| Nerve mapping technology improves surgery for compressed nerves Posted: 23 Mar 2013 12:24 PM PDT Nerve mapping technology allows surgeons to determine whether surgery has been effective for relieving pressure from compressed nerves, which often function poorly and cause sciatica or pain and weakness in muscles supplied by the nerve.  |
| Physical activity during youth may help reduce fracture risk in old age Posted: 23 Mar 2013 12:24 PM PDT Get out there and regularly kick that soccer ball around with your kids, you may be helping them prevent a broken hip when they are older, say researchers.  |
| Alterations in brain activity in children at risk of schizophrenia predate onset of symptoms Posted: 22 Mar 2013 02:43 PM PDT Research has shown that children at risk of developing schizophrenia have brains that function differently than those not at risk.  |
| Foods can help fight inflammation Posted: 22 Mar 2013 12:40 PM PDT Chronic inflammation can lead to chronic diseases, but it can be reduced naturally through the proper diet.  |
| Protective properties of influenza vaccines revealed Posted: 22 Mar 2013 12:40 PM PDT Scientists have identified an important mechanism for stimulating protective immune responses following seasonal influenza vaccinations.  |
| Making axons branch and grow to help nerve regeneration after injury Posted: 22 Mar 2013 09:54 AM PDT One molecule makes nerve cells grow longer. Another one makes them grow branches. These new experimental manipulations have taken researchers a step closer to understanding how nerve cells are repaired at their farthest reaches after injury.  |
| Atherosclerosis: Specific microRNAs promote inflammation Posted: 22 Mar 2013 09:53 AM PDT Atherosclerosis, an inflammatory reaction, is at the root of the most common forms of cardiovascular disease. Researchers have now identified a microRNA that plays a prominent role in the process, and offers a promising target for new therapies.  |
| Novel method accurately predicts disease outbreaks Posted: 22 Mar 2013 09:52 AM PDT Scientists have developed a novel method to accurately predict dengue fever outbreaks several weeks before they occur.  |
| New chemo drug gentler on fertility, tougher on cancer Posted: 22 Mar 2013 08:45 AM PDT A new gentler chemotherapy drug in the form of nanoparticles has been designed by scientists to be less toxic to a young woman's fertility but extra tough on cancer. This is the first cancer drug tested while in development for its effect on fertility using a novel, quick in vitro test designed by the scientists.  |
| Common antibiotic linked to heart problems in patients with lung conditions Posted: 21 Mar 2013 05:56 PM PDT The antibiotic clarithromycin -- widely used for treating lower respiratory tract infections like pneumonia and acute exacerbations (sudden worsening) of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease -- may be associated with an increased risk of heart problems, finds a new study.  |
| Protein linked to exacerbation of COPD identified Posted: 21 Mar 2013 10:31 AM PDT Researchers have identified a protein likely to be involved in the exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). This protein, Siglec-14, could serve as a potential new target for the treatment of COPD exacerbation.  |
