Urine test may help monitor disfiguring birthmarks
Vascular anomalies - birthmarks caused by abnormal development of arteries, capillaries, veins or lymph vessels - can sometimes begin to progress, requiring aggressive treatment to save the child's health or vision. view more (2005-07-06)
News from Earth's magnetic field
It is widely known that the geomagnetic field shields our planet against highly energetic cosmic particles. The importance of the magnetic field for answering geological, tectonic or even archaeological questions is less known. view more (2007-12-21)
Blood clots may hold key to treating dementia
Spontaneous blood clots or debris from arterial disease in the brain (known as cerebral emboli) may hold the key to preventing or treating dementia, say researchers from the University of Manchester in this week's BMJ. view more (2006-04-28)
The Advanced Age of the Father May Be a Risk Factor in Anomalies of the Foetus
A team of researchers at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, co-ordinated by Professors Josep Egozcue and Cristina Templado, has shown for the first time that the older a man is, the more probable it is that his spermatozoa will present chromosome anomalies. This is the first time that a lineal relationship has been established with... view more... (2002-02-27)
Small excess risk of birth defects associated with living near landfill sites
Researchers in this week's BMJ report small excess risks of birth defects and low birth weight among people living near landfill sites in Great Britain. As 80% of the British population lives within 2km of known landfill sites, these results have important implications and further work is needed to help explain them, say the authors. Postcodes... view more... (2001-08-15)
WHO centre calls for global action on cleft palate
A global research network is needed if scientists are ever going to understand and prevent cleft palate, say experts at the first World Health Organization Collaborating Centre set up to develop such a structure. view more (2005-05-11)
Hemangioma arteriovenous malformations or how endothelial cells escape apoptosis (programmed cell death).
Hemangiomas included several types of vascular abnormalities. The first classification of vascular abnormalities was proposed in 1982. Since angiography is becoming a common investigation, a better identification of the vascular abnormalities was possible. Hemangiomas are frequent in children and are present in 10 to 12 new born babies.... view more... (1999-09-14)
Aspirin protects patients at high risk of heart attack or stroke
Aspirin (or another antiplatelet drug) protects patients at high risk of serious vascular events, such as heart attack or stroke, and should be considered routinely for all such patients, concludes a study in this week's BMJ. view more (2002-01-09)
Study examines genetic defects linked to body abnormalities in patients with childhood cancer
Children with cancer have a higher prevalence of body abnormalities, such as asymmetric lower limbs and curvature of the spine, suggesting that the genetic defect responsible for the abnormality may play a role in the development of cancer, according to a study in the January 2 issue of JAMA. view more (2008-01-02)
Vascular and biliary complications after liver transplant can be reliably diagnosed when using CE-US
Contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CE-US) after a liver transplant is highly accurate in showing vascular as well as biliary complications, according to a recent study. view more (2007-05-07)
Breakthrough in understanding of blood vessel inflammation
Medical scientists at the University of Leicester have announced a breakthrough in their understanding of blood vessel inflammation - a serious condition which underlies health problems like organ failure in sepsis, the ability to recover from burns, and transplant rejection. The team in the Department of Cardiovascular Sciences at the University... view more... (2004-01-19)
Contribution of cholesterol transporter to vascular disease
Low-density lipoprotein (LDL), a transporter of cholesterol, may also contribute to vascular diseases by a previously unidentified mechanism, according to a report published online this week in EMBO reports. view more (2007-10-26)
Surprising rate of recurring heart attacks, strokes globally
Despite many medicines and other treatments for patients with vascular disease, a large international study shows these patients have a surprisingly high rate of recurring events such as strokes, heart attacks and hospitalizations as well as mortality. view more (2009-08-31)
Study shows CT angiography can replace digital subtraction angiography
CT angiography (CTA) alone is an effective, noninvasive means to detect peripheral vascular disease. view more (2007-05-07)
Importance of preventing congestion in heart failure
Preventing vascular congestion is an important mediator in heart failure, reports a study in the June issue of the Journal of Cardiac Failure published by Elsevier. view more (2009-06-04)
Incidental findings found when radiologists take a 'broader' look at renal MRA
Radiologists need to look beyond the renal arteries when doing renal MR angiography (MRA), a study conducted at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN suggests. view more (2007-09-25)
Studies find possible drug targets for improving vascular health
The enzyme nitric oxide synthase plays a role in peripheral vascular disease, a common disease that impairs the mobility of 25 percent of people over the age of 50, according to a Yale study in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS). view more (2005-08-26)
Most neuropsychological tests don't tell Alzheimer's disease from vascular dementia
Most of the cognitive tests that have been used to decide whether someone has Alzheimer's disease or vascular dementia have not been very helpful when used alone. view more (2009-07-09)
Who is the arch-criminal in the development of hepatopulmonary syndrome?
The hepatopulmonary syndrome (HPS) develops when an arterial oxygenation deficiency occurs due to intra-pulmonary vascular dilatations that are often associated with severe hepatic disease. HPS occurs in 15-20% of patients with liver cirrhosis undergoing evaluation for orthotopic liver transplantation. view more (2007-12-20)
Alterations in the brain's reward system related to attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder
Until now, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) was related to alterations in the brain affecting attention and cognitive processes. view more (2010-02-04)
