Avian influenza strain primes brain for Parkinson's disease
At least one strain of the H5N1 avian influenza virus leaves survivors at significantly increased risk for Parkinson's disease and possibly other neurological problems later in life. view more (2009-08-11)
Gladstone study links Alzheimer's with toxic protein fragments
New research from the Gladstone Institute of Neurological Disease details exactly how a mutant form of the protein apolipoprotein E, also known as apoE, is a causative factor for Alzheimer's disease. view more (2005-12-15)
Coronary angiography may improve outcomes for cardiac arrest patients
People who suffer cardiac arrests and then receive coronary angiography are twice as likely to survive without significant brain damage compared with those who don't have the procedure, according to a study by University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine researchers. view more (2009-04-01)
ADHD genes found, known to play roles in neurodevelopment
Pediatric researchers have identified hundreds of gene variations that occur more frequently in children with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) than in children without ADHD. view more (2009-06-24)
Discovery of agile molecular motors could aid in treating motor neuron diseases
Over the last several months, the labs of Yale Goldman, MD, PhD, Director of the Pennsylvania Muscle Institute at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, and Erika Holzbaur, PhD, Professor of Physiology, have published a group of papers that, taken together, show proteins that function as molecular motors are surprisingly flexible and... view more...

Rare disease's gene may illuminate major disorders
Oregon Health & Science University researchers have identified the gene behind a group of rare, progressive childhood disorders caused by an abnormal buildup of iron in the brain. view more (2006-06-19)
Scripps research scientists discover chemical triggers for aggression in mice
The work, reported in an advance, online issue of the journal Nature on December 6, 2007, furthers the broad and important goal of elucidating how the neurological system can detect and respond to specific cues in of a sea of potential triggers. view more (2007-12-07)
EFFECTIVE EPILEPSY CONTROL IN RURAL AREAS OF LESS-DEVELOPED COUNTRIES
Inexpensive drugs given by appropriately trained health workers to compliant patients could help control epilepsy in rural areas of less-developed countries, conclude authors of a study in this weeks issue of THE LANCET . Epilepsy is a controllable disorder if detected and treated early. For most families in rural areas of less-developed... view more... (2001-04-25)
CANADIAN STUDY SUGGESTS GUIDELINES FOR USE OF CT SCANS FOR MINOR HEAD INJURY (p 1391)
A sensitive decision rule for CT scans described in this week's issue of THE LANCET could standardise and improve the emergency management of patients with minor head injury. An estimated one million patients with head injury are seen yearly in North American emergency departments and most are classified as minimal or minor. Patients with minimal... view more...

Late preterm births present serious risks to newborns
More than half a million babies are born preterm in the United States each year, and preterm births are on the rise. Late preterm births, or births that occur between 34 and 36 weeks (approximately 4 to 6 weeks before the mother's due date), account for more than 70% of preterm births. view more (2008-12-11)

2 different neural pathways regulate loss and regain of consciousness during general anesthesia
University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine researchers have answered long-running questions about the way that anesthetics act on the body, by showing that the cellular pathway for emerging from anesthesia is different from the one that drugs take to put patients to sleep during operations. view more (2008-01-14)
New groundbreaking treatment for oxygen-deprived newborns

Noninvasive Screening Test May Detect Narrowing in Intracranial Stents According to Study by Rush University Medical Center
Great advances have been made in treating blockages in the arteries of the brain using angioplasty to widen the narrowed artery and a stent to hold the artery open. view more (2009-02-12)
Eye in the sky: satellite-based observation to protect life on Earth
How can we protect our health against natural ultraviolet radiation? To what extent are our forests threatened by fires, insects and climatic anomalies? How can we protect ourselves better against the climatic disasters generated by El Ni'ħo? And how can we fight the pollution of our coastal areas? Better management of our environment requires an... view more... (1999-10-06)
Ultra-high-field MRI allows for earlier diagnosis of multiple sclerosis
Ultra-high-field (7T) MRI can detect multiple sclerosis lesions better than MRI which can lead to possible earlier diagnosis and treatment. view more (2007-05-07)
Researchers develop marker that identifies energy-producing centers in nerve cells
