Aspartame is safe, study says
Looking at more than 500 reports, including toxicological, clinical and epidemiological studies dating from 1970's preclinical work to the latest studies on the high-intensity sweetener, along with use levels and regulations data, an international expert panel from 10 universities and medical... view more (2007-09-12)

Epileptic seizures can be triggered by rubbing the skin
An epileptic seizure can be triggered by repeatedly rubbing a small, well defined area of skin, reports research in the Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery and Psychiatry. The phenomenon, described by the researchers as “rub epilepsy,” is described in a series of case studies. None of... view more (2001-03-13)

Getting ACL tears to heal themselves
A surgeon at Children's Hospital Boston may have found a better way to repair tears to the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), a knee injury suffered by more than 100,000 Americans each year, particularly teenage girls.   view more (2006-03-29)

Genetics behind developmental brain disorders may play a wider role with congenital diseases
Findings of a recent genetic study on developmental brain disorders may be the "tip of an iceberg" revealing factors involved with a number of congenital diseases, according to UC Irvine researchers.   view more (2006-07-07)

Study identifies new patterns of brain activation used in forming long-term memories

Ways to avoid hazards of heart bypass under study
The heart-lung bypass machine that stills the heart while surgeons bypass an adult's clogged arteries or repair a baby's malformed heart can also trigger a potentially deadly inflammatory response.   view more (2005-08-29)

Research unveils new hope for deadly childhood disease
Investigators at the University of Rochester Medical Center have uncovered a promising drug therapy that offers a ray of hope for children with Batten disease - a rare neurodegenerative disease that strikes seemingly healthy kids, progressively robs them of their abilities to see, reason and move,... view more (2007-12-13)

Gene Mutations Responsible For Rett Syndrome In Females Present Sporadically in Males
Gene mutations that are responsible for the majority (seventy to eighty percent) of cases of Rett syndrome (RTT) in females are not always lethal in males prior to birth, refuting previous assumptions, and can occur sporadically in infant males without a family history of the disorder.   view more (2006-07-17)

Super-thin Filter, 50 Atoms Thick, Sorts Individual Molecules
A newly designed porous membrane, so thin it's invisible edge-on, may revolutionize the way doctors and scientists manipulate objects as small as a molecule.   view more (2007-02-15)

REM sleep behavior disorder found to be precursor of brain-degenerating diseases later in life
Mayo Clinic sleep medicine specialists have found that almost two-thirds of patients with REM sleep behavior disorder (RBD) develop degenerative brain diseases by approximately 11 years after diagnosis of RBD.   view more (2006-06-19)

New insight into brain disorders
The function of an enzyme in the brain - strongly linked to a number of major brain diseases such as Alzheimer's, schizophrenia and bi-polar disorder - has been identified for the first time by researchers at the University of Bristol, UK.   view more (2007-03-01)

Comeback to a pre-injury level disappointing for professional baseball players
Only 45 percent of baseball players were able to return to the game at the same or higher level after shoulder or elbow surgery, according to new research released today during the 2008 American Orthopaedic Society for Sports Medicine Specialty Day at The Moscone Center.   view more (2008-03-10)

Nerve cells' power plants caught in a traffic jam
Nerve cells need lots of energy to work properly, and the energy needs to be delivered to the right place at the right time. By inducing a mutation in fruit flies, researchers have figured out that a particular gene governs the movement of cells' energy-producing units, called mitochondria.   view more (2005-08-05)

Hypothermia Helps Cardiac Patients to Live Longer
Approximately 375,000 Europeans suffer cardiac arrest every year - often with fatal consequences. Even upon successful resuscitation, several patients suffer severe and irreparable brain damage. One in seven patients could be saved and the amount of serious damage resulting from cardiac arrest... view more (2002-04-08)

Watch out for queasy skiers on the slopes

New ultrasound technique for cerebral palsy diagnosis
CHILDREN with cerebral palsy are set to benefit from the first study of its kind in the UK. Cerebral Palsy (CP) is notoriously difficult to manage because of the different degrees of severity and clinical difficulties in assessing the results of treatment. One of the answers could be to use... view more (2003-09-17)
