Papers recently published online by Nature and the Nature Research Journals
NATURE MEDICINE(http://www.nature.com/naturemedicine) [1] Cadmium's disguise does damage to estrogen-sensitive tissues DOI: 10.1038/nm902 (http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/nm902) With 15,000 tons produced each year for batteries, alloys, and pigments, the heavy metal cadmium is one of the most serious environmental pollutants. Chronic exposure can... view more... (2003-07-15)
Millions of children denied drug that costs less than $3 a year
Millions of children with epilepsy in developing countries are being denied an effective drug that costs less than $3 a year, according to an editorial in this week's BMJ. view more (2007-06-08)
Miniature implanted devices could treat epilepsy, glaucoma
Purdue University researchers have developed new miniature devices designed to be implanted in the brain to predict and prevent epileptic seizures and a nanotech sensor for implantation in the eye to treat glaucoma. view more (2007-08-08)
Managed Care Organizations Evaluate Trends in Epilepsy to Provide Better Care
Computer algorithms were used in a recent study to identify the prevalence and incidence of epilepsy, and epilepsy-related mortality of patients in a managed care organization (MCO). Data showed that these tools were successful in identifying these trends and were useful in making informed decisions affecting the health care needs and quality of... view more... (2005-04-26)
Early hearing tests improve children's recovery from meningitis
Hearing loss and its impact in social interactions can be potentially minimized in children with bacterial meningitis through early identification, according to a study conducted at Baylor College of Medicine (BCM) in Houston. view more (2006-09-19)
Yeast mimics severity of mutations leading to fatal childhood illness
Scientists report that human gene mutations expressed in yeast cells can predict the severity of Batten Disease, a fatal nervous system disorder that begins during childhood. view more (2008-12-22)
Missouri genetic disorder's roots untangled by international team
An international team of researchers has partially untangled the genetic details of a mysterious disorder that formerly caused seizures and death in infant boys within a month of birth. view more (2005-10-20)
Some evidence of gender bias in intensive care
There is some evidence that intensive care is unfair and may be due to gender bias, shows research in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health. The research team analysed over 46,500 admissions to 91 intensive care units across England, Wales, and Northern Ireland. The data came from the Intensive Care National Audit and Research Centre... view more... (2002-05-13)
Scientists track impact of DNA damage in the developing brain
Switching off a key DNA repair system in the developing nervous system is linked to smaller brain size as well as problems in brain structures vital to movement, memory and emotion. view more (2009-07-28)
Risk factors identified for hearing loss in children with bacterial meningitis
Researchers have identified several risk factors that are associated with the development of hearing loss in children with bacterial meningitis. view more (2006-09-19)
Statins may treat blood vessel disorder that can lead to fatal strokes
In a finding that could save thousands of lives a year, University of Utah School of Medicine researchers have shown that a blood vessel disorder leading to unpredictable, sometimes fatal, hemorrhagic strokes, seizures, paralysis or other problems is treatable with the same statin drugs that millions of people take to control high cholesterol. view more (2009-01-27)
The Lancet Neurology launched
THE LANCET NEUROLOGY (TLN), the third monthly specialty review journal from THE LANCET Publishing Group, is launched this month. Building on the success of THE LANCET ONCOLOGY and THE LANCET INFECTIOUS DISEASES, TLN will provide clinicians and researchers with up to date information on the latest developments in neurology. Each issue of TLN will... view more... (2002-04-11)
Cell therapy slows progression of an inherited neurological disease; Improves motor skills in mice
In an important discovery, scientists have demonstrated that the progression of a type of genetic brain disease is slowed and symptoms are improved in mice that received cell transplants. view more (2006-03-23)
Study pinpoints key mechanism in brain development, raising question about use of antiseizure drug
Researchers at the Stanford University School of Medicine have identified a key molecular player in guiding the formation of synapses - the all-important connections between nerve cells - in the brain. view more (2009-10-09)
Gene Mutations Responsible For Rett Syndrome In Females Present Sporadically in Males
Gene mutations that are responsible for the majority (seventy to eighty percent) of cases of Rett syndrome (RTT) in females are not always lethal in males prior to birth, refuting previous assumptions, and can occur sporadically in infant males without a family history of the disorder. view more (2006-07-17)
People with Near Death Experiences Can Differ in Sleep-Wake Control
People who have had near death experiences often have different arousal systems controlling the sleep-wake states than people who have not had a near death experience. view more (2006-04-11)
Common treatment for methamphetamine overdose may damage brain cells
A common antipsychotic drug used in emergency rooms to treat methamphetamine overdose damages nerve cells in an area of the brain known to regulate movement, a new study shows. view more (2007-05-30)
Alcohol cravings and anxiety do not increase with repeat detoxification
People with alcohol problems have no greater anxiety or cravings after the second, third or fourth detoxification than the first, according to a new study by experimental psychologists at the University of Sussex. Previous studies have shown that the risk of seizures can increase with subsequent detoxifications due to the effects of withdrawal... view more... (2002-06-14)
Medication shows promise as a treatment for alcohol dependence
Alcohol-dependent patients who received the medication topiramate had fewer heavy drinking days, fewer drinks per day and more days of continuous abstinence than those who received placebo. view more (2007-10-10)
Economic Evaluation (A UK Evaluation) Shows Add-on Therapy With Keppra® (Levetiracetam) is a Cost-effective Alternative To Maintenance Of Standard Therapy For The Treatment Of Refractory Epilepsy
Belgium (4 April 2003) - New cost-effectiveness data presented today at the American Academy of Neurology (AAN) congress, 29th March-5th April, in Honolulu, Hawaii, USA, shows add-on therapy with Keppra* (levetiracetam) is a cost-effective alternative to standard treatment of refractory epilepsy1. The incremental cost-effectiveness analysis... view more... (2003-04-03)
