Genetic mutation identified for eye complaint
An international research collaboration including research teams from the Children's Hospital in Boston (USA), King's College London and the Peninsula Medical School, has identified a gene that, when mutated, causes Duane syndrome.   view more (2008-07-25)

Noninvasive screening in early pregnancy reduces Down's births by 50 percent
Non-invasive screening of pregnant women with ultrasound early in pregnancy, combined with maternal blood analysis, has reduced the number of children born in Denmark with Down Syndrome by 50%.   view more (2007-06-18)

Discovery of follicles offers hope of babies for Turner's syndrome girls
Lausanne, Switzerland: Swedish researchers have found that teenage girls with Turner's syndrome still have follicles in their ovaries which may be capable of producing eggs. This discovery offers hope that Turner's syndrome girls may be able to have babies in the future. Mr Julius Hreinsson, an... view more (2001-07-03)

Scientists show that mitochondrial DNA variants are linked to risk factors for type 2 diabetes
Today, researchers report for the first time that genetic variants in mitochondria-energy-producing structures harboring DNA that are inherited only from the mother-are directly linked to metabolic markers for type 2 diabetes.   view more (2007-08-13)

New findings explain genetic disorder's unique shift
Findings reported in this month's issue of PLoS Biology give insight into the unique characteristics of the birth defect known as Prader-Willi Syndrome (PWS), and at the same time, may help explain the way that a certain type of gene is expressed in all humans.   view more (2008-08-26)

Understanding and diagnosing an inherited pain syndrome
Yale School of Medicine researchers report the first demonstration that a single mutation in a human sodium channel gene can trigger pain in people with an inherited pain syndrome known as primary erythromelalgia, according to a study published this month in the journal Brain.   view more (2005-07-14)

A common denominator of inflammations and fatty liver
Many cancer patients lose a lot of weight during their disease: Fat and muscle mass are reduced, free fatty acids accumulate in the liver, and this eventually leads to fatty liver in affected patients.   view more (2008-05-28)

Exercise important in reducing size of abdominal fat cells
Reducing the size of abdominal fat cells - which are a risk factor for diabetes and heart disease - takes more than cutting calories, according to new research from Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center.   view more (2006-08-08)

Successful treatment for acute heart failure remains elusive
In recent years, cardiologists have begun to view acute heart failure syndrome (AHFS) as a distinct condition, not merely a part of the chronic heart failure continuum.   view more (2005-12-21)

Constant dryness in the mouth, what is the solution?
Dryness in the mouth is not an agreeable sensation and much less so if the condition becomes an illness. Effectively, there are illnesses related to lack of saliva, as is the case of the sicca-sicca disease and the Goujerot-Sjögren syndrome. The research regarding these uncommon illnesses... view more (2003-09-11)

Largest review of Loeys-Dietz Syndrome to date
People with Loeys-Dietz syndrome have wideset eyes, a cleft palate or split uvula (the tissue that hangs down in the back of the throat), and a convoluted arrangement of the body's blood vessels, in addition to aggressive swelling of the aorta.   view more (2006-08-24)

Hormone helps mice 'hibernate,' survive starvation
A key hormone enables starving mice to alter their metabolism and "hibernate" to conserve energy, revealing a novel molecular target for drugs to treat human obesity and metabolic disorders, UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers have found.   view more (2007-06-06)

Household transmission of SARS: Lessons learned
In the 2003 outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) in Toronto, Ontario, about 20% of cases resulted from household transmission (spread of the infection within a household).   view more (2006-11-07)

Knowing looks: Using gaze aversion to tell when children are learning
People use eye contact in a variety of ways every minute of every day but how often do you find yourself staring into space with concentrating on an issue or problem? Psychologists now know that people who are carrying out a complex task tend to look away from anyone else who is nearby. They refer... view more (2008-06-03)

Researchers find differences in swallowing mechanism of Rett syndrome patients
Researchers at Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center have found that the reflux and swallowing problems that are common symptoms in patients with Rett syndrome and other neurological impairments, may be caused by a different mechanism than they are in healthy individuals.   view more (2008-08-05)

Improving your diet may not help you beat stress
Research published online in the Journal of Proteome Research, shows how improving the diet of rats placed in stressful environments did not normalise their metabolic profile, an indicator of their health.   view more (2006-07-06)

Protein target for diabetes drug regulates blood pressure
University of Iowa researchers have identified a molecular pathway in blood vessels that controls blood pressure and vascular function and may help explain why certain drugs for type II diabetes also appear to lower patients' blood pressure. The study is published in the March 5 issue of Cell... view more (2008-03-05)

Yerkes researchers find link between psychological stress and overeating
Researchers at the Yerkes National Primate Research Center, Emory University, have found socially subordinate female rhesus macaques over consume calorie-rich foods at a significantly higher level than do dominant females.   view more (2008-05-14)

Green tea may delay onset of type 1 diabetes
A powerful antioxidant in green tea may prevent or delay the onset of type 1 diabetes, Medical College of Georgia researchers say.   view more (2008-10-24)

Channels of cellular communication
A potential new channel of communication between different cellular compartments has been discovered by researchers at the University of Leeds. Dr Jim Deuchars` group show how the protein P2X7, which forms a channel known to mediate ion movements between cells and their external environment, may... view more (2002-11-08)

U of M researchers find new, more effective treatment for toxic shock syndrome
Researchers at the University of Minnesota and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign have developed a new therapeutic that neutralizes Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS) more effectively than other treatments.   view more (2007-05-22)

Drug mimics low-cal diet to ward off weight gain, boost running endurance
A drug designed to specifically hit a protein linked to the life-extending benefits of a meager diet can essentially trick the body into believing food is scarce even when it isn't, suggests a new report in the November Cell Metabolism.   view more (2008-11-05)

Brainy robot breaks new ground in Parkinson's research
Researchers at the University of Sheffield have successfully built a 'brain-bot' that could lead to a breakthrough in our understanding of illnesses such as Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease, schizophrenia and Tourette's syndrome. Brain-bots are robots that are part-controlled by computer... view more (2003-04-16)

Prediction models help identify increased risk of gene mutation linked with colorectal cancer
Prediction models that incorporate certain personal and family medical history characteristics can help identify high-risk patients who are likely to have a gene mutation associated with a type of colorectal cancer.   view more (2006-09-27)

Multislice CT speeds the diagnosis of chest pain in the emergency room
