ARDS mortality is unchanged since 1994
Mortality in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) has not fallen since 1994, according to a comprehensive review of major studies that assessed ARDS deaths. This disappointing finding contradicts the common wisdom that ARDS mortality has been in steady decline. view more (2009-01-23)
UNC-Duke study: Impaired brain plasticity linked to Angelman syndrome learning deficits
How might disruption of a single gene in the brain cause the severe cognitive deficits associated with Angelman syndrome, a neurogenetic disorder? Researchers at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Medicine and Duke University now believe they have the answer: impaired brain plasticity. view more (2009-05-11)
Right breakfast bread keeps blood sugar in check all day
If you eat the right grains for breakfast, such as whole-grain barley or rye, the regulation of your blood sugar is facilitated after breakfast, lunch, and dinner. view more (2007-09-06)
Restricted fetal growth increases risk of irritable bowel syndrome
Babies weighing less than the standard weight seem to be at significantly greater risk of developing irritable bowel syndrome or IBS, suggests research published ahead of print in the journal Gut. view more (2006-09-28)
Human RecQ helicases, homologous recombination and genomic instability
Two independent papers in the December 1st issue of G&D detail how human RecQ helicases regulate homologous recombination and protect genome stability. view more (2007-11-15)
'QUADRUPLE TEST' OFFERS BEST PREDICTION FOR DOWN'S SYNDROME (pp 794, 835)
Authors of a research letter in this week's issue of THE LANCET highlight how screening for Down's syndrome based on maternal age and four markers in maternal blood should be used worldwide-the quadruple test is far more effective than screening based on maternal age alone. Screening for Down's syndrome is widely practised early in the second... view more... (2003-03-05)
A chunky metabolism
Many bacteria break their metabolic processes into chunks. That may be logically tidy, but it's often metabolically inefficient. Researchers have now figured out the factors that tend to make bacteria more modular. view more (2008-05-30)
Are New Functional Medical Disorders A Manifestation Of Environmental Toxicity?
In recent years there has been the emergence of a number of new illnesses that are attributed to environmental factors: multiple chemical sensitivity, syndrome related to dental amalgam and silicone breats implant, electrical hypersensitivity, sick-building syndrome, toner-related illness, and so on. Peter Henningsen (University of Heidelberg)... view more... (2003-09-01)
Research indicates vegetable juice can be an easy, enjoyable way to increase daily intake
Decades of studies have documented the link between eating a diet rich in vegetables and multiple health benefits, yet nearly eight out of 10 people worldwide fall short of the daily recommendation. view more (2009-10-21)
Mayo Clinic Researchers Suspect a Novel Gene is Causing Restless Legs Syndrome in a Large Family
In 2005, a woman who had trouble sleeping asked Siong-Chi Lin, M.D., for help. Dr. Lin, a sleep disorders specialist at the Mayo Clinic campus in Florida, diagnosed restless legs syndrome. view more (2009-02-04)
A single mechanism for hypertension, insulin resistance and immune suppression
Many of the 75 million Americans with essential hypertension also develop diabetes and other complications in addition to their high blood pressure, and researchers have discovered a common molecular mechanism in a strain of rat that explains why such metabolic disorders arise together in mammals. view more (2008-06-30)
Snoring pregnant women at higher risk for gestational diabetes
If you are pregnant and your mate complains your frequent snoring is rattling the bedroom windows, you may have bigger problems than an annoyed, sleep-deprived partner. view more (2009-06-11)
Best antenatal screening: study results
A study of about 50,000 pregnant women has shown that the integrated test for Down's syndrome offers a "significantly higher" level of safety than the screening available to most women in the UK. The study, which will be reported in the June Journal of Medical Screening, was carried out by Professor Nicholas Wald and colleagues at the... view more... (2003-06-02)
Gene discovery may shed light on kidney disease
In a finding that may have broader implications for understanding kidney disorders, genetics researchers at The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia have identified a second gene that gives rise to Alagille syndrome, a genetic developmental disease that affects multiple organs. view more (2006-08-01)
Language support is important for children with autism
Teachers and parents must be vigilant in observing difficulties with language comprehension, reading and spelling in children and young people with autism, Asperger's syndrome and ADHD. view more (2009-11-10)
Researchers uncover mechanisms of common inherited mental retardation
Researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center are uncovering how brain cells are affected in Fragile X syndrome, the most common cause of inherited mental retardation and the most common genetic cause of autism. view more (2008-01-09)
Leptin has powerful effect on reward center in the brain
Leptin, a hormone critical for normal food intake and metabolism, exerts a strong effect on appetite by acting in the mid-brain region as well as in the hypothalamus. view more (2006-09-29)
Study uncovers mutation responsible for Noonan Syndrome
Scientists have discovered that mutations in a gene known as SOS1 account for many cases of Noonan syndrome (NS), a common childhood genetic disorder which occurs in one in 1,000-2,500 live births. view more (2006-12-05)
Post-abortion syndrome
Anti-abortion groups now characterise abortion as trauma, damaging two people: the foetus and the woman undergoing the procedure. The claim that abortion damages women psychologically and gives rise to a form of post-traumatic stress disorder is routinely made by anti-abortion groups and has become a standard component of their case against... view more...

Major risk factors identified for Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (p 185)
Results of European research in this week's issue of THE LANCET highlight how basic child-care strategies-such as preventing babies from sleeping face-down, using appropriate bedding, and discouraging bed-sharing with mothers who smoke-could reduce the risk of 'cot death' (sudden unexplained infant death syndrome [SIDS]). Four large studies were... view more... (2004-01-14)
