Mountain biking is considered a relatively safe sport, as accidents typically result in minor injuries.   view more (2006-01-18)

MGH researchers report successful new laser treatment for vocal-cord cancer
An innovative laser treatment for early vocal-cord cancer, developed at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH), successfully restores patients' voices without radiotherapy or traditional surgery, which can permanently damage vocal quality.   view more (2008-05-07)

Omega-3 intake during last months of pregnancy boosts an infant's cognitive and motor development
A study supervised by Université Laval researchers Gina Muckle and Éric Dewailly reveals that omega-3 intake during the last months of pregnancy boosts an infant's sensory, cognitive, and motor development. The details of this finding are published in a recent edition of the Journal of... view more (2008-04-10)

Bayer Pharmaceuticals Corporation (NYSE: BAY) today announced the initiation of a Phase III clinical trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Trasylol¬Æ (aprotinin injection) in reducing blood loss and the need for transfusion in adult patients undergoing elective spinal fusion surgery.   view more (2005-12-09)

Health risks, benefits come with delayed umbilical cord clamping
Waiting just a few minutes to clamp the umbilical cord after a baby is born could boost iron stores in the newborn's blood, but delayed cord clamping comes with an increased risk of jaundice, according to a new review of studies.   view more (2008-04-16)

Why the brain has 'gray matter'
By borrowing mathematical tools from theoretical physics, scientists have recently developed a theory that explains why the brain tissue of humans and other vertebrates is segregated into the familiar "gray matter" and "white matter."   view more (2006-01-12)

An MIT research team's latest finding suggests that stem cell therapies for the brain could be much more complicated than previously thought.   view more (2007-11-28)

New imaging approach promises insights into multiple sclerosis
Researchers have developed a way to use three types of microscopic imaging techniques simultaneously to analyze living tissue and learn more about the molecular mechanisms of multiple sclerosis, information that could help lead to earlier detection and new treatments.   view more (2007-04-18)

Lightning and electric shocks may increase risk of motor neurone disease
Some cases of motor neurone disease may be sparked by an electric shock or lightning, suggests research in the Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery, and Psychiatry. Motor neurone disease is a progressive degenerative disorder, which eventually results in paralysis of muscles in the body. At present,... view more (2001-07-18)
