| 'Dabbling' in hard drugs in middle age linked to increased risk of death Posted: 27 Jan 2012 02:47 PM PST Data could lead to better advice for primary-care doctors struggling with a rising tide of older adult patients still in throes of youthful bad habits.  |
| For diabetics not on insulin, self-monitoring blood sugar has no benefit, study suggests Posted: 27 Jan 2012 01:24 PM PST For type 2 diabetics who are not on insulin, monitoring their blood sugar does little to control blood sugar levels over time and may not be worth the effort or expense, according to a new evidence review.  |
| Scientists probe form, function of mysterious protein Posted: 27 Jan 2012 11:10 AM PST Using computer models and laboratory experiments, scientists have probed the structure of the protein mitoNEET to better understand its role in aging, cancer and diabetes. They found the protein could untangle its arms at one end to loosen its grip on a potentially toxic molecule of iron and sulfur.  |
| Hope for those with a depressive disposition Posted: 27 Jan 2012 11:00 AM PST Good news for the 13 per cent of the population with depressive personality traits: their negative outlook does not have to be permanent, according to new research from Sweden.  |
| Collaborative research sheds light on new cancer stem cell therapies Posted: 27 Jan 2012 10:54 AM PST New anti-cancer research has led to the development of a novel class of chemical inhibitors that specifically target cancer cells with pluripotency.  |
| New gene discovery provides clue to brain, eye and lymphatic development Posted: 26 Jan 2012 09:31 AM PST Researchers have found a new gene that, when mutated, can lead to lymphedema (swollen limbs) as part of a rare disorder that can also cause problems with eye and brain development. This is the fourth lymphedema-related gene found by the same researchers in three years, and the first linked to the eyes and brain. They say it could lead to better diagnosis and treatment for lymphedema, an area that has been poorly understood previously.  |
| Posted: 26 Jan 2012 08:59 AM PST Asian women who consumed an average of 200 milligrams or more of caffeine a day -- the equivalent of roughly two cups of coffee -- had elevated estrogen levels when compared to women who consumed less, according to a study of reproductive age women.  |
| Hurricane Katrina survivors struggle with mental health years later Posted: 26 Jan 2012 06:25 AM PST Survivors of Hurricane Katrina have struggled with poor mental health for years after the storm, according to a new study of low-income mothers in the New Orleans area.  |
