Cord blood cells may widen treatment window for stroke
Researchers at the University of South Florida found that human umbilical cord blood cells administered to rats two days following a stroke greatly curbed the brain's inflammatory response, reducing the size of the stroke and resulting in greatly improved recovery. view more (2005-11-14)
Methamphetamine use increases risks of artery tears and stroke
Methamphetamine use may be associated with increased risks of major neck artery tears and stroke, according to an article published in the December 26, 2006, issue of Neurology, the scientific journal of the American Academy of Neurology. view more (2006-12-26)
Vitamin D inhibits progression of some prostate cancers
Vitamin D can inhibit the spread of prostate cancer cells by limiting the activity of two specific enzymes, University of Rochester Medical Center scientists report. view more (2006-02-09)
New compound reduces stroke damage
A group of German scientists has synthesized a new compound that dramatically decreases the damage to neurons in rats demonstrating stroke symptoms. view more (2006-05-16)
Promising cell protein may play role in infection and dry eye
Plasminogen Activator Inhibitor Type 2 (PAI-2), a protein found in various cell types including the skin, has been discovered in the tissue covering the eye and may have future clinical implications in various pathologies of the ocular surface such as eye infection or dry eye. view more (2006-05-17)
Drug-ultrasound combination increases reopening of blocked arteries after stroke
Standard clot-busting medication combined with low-energy ultrasound appears to reopen clogged arteries in stroke patients better than medication alone. view more (2006-02-16)
Analysis of breast-cancer gene role offers promising target
Researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have for the first time described how multiple copies of a gene are responsible for metastases in early-stage breast cancer and poor prognosis for patients. view more (2006-10-31)
In preeclampsia, researchers identify proteins that cause blood vessel damage
Proteins released by the placenta may damage blood vessels in women with preeclampsia (PE), according to an abstract presented by Yale School of Medicine researchers at the Society for Gynecologic Investigation Conference March 17 in Reno, Nevada. view more (2007-03-19)
Stroke patients with mild symptoms may still need clot-dissolving drug
Although use of the clot-dissolving drug tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) has revolutionized the treatment of acute stroke patients, many of those who could receive the drug do not because their initial symptoms appear mild or improve soon after they arrive at the hospital. view more (2005-10-07)
Medication may promote opening of arteries following stroke
A medication known as argatroban, when combined with another drug already used in the treatment of stroke patients, may help restore the flow of blood through blocked arteries. view more (2006-08-15)
Preclinical Study Links Gene to Brain Aneurysm Formation
University of Cincinnati (UC) neurovascular researchers have identified a gene that-when suppressed or completely absent-may predispose a person to brain aneurysms. view more (2007-08-08)
Convincing results: Stopping the spread of cancer in the body
A team of Danish researchers have discovered that by blocking a specific enzyme, it is possible to check the spread of cancer in the body. This finding may be the first step towards preventing deaths due to cancer spreading to other parts of the body. The discovery may also help reduce the amount of chemotherapy used. view more (2004-11-22)
Researchers discover key mechanism to emergence of deadly strep bacteria
The incidence of serious strep infections has risen dramatically in the last three decades, and this increase is largely attributed to the spread around the globe of a single strain of strep known as the invasive M1T1 clone. view more (2007-07-16)
Air pollution linked to cardiovascular risk indices in healthy young adults
Researchers in Taiwan have demonstrated for the first time that urban air pollution simultaneously affects key indicators of cardiovascular risk in young adults: inflammation, oxidative stress, coagulation and autonomic dysfunction. view more (2007-08-15)
Lowering Body Temperature Could Aid Standard Stroke Treatment
University of Cincinnati (UC) scientists have developed a model that could help physicians combine current clot-busting medication with below-normal body temperatures (hypothermia) to improve the treatment of ischemic stroke patients. view more (2007-05-18)
Weill Cornell Team Discovers How Brain's Own tPA Helps Regulate Blood Flow to Neurons
The human brain contains its own store of a powerful enzyme (and stroke drug) called tissue plasminogen activator (tPA), which appears to be a key regulator of blood flow to brain cells, a team at the Weill Cornell Medical College in New York City reports. view more (2008-01-18)
Clot-dissolving agent may be beneficial in treatment of severe frostbite
A preliminary study suggests that a blood clot-dissolving medication that is administered to some patients following a stroke or heart attack may help to reduce the risk of amputation following severe frostbite. view more (2007-06-19)
Fruit fly protein acts as decoy to capture tumor growth factors, find Penn researchers
Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine have shown how Argos, a fruit fly protein, acts as a ¡¥decoy' receptor, binding growth factors that promote the progression of cancer. view more (2008-05-29)
ALTERNATIVE PHARMACOLOGICAL STRATEGY FOR TREATMENT OF ACUTE HEART ATTACK (pp 1898, 1905)
Results of the GUSTO V randomised trial - detailed in a fast-track study in this week's issue of THE LANCET - suggest a role for a combination drug strategy for the treatment of acute heart attack. Despite having been the standard of care for acute myocardial infarction (heart attack) since the 1980s, reperfusion (re-establishing blood flow to the... view more... (2001-06-13)
Lung damage in babies with congenital heart disease under study
Trying to understand and stop the collateral lung damage that can occur in babies with congenital heart disease is the focus of a new study. view more (2008-03-11)
