| Synapse discovery could lead to new treatments for Alzheimer's disease Posted: 27 Nov 2015 07:23 AM PST A team of scientists has discovered how connections between brain cells are destroyed in the early stages of Alzheimer's disease -- work that opens up a new avenue for research on possible treatments for the degenerative brain condition. |
| Structural brain connectivity as a genetic marker for schizophrenia Posted: 25 Nov 2015 08:32 AM PST Schizophrenia has been considered an illness of disrupted brain connectivity since its earliest descriptions. Several studies have suggested brain white matter is affected not only in patients with schizophrenia but also in individuals at increased risk for the disease. |
| Postoperative Clostridium difficile infection in the Veterans Health Administration Posted: 25 Nov 2015 08:32 AM PST The overall postoperative rate of Clostridium difficile infection, a bacterium that can cause severe diarrhea and life-threatening intestinal conditions, was 0.4 percent per year among more than 468,386 surgical procedures at the Veterans Health Administration, according to a study. |
| Changes in retail prices for prescription dermatologic drugs from 2009-2015 Posted: 25 Nov 2015 08:32 AM PST Prices among 19 brand-name prescription dermatologic drugs increased rapidly between 2009 and 2015, with prices for topical antineoplastic drugs to prevent the spread of cancer cells increasing an average of 1,240 percent, according to an article. |
| Can physical exercise enhance long-term memory? Posted: 25 Nov 2015 07:47 AM PST Exercise can enhance the development of new brain cells in the adult brain, a process called adult neurogenesis. These newborn brain cells play an important role in learning and memory. A new study has determined that mice that spent time running on wheels not only developed twice the normal number of new neurons, but also showed an increased ability to distinguish new objects from familiar objects. |
| Scientists identify promising new melanoma drug Posted: 25 Nov 2015 05:41 AM PST A new, first-in-class compound halts tumor growth by disrupting protein production, report scientists, who say that the new drug may show promise for treating skin cancers that are resistant or unresponsive to today's leading therapies. In the United States, 5 million people are treated annually for skin cancer, and 9,000 people die from the deadliest form -- melanoma. |
