Large congenital and solitary intrahepatic arterioportal
A case report to be published on April 7, 2009 in the World Journal of Gastroenterology reported incidental findings of a large and solitary congenital APF in a 73-year-old woman. view more (2009-04-15)
'Fusion' protein found by Johns Hopkins researchers
Working with fruit flies, scientists at Johns Hopkins have discovered a protein required for two neighboring cells to fuse and become one "super cell." view more (2007-04-11)
Rand study shows solitary drug, alcohol and cigarette use puts adolescents at higher risk
Adolescents who use alcohol, cigarettes and marijuana while alone are more likely to have health and behavioral problems as young adults than their peers who consume the substances only in social settings, according to a RAND Corporation study issued today. view more (2006-12-08)
Patients' poor knowledge of their heart condition may have harmful consequences
Adults with congenital heart disease have important gaps in their knowledge about their condition, finds a study in Heart. Because this lack of knowledge may result in harmful behaviour or inappropriate restrictions, much needs to be done to improve patients' knowledge about their illness, report the authors. Researchers in Belgium surveyed 62... view more... (2001-06-12)
Surgery to improve academic ability in children with congenital heart disease may not work
Surgery to correct congenital heart disease in children may not result in the hoped for improvements in intellectual and academic ability, suggests research in Heart. It is generally believed that congenital heart disease may impair intellectual and academic performance either because of the diminished oxygen supply to the brain and/or missed... view more...

Collision-course science: when a single locust joins a swarm
If an animal is to cope with changing environmental conditions, activity in its nervous system must also change. Scientists from Cambridge and Oxford are studying these changes in collision-detecting nerve cells in the visual system of the locust, an insect that alternates between two lifestyles. Their research, to be presented at the SEB... view more... (2003-03-26)
Folic acid to prevent congenital heart defects
The Canadian policy of fortifying grain products with folic acid has already proved to be effective in preventing neural tube defects. view more (2009-05-15)
Aetiology of congenital heart disease explained
Researchers at Karolinska Institutet have identified the mechanisms behind the serious, congenital heart condition that can sometimes develop in children of women with a rheumatic disease. view more (2005-02-07)
Irritating smells alert special cells, NIH-funded study finds
If you cook, you know. Chop an onion and you risk crying over your cutting board as a burning sensation overwhelms your eyes and nose. Scientists do not know why certain chemical odors, like onion, ammonia and paint thinner, are so highly irritating, but new research in mice has uncovered an unexpected role for specific nasal cavity cells. view more (2008-03-04)
EARLIER DETECTION OF INFANT CATARACTS NEEDED
In twenty-nine per cent of cases, infant congenital and infantile cataracts are not detected by health professionals before the age of one year, despite current UK recommendations to routinely examine newborn babies, says a study in this week's BMJ carried out through the British Congenital Cataract Interest Group. view more (1999-02-02)
Researchers identify the gene responsible for a rare form of congenital anemia
The latest electronic edition of the journal Nature Genetics reports the discovery of a new gene responsible for congenital sideroblastic anemia, a rare disease, mainly characterized by the presence of ringed sideroblasts in the patients' bone marrow. view more (2009-05-11)
Genetic defect links respiratory disease and congenital heart disease
The same genetic defect that causes a rare respiratory disease may also lead to some types of congenital heart disease, according to a study from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Medicine. view more (2007-06-12)
Recent developments in the mathematical theory of water waves (Royal Society Philosophical Transactions A)
The last decade has seen vigorous activity in mathematical theory for the motion of water waves by several independent international research groups, and in 2001 a workshop on mathematical problems of nonlinear hydrodynamic waves was held at the conference centre at Oberwolfach, Southern Germany. The aim of this workshop was to bring these groups... view more... (2002-09-10)
Researchers provide study of early heart development and underlying cause of congenital heart defects
Congenital heart defects involve the malformation in one or more structures of the heart or blood vessels while the fetus is developing in the uterus. view more (2005-12-21)
Virus weaves itself into the DNA transferred from parents to babies
Parents expect to pass on their eye or hair color, their knobby knees or their big feet to their children through their genes. But they don't expect to pass on viruses through those same genes. view more (2008-09-03)
Multivitamins with 0.4 - 0.8 mg of folic acid are best in birth defect prevention
Periconceptional use of folic acid supplements is effective for the primary prevention of neural-tube defects and is recommended by reproductive health researchers. Recent research in this area, however, centres on two main debated questions. The first one is whether the use of folic acid alone or folic acid-containing multivitamins is better. The... view more... (2004-05-27)
NITRIC OXIDE BENEFIT FOR INFANTS UNDERGOING CONGENITAL HEART SURGERY (p 1464)
The cardiovascular problems associated with surgery for congenital heart disease in infants may be reduced with the use of postoperative nitric oxide, according to research published in this week's issue of THE LANCET. Congenital heart disease is present in five to ten per 1000 livebirths. If surgery is required, the most common defects are... view more... (2000-10-25)
Carnegie Mellon scientists offer explanation for 'face blindness'
For the first time, scientists have been able to map the disruption in neural circuitry of people suffering from congenital prosopagnosia, sometimes known as face blindness, and have been able to offer a biological explanation for this intriguing disorder. view more (2008-11-26)
A Mother's Obesity Can Cause Malformations In Her Children
A study of more than 2000 children of women with gestational diabetes (the diabetes that some women get during pregnancy) has revealed that obesity in mothers is one of the most decisive factors contributing to the appearance of congenital malformations in their children, even more so than the seriousness of the diabetes. The research, published... view more... (2004-07-16)
Potential therapy for congenital muscular dystrophy
Current research suggests laminin, a protein that helps cells stick together, may lead to enhanced muscle repair in muscular dystrophy. view more (2008-12-30)
