Study points to genes responsible for malaria parasite's survival in attempts to eradicate it
Malaria is a nasty and often fatal disease, which may lead to kidney failure, seizures, permanent neurological damage, coma, and death. There are four types of Plasmodium parasites that cause the disease, of which falciparum, the subject of the recent study, is the most deadly. view more (2006-06-20)
Certain combination therapy found more effective for treating malaria in African children
Ugandan children who received the combination therapy of artemether-lumefantrine experienced a lower rate of treatment failure compared to other combination therapies, according to a study in the May 23/30 issue of JAMA, a theme issue on malaria. view more (2007-05-23)
Monkey malaria widespread in humans and potentially fatal
A potentially fatal species of malaria is being commonly misdiagnosed as a more benign form of the disease, thereby putting lives at risk. view more (2008-01-16)
Diabetes complications rooted in faulty cell repair
University of Florida researchers say primitive cells that act like molecular maintenance men-traveling throughout the body to repair damaged blood vessels-become too rigid to move in patients with diabetes, fueling the disease's vascular complications. view more (2006-01-26)
Moderate exercise may delay congestive heart failure, CU-Boulder study suggests
A new University of Colorado at Boulder study involving laboratory rats that indicates low-intensity exercise may significantly delay the onset of congestive heart failure appears to have some promising implications for humans. view more (2005-12-09)
Kidney failure, hypertension in children, topics of findings from nephrologists at Texas Children's Hospital
Two studies just released by physicians at Texas Children's Hospital are addressing new findings in patients with pediatric kidney failure, and on the growing prevalence of high blood pressure in children. view more (2005-11-16)
Scientists discover that widely available drug also helps fight kidney disease
A widely available drug may be effective in treating kidney disease, report scientists at the University of California, Santa Barbara. view more (2006-03-21)
Gene therapy reverses genetic mutation responsible for heart failure in muscular dystrophy
University of Pittsburgh investigators have for the first time used gene therapy to successfully treat heart failure and other degenerative muscle problems in an animal model that is genetically susceptible to a human muscular dystrophy. view more (2005-10-26)
Orange juice is better than lemonade at keeping kidney stones away
A daily glass of orange juice can help prevent the recurrence of kidney stones better than other citrus fruit juices such as lemonade, researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have discovered. view more (2006-09-01)
National study improves outcome for pediatric AML
A new strategy for treating childhood acute myeloid leukemia (AML) based on the individual patient's risk of failure, and guided by the results of a highly sensitive technique for identifying leukemic cells, yielded one-year survival rates of almost 90 percent. view more (2005-12-14)
High-dose radiation reduces risk of prostate cancer recurrence
Men with localized prostate cancer who received high-dose external radiation therapy were less likely to have cancer recurrence than men who received conventional-dose radiation therapy. view more (2005-09-14)
Scientists Uncover Mechanism of Response to Targeted Therapy in Kidney Cancer
UCLA researchers knew-based on two clinical trials-that a subset of kidney cancer patients responded well to an experimental targeted therapy, but they didn't know why. view more (2006-01-13)
New study supports major change in diet treatment for diabetes
A low-fat vegan diet treats type 2 diabetes more effectively than a standard diabetes diet and may be more effective than single-agent therapy with oral diabetes drugs. view more (2006-08-08)
Hormone might cause dangerous pregnancy complication
Researchers at the University of Cincinnati (UC) Academic Health Center have found evidence of a hormone they say is responsible for certain types of high blood pressure (hypertension), and could also cause preeclampsia, a potentially dangerous condition that occurs during pregnancy. view more (2005-10-18)
Active ingredient in common Chinese herb shown to reduce hypertension
Some 50 million Americans have hypertension, that is, blood pressure measuring above the normal range (less than 120/80 mmHg). If untreated, it can lead to heart attacks, strokes, or kidney disease. Lifestyle changes are the first-stage treatment for the disease, but if they fail, medications are prescribed. view more (2007-01-19)
New Model Shows Gender Differences in High Blood Pressure, Jefferson Scientists Find
Researchers at Jefferson Medical College have implicated a protein called GRK5 as having an important role behind essential hypertension, which affects more than 65 million Americans. view more (2005-10-06)
Obesity may be factor in accelerated type I diabetes in some patients
Obesity, long known as a cause of type II diabetes, may accelerate the onset of type 1 diabetes in some - but not all - groups of younger patients, according to research at Wake Forest University School of Medicine and six clinical sites nationally. view more (2006-02-06)
Speed of PSA rise helps predict survival for prostate cancer patients
The clinical outcome for prostate cancer patients who have been treated with hormone therapy and radiation therapy can usually be determined by how rapidly their prostate specific antigen level rises following treatment. view more (2005-10-03)
Clock molecule's sensitivity to lithium sheds light on bipolar disorder
Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine discovered that a key receptor protein is a critical component of the internal molecular clock in mammals. What's more, this molecule -called Rev-erb- is sensitive to lithium and may help shed light on circadian rhythm disorders, including bipolar disorder. view more (2006-02-17)
New 'molecular switch' protein protects the heart from major cardiovascular damage
It's just one little amino acid, but it makes all the difference in protecting the heart from the harmful effects of heart attack and cardiac failure. Researchers from the University of Michigan Medical School suggest this amino acid, called histidine, could be the key to a new therapy for cardiovascular disease. view more (2006-01-23)
