A 50-year-old method for delivering chemotherapy directly into the abdomen is making a comeback as investigators have found that it increases survival-by more than a year-in some women with advanced ovarian cancer. view more (2006-01-05)
Pain automatically activates facial muscle groups
A study has found that people who facially express pain in a more intense way are not exaggerating if their perception of a painful stimulation is controlled. view more (2008-10-28)
Therapeutic vaccine for ovarian cancer in clinical trials
Prima BioMed (ASX: PRR) announced today at the "Thank You" Day celebration at Sydney Children's Hospital that it has completed initial recruitment of its Phase IIa clinical trial in ovarian cancer at the Austin Hospital. view more (2005-10-12)
Scientists take next step in understanding potential target for Ovarian cancer treatment
A traffic cop protein in the cell may have an even more important role: transporting a messenger protein that tells components in the nucleus to stop cell growth. The discovery of this additional role may lead to diagnostic tools and earlier treatments for ovarian cancer. view more (2007-07-17)
Metal detectors pass safety test on pregnant women
Hand held metal detectors (HHMDs), such as those used for security checks in airports, do not cause harmful heating or nerve stimulation in pregnant women, according to research published today (22 July 2003) in the Institute of Physics journal Physics in Medicine and Biology. The role of the Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH),... view more... (2003-07-21)
Questionnaire identifies women at risk of inherited breast or ovarian cancer
A simplified way for patients to report and update their family medical histories could help identify women who have inherited genetic mutations that increase their risk for breast or ovarian cancer. view more (2005-09-26)
An implanted nerve stimulator helps drop foot sufferers walk faster and better
The partners in EUREKA project E! 2526 IMPULSE have developed an implanted nerve stimulator which helps patients with drop foot to walk much better. Over 500,000 people suffer from a stroke each year in Europe and 10% of stroke victims are left with drop foot, which causes severe walking problems. view more (2005-02-15)
Coating improves electrical stimulation therapy used for Parkinson's, depression, chronic pain
Researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have designed a way to improve electrical stimulation of nerves by outfitting electrodes with the latest in chemically engineered fashion: a coating of basic black, formed from carbon nanotubes. view more (2008-09-16)
Recurrent low-grade carcinoma of the ovary less responsive to chemo than more common ovarian cancers
Recurrent low-grade serous carcinoma, a rare type of ovarian cancer, is less sensitive to chemotherapy and therefore more difficult to treat than more common high-grade ovarian cancers, according to researchers from The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center. view more (2008-03-11)
New platinum-phosphate compounds kill ovarian cancer cells
A new class of compounds called phosphaplatins can effectively kill ovarian, testicular, head and neck cancer cells with potentially less toxicity than conventional drugs, according to a new study published this week in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. view more (2008-11-20)
Two minutes of magnetic stimulation can change your brain for an hour
A couple of minutes is all it takes to 'knock out' bits of your brain for an hour, according to a new study by a University College London (UCL) team. The team have been working on ways to improve a method known as transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and are now using their adapted version of TMS to investigate possible treatments for stroke... view more...

Egg donation for stem cell research — balancing the risks and benefits
In the wake of the scandal involving fraudulent cloning research, concerns about the welfare of women donating eggs for research purposes have arisen. view more (2006-06-20)
Preclinical study shows chronic stress agitates ovarian cancer; reducing stress slows tumor growth
When mice with ovarian cancer are stressed, their tumors grow and spread more quickly, but that effect can be blocked using a medication commonly prescribed for heart disease. view more (2006-07-24)
Exercise and mental stimulation bothboost mouse memory late in life
Physical exercise is known to be good for the aging brain, but what about mental stimulation" Does enrichment that helps older people work well for the young and middle aged, or do they need something else" A report in the August issue of Behavioral Neuroscience tells how, in an animal experiment, older adults appear to benefit from... view more...

Study finds Viagra increases release of key reproductive hormone
Researchers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison report this month that sildenafil increases the amount of oxytocin released by stimulation of the posterior pituitary gland, a small structure directly underneath the brain that regulates hormone levels in response to neural signals. view more (2007-08-27)
Motor skill learning may be enhanced by mild brain stimulation
People who received a mild electrical current to a motor control area of the brain were significantly better able to learn and perform a complex motor task than those in control groups. The findings could hold promise for enhancing rehabilitation for people with traumatic brain injury, stroke and other conditions. view more (2009-01-20)
Genetic testing for hereditary breast and ovarian cancer: its effect on women
One in ten women opted to have prophylactic mastectomy and nearly half opted to have their ovaries removed in the year following genetic tests which showed they were at risk of hereditary breast and ovarian cancer (HBOC), a Belgian clinical psychologist reported at the 3rd European Breast Cancer Conference in Barcelona on Wednesday 20 March. view more (2002-03-18)
Sleep chemical central to effectiveness of deep brain stimulation
A brain chemical that makes us sleepy also appears to play a central role in the success of deep brain stimulation to ease symptoms in patients with Parkinson's disease and other brain disorders. The surprising finding is outlined in a paper published online Dec. 23 in Nature Medicine. view more (2007-12-26)
Ovarian function and fertility preserved in women with severe systemic lupus erythematosus
Ovarian function can be preserved and disease activity controlled in women with severe systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) when treated with a 6-month course of cyclophosphamide (CYC), a chemotherapy drug, followed by the immunosuppressant mycophenolate mofetil (MMF). view more (2008-06-13)
UBC discovery may lead to 'smart' therapies for breast, ovarian cancer
New non-toxic and targeted therapies for metastatic breast and ovarian cancers may now be possible, thanks to a discovery by a team of researchers at the University of British Columbia. view more (2007-03-19)
