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... view more (2006-11-03)

The structure of resistance
A team of scientists from the University Paris Descartes has solved the structure of two proteins that allow bacteria to gain resistance to multiple types of antibiotics, according to a report in EMBO reports this month.   view more (2008-02-25)

Intimate kissing quadruples risk of meningitis in teenagers
Intimate kissing with multiple partners almost quadruples a teenager's risk of meningococcal disease, finds a study published online by the BMJ today.   view more (2006-02-10)

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... view more (2007-03-19)

Multiple Sclerosis: new MRI contrast medium enables early diagnosis in animal model
In an animal model of multiple sclerosis (MS), neuroradiologists and neurologists of the University hospitals of Heidelberg and Würzburg have been able to visualize inflammatory tissue damage, most of which had remained unrecognized up to now, with the aid of a new contrast medium,... view more (2008-08-04)

Can a vitamin alleviate chronic, progressive multiple sclerosis?
Researchers have found a possible way to protect people with multiple sclerosis (MS) from severe long-term disability: increase nervous-system levels of a vital compound, called nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD), by giving its chemical precursor - nicotinamide, a form of vitamin B3.   view more (2006-09-20)

Mice models developed at UCSD to benefit patients with multiple system atrophy
Researchers at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) School of Medicine have developed a series of transgenic mouse models of multiple system atrophy, a progressive, fatal neurological disorder.   view more (2005-11-17)

Maximum Comfort for Patients
A multiple-parameter medical network with wireless sensors for the measurement of vital body functions will be exhibited by Fraunhofer Institute for Integrated Circuits IIS at the CeBIT 2004. It is comfortable and convenient to wear - the wireless sensor wristband of Fraunhofer IIS for the... view more (2004-03-05)

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... view more (2007-01-29)

Drug reverses mental retardation caused by genetic disorder
UCLA researchers discovered that an FDA-approved drug reverses the brain dysfunction inflicted by a genetic disease called tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC).   view more (2008-06-23)

Study finds gene related to brain development and function plays causal role in schizophrenia
According to a new study conducted by researchers at Mount Sinai School of Medicine, variations of a gene related to brain development and function-OLIG2-may play a causal role in the development of schizophrenia, a hereditary psychiatric disorder with no known biological cause.   view more (2006-08-16)

Low vitamin D levels may be common in otherwise healthy children
Many otherwise healthy children and adolescents have low vitamin D levels, which may put them at risk for bone diseases such as rickets.   view more (2007-07-09)

“Shooting the messenger” to tackle autoimmune diseases
AIDS and other autoimmune diseases could be tackled with a range of new drugs that stop cells recognising certain chemical messages in blood, says Dr Gerry Graham from the Glasgow-based Institute for Cancer Research speaking at the BA Festival of Science today [3 September 2001]. Autoimmune... view more (2001-08-30)

Stem cells as cancer therapy
It is widely hoped that neural stem cells will eventually be useful for replacing nerves damaged by degenerative diseases like Alzheimer disease and multiple sclerosis. But there may also be another use for such stem cells-delivering anti-cancer drugs to cancer cells.   view more (2006-12-26)

New role for sugars: Research shows connections between sugar modifications in cells and cancer
In a ground-breaking study published in the top journal, Cell, Dr. James Dennis, senior investigator at the Samuel Lunenfeld Research Institute at Mount Sinai Hospital, has discovered a new role for sugars on proteins.   view more (2007-04-06)

Smoking marijuana impairs cognitive function in MS patients
People with multiple sclerosis (MS) who smoke marijuana are more likely to have emotional and memory problems.   view more (2008-02-14)

Response to immune protein determines pathology of multiple sclerosis
New research may help reveal why different parts of the brain can come under attack in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS). According to a new study in mice with an MS-like disease, the brain's response to a protein produced by invading T cells dictates whether it's the spinal cord or cerebellum... view more (2008-10-14)

After a decades-long search, scientists identify new genetic risk factors for multiple sclerosis
A pair of large-scale genetic studies supported by the National Institutes of Health has revealed two genes that influence the risk of getting multiple sclerosis (MS) - data sought since the discovery of the only other known MS susceptibility gene decades ago.   view more (2007-07-30)

High polyunsaturated fat and vitamin E intake may halve motor neurone disease risk
A high dietary intake of polyunsaturated fat and vitamin E seems to halve the risk of developing motor neurone disease, suggests research published ahead of print in the Journal of Neurology Neurosurgery and Psychiatry.   view more (2006-04-27)

Family members with MS likely to share onset age, but not disease severity
When more than one member of a family is affected by multiple sclerosis (MS), their ages at disease onset are likely to be similar, but disease severity may not be.   view more (2007-01-30)

UK research unveils new generation of immunological adjuvants
Investment from the White Rose Technology Seedcorn Fund (WRTSF) - the venture capital fund owned by the universities of Leeds, Sheffield and York (UK) - has funded the completion of a series of significant technical milestones in the development of a new family of `immunologically-rational`... view more (2002-08-13)

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)

Research teams uncover risk genes for multiple sclerosis
Two new large-scale genomic studies have honed in on the main genetic pathway associated with multiple sclerosis (MS), while also uncovering new genetic variations in the disease and suggesting a possible link between MS and other autoimmune diseases.   view more (2007-07-31)

Experimental MS drug shows promise, offers new window on disease
A drug therapy currently used to treat non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and rheumatoid arthritis had a significant effect in treating the most common form of multiple sclerosis in a small, short-term clinical trial.   view more (2008-02-14)
