (2009-07-20)
New approach to treating cystic fibrosis lung infection shows promise
Researchers at the University of Calgary have found a new method of fighting severe lung infections in people with cystic fibrosis (CF). These findings are published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Science USA, this week. view more (2008-09-23)
Resistance to chemotherapy in lung cancer, optimizing flu vaccination strategies
Lung cancer is the most common cause of cancer-related death worldwide, in part because these tumors often are or become resistant to chemotherapy. view more (2006-10-03)
Enzyme and vitamin define the yin and yang of asthma
The allergen breathed in by a person with asthma triggers a proteinase or enzyme called MMP7 that activates a cascade of events to prompt an allergic reaction. view more (2009-03-30)
Women more vulnerable to tobacco carcinogens, new results show
Women may be more vulnerable than men to the cancer-causing effects of smoking tobacco, according to new results reported this week at the European Multidisciplinary Conference in Thoracic Oncology (EMCTO), Lugano, Switzerland. view more (2009-05-04)
Brain compensatory mechanisms enhance the recovery from spinal cord injury
A research team led by Tadashi Isa, a professor at the Japanese National Institute for Physiological Sciences, NIPS (SEIRIKEN), and Dr. Yukio Nishimura (University of Washington, Seattle), have found that brain compensatory mechanisms contribute to recovery from spinal cord injury. view more (2007-11-16)
Referees more professional than ever according to UniS research
Research by Professor Neil Rickman and Dr Robert Witt of the University of Surrey has shown that since football referees became full-time professionals in the 2001/2002 season, their match decisions have become more impartial. view more (2005-03-16)
Golfers are not doing enough warm-up exercises to enhance performance or prevent injury
Amateur golfers who think practising a couple of swings before they hit the course will improve their standard, are misguided, suggests research in the British Journal of Sports Medicine. Researchers observed the warm-ups of 1040 adult golfers at different venues over a period of three weeks in 1999. Warm-up's need to be comprehensive enough to... view more... (2001-03-22)

UCLA study shows traumatic brain injury haunts children for years
Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) is the single most common cause of death and disability in children and adolescents, according to the Centers for Disease Control. Now, according to a new study by UCLA researchers, the effects of a blow to the head, whether it's mild or a concussion, can linger for years. view more (2009-05-14)
Tumors stopped from spreading to new sites
For several types of cancer, persistently high levels of the soluble factor TGF-beta in the blood after surgery, chemotherapy, or radiation therapy correlate with increased risk of early metastasis and a poor prognosis. view more (2007-04-06)
Alzheimer's disease therapeutic prevents long-term damage from TBI in pre-clinical studies
A class of Alzheimer's disease drugs currently studied in clinical trials appears to reduce damage caused by traumatic brain injury in animals, researchers at Georgetown University Medical Center report in an upcoming advance online publication of Nature Medicine. view more (2009-03-16)
When the rules of the game are broken: Research studies sports injuries related to illegal activity
A study published in the February issue of Injury Prevention estimates that more than 98,000 sports injuries in U.S. high schools in 2005-2007 were directly related to an action that was ruled illegal activity by a referee, official or disciplinary committee. view more (2008-03-03)
Clinical trial to test stem cell approach for children with brain injury
A unique clinical trial will gauge the safety and potential of treating children suffering traumatic brain injury with stem cells derived from their own bone marrow starting early next year. view more (2005-12-21)
