Study Suggests Weight Fluctuation Does Not Increase the Risk of Death in Men
Weight loss and weight fluctuation, also known as weight cycling, does not appear to increase the risk of death in men, according to an article in the December issue of The Archives of Internal Medicine, one of the JAMA/Archives journals. The health consequences of being overweight or obese have... view more (2002-12-06)

Discovery of new gene for rare nerve disease may help doctors understand more common illnesses
A multi-national research team that includes a Saint Louis University neurologist has discovered a gene mutation that causes a rare form of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, an inherited progressive nerve disorder.   view more (2006-01-31)

Nanospheres that block pain of sensitive teeth
Nanospheres could help dentists fill the tiny holes in our teeth that make them incredibly sensitive, and that cause severe pain for millions of adults and children worldwide.   view more (2005-09-02)

Habitat loss and reserve network selection
What is the minimum combination of areas needed to protect at least one population of every species in a region? - This is a problem commonly addressed when aiming at cost-effective reserve networks. However, because the stress on reserve cost, the properties of the reserve-network for species... view more (2003-07-02)

Warning over severe weight loss caused by chewing gum
In this week's BMJ, doctors warn of excess sorbitol intake, a widely used sweetener in "sugar-free" products such as chewing gum and sweets.   view more (2008-01-11)

NIH researchers discover protein that appears to regulate bone mass loss, the cause of osteoporosis
An estimated ten million Americans suffer from osteoporosis, and another 34 million Americans are at risk of developing the disease, which is characterized by a severe loss of bone mineral density, fragile bones and an increased risk of hip, spine and wrist fractures.   view more (2007-03-06)

Little teeth suggest big jump in primate timeline
Tiny fossilized teeth excavated from an Indian open-pit coal mine could be the oldest Asian remains ever found of anthropoids, the primate lineage of today's monkeys, apes and humans, say researchers from Duke University and the Indian Institute of Technology.   view more (2008-08-05)

Epilepsy Study Shows Memory Loss After Brain Surgery
Epilepsia, the official publication of the International League Against Epilepsy, recently published a one-year follow-up study that finds some post-surgical epilepsy patients have a significant decline in verbal memory. This type of memory loss is associated with learning, recall and recognition.   view more (2004-10-12)

Weight loss surgery may be associated with bone loss
Weight loss surgery may be linked to deficiencies in calcium and vitamin D and bone loss, according to a new study accepted for publication in The Endocrine Society's Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism (JCEM).   view more (2008-09-23)

Loss of nerve cells may link constipation with achalasia of the oesophagus
Patients who have difficulty swallowing food may also be more likely to suffer from constipation, according to a preliminary study published this week in BMC Gastroenterology. The research suggests that patients with achalasia of the oesophagus, associated with a loss of nerve cells in the muscle... view more (2003-10-13)

Free radical scavenging is defective in periodontal (tooth loosening) disease
The capacity to mop up harmful oxygen free radicals seems to be reduced in people with periodontal disease, finds research in Molecular Pathology. Periodontal disease affects between 10 and 15% of people worldwide. A leading cause of tooth loss, it develops as a result of bacterial infection from a... view more (2002-11-22)

Many patients are not satisfied with electroconvulsive therapy
Around 11,000 people receive electroconvulsive therapy in England each year, yet controversy exists as to whether treatment is beneficial and whether patients are satisfied with it.   view more (2003-06-18)

Mayo Clinic study finds weight loss precedes dementia diagnosis in women
Mayo Clinic researchers have found that women who develop dementia experience a decline in weight as many as 10 years prior to the onset of memory loss, compared to peers who do not develop dementia.   view more (2006-07-17)

NYU dental researchers find link between C-section delivery and higher risk of cavities in newborns
A new study by NYU dental researchers suggests that women with dental caries (cavities) who deliver Caesarean-section babies should pay special attention to their newborns' oral health.   view more (2005-08-24)

Crowning glory
Research present in a forthcoming issue of the International Journal of Nanomanufacturing from Inderscience Publishers suggests that coating dental implants with a synthetic bone material prior to implantation allows such implant to become incorporated much more successfully into the jaw, leading... view more (2008-04-07)

USC researcher identifies stem cells in tendons that regenerate tissue in animal model
Athletes know that damage to a tendon can signal an end to their professional careers. But a consortium of scientists, led in part by University of Southern California (USC) School of Dentistry researcher Songtao Shi, has identified unique cells within the adult tendon that have stem-cell... view more (2007-09-10)

Climate warming and habitat loss threaten British Butterfly survival
Because butterflies are cold blooded, their growth and development are closely dependent on the weather and climate. When climates change insects can either shift breeding distributions to track it, stay put and adapt, or die out. Since the 1970s, climate warming in Britain has seen almost 20% of... view more (2003-06-05)

Atkins-type weight loss diets under scrutiny at Rowett Research Institute
A project about to get underway at Aberdeen's Rowett Research Institute hopes to provide new insights into the use of high-protein, low-carbohydrate weight-loss diets, with a view to developing healthy, longer-term weight reduction strategies. Non-smoking obese men aged between 20-55 years and in... view more (2004-07-07)

New radiation technique helps brain cancer patients keep their hair
