Low-cost Parkinson's disease diagnostic test a world first
Scientists at Melbourne 's Howard Florey Institute have developed a cost-effective diagnostic test for Parkinson's disease (PD), which will also assist researchers to understand the genetic basis of PD and to undertake large-scale studies to identify the genes that cause this debilitating condition.   view more (2007-02-26)

Research suggests doctors should consider kidney-sparing surgery
A study of almost 1,500 kidney cancer patients treated at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center suggests that surgery to spare as much kidney tissue as possible may improve overall survival in patients who also have reduced kidney function at the time their cancer is diagnosed.   view more (2008-10-01)

Students affected in different ways by exam anxiety

Prostate specific antigen: A review of PSA use in screening for prostate cancer
Screening for prostate cancer using prostate specific antigen (PSA) testing continues to be problematic. Even though it is unproven whether population-wide screening with PSA can reduce death, illness or disability from prostate cancer, testing has become common in North America.   view more (2007-06-19)

Late life depression associated with blood flow changes in the brain
Depression in later life seems to be associated with changes in blood flow velocity in the main arteries of the brain, shows research in the Journal of Neurology Neurosurgery and Psychiatry. Hardened and thickened arteries, which are more typical in later life, do not explain the findings.   view more (2002-06-25)
