A new national screening strategy in Denmark has halved the number of infants born with Down's syndrome and increased the number of infants diagnosed before birth by 30%, according to a study published on bmj.com today.   view more (2008-12-01)

Hit-and-run injury to the brain
A seven-year tracking study has prompted scientists to suggest that chronic fatigue syndrome could be the result of brain injuries inflicted during the early stages of glandular fever.   view more (2006-03-02)

Unique vascular dysfunction in women's heart disease described in major journal supplement
Although ischemic heart disease - the reduction of blood flow that can lead to heart attacks - is often considered a "man's disease," it takes the lives of more women than men each year. In fact, in 2000, about 60,000 more women than men died from cardiovascular disease.   view more (2006-02-06)

Too much fructose could leave dieters sugar shocked
Here's one tip for how to eat at the holidays: Don't take your cues from Santa. The sugary cookies and fat-laden fruitcakes the mythical North Pole resident eats are a no-no. But you don't have to go no-carb to stay fit at the holidays, either, University of Florida researchers say.   view more (2007-12-13)

Stem cell research produces a key discovery for Fragile X Syndrome
An important finding has been made by McMaster researchers about Fragile X Syndrome (FXS), a sex-linked genetic disorder that affects approximately one in 4,000 males and one in 6,000 females.   view more (2007-09-11)

Increased cognitive control in Tourette's syndrome
Though the repetitive vocal and motor tics characteristic of Tourette's syndrome may suggest an inability to control involuntary actions at the cognitive level, researchers have now found evidence that young people with Tourette's syndrome actually exhibit a greater level of cognitive control over... view more (2006-03-21)

Deep brain mapping to isolate evidence of Gulf War syndrome
Researchers at Southern Methodist University in Dallas are pioneering the use of spatial statistical modeling to analyze brain scan data from Persian Gulf War veterans, aiming to pinpoint specific areas of the their brains affected by Gulf War Syndrome.   view more (2008-11-20)

A different parenthood?
Becoming a parent changes most people's lives. To become a parent of a daughter with a sex chromosome deviation such as Turner syndrome entails further changes. These parents have to create their parenthood taking into consideration the new situation that parenting brings with it and the special... view more (2003-04-15)

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)

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)

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)

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)

'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... view more (2003-03-05)

Leptin has powerful effect on reward center in the brain

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... view more (2003-09-01)

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... 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)

Researchers uncover mechanisms of common inherited mental retardation

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.
