| Unhealthy eating can make a bad mood worse Posted: 15 Mar 2013 05:27 PM PDT Taking part in unhealthy eating behaviors may cause women who are concerned about their diet and self-image to experience a worsening of their moods, according to researchers.  |
| Drug-resistant MRSA bacteria: Here to stay in both hospital and community Posted: 15 Mar 2013 05:27 PM PDT The drug-resistant bacteria known as MRSA, once confined to hospitals but now widespread in communities, will likely continue to exist in both settings as separate strains, according to a new study.  |
| Discovery could yield treatment for cocaine addicts Posted: 15 Mar 2013 12:12 PM PDT Scientists have discovered a molecular process in the brain triggered by cocaine use that could provide a target for treatments to prevent or reverse addiction to the drug.  |
| We are still at risk of the plague, new study says Posted: 15 Mar 2013 12:09 PM PDT Today archaeologists unearthed a 'Black Death' grave in London, containing more than a dozen skeletons of people suspected to have died from the plague. The victims are thought to have died during the 14th century and archaeologists anticipate finding many more as they excavate the site. The Plague is by definition a re-emerging infectious disease which affects the lungs and is highly contagious, leading to mass outbreaks across populations.  |
| Rapid rise in antipsychotic treatment of medicaid-insured children Posted: 15 Mar 2013 12:08 PM PDT More benefit/risk information is needed in community care efforts, says a researcher.  |
| Improved detection of frontotemporal degeneration may aid clinical trial efforts Posted: 15 Mar 2013 12:08 PM PDT A series of studies demonstrate improved detection of the second most common form of dementia, providing diagnostic specificity that clears the way for refined clinical trials testing targeted treatments.  |
| Tau transmission model opens doors for new Alzheimer's, Parkinson's therapies Posted: 15 Mar 2013 12:08 PM PDT Injecting synthetic tau fibrils into animal models induces Alzheimer's-like tau tangles and imitates the spread of tau pathology, according to new research.  |
| For smokers, low levels of vitamin D may lead to cancer Posted: 15 Mar 2013 12:08 PM PDT New research shows that decreased levels of vitamin D may predispose smokers to developing tobacco-related cancer. This study illustrates that simple vitamin D blood tests and supplements have the potential to improve smokers' health.  |
| Night shifts may be linked to increased ovarian cancer risk Posted: 15 Mar 2013 04:47 AM PDT Working night shifts might increase the risk of developing ovarian cancer, indicates new research.  |
| No clear evidence that decline in hormone replacement therapy use linked to fall in breast cancer Posted: 15 Mar 2013 04:47 AM PDT There is no clear evidence that the decline in the use of hormone replacement therapy is linked to a reported fall in the numbers of new cases of breast cancer, as has been claimed, suggests a new study.  |
| New cells in the urethra discovered which may detect hazardous substances Posted: 15 Mar 2013 04:47 AM PDT A recent study has revealed the presence of a previously unknown cell in the urethra of mice. These chemosensory cholinergic brush cells are in close contact to sensory neurons that express cholinergic receptors.  |
| Balancing act: direct and indirect costs of managing musculoskeletal disorders Posted: 15 Mar 2013 04:46 AM PDT The value of medical treatment can be far greater than the cost of the treatment finds a new study. Improved physical function leads to measurable gains in employment, improved household income, and fewer days missed from work. This improvement in employment is matched by a reduction in the necessity of disability benefits.  |
| Alcohol, fibromyalgia, and quality of life Posted: 15 Mar 2013 04:46 AM PDT Low and moderate drinkers of alcohol reported lower severity of symptoms of fibromyalgia than teetotallers, finds a study. Too much alcohol reversed this effect. The chronic pain of fibromyalgia is thought to affect one in 20 people worldwide but there is no known cause or cure. It often goes hand in hand with fatigue and sleep problems, headaches, depression and irritable bowel and bladder problems. Treatment is based around pain management and lifestyle changes.  |
| Additional role for Abiraterone in blocking tumour growth in castration resistant prostate cancer Posted: 15 Mar 2013 04:46 AM PDT As part of an EU-supported IMI-PREDECT consortium (www.predect.eu), a Dutch study showed that anti-androgenic properties of the drug abiraterone may provide an additional mechanism of action in blocking tumour growth of castration resistant prostate cancer (CRPC).  |
| Chemicals pollutants threaten health in the Arctic Posted: 15 Mar 2013 04:45 AM PDT People living in Arctic areas can be more sensitive to pollutants due to their genetics. This is unfortunate since the northernmost areas of Europe are receiving more harmful chemicals. Scientists believe climate change may be a culprit as air and water mass movements push some of these undesirable chemicals towards the Arctic.  |
| Immune finding aids quest for vaccines to beat tropical infections Posted: 14 Mar 2013 03:01 PM PDT Scientists are a step closer to developing vaccines for a range of diseases that affect 200 million people, mainly in tropical Southeast Asia, Africa and Central America.  |
| New structural insight into neurodegenerative disease Posted: 14 Mar 2013 03:01 PM PDT Scientists have released new results on the structure and molecular details of the neurodegenerative disease-associated protein Ataxin-1. Mutations in Ataxin-1 cause the neurological disease, Spinocerebella Ataxia Type 1, which is characterized by a loss of muscular coordination and balance, as is seen in Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, and Huntington's diseases.  |
| Coffee, green tea, may help lower stroke risk Posted: 14 Mar 2013 03:01 PM PDT Green tea and coffee may help lower your risks of having a stroke, especially when both are a regular part of your diet. People who drank either green tea or coffee daily had about approximately 20~30 percent lower risk for one type of stroke, compared to those who seldom drank them.  |
| High-fat dairy products linked to poorer breast cancer survival Posted: 14 Mar 2013 03:01 PM PDT Patients who consume high-fat dairy products following breast cancer diagnosis increase their chances of dying from the disease years later, according to a new study.  |
| Software for new cancer screening method developed Posted: 14 Mar 2013 02:57 PM PDT Women may one day have a more accurate, less expensive means of detecting breast cancer, thanks in part to new software. Microwave tomography imaging, or MTI, has the potential to produce an image capable of finding cancer, even in women with dense breast tissue.  |
| How vitamin E can help prevent cancer Posted: 14 Mar 2013 02:56 PM PDT Researchers have identified an elusive anti-cancer property of vitamin E that has long been presumed to exist, but difficult to find.  |
