| Plant-made drug reverses breathing paralysis, study suggests Posted: 13 Jul 2013 09:28 AM PDT Paralytic drugs like succinylcholine are often used during surgery or when critically ill patients require endotracheal intubation. But if the drug is not swiftly cleared from the patient's system, the results can be deadly. |
| Posted: 13 Jul 2013 06:52 AM PDT Proper tissue function and regeneration is supported by stem cells, which reside in so-called niches. New work identifies an important component for regulating stem cell niches, with impacts on tissue building and function. The results could have implications for disease research. |
| Posted: 13 Jul 2013 06:51 AM PDT A natural tissue graft can spur regeneration of cartilage and improve symptoms in patients who have cartilage damage in their knee, according to a new study. |
| Type of helmet may not lower concussion risk Posted: 13 Jul 2013 06:51 AM PDT 40,000 high school football kids get a concussion every year, but contrary to equipment manufacturers' claims, the specific brand of helmet and helmet age were not associated with lower risk of concussion, say researchers. |
| Injecting iron supplement lets scientists track transplanted stem cells Posted: 12 Jul 2013 05:46 AM PDT A new, noninvasive technique for tracking stem cells after transplantation -- developed by a cross-disciplinary team of radiologists, chemists, statisticians and materials scientists -- could help surgeons determine whether a procedure to repair injured or worn-out knees is successful. |
| A hidden epidemic: Street children show high levels of drug use Posted: 12 Jul 2013 05:46 AM PDT A review of fifty studies of drug use among street children in 22 countries sheds new light on the magnitude of the problem, the causes and health consequences of drug use among street children. |
| Range of motion may be a predictor for elbow injuries in major league baseball pitchers Posted: 12 Jul 2013 05:42 AM PDT Certain elements of a pitcher's throwing mechanics can increase the risk for elbow injuries. |
| Corticosteroid injections may help injured NFL players return to play sooner Posted: 12 Jul 2013 05:42 AM PDT Corticosteroid injections may speed-up the return time for National Football League (NFL) players suffering high ankle sprains, according to new research. Players treated with these injections typically returned 40% faster or approximately 10 days earlier than those not receiving the same treatment. |
| Stress fracture risk may be modifiable Posted: 12 Jul 2013 05:42 AM PDT Programs to improve movement patterns may help prevent stress fractures in athletes and military personnel, say researchers. |
