Seasonal weight changes linked to metabolic syndrome
Seasonal changes in weight increase the risk for metabolic syndrome, a group of scientists from National Public Health Institute, Helsinki, Finland, reports in a study published in the January 23 issue of the online, open-access journal PLoS ONE. view more (2008-01-23)
Deaf-blind woman deafer than deaf-blind man
Dutch researcher Ronald Pennings has found new clinical and genetic characteristics for two different inherited syndromes that cause deaf-blindness. One of the two syndromes appears to cause more hearing impairment in women than in men. Pennings investigated Wolfram syndrome and Usher syndrome. These are two inherited syndromes that cause both... view more... (2004-05-07)
Family therapy helps get young ME sufferers back to school
Family therapy seems to help get young sufferers of chronic fatigue syndrome (ME) back to school, suggests research in the Archives of Disease in Childhood. ME is characterised by physical and mental fatigue. In children, symptoms include muscle pain, headache, sore throat and sleepiness. And specialist treatment often requires long periods away... view more... (2002-01-23)
Pramipexole delivered sustained efficacy in clinical trial of patients with Restless Legs Syndrome
Two large, randomised, placebo-controlled studies presented at the inaugural conference of the World Association of Sleep Medicine (WASM; Berlin, Germany) in October demonstrate that pramipexole delivered both short-term and sustained efficacy in patients suffering from Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS)1,2 enrolled in these trials. view more (2005-12-12)
Discovery of a molecular mechanism underlying limb architecture
A genetic study performed by Dr. Marie Kmita, a researcher at the Institut de Recherches Cliniques de Montréal (IRCM), in collaboration with Drs Basile Tarchini and Denis Duboule of the University of Geneva in Switzerland, sheds light on the origins of the architecture of arms and legs. view more (2006-10-26)
Study offers treatment hope for Rett syndrome
The symptoms of a severe autism spectrum disorder affecting at least 10,000 children in the UK could be reversed following research by Scottish scientists. view more (2007-02-09)
Not only the gene itself, its abnormal regulation can also trigger short stature
A specific gene is particularly frequently involved in the development of short stature. Researchers in Heidelberg have now discovered that sequences of genetic material on the X and Y chromosome that regulate this gene are also crucial for growth in children. view more (2009-08-26)
New insight into human ciliopathy
In the September 1st issue of G&D, Dr. Karen Oegema (UCSD) and colleagues identify the molecular basis of the lethal developmental disorder, hydrolethalus syndrome, and reveal that hydrolethalus syndrome actually belongs to the emerging class of human ciliopathy diseases. view more (2009-08-04)
People living alone double their risk of serious heart disease
People who live alone double their risk of serious heart disease as those who live with a partner. view more (2006-07-13)
Mutations common to cancer and developmental disorder examined in a novel disease model
New research sheds light on a common link between tumor formation and Costello Syndrome, an inherited developmental disorder in which patients have cardiac defects, mild mental retardation, and face-shape abnormalities. view more (2008-12-22)
Drop in daddy long legs is devastating bird populations
Warm summers are dramatically reducing populations of daddy long legs, which in turn is having a severe impact on the bird populations which rely on them for food. view more (2009-03-27)
Sinus infections may be a factor in toxic shock syndrome in children
Rhinosinusitis (infection and inflammation in the sinus passages surrounding the nose) appears to be a primary factor in about one-fifth of toxic shock syndrome cases in children. view more (2009-06-16)
Discovery of the genetic basis of two diseases
In a first article, Loeys et al describe a new aortic aneurysm syndrome characterized by the main triad of hypertelorism, bifid uvula and/or cleft palate and aortic aneurysms with arterial tortuosity. This new entity also presents with alterations of the skeletal, craniofacial, neurocognitve development. Importantly, the nature of the aortic... view more... (2005-03-17)
High risk of migraine, depression and chronic pain for IBS sufferers, large study shows
Patients with irritable bowel syndrome are more likely to suffer from conditions such as migraine or depression than other individuals. view more (2006-09-28)
Abnormal sleep patterns appear common in children with Down syndrome
More than half of children with Down syndrome may have abnormal sleep patterns and obstructive sleep apnea syndrome, and parents may not be able to determine whether their children are among those with sleep difficulties. view more (2006-04-18)
Mayo Clinic researchers find evidence for traumatic cause of carpal tunnel syndrome
New Mayo Clinic research suggests that a shearing injury of the tissue that lines the tendons within the carpal tunnel may cause carpal tunnel syndrome, a debilitating condition of the wrist and hand. view more (2006-11-10)
Genetic analysis reveals range of Rett syndrome
The first comprehensive analysis of the clinical effects of genetic mutations involved in Rett syndrome will enable affected families to receive a more accurate indication of their child's prognosis. view more (2008-03-11)

Regular didgeridoo playing reduces snoring and daytime sleepiness, finds a study published online by the BMJ today. view more (2005-12-23)
Used mattresses may increase risk of cot death
Babies who routinely sleep on an infant mattress previously used by another child may be at increased risk of cot death, finds a study in this week’s BMJ. view more (2002-10-30)
'Sick building syndrome' hallmark of job stress and lack of support, not unhealthy surroundings
"Sick building syndrome" is a hallmark of job stress and lack of support rather than an unhealthy building, suggests research in Occupational and Environmental Medicine. view more (2006-03-23)
