| Scientists uncover potential treatment for painful side effect of diabetes Posted: 13 May 2012 11:45 AM PDT Why diabetics suffer from increased pain and temperature sensitivity is a step closer to being understood and effectively treated.  |
| Excess weight in pregnant women can have negative health Implications for offspring in adulthood Posted: 13 May 2012 11:45 AM PDT That overweight during pregnancy can lead to overweight children and adolescents has been known for some time, but new research indicates that excess weight before and during pregnancy can have long-lasting health consequences for the offspring of such mothers even later in life.  |
| Powerful function of single protein that controls neurotransmission discovered Posted: 13 May 2012 11:45 AM PDT Scientists have discovered that the single protein -- alpha 2 delta -- exerts a spigot-like function, controlling the volume of neurotransmitters and other chemicals that flow between the synapses of brain neurons. The study shows how brain cells talk to each other through these signals, relaying thoughts, feelings and action, and this powerful molecule plays a crucial role in regulating effective communication.  |
| Lifesaving devices missing near the scene of three-quarters of cardiac arrests Posted: 12 May 2012 11:42 AM PDT More than 75 percent of cardiac arrest victims are stricken too far away from an automated external defibrillator for the lifesaving device to be obtained quickly enough to offer the best chance at saving their lives, according to new research.  |
