Search for cancer genes unlikely to succeed, say experts
The hunt to find common genes that are associated with cancer is unlikely to be successful, say experts in this week's BMJ. view more (2006-05-12)
Inhaled nitric oxide safe for tiny preemie lungs, UCSF study finds
A nationwide study led by researchers at UCSF provides evidence that inhaled nitric oxide is safe and effective for the prevention of the most common type of long-term lung disease of very premature infants. view more (2007-08-07)
Heredity plays big role in heart disease risk factors
Heredity plays a major role in determining the blood lipid profile and heart rate variability of blacks and whites, two major risk factors for coronary artery disease, researchers say. view more (2005-10-17)
Protein marker for schizophrenia risk
A protein found in immune cells may be a reliable marker for schizophrenia risk, report researchers in a new proteomics study appearing in the July issue of Molecular and Cellular proteomics. view more (2008-07-09)
New treatment could reduce chronic lung disease in premature babies
A less traumatic way of delivering surfactant, a lung lubricant that premature babies need to help them breathe, could reduce the incidence of respiratory problems they'll have later, Medical College of Georgia physicians say. view more (2008-04-30)
Gestational age not only factor in outcome of severely premature healthy babies
Researchers at The University of Texas Medical School at Houston say a crucial decision on whether to give intensive care to extremely premature infants should not be solely based on the infant's gestational age. view more (2008-04-17)
Music played to premature babies may lessen pain and improve feeding habits
Music played to premature babies may help to reduce their pain and encourage better oral feeding, suggests research published ahead of print in the Archives of Disease in Childhood. view more (2009-05-28)
Tufted bacteria cause infection in premature babies
Bacteria that normally reside on the skin of healthy people can cause serious infections in premature babies. A group of researchers at Karolinska Institutet have now found an explanation for why a certain kind of staphylococcus can attach itself to the skin and quickly develop dynamic ecosystems: the bacteria are like tufted, self-adhesive... view more...

What makes a fungus virulent? It's lipase
Infection with the fungus Candida parapsilosis is a major problem for individuals in intensive care units, as well as for premature infants and immunocompromised adults. Despite this, little is known about which of its genes account for its virulence. view more (2007-09-14)
Researchers discover genetics markers to help predict risk for preterm birth
New research is uncovering genetic links that may help explain some of the mystifying premature births among women who start pregnancy with no known risk factors. view more (2006-08-22)
Premature babies have altered sensory responses in later life

Men and women whose thighs are less than 60cm in circumference have a higher risk of premature death and heart disease, according to research published on bmj.com today. view more (2009-09-04)
Induced labor has some benefits in cases of premature water break
A new review of recent studies suggests there are some benefits to inducing labor in women whose water breaks at the point of full-term pregnancy but before the start of labor. view more (2006-01-25)
Pregnancy research leads to progress on premature delivery
The University of Rochester has filed a patent on several ideas to help prevent early labor and the premature delivery of low-birth-weight babies. view more (2006-03-23)
Lifestyle can alter gene activity, lead to insulin resistance
A Finnish study of identical twins has found that physical inactivity and acquired obesity can impair expression of the genes which help the cells produce energy. view more (2008-06-19)
Stress, childhood trauma linked to chronic fatigue syndrome in adults
raumatic events in childhood and stress or emotional instability at any period in life may be associated with the development of chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS). view more (2006-11-07)
Study finds 'rescue course' of antenatal steroids improves outcome in premature babies
In a study to be presented today at the Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine's (SMFM) annual meeting, researchers will unveil findings that show that premature babies born before 34 weeks have a 31 percent reduction in serious complications when given a "rescue course" of Antenatal Corticosteroids (ACS) steroids with no adverse side... view more...

Complications early in pregnancy or in previous pregnancies adversely affect existing or subsequent pregnancies
Complications in early pregnancy or in previous pregnancies can predict the likelihood of further problems in current or subsequent pregnancies, according to research carried out by an international group of experts. view more (2009-06-29)
Common reflux treatment linked to life threatening bowel infection in premature infants
Researchers in an NIH network have found that premature infants given a common class of non-prescription drugs used to treat acid reflux are slightly more likely to develop a potentially fatal bowel disorder than are infants who are not treated with the drugs. view more (2006-02-09)
