Scottish surgeon cured bacterial infection before Pasteur
An expert at the University of Sheffield has published a paper that dispels the popular belief that Louis Pasteur was the first person to demonstrate the connection between infective agents and disease in the 1860s. Dr. Milton Wainwright's research, published in Advances in Applied Microbiology,... view more (2003-10-03)

Brain-damage Threat From Invasive Assessment Of Heart-valve Stenosis (p 1241)
Authors of a study in this week's issue of THE LANCET warn against the widespread use of catheterisation to assess the extent of aortic-valve stenosis--this invasive procedure could increase the risk of cerebral blood clotting and brain damage. The severity of valvular aortic stenosis (a narrowing... view more (2003-04-09)

How does dioxin affect human health?
In an EU-funded project involving four partners , a study was made of 159 Austrian chemical workers who had been exposed to dioxin when producing herbicide between 1969 and 1973. Mortality and morbidity were analysed in 1996. All had exhibited chloracne, and analysis of related health-insurance... view more (1999-11-10)

Surgeon operates to rescue chimp with rare deformity
An orthopaedic surgeon at the University of Liverpool has performed a groundbreaking operation on a chimp in Cameroon to correct a deformity more commonly seen in dogs.   view more (2008-05-20)

Say 'goodbye' to back fat rolls
Even as many of us yearn to wear the sheer, body-hugging fashions available today, we are stopped by our rear reflection and the sight of dreaded back fat rolls and lumps.   view more (2008-09-12)

Just A GP? The Future Of General Practice
The University of Surrey was pleased to welcome guest speaker, Dr David Haslam, Chairman of Council of the Royal College of General Practitioners, to give a speech on 'The Future of General Practice' on July 20, School of Management, Guildford. General Practice is one of the most complex of medical... view more (2004-07-22)

Updated rates of common US neurological disorders
In an up-to-date review of most of the common neurological disorders in the United States published in the January 30, 2007, issue of Neurology®, the scientific journal of the American Academy of Neurology, researchers reviewed studies from nearly 500 articles published between 1990 and 2005 to... view more (2007-01-30)

New study finds healthy children of Alzheimer patients show early brain changes
Medical College of Wisconsin researchers in Milwaukee have reported that children of Alzheimer's patients who are carriers of a genetic risk factor for Alzheimer's disease have neurological changes that are detectable long before clinical symptoms may appear.   view more (2008-07-29)

Brain surgery to be broadcast live to a UK audience for first time at Dana Centre
For the first time, the public will have the extraordinary opportunity to observe live brain surgery in a pioneering event at the Science Museum's Dana Centre in London, on Thursday 28 October.   view more (2004-10-22)

Harvard scientists identify compounds that stimulate stem cell growth in the brain
cientists at Harvard University have identified key compounds that stimulate stem cell growth in the brain, which may one day lead to restored function for people affected by Parkinson's disease, strokes, multiple sclerosis, and a wide range of neurological disorders.   view more (2006-09-01)

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)

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)

Through the eye of the needle
Doctors performing minimally invasive surgery cannot directly observe their work. Magnetic resonance imaging gives them an internal view of the patient's body, but metal surgical instruments can cause interference. Fiber-reinforced plastics offer a viable alternative. Thanks to advances in medical... view more (2004-02-03)

Some evidence of gender bias in intensive care
There is some evidence that intensive care is unfair and may be due to gender bias, shows research in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health. The research team analysed over 46,500 admissions to 91 intensive care units across England, Wales, and Northern Ireland. The data came from the... view more (2002-05-13)

Puncture needles off the roll
Doctors performing minimally invasive surgery can observe their work through magnetic resonance imaging. But metal instruments can cause interference. Fiber-reinforced plastics - such as a multifunction needle manufactured on a continuous roll - offer a viable alternative.   view more (2004-11-09)

Wartime Spitfire Strain Test Monitors Stress On Key Heart Artery - Aortic Aneurysm
Researchers at the University of Warwick have found a way of using a test devised in the 1930s, and used to gauge the stress on the superchargers in wartime spitfire fighter planes, to model the stress that surgical procedures would put on an aortic aneurysm. An aortic aneurysm is a dangerous bulge... view more (2004-08-04)

Researchers use MRI to predict recovery after spinal cord injury
Using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), radiologists can better predict the likelihood of full or partial recovery of patients with acute spinal cord injuries (SCI).   view more (2007-05-29)

Neurological disease raises risk of complications from flu
As another flu season approaches, patients with neurological and neuromuscular disease are especially vulnerable to respiratory failure caused by influenza.   view more (2005-11-02)

Gladstone researchers identify new drug target for Alzheimer's disease
Researchers at the Gladstone Institute of Neurological Disease have identified a potential new way to stop brain cell death related to Alzheimer's disease.   view more (2005-12-02)

MRI Can Eliminate Unnecessary Surgery for Children with Suspected Musculoskeletal Infections
Pre-treatment MRI can eliminate unnecessary diagnostic or surgical procedures for children with suspected musculoskeletal infections (septic arthritis and osteomyelitis) according to a study performed at Vanderbilt Children's Hospital in Nashville, TN.   view more (2008-11-04)

Parkinson disease can lead to errors on driving test
People with Parkinson disease were more likely to make more safety mistakes during a driving test than people with no neurological disorders, according to a study published in the November 28, 2006, issue of Neurology, the scientific journal of the American Academy of Neurology.   view more (2006-11-28)
