| Tiny self-assembling transport networks, powered by nano-scale motors and controlled by DNA created Posted: 10 Nov 2013 03:44 PM PST Tiny self-assembling transport networks, powered by nano-scale motors and controlled by DNA, have been developed by scientists.  |
| Posted: 10 Nov 2013 03:43 PM PST A new study shines new light on molecular tools our cells use to govern regulated gene expression.  |
| Simple dot test may help gauge progression of dopamine loss in Parkinson's disease Posted: 09 Nov 2013 04:28 PM PST Could figuring out how much dopamine a patient with Parkinson's disease has lost be as simple as completing a dot test? Researchers hope the easy task might lead to ways of improving clinical treatment of Parkinson's patients.  |
| Posted: 09 Nov 2013 12:39 PM PST Researchers have discovered details on a speedy microorganism that needs hydrogen to produce methane.  |
| Gene puts African Americans at higher risk for kidney failure, study says Posted: 09 Nov 2013 12:37 PM PST Genetic factors in African Americans with chronic kidney disease (CKD) put them at a greater risk for end-stage renal disease (ESRD) compared to white Americans, according to a new study released. Researchers contributed data from two separate studies: the African American Study of Kidney Disease and Hypertension (AASK) and the Chronic Renal Insufficiency Cohort Study (CRIC).  |
| Peripheral prism glasses are cheap, effective vision rehab tool Posted: 08 Nov 2013 07:21 AM PST A multi-center study determined that real peripheral prism glasses are more helpful than sham peripheral prism glasses for patients with hemianopia during every day walking.  |
| Allergic to insect stings: Allergy shots decrease anxiety, depression Posted: 08 Nov 2013 06:02 AM PST According to a study, allergy shots, also known as immunotherapy, can improve quality of life for insect sting allergy sufferers.  |
| You can have a food allergy, and eat it too Posted: 08 Nov 2013 06:02 AM PST Have food allergies? If you answered yes, you know the best way to prevent a severe allergic reaction is to totally avoid the offending food. But according to new research, you may no longer have to avoid the food entirely.  |
| The great disappearing act: Bone marrow receiver cured of allergy Posted: 08 Nov 2013 06:01 AM PST Not only can bone marrow transplants be life-saving for children with acute lymphocytic leukemia, they may also cure peanut allergies. According to research, a 10-year-old boy no longer had a peanut allergy after undergoing a bone marrow transplant.  |
| Oral allergy syndrome, high blood pressure medications can create lethal cocktail Posted: 08 Nov 2013 06:01 AM PST Oral allergy syndrome sufferers that take high blood pressure medications may experience extreme facial swelling and difficulty breathing the next time they bite into a juicy apple. When patients with oral allergy syndrome take angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors for hypertension and congestive heart failure, they are at an increased risk for a life-threatening allergic reaction known as anaphylaxis, according to new research.  |
| Holiday health: Asthma with a side of allergies Posted: 08 Nov 2013 06:01 AM PST People with asthma traveling to pet friendly homes for the holidays may want to pack allergy medication along with their inhaler. A study reveals the number of people with asthma that are also allergic to cats has more than doubled over an 18 year period.  |
| Allergy shots during pregnancy may decrease allergies in children Posted: 08 Nov 2013 06:01 AM PST Expecting mothers who suffer from allergies may want to consider another vaccination. A study found pregnant women who receive allergy shots, also known as immunotherapy, during pregnancy may decrease their baby's chance of developing allergies.  |
| Genetic study on South Asians helps to understand human skin color variation Posted: 07 Nov 2013 05:42 PM PST In a recent study, researchers took skin color measurements from local residents in India to quantify the range and extent of variation in skin pigmentation phenotype and found that one of the important pigmentation genes, SLC24A5, plays a key role in skin pigmentation variation among South Asians. The comprehensive map of the genetic variant associated with light skin further revealed that it is quite wide spread in the subcontinent.  |
| High clot risk for women admitted to hospital during pregnancy Posted: 07 Nov 2013 05:42 PM PST Admission to hospital during pregnancy for reasons other than delivery carries a substantially increased risk of serious blood clots (known as venous thromboembolism or VTE), finds a study.  |
| Why women have greater shortness of breath than men when exercising Posted: 07 Nov 2013 04:18 PM PST The reason women find it harder to breathe than men during exercise is due to greater electrical activation of their breathing muscles, shows a new study.  |
| Lowering salt intake improves heart, kidney health of chronic kidney disease patients Posted: 07 Nov 2013 04:18 PM PST In patients with chronic kidney disease who lowered their salt intake for two weeks, excess extracellular fluid volume, blood pressure, and protein excretion in the urine all dropped considerably. If maintained long-term, the effects could reduce a patient's risk of progressing to kidney failure by 30%.  |
