Generic transplant drugs as good as brand name, experts say Posted: 03 May 2015 10:42 AM PDT Scientists have found that generic formulations of tacrolimus, a drug used post-transplant to lower the risk of organ rejection, are just as good as the name-brand version. |
New test predicts sudden cardiac death in hemodialysis patients Posted: 03 May 2015 05:48 AM PDT A new test has been developed to predict sudden cardiac death in hemodialysis patients in whom such forecasts were previously impossible. The test uses a combination of nuclear medicine, C-reactive protein and electrocardiogram (ECG). Researchers found that patients with 2 or 3 abnormal measures were at 145 times increased cardiac risk. |
How oxidizing a heart 'brake' causes heart damage Posted: 30 Apr 2015 02:07 PM PDT Oxidative stress has been long known to fuel disease, but how exactly it damages various organs has been challenging to sort out. Now scientists say research in mice reveals why oxidation comes to be so corrosive to heart muscle. |
Uterine cooling can reduce C-section blood loss, study reveals Posted: 30 Apr 2015 12:50 PM PDT A never-before-seen childbirth technique could help a woman's body heal itself through temperature changes, according to a pilot study. In a finding that could someday decrease global maternal mortality, researchers have found that cooling a woman's uterus after a C-section can dramatically reduce postpartum blood loss. |
