A possible new phase for rheumatoid arthritis treatment.
The pathology of rheumatoid arthritis within the first few months after symptom onset is distinct from that of the early phases of other inflammatory joint diseases and also of established rheumatoid arthritis. New research published today in Arthritis Research & Therapy found that very early rheumatoid arthritis is characterised by a distinct... view more... (2005-04-05)

Gluten Intolerance
Nearly 1% of the population is celiac, i.e. they suffer from intolerance to gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley, rye and oats. The problem obliges sufferers to follow a diet based on natural foodstuffs such as legumes, meat, fish, eggs, vegetables, fruit and rice. Gluten, in sufferers, produces atrophy of the villi of the intestinal lining,... view more... (2004-08-05)

Bulimia And Impulsive Behavior Are Associated In Adolescence.
A group of investigators of the University of Tampere, headed by R.Kaltiala-Heino have found a strong association between bulimia and impulsive behavior. In clinical samples, bulimia seems to be associated with various dyscontrol behaviours suggesting weakness in impulse control. Population studies of adolescents, however, are needed. We evaluated... view more... (2003-01-13)

One-Touch Pathology Slide Microscanning
In clinical pathology the diagnostic process is a multi-step process where the pathologist views a prepared tissue sample on an optical microscope. The pathologist switches repeatedly between a low magnification, wide field view of the whole sample to a high magnification, narrow field view of selected portions of the sample. A diagnosis is made... view more... (2004-02-19)

High Probability Diagnostics
A lot of diseases are known to the medical science, each of the diseases having its own symptoms. Nevertheless, all diseases have something in common, regardless of the illness cause and the patients` individual reactions. These generalised regularities inherent in all diseases are called general pathology. Physicians can easily recognise... view more... (2002-06-21)

Butter-flavored popcorn ingredient suspected cause of lung disease
An unusually high incidence of lung disease has been diagnosed in workers at popcorn factories. Researchers are focusing on diacetyl, the ingredient which is largely responsible for the odor and flavor of the butter in popcorn, according to an article published by SAGE in the current issue of Toxicologic Pathology.   view more (2008-04-30)

Patient outcomes linked to biomarker levels by quantitative technology
Researchers in the Department of Pathology at Yale University School of Medicine report that when using current pathology methods of biomarker detection, the concentration of antibodies used dramatically alters the apparent relationship of biomarker level to clinical outcome.   view more (2005-12-21)

Prevalence of prenatal brain damage amongst infant deaths investigated
The researchers are currently completing a two-year, Scotland-wide study of the prevalence of prenatal brain damage in almost 400 babies who died around the time of their birth. The next, linked, project will be to look at a possible connection between the apolipoprotein E gene (ApoE) and brain damage in babies. This gene has a known association... view more... (1999-10-28)

CT colonography detects wide-range of extracolonic abnormalities in elderly patients
CT colonography (CTC), when used in elderly patients, can detect a high number of new and significant abnormalities outside the colon (including cirrhosis and tumors) and is well tolerated, according to a recent study conducted by researchers at St. James's University Hospital in Leeds, United Kingdom (UK).   view more (2007-11-16)
