Patients with evidence of recent psychiatric illness have a high risk of sustaining head injury over the next 12 months, finds a study in the Journal of Neurology Neurosurgery and Psychiatry. view more (2002-04-19)
New therapeutic targets for neurodegenerative diseases
The focus of work in the Neurosciences Department's Neurobiology Laboratory at the University of the Basque Country's Faculty of Medicine and Odontology is the investigation of the molecular and cellular bases of neurodegenerative illnesses - those that affect the brain and the spinal cord. view more (2007-05-11)
Sprained ankle rehab complicated by delayed muscle response, BYU-Michigan study finds
Whether on the trail, at the gym, or even on the front-porch steps, what happens inside your ankle in the milliseconds following a single misstep could sentence you to a lifetime of ankle trouble. view more (2009-05-13)
Stretching does not prevent muscle soreness
Stretching before or after exercise does not prevent muscle soreness or reduce risk of injury, finds a study in this week's BMJ. Researchers in Australia reviewed five studies, involving 77 subjects, on the effect of stretching on muscle soreness. In all studies, participants were healthy young adults. Three studies evaluated stretching after... view more... (2002-08-28)
Anesthesia choices for C-section lead to similar outcomes for mom, baby
The review found little significant difference with respect to major clinical outcomes - although some women had lower blood counts and shivering after C-section with general anesthesia and some experienced more nausea and vomiting with regional anesthesia. view more (2006-10-19)
Pittsburgh researchers discover that certain chemicals in the blood may indicate brain injury
Researchers at Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh have found that increased levels of certain proteins in the blood or spinal fluid may signal brain injury in infants with vomiting, fussiness and several other common symptoms. view more (2006-02-16)
New U of T strategy will boost cord blood stem cells
A team of bioengineers led by the University of Toronto has discovered a way to increase the yield of stem cells from umbilical cord blood, to an extent which could broaden therapeutic use of these cells. view more (2005-10-19)
Genetic risk factor for common childhood respiratory infection identified
The severity of the common childhood infection, bronchiolitis, may be genetically determined, shows research in Thorax. Bronchiolitis is a respiratory infection which affects nearly all children by their second year. Occurring in winter epidemics, in most cases it is caused by respiratory syncytial virus, or RSV. Its primary symptom is... view more... (2000-11-16)
Study finds a high caloric diet may prevent the progression of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
A recent study directed by the Mount Sinai School of Medicine suggests a ketogenic- high caloric diet may prevent the progression of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). view more (2006-04-18)
Pioneering research into health benefits of beauty treatment
Pioneering medical research is going on at the University of Leicester into the use of Botulinum toxin - commonly thought of as a beauty treatment - for bladder problems. view more (2007-03-07)
Survey: Few physicians support private banking of umbilical cord blood
A survey of physicians has found broad support for the position that parents should not bank their newborns' umbilical cord blood in a private blood bank unless another member of the family is at risk for a blood disease that will require a stem cell transplant. view more (2009-03-09)
Updated rates of common US neurological disorders
In an up-to-date review of most of the common neurological disorders in the United States published in the January 30, 2007, issue of Neurology®, the scientific journal of the American Academy of Neurology, researchers reviewed studies from nearly 500 articles published between 1990 and 2005 to determine the best available data. view more (2007-01-30)
Feeling tired? You may be less likely to get hurt, MU researcher says
Sleepiness and sleep deprivation have long been associated with an increased risk of injury. However, the results of a recent study by a University of Missouri-Columbia researcher suggest that this commonly accepted theory might not be true. view more (2007-01-05)
Children's Hospital Oakland scientists first to discover new source for harvesting stem cells
A groundbreaking study conducted by Children's Hospital & Research Center Oakland is the first to reveal a new avenue for harvesting stem cells from a woman's placenta, or more specifically the discarded placentas of healthy newborns. view more (2009-06-23)
Scientists Probe Genetics Of Brain Vulnerability
Researchers at the University of Edinburgh are investigating why people with a specific genetic makeup are more likely to develop brain disease and less likely to make a good recovery from head injury. The study has important implications for those with the particular brain protein who choose to take part in potentially dangerous contact sports... view more... (2003-01-10)
New Research Reveals Head Injury in Children Has Lasting Impact
New research from the University of Warwick reveals that children with even mild head injury may be at risk of long-term complications, including personality changes, emotional, behavioural and learning problems. The study published in the Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery, and Psychiatry examined more than 500 children aged 5-15 years at head... view more... (2004-05-21)
Amateur boxing linked to brain cell injury
A study of 14 Swedish amateur boxers suggests that they have higher levels of certain chemicals in their cerebrospinal fluid in the days following a bout, indicating injuries to neurons and other cells important to brain function. view more (2006-09-12)
Fatal brain disease at work well before symptoms appear
University of Florida scientists have discovered why a paralyzing brain disorder speeds along more rapidly in some patients than others - a finding that may finally give researchers an entry point toward an effective treatment for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, often referred to as ALS or Lou Gehrig's disease. view more (2009-06-09)
Risk threshold of daily alcohol intake and drinking duration in liver injury?
Alcoholic threshold effect rather than a dose-response effect on mortality from alcohol-related liver injury. Alcohol intake, rather than the type of alcoholic beverage, was more significant to liver injury. view more (2008-05-21)
Research shows cord blood comparable to matched bone marrow
University of Minnesota researchers report that umbilical cord blood transplants may offer blood cancer patients better outcomes than bone marrow transplants, according to an analysis of outcome data performed at the Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research (CIBMTR), Medical College of Wisconsin, Milwaukee. view more (2007-06-08)
