Researchers link two more genes to sudden infant death syndrome
Recent discoveries at Mayo Clinic added two more cardiac genes to the list of potential links to sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS), increasing the possibility that genetic defects of the heart may cause up to 15 percent of SIDS cases.   view more (2006-05-19)

They're not afraid of heights, they're voracious, and Dr. Spencer Behmer wants to know if you've seen them hanging out in oak trees or on your house.   view more (2007-04-18)

Virginia Bioinformatics Institute launches microbial database
Researchers at the Virginia Bioinformatics Institute at Virginia Tech have launched a publicly-available microbial database to host a range of microbial genome sequences.   view more (2006-03-08)

Researchers identify key step in cocaine-induced heart enlargement, sudden death
Cocaine, in concentrations commonly sold on the street, causes the abnormal buildup of primitive proteins in heart muscle - a process causing heart enlargement that can ultimately lead to sudden death.   view more (2006-09-08)

Mayo Clinic study finds risk of sudden cardiac death highest early after attack
People who survive a heart attack face the greatest risk of dying from sudden cardiac death (SCD) during the first month after leaving the hospital, according to a long-term community study by Mayo Clinic researchers of nearly 3,000 heart attack survivors.   view more (2008-11-05)

Successful prevention of sudden death by ICD has implications for heart failure
Researchers believe a device that treats electrical malfunctions in the heart is so effective at preventing sudden death that very ill patients are living long enough to develop heart failure.   view more (2006-06-13)

Hopkins study describes potentially fatal heart condition among young athletes
A Johns Hopkins study has provided the most comprehensive description to date of people most likely to develop a relatively rare heart condition, called arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia (ARVD), known to be among the top causes of sudden cardiac death among young athletes.   view more (2005-12-13)

Pacemakers Could Protect Patients With Epilepsy From Sudden Unexplained Death (pp 2157, 2212)
Results of a UK study in this week's issue of THE LANCET highlight how interruptions to the heart's rhythm is an under-reported consequence of epileptic seizures, and that the use of cardiac pacemakers by some epilepsy patients could play a future role in protecting against sudden unexplained death.   view more (2004-12-15)

Some evidence that breast feeding protects against cot death (SIDS)
Breastfeeding might protect against cot death, suggests research in the Archives of Disease in Childhood.   view more (2002-05-20)

Cell death following blood 'reflow' injury tracked to natural toxin
Researchers at Johns Hopkins have discovered what they believe is the "smoking gun" responsible for most tissue and organ damage after a period of blood oxygen loss followed by a sudden restoration of blood oxygen flow.   view more (2006-11-30)

Leading pediatricians group recommends infants sleep in cribs, not parents' beds
Revised American Academy of Pediatrics' guidelines on preventing sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) recommend putting babies to sleep in their own cribs instead of in their parents' beds.   view more (2005-10-10)

Parents-and-babies to be filmed in co-sleeping study
The study sets out to examine the natural interaction between parents and babies asleep together, which some researchers have suggested could help to prevent Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) or cot-death. The results could help to clarify advice to new parents.   view more (1998-09-04)

No pacemakers in the brain may explain cot death
A failure to 'gasp' has long been proposed as the basis for sudden infant death syndrome, or cot death.   view more (2006-02-13)

Methadone Even at Therapeutic Levels Can Kill
Methadone is a possible cause of sudden cardiac death even when it isn't overdosed but is taken at therapeutic levels primarily for relief of chronic pain or drug addiction withdrawal, a new study by Oregon Health & Science University researchers suggests.   view more (2008-01-10)

Mayo researchers discover overdiagnosis of long QT heart syndrome
Congenital long QT syndrome (LQTS) can be lethal if not diagnosed -- yet recent increased awareness of the disorder may lead to diagnosing patients when they don't have the syndrome and then prescribing treatments that restrict patients' lifestyles, a new Mayo Clinic study shows.   view more (2007-06-01)

Kidney disease increases risk of sudden cardiac death for ICD patients
End-stage kidney disease significantly increases the risk of life-threatening heart rhythm abnormalities in patients with implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs).   view more (2006-09-19)

Major risk factors identified for Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (p 185)
Results of European research in this week's issue of THE LANCET highlight how basic child-care strategies-such as preventing babies from sleeping face-down, using appropriate bedding, and discouraging bed-sharing with mothers who smoke-could reduce the risk of 'cot death' (sudden unexplained infant... view more (2004-01-14)

Whole-genome study at Johns Hopkins reveals a new gene associated with abnormal heart rhythm
Using a new genomic strategy that has the power to survey the entire human genome and identify genes with common variants that contribute to complex diseases, researchers at Johns Hopkins, together with scientists from Munich, Germany, and the Framingham Heart Study, U.S.A., have identified a gene... view more (2006-05-01)

Smithsonian scientists report new carbon dioxide study
