Varying prevalence among ethnic groups of gene mutation that increases risk of breast cancer
Among several U.S. racial/ethnic groups examined, Hispanic women were found to have the highest prevalence of the cancer-associated gene mutation BRCA1 at 3.5 percent, with Asian Americans having the lowest prevalence (0.5 percent), according to a study in the December 26 issue of JAMA.   view more (2007-12-26)

How brain pacemakers erase diseased messages
Brain "pacemakers" that have helped ease symptoms in people with Parkinson's disease and other movement disorders seem to work by drowning out the electrical signals of their diseased brains.   view more (2007-05-31)

The surprising power of the pill
Women who have tried to conceive using in vitro fertilization (IVF) methods are painfully aware that timing is of the essence. There are cancelled vacations, too many sick days taken from work, and the necessity to plan everything around "the treatment."   view more (2008-03-25)

Fertility experts urge clinics to consider 'natural cycle' IVF instead of routine use of ovarian stimulants
A team of UK fertility experts wants IVF clinics to consider taking advantage of a woman's natural cycle during infertility treatment instead of routinely using drugs to stimulate ovaries into producing extra eggs. A study published today (Wednesday 31 January) in Europe's leading reproductive medicine journal, Human Reproduction*, has found that... view more... (2001-01-28)

Studies to find better ways to preserve human eggs, ovarian tissue under way
The goal is to make human eggs, ovarian tissue, blood vessels, even whole organs available when needed.   view more (2007-06-07)

American research finds twins more likely to have premature menopause
In a study of more than 800 Australian and UK twin pairs, lead by Dr Roger Gosden, Professor of Reproductive Biology at Weill Medical College of Cornell University in New York, premature ovarian failure was between three and five times greater when measured at age 40 and age 45 than in the general population.   view more (2006-10-25)

New therapy based on magnetic stimulation shows promise for nondrug treatment for migraine
A new UCSF study examining the mechanism of a novel therapy that uses magnetic pulses to treat chronic migraine sufferers showed the treatment to be a promising alternative to medication.   view more (2009-04-30)

Engineer: Computer learning, electrical stimulation offer hope for paralyzed

iNOS expression may links chronic biliary inflammation to malignant transformation
It is well known that chronic biliary inflammation is a risk factor for biliary carcinogenesis. However, the molecular mechanisms of biliary carcinogenesis as a consequence of chronic biliary inflammation remain unclear.   view more (2007-12-20)

Program to freeze women's ovaries to preserve fertility after cancer
The Center for Reproductive Research at Northwestern University is launching a new, experimental research program for young women who may be at risk to lose their ovarian function and fertility following treatment for cancer.   view more (2006-11-30)

UCLA develops unique nerve-stimulation epilepsy treatment
A unique nerve-stimulation treatment for epilepsy developed at UCLA offers a potential new alternative for tens of thousands of individuals unable to control their seizures with medication and ineligible for surgery.   view more (2006-07-26)

Fatty spheres loaded with siRNA shrink ovarian cancer tumors in preclinical trial
A molecular "off" switch packaged in a tiny sphere penetrates deeply into ovarian cancer tumor cells, stifling a troublesome protein and drastically reducing the size of tumors.   view more (2006-08-15)

Penn research shows transcranial magnetic stimulation effective in treating major depression
Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine and other study sites have found that transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) - a non-invasive technique that excites neurons in the brain via magnetic pulses passed through the scalp - is a safe and effective, non-drug treatment with minimal side effects for patients with major... view more...

Mental and physical exercise delays dementia in fatal genetic disease
Scientists at Melbourne's Howard Florey Institute have discovered that mental and physical stimulation delays the onset of dementia in the fatal genetic disease, Huntington's disease.   view more (2008-01-24)

New technique could save cancer patients' fertility
The tiny translucent egg nestled in the special laboratory gel was a mere 30 days old, but its four-week birthday caused researchers to quietly celebrate.   view more (2009-07-14)

Strong magnetic fields aid severe depression
For severe depression, electro-shock therapy is nowadays the last hope. However, it can impair memory for weeks after therapy. A less aggressive alternative seems to be provided by what is known as "transcranial magnetic stimulation".   view more (2005-07-13)

Study unmasks how ovarian tumors evade immune system
Scientists at Johns Hopkins have determined how the characteristic shedding of fatty substances, or lipids, by ovarian tumors allows the cancer to evade the body's immune system, leaving the disease to spread unchecked   view more (2008-12-01)

Shedding some light on Parkinson's treatment

Survivors of childhood cancer run particular risks when pregnant and should be closely monitored.   view more (2009-07-01)

New treatment shows promise against recurrent gynecologic cancers
Recurrent and metastatic endometrial and ovarian cancers can be notoriously difficult to treat: They have spread to other organs and typically have developed resistance to chemotherapy; and patients already heavily treated with chemotherapy may not be able to endure more chemo.   view more (2009-04-22)
