The Lancet Infectious Diseases (TLID) For immediate release
INFECTION IN AN AGEING WORLD The average life expectancy throughout developed countries has rapidly increased during the latter half of the 20th century, and geriatric infectious diseases have become an increasingly important issue. Ga'«tan Gavazzi and Karl-Heinz Krause (Department of Geriatrics, Geneva University Hospitals, Switzerland) explain... view more... (2002-10-30)

Cancer researchers add spice to research against rare neuromuscular disease
Scientists who focus on the molecular signaling that underlies prostate cancer have discovered a compound that shows promise against a debilitating neurodegenerative condition known as Kennedy's disease, which is caused by a mutant gene.   view more (2007-03-21)

New study shows how genes control blood proteins important to health
A new study shows how genes control levels of many blood proteins implicated in disease. The findings are the result of an international collaboration between scientists at the University of Exeter, the National Institute on Aging, and the Tuscany and Florence Health Agencies.   view more (2008-05-09)

New lab evidence suggests preventive effect of herbal supplement in prostate cancer
DHEA is a natural circulating hormone and the body's production of it decreases with age. Men take DHEA as an over-the-counter supplement because it has been suggested that DHEA can reverse aging or have anabolic effects since it can be metabolized in the body to androgens.   view more (2009-02-12)

Sexual function affected by stem cell transplant according to long-term study
A long-term study found that a type of stem cell transplant used for patients with life-threatening diseases, such as leukemia and lymphoma, results in decreased sexual function and activity for recipients.   view more (2007-09-19)

Walking prevents bone loss caused from prostate cancer treatment
Exercise may reduce, and even reverse, bone loss caused by hormone and radiation therapies used in the treatment of localized prostate cancer, thereby decreasing the potential risk of bone fractures and improving quality of life for these men.   view more (2007-10-29)

Hormone inhibitor promising for hard-to-treat prostate cancer
For prostate cancer patients whose tumors have continued to grow despite medical or surgical castration, a new drug candidate that inhibits production of male hormones anywhere in the body is showing promise in early trials.   view more (2007-07-09)

New medications show promise in treating drug-resistant prostate cancer
A new therapy for metastatic prostate cancer has shown considerable promise in early clinical trials involving patients whose disease has become resistant to current drugs.   view more (2009-04-08)

Referee!
"IT`S only a game," some might say. But with 40,000 people screaming at your every decision, it takes a special sort of person to keep a cool head. Despite their reputation for stoic impartiality, however, it seems that even referees are swayed by the baying mob. A researcher in Britain has shown that a hostile crowd can make them think twice... view more... (2002-05-08)

Drug reverses bone loss in men with prostate cancer during the first year of treatment
A common type of treatment used to protect bone density in menopausal women is also an effective therapy for advanced prostate cancer patients during the first year of hormone therapy.   view more (2006-02-27)

Hormone that affects finger length key to social behavior
The hormones, called androgens, are important in the development of masculine characteristics such as aggression and strength.    view more (2009-11-05)

Dartmouth researchers show effects of low dose arsenic on development
A team of Dartmouth Medical School (DMS) researchers has determined that low doses of arsenic disrupt the activity of a hormone critical in development.   view more (2007-11-15)

Treating male infertility with stem cells
New research has examined the usefulness of bone marrow stem cells for treating male infertility, with promising results. The related report by Lue et al, "Fate of bone marrow stem cells transplanted into the testis: potential implication for men with testicular failure," appears in the March issue of The American Journal of Pathology.   view more (2007-03-02)

Mechanism for neurodenegerative diseases linked to transport proteins
Hampering the transport of proteins within cells may underlie several adult-onset neurodegenerative diseases, such as Huntington's, ALS and Kennedy disease. Understanding how this cell transport is blocked in these diseases may offer targets for future therapy.   view more (2006-06-09)

6 environmental research studies reveal critical health risks from plastic
Exposure to Bisphenol A (BPA), phthalates and flame retardants (PBDEs) are strongly associated with adverse health effects on humans and laboratory animals.   view more (2008-10-03)

Why a common treatment for prostate cancer ultimately fails
Some of the drugs given to many men during their fight against prostate cancer can actually spur some cancer cells to grow, researchers have found. The findings were published online this week in a pair of papers in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.   view more (2008-08-22)
