Lenalidomide safe as single therapy for elderly CLL patients
The oral medication lenalidomide is safe and well-tolerated for elderly patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia, a group without a well-defined frontline therapy for their disease, researchers from The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center reported today at the 50th annual meeting of the American Society of Hematology. view more (2008-12-08)
Further evidence showing treatment benefits of beta interferon for multiple sclerosis (pp 1463, 1489)
Results of a European study in this week's issue of THE LANCET provide further evidence that patients with early symptoms of multiple sclerosis given a weekly injection with interferon beta are less likely to progress to full clinical disease after two years follow-up. The study showed that the drug reduced patients' loss of brain tissue compared... view more... (2004-10-20)
Treating MS is expensive, but cost falls over time
The cost of drug treatment multiple sclerosis is high, but decreases with prolonged treatment up to 20 years, concludes a study in this week's BMJ. Researchers evaluated the cost effectiveness of four drugs currently licensed for the treatment of multiple sclerosis in the United Kingdom (three interferon betas and glatiramer acetate). They... view more... (2003-03-05)
Multiple organ failure and malignant tumors main causes of death in ICU and hospital
Multiple organ failure is the main cause of death in intensive care units. A study published today in the journal Critical Care shows that the main risk factors for death in the intensive care unit are central nervous system failure and cardiovascular failure, and the most frequent cause of death is multiple organ failure. view more (2006-11-03)

Procedure predicts embryos most likely to result in pregnancy
To address the high rate of multiple births resulting from in-vitro-fertilization (IVF), researchers at Yale School of Medicine and McGill University have developed a procedure that estimates the reproductive potential of individual embryos, possibly leading to a decrease in multiple-infant births and a higher success rate in women undergoing IVF. view more (2007-03-19)
Patients' views about their illness can help treatment planning
What is it like to be chronically ill? Those people with severe illnesses such as Huntington's disease or multiple sclerosis do not see their illness in the same way as health professionals do. Associate professor Ad Kaptein, Leiden University, Netherlands organised an international symposium on patients' representations of their illnesses at... view more... (2001-08-31)
Genes influence both susceptibility to, and progression of, multiple sclerosis
Susceptibility to multiple sclerosis (MS), and the way in which the disease progresses, are genetically determined, suggests research in the Journal of Neurology Neurosurgery and Psychiatry. view more (2001-11-23)
U of Minnesota study finds thalidomide shows promise for treatment of recurrent ovarian cancer
Thalidomide, a drug blamed in the 1950s for causing birth defects, is now showing promise as a safe and effective treatment for women with recurrent ovarian cancer, according to a study led by a University of Minnesota Cancer Center researcher. view more (2008-02-28)
Mice models developed at UCSD to benefit patients with multiple system atrophy

Kids at risk: Assessing diet and exercise behaviors in adolescents
Do adolescents get enough exercise and eat the right foods? Is there too much fat in their diets? In a study published in the February 2007 issue of the American Journal of Preventive Medicine, researchers analyzed the behavior of almost 900 11-to-15 year-olds and found that nearly 80% had multiple physical activity and dietary risk behaviors,... view more...

Detection Of Antibodies Could Identify MS Patients Who Do Not Respond Well To Interferon Beta (P1184)
Danish research published in this week's issue of THE LANCET highlights how the detection of antibodies to interferon beta-the first choice treatment for multiple sclerosis patients-could be important in identifying patients who do not respond well to interferon beta, with implications for the provision of alternative drug therapy. Interferon beta... view more... (2003-10-08)
Why do some queen bees eat their worker bee's eggs?
Worker bees, wasps, and ants are often considered neuter. But in many species they are females with ovaries, who although unable to mate, can lay unfertilized eggs which turn into males if reared. view more (2006-12-05)
