| Clues to curbing obesity found in neuronal 'sweet spot' Posted: 01 Aug 2014 06:35 PM PDT Preventing weight gain, obesity, and ultimately diabetes could be as simple as keeping a nuclear receptor from being activated in a small part of the brain, according to a new study.       |
| Removing vending machines from schools is not enough to reduce soda consumption Posted: 01 Aug 2014 06:33 PM PDT Banning vending machines from schools can actually increase soda and fast food consumption among students if it's the only school food policy change implemented, according to new research.  |
| New research characterizes in-flight pediatric deaths: 90% of deaths in children under age 2 Posted: 01 Aug 2014 02:11 PM PDT In a first-of-its-kind study, researchers found that lap infants may be at greater risk for death on a commercial airline flight. The study analyzed pediatric medical emergencies on flights worldwide between January 2010 and June 2013 and found 90 percent of deaths occurred in children under the age of 2.  |
| Expressive writing may help breast cancer survivors Posted: 01 Aug 2014 02:11 PM PDT Writing down fears, emotions and the benefits of a cancer diagnosis may improve health outcomes for Asian-American breast cancer survivors, according to a new study.  |
| Jailed family member increases risks for kids' adult health Posted: 01 Aug 2014 06:11 AM PDT People whose childhood included a member of the household becoming imprisoned have a 16-percent greater risk of reporting lower overall health quality in adulthood, a new study finds. The risk is independent of other childhood adversity.  |
| Posted: 01 Aug 2014 06:09 AM PDT Varying practices and frequent lapses in nutrition delivery can put critically ill patients at greater risk for malnutrition and associated complications, according to a new article. The article offers specific strategies to address underfeeding and decrease the time patients spend without nutrition.  |
| Algorithm reduces use of CT scans when diagnosing children with appendicitis Posted: 31 Jul 2014 01:00 PM PDT Implementation of an algorithm aimed to diagnose pediatric patients with suspected appendicitis reduces the utilization of computed tomography scans, without affecting diagnostic accuracy, researchers have found.  |
| See-through organs and bodies will accelerate biomedical discoveries Posted: 31 Jul 2014 11:57 AM PDT The ability to see through organs and even the entire body has been a long-time dream of biologists. A new study has now made that dream a reality, revealing simple methods for making opaque organs, bodies, and human tissue biopsies transparent, while keeping the cellular structures and connections intact. The protocols could pave the way for a better understanding of brain-body interactions, more accurate clinical diagnoses and disease monitoring, and a new generation of therapies.  |
| Biochemical mechanisms contributing to fibromuscular dysplasia discovered Posted: 31 Jul 2014 08:10 AM PDT A new report suggests FMD may not be limited to the arteries as currently believed. In addition, the report suggests a connection to abnormalities of bones and joints, as well as evidence that inflammation may be driving the vascular disease in FMD patients.  |
| Vacuum treatment may limit damage after traumatic brain injury Posted: 31 Jul 2014 07:24 AM PDT Controlled application of vacuum pressure is a promising approach to limiting tissue damage after traumatic brain injury, suggests an experimental study.  |
| A step closer to finding treatment for dengue fever Posted: 31 Jul 2014 06:53 AM PDT Researchers are now a step closer to finding a treatment for dengue fever. In the CELADEN study completed last year, medical researchers found that Celgosivir is generally safe and well-tolerated by patients affected with the dengue virus. The discovery has moved to the next phase of trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of an alternate dosing regimen as well as combination drug treatments.  |
