Anti-epilepsy drug risk on cognitive function for unborn children
Interim results of a study being conducted by scientists at the University of Liverpool suggest that children aged three years and younger, who are born to women taking the anti-epileptic drug sodium valproate whilst pregnant, are likely to have an IQ of six to nine points lower than average. view more (2009-07-22)
Lower IQ found in children of women who took epilepsy drug
Children of women who took the epilepsy drug valproate during pregnancy appear to be at a greater risk for lower IQ. view more (2007-05-04)
Canadians finding it tough to shake the salt habit
Canadians know that too much salt isn't good for their diets, but half still continue to shake it on, according to a new study by University of Alberta researchers. view more (2009-11-18)
Sodium contents of processed foods decoded
Sodium is essential for myriad biological processes including fluid balance and muscle contraction. view more (2010-01-26)
Opening a channel for salt retention
A research team has developed the first small molecule that can reversibly activate a key protein involved in balancing sodium levels, paving the way for drugs that can treat low blood pressure and related conditions. view more (2008-04-28)
COLONOSCOPY DANGER? (p 282)
Physicians should monitor blood sodium concentrations in patients developing long-term psychological or neurological symptoms after colonoscopy, report the authors of a research letter published in this week's issue of THE LANCET. After observing an unusual case of colonoscopy-induced hyponatraemic encephalopathy (degenerative brain disease caused... view more... (2001-01-24)
Low-sodium advice for asthmatics should be taken with a pinch of salt
Following a low-sodium diet does not appear to have any appreciable impact on asthma control, according to new research. view more (2008-07-16)
Oral sodium phosphate laxative inducing hyperphosphatemia relates with weight?
Colon cleansing is used widely for colonoscopic exploration and colonic and gynecological surgery. Oral sodium phosphate (OSP) solution is the osmotic laxative most commonly used for this purpose. view more (2010-01-15)
Combination treatment for migraine more effective than single medications
Combining two different types of treatment for migraine results in better symptom relief than taking either one of the medications, according to a study in the April 4 issue of JAMA. view more (2007-04-04)
Sodium bicarbonate reduces incidence of contrast-induced nephropathy
A meta-analysis of 17 randomised controlled trials has shown that pre-procedural treatment with sodium bicarbonate based hydration is the optimal treatment strategy to prevent contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN). view more (2009-05-13)
Protein's potential as a regulator of brain activity discovered
UC Irvine researchers have found that a protein best known for building connections between nerve cells and muscle also plays a role in controlling brain cell activity. view more (2006-04-21)
Sodium loses its luster: A liquid metal that's not really metallic
When melting sodium at high pressures, the material goes through a transition in which its electrical conductivity drops threefold. view more (2007-09-27)
The anti-diabetic effects of sodium tungstate revealed
The molecular mechanisms of tungstate activity in diabetes have been uncovered. Researchers writing in the open access journal BMC Genomics have identified the pathways through which sodium tungstate improves pancreatic function and beta cell proliferation. view more (2009-08-28)
Understanding and diagnosing an inherited pain syndrome
Yale School of Medicine researchers report the first demonstration that a single mutation in a human sodium channel gene can trigger pain in people with an inherited pain syndrome known as primary erythromelalgia, according to a study published this month in the journal Brain. view more (2005-07-14)
Sodium hydration therapies equally effective
In patients undergoing cardiac catheterization, contrast dye injection can sometimes cause contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN), otherwise known as acute renal failure. view more (2007-03-27)
Adding simehicone to sodium phosphate bowel preparation benefits colonscopy?
Bowel preparation has been reported inadequate in 10%-75% of colonoscopic examinations. view more (2009-07-08)
Epilepsy drug eases symptoms of inherited disorder that weakens muscles
An epilepsy drug that has been on the market for decades can ease the symptoms of adult sufferers with a genetic disorder that seriously weakens muscles. view more (2006-06-26)
High in sodium: Highly charged tungsten ions may diagnose fusion energy reactors
Just as health-food manufacturers work on developing the best possible sodium substitutes for low-salt diets, physicists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have acquired new knowledge on a promising sodium alternative of their own. view more (2009-09-10)
Pregnant Women with Epilepsy Face Dilemma: Continue Treatment and Risk Birth Defects?
An article in the journal Epilepsia reviewed recent data on the risks associated with continuation of medical treatment of women with epilepsy during their pregnancies. While the general consensus is that use of antiepileptic drugs is associated with increased risk for birth defects, physicians weigh this risk against that of uncontrolled... view more...

American Physiological Society
A new study concludes that low birthweight babies born with low sodium (salt) in their blood serum will likely consume large quantities of dietary sodium later in life. view more (2007-01-19)
