Readily available treatment could help prevent heart disease in kidney patients
The estimated 19 million Americans living with chronic kidney disease (CKD) face a high risk of death from cardiovascular disease. Recent studies have shown that a main source of this cardiovascular risk is CKD patients' high levels of blood phosphate. view more (2008-04-18)
FOSRENOL significantly reduces tablet burden for end-stage renal patients with hyperphosphatemia
According to data presented today at the National Kidney Foundation's (NKF) 2006 clinical meeting in Chicago, IL, a conversion to the non-calcium phosphate binder FOSRENOL (lanthanum carbonate) from other phosphate binder therapies provides continued mean serum phosphorus control for end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients with hyperphosphatemia,... view more...

What relates to the short-term effectiveness of biliary drainage?
Biliary drainage is performed as a palliative treatment of hilar cholangiocarcinoma. The reduction of serum bilirubin is usually the hallmark of successful biliary drainage. However, some patients may have persistent jaundice or scanty bile output after biliary drainage. view more (2009-11-18)
Fosrenol data show evidence of trends towards improved bone formation in CKD stage 5 patients
Treatment with the phosphate binder FOSRENOL(R) (lanthanum carbonate) was associated with slight improvements in bone formation in chronic kidney disease (CKD) Stage 5 patients with hyperphosphatemia (high phosphorus levels in the blood), according to long-term (two-year) data presented at the American Society of Nephrology (ASN) meeting. view more (2006-11-20)

Testing for insulin without the pitter-patter of little feet
In the January issue of Clinical Biochemistry, scientists and physicians with the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM) outline the method used to develop a cruelty-free ELISA for human insulin that uses monoclonal antibodies produced by cells cultured in an animal-serum-free medium. view more (2007-01-31)
MU Researchers Make Discovery in Molecular Mechanics of Phototropism
In a paper published in the Journal of Biological Chemistry, scientists at the University of Missouri-Columbia reported molecular-level discoveries about the mechanisms of phototropism, the directional growth of plants toward or away from light. view more (2007-07-09)
Urine collected and purified separately
From an environmental and cost perspective, it is a good idea to collect and purify urine separately, rather than simply allowing it to flow into the sewer view more (2006-06-23)
What are the essential characteristics of serum PG in Chinese?
Pepsinogen (PG) is a precursor for pepsin, a digestive enzyme specifically produced in the gastric mucosa. Human PG can be classified into two different biochemical and immunological properties, PGI and PGII. view more (2008-01-17)
DIAGNOSTIC TEST SHOULD LEAD TO BETTER CONTROL
A genetic test targeted at cattle could have a substantial impact in controlling sleeping sickness in east Africa, conclude authors of a fast-track study in this week's issue of THE LANCET. Sleeping sickness caused by Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense (transmitted by the tsetse fly) is fatal if not treated. Drug treatment can be associated with... view more... (2001-12-12)
How does sodium phosphate combined with bisacodyl affect small intestine?
Capsule endoscopy is a well accepted tool for evaluation of small bowel pathologies (e.g., bleeding sources). However, it has some limitations due to restricted recording time and reduced visibility by air and residual material. view more (2008-05-21)
Downsizing Of Personnel And Reorganization Induce Physiological Changes.
Downsizing of personnel and the ensuing reorganization are getting more and more in Europe. But they may affect your health. This is the message which comes from a study of the Institute of Psychosocial Factors of Health of Stockholm. The objective of this study was to assess potential physiological changes associated with... view more... (2002-03-19)
Researchers find new biomarker for fatal prostate cancer
New research findings out of Wake Forest University School of Medicine and the University of Wisconsin may help provide some direction for men diagnosed with prostate cancer about whether their cancer is likely to be life-threatening. view more (2009-02-13)
