Scientists discover possible new treatment for genetic diseases
Scientists from Imperial College London, the University of Leicester, and Hammersmith Hospital have found a way to stop certain types of genetic diseases from occurring by modifying the way DNA is turned into proteins. The research published in this month's Proceedings of the National Academy of... view more (2003-03-14)

Delayed Umbilical Cord Clamping Boosts Iron in Infants
Just a two-minute delay in clamping a baby's umbilical cord can boost the child's iron reserves and prevent anemia for months, report nutritionists at the University of California, Davis.   view more (2006-06-19)

Human stem cells show promise against fatal children's diseases
Scientists have used human stem cells to dramatically improve the condition of mice with a neurological condition similar to a set of diseases in children that are invariably fatal, according to an article in the June issue of the journal Cell Stem Cell.   view more (2008-06-05)

New hope for stroke patients
If a stroke patient doesn't get treatment within approximately the first three hours of symptoms, there's not much doctors can do to limit damage to the brain.   view more (2008-08-26)

New micro instrument controls medicine flows
Research scientists at the Micro and Nanotechnology Laboratory in Oslo have developed a flow metre with fluid channels thinner than a strand of hair. The new device controls that patients receive the correct dosage of medicine.   view more (2004-11-03)

Antibody leads to repair of myelin sheath in lab study of multiple sclerosis and related disorders
Mayo Clinic researchers have found that a human antibody administered in a single low dose in laboratory mouse models can repair myelin, the insulating covering of nerves that when damaged can lead to multiple sclerosis and other disorders of the central nervous system.   view more (2007-10-09)

Alcohol consumption can cause too much cell death, fetal abnormalities
The initial signs of fetal alcohol syndrome are slight but classic: facial malformations such as a flat and high upper lip, small eye openings and a short nose.   view more (2008-08-26)

Stanford scientists make major breakthrough in regenerative medicine
Findings described in a new study by Stanford scientists may be the first step toward a major revolution in human regenerative medicine-a future where advanced organ damage can be repaired by the body itself.   view more (2007-04-25)

No link between high blood pressure and headaches
Severe headaches are not a sign of high blood pressure, as is commonly thought, finds research in the Journal of Neurology Neurosurgery and Psychiatry. If anything, high blood pressure seems to reduce the risk of these headaches, the study shows.   view more (2002-03-21)

Targeting astrocytes slows disease progression in ALS
In what the researchers say could be promising news in the quest to find a therapy to slow the progression of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), or Lou Gehrig's disease, scientists at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) School of Medicine have shown that targeting neuronal support... view more (2008-02-04)

Gel that halves wound healing times wins Medical Futures award
A bio-active gel developed by UCL scientists that is capable of healing wounds in half the time it takes currently, has won the award for the Best Biotechnology Start-Up at the Medical Futures Innovation Awards in London. Nexagon works by speeding up the rate of wound closure and reducing... view more (2003-11-03)

K.U.Leuven Scientist Develops New Surgical Technique For Laryngeal Tumours
Professor Pierre Delaere (Otorhinolaryngology section, K.U.Leuven) has in the past decade developed a new surgical technique for larynx reconstruction. In an increasing number of cases, this innovative technique can save the larynx in patients suffering from vocal cord cancer. Patients are able to... view more (2004-07-28)

Cord blood cells may widen treatment window for stroke
Researchers at the University of South Florida found that human umbilical cord blood cells administered to rats two days following a stroke greatly curbed the brain's inflammatory response, reducing the size of the stroke and resulting in greatly improved recovery.   view more (2005-11-14)

New technique offers relief for patients with spinal tumors
A radiologist at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) School of Medicine has developed a new procedure to treat fractured vertebrae caused by spinal tumors, a procedure that may decrease the risk of complications, which are experienced by 5 to 10% of patients with malignant tumors of the... view more (2006-05-08)

Giving children preventive antibiotics within one hour before they undergo spinal surgery greatly reduces the risk for serious infections after the surgery.   view more (2008-07-21)

Robotic exoskeleton replaces muscle work
A robotic exoskeleton controlled by the wearer's own nervous system could help users regain limb function, which is encouraging news for people with partial nervous system impairment, say University of Michigan researchers.   view more (2007-02-12)

Literature review shows spinal manipulation beneficial for neck pain
A new literature review finds evidence that patients with chronic neck pain enrolled in clinical trials reported significant improvement following chiropractic spinal manipulation.   view more (2007-05-02)

MS patients have higher spinal fluid levels of suspicious immune molecule
A protein that helps keep immune cells quiet is more abundant in the spinal fluid of patients with multiple sclerosis (MS), further boosting suspicion that the protein, TREM-2, may be an important contributor to the disease.   view more (2008-09-30)

Infliximab May Offer Hope For Patients Living With Spondyloarthropathy
For the first time, there may be an effective therapeutic option for severe cases of spondyloarthropathies (SpA), a group of rheumatic inflammatory diseases that affect the spinal column, peripheral joints and tendons. The study, published in the March 6 issue of "Arthritis and Rheumatism", found... view more (2002-03-07)
