Diabetic Neurological Disease Could Affect Central Nervous System
Damage to the nervous system associated with diabetes could influence the central nervous system in addition to the peripheral nervous system, suggest authors of a pilot study published in this week's issue of THE LANCET. The origins of the neurological disorder diabetic neuropathy (distal... view more (2001-07-05)

The cause of all hereditary sensory and autonomic neuropathy type II cases has been established
A major discovery that details the existence of a neuronal specific form of the WNK1 gene, henceforth referred to as the WNK1/HSN2 isoform, was recently completed by the research group of Dr. Guy A. Rouleau and published in the scientific journal The Journal of Clinical Investigation.   view more (2008-06-11)

Malfunctioning bone marrow cells sabotage nerve cells in diabetes
Malfunctioning bone marrow cells that produce insulin appear to cause a dangerous nerve condition called neuropathy that disables many people with diabetes, said a research team led by Baylor College of Medicine in Houston.   view more (2005-08-23)

Trial success for diabetic nerve therapy
A potentially ground-breaking treatment for nerve damage caused by diabetes has shown promising results in preclinical and early patient trials.   view more (2006-05-31)

Research helps identify precursors to foot disease in diabetes patients
Foot ulcerations are one of the most serious complications of diabetes, resulting in more than 80,000 lower-leg amputations each year in the U.S. alone.   view more (2005-11-14)

Abnormal glucose metabolism may contribute to chronic nerve disorder
Abnormal glucose metabolism, which occurs when the body has difficulty processing sugar (glucose) into energy, is twice as common among patients with chronic nerve dysfunction of unknown cause than among the general population and may be a risk factor for the condition.   view more (2006-06-13)

Diabetic nerve therapy shows 'striking' results
Research into a new treatment for nerve damage caused by diabetes could bring relief to millions of diabetic patients, say experts.   view more (2005-07-27)

A pain-free window into painful neuropathies
Scientists have demonstrated a new technique for detecting a painful nerve condition known as neuropathy, which affects millions of people with diabetes and many other patients as well.   view more (2007-12-06)

Mutation may cause inherited neuropathy
Mutations in a protein called dynein, required for the proper functioning of sensory nerve cells, can cause defects in mice that may provide crucial clues leading to better treatments for a human nerve disorder known as peripheral neuropathy, which affects about three percent of all those over age... view more (2007-12-26)

Nerve changes from diabetes begin earlier than previously known
Mayo Clinic researchers have found that subtle change in nerve conduction is the first reliable sign of nerve complications from diabetes and that this change can be measured long before other symptoms or signs of nerve damage develop.   view more (2005-09-30)

Impotency drugs may be associated with increased risk of optic nerve damage
Viagra and Cialis, the drugs used to treat impotency, may be associated with an increased risk of optic nerve damage in men with a history of heart attack or high blood pressure, suggests a small study in the British Journal of Ophthalmology.   view more (2006-01-17)

Discovery of new gene for rare nerve disease may help doctors understand more common illnesses
A multi-national research team that includes a Saint Louis University neurologist has discovered a gene mutation that causes a rare form of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, an inherited progressive nerve disorder.   view more (2006-01-31)

Researchers discover gene crucial for nerve cell insulation
Researchers funded by the National Institutes of Health have discovered how a defect in a single master gene disrupts the process by which several genes interact to create myelin, a fatty coating that covers nerve cells and increases the speed and reliability of their electrical signals.   view more (2007-04-17)

Mayo Clinic discovers potential link between celiac disease and cognitive decline
Mayo Clinic researchers have uncovered a new link between celiac disease, a digestive condition triggered by consumption of gluten, and dementia or other forms of cognitive decline.   view more (2006-10-10)

Doctor suggested cannabis for pain relief, say one in six medicinal users
Sixteen per cent of people who use cannabis for medical reasons say that their doctor suggested it, according to research published in the March issue of IJCP, the International Journal of Clinical Practice.   view more (2005-03-16)

Glaucoma patients at significantly higher risk for falls, motor vehicle accidents
Persons affected by glaucoma are over three times more likely to have been involved in falls and motor vehicle accidents than persons of the same age without the condition, say researchers from Dalhousie University in Canada.   view more (2007-03-01)

Study shows common vitamin and other micronutrient supplements reduce risks of TB recurrence
New findings show a link between micronutrient supplementation and reduced risk of recurrence during tuberculosis chemotherapy, according to a study published in the June 1 issue of The Journal of Infectious Diseases, now available online.   view more (2008-04-28)

New study in the journal Sleep finds that parasomnias are common and frequent in children
Parasomnias in children are common, and often more frequent than in adults. It is important for parents to take an active approach in helping their child overcome a sleep disorder, to consult with their child's pediatrician, and for an office evaluation of a child with any parasomnia to be thorough.   view more (2007-02-01)

Medicinal marijuana effective for neuropathic pain in HIV
In a double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial to assess the impact of smoked medical cannabis, or marijuana, on the neuropathic pain associated with HIV, researchers at the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine found that reported pain relief was greater with cannabis than... view more (2008-08-06)

Antidepressant drug may prevent recurrence of depression in patients with diabetes
A team of researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis found that an antidepressant medication may reduce the risk of recurrent depression and increase the length of time between depressive episodes in patients with diabetes.   view more (2006-05-09)

Smokeless cannabis delivery device efficient and less toxic
A smokeless cannabis-vaporizing device delivers the same level of active therapeutic chemical and produces the same biological effect as smoking cannabis, but without the harmful toxins, according to UCSF researchers.   view more (2007-05-16)

Smoked cannabis proven effective in treating neuropathic pain
Smoked cannabis eased pain induced in healthy volunteers, according to a study by researchers at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) Center for Medical Cannabis Research (CMCR.) However, the researchers found that less may be more.   view more (2007-10-25)

International Study Suggests Carboplatin Could Be First-line Chemotherapy Drug For Ovarian Cancer
Results of an international study in this week's issue of THE LANCET suggest that the drug carboplatin could become a first-line chemotherapeutic agent for the treatment of ovarian cancer. Carboplatin was found to be less toxic, although it had no overall survival benefit, compared with other drugs... view more (2002-08-14)
