| Diabetes, heart disease, and back pain dominate US health care spending Posted: 27 Dec 2016 10:47 AM PST Just 20 conditions make up more than half of all spending on health care in the United States, according to a new comprehensive financial analysis that examines spending by diseases and injuries. |
| Posted: 27 Dec 2016 08:07 AM PST ICUs are being used too often for patients who don't need that level of care, according a new research. |
| Fertility: Out of gas and low on sperm? Posted: 27 Dec 2016 08:02 AM PST Sperm are constantly replenished in the adult male body. Understanding the workings of stem cells responsible for this replenishment is expected to shed light on why male fertility diminishes with age, and possibly lead to new treatments for infertility. |
| Shoulder pain linked to increased heart disease risk Posted: 27 Dec 2016 05:35 AM PST After all the lifting, hauling and wrapping, worn out gift givers may blame the season's physical strain for any shoulder soreness they are feeling. It turns out there could be another reason. A new study finds that individuals with symptoms that put them at increased risk for heart disease could be more likely to have shoulder problems, including joint pain and rotator cuff injury. |
| Novel insights into neuronal activity-dependent gene expression by CREB Posted: 27 Dec 2016 05:35 AM PST Researchers have investigated how neuronal activity influences cAMP response element binding protein (CREB) dynamics. |
| Posted: 27 Dec 2016 05:35 AM PST Scientists report a new molecular mechanism that could explain the cause of some autoimmune diseases. |
| Treating cancer with drugs for diabetes and hypertension Posted: 27 Dec 2016 05:35 AM PST A combination of a diabetes medication and an antihypertensive drug can effectively combat cancer cells. The team of researchers has also reported that specific cancer cells respond to this combination of drugs. |
| New mathematical model provides 'disease causation index' Posted: 27 Dec 2016 05:34 AM PST Patients with complex diseases have a higher risk of developing another. Multi-morbidity represents a huge problem in everyday clinical practice, because it makes it more difficult to provide successful treatment. By analysing data from all over Austria, scientists have managed to develop a mathematical model that can be used to distinguish whether a disease has a genetic or environmental cause. |
| Calcium aids chromosome condensation prior to cell division Posted: 27 Dec 2016 05:34 AM PST New research reveals role for calcium ions in chromosome condensation during mitosis; high-resolution imaging of living cells reveals compact, globular chromosomes in the presence of calcium that became fibrous and expand in its absence. |
| Sugar element of keratan sulfate halts the progress of emphysema Posted: 27 Dec 2016 05:34 AM PST Using a mouse model, scientists have identified a sugar molecule that reduced the inflammatory response and progress of emphysema, a common component of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). This discovery could lead to the development of drugs based on glycans -- biological sugar molecules -- for the treatment of diseases such as COPD, which is the fourth leading cause of death worldwide. |
| National study documents value of family-provided medical care for children Posted: 27 Dec 2016 05:33 AM PST About half of US children with special health care needs -- 5.6 million children -- receive medical care from uncompensated family members worth billions of dollars, finds a large national study. The study is the first to systematically track parents' unpaid time providing care, as well as lost income due to parents taking time off from work. |
| Single protein may hold secret to treating Parkinson's disease and more Posted: 26 Dec 2016 06:12 PM PST New details about a key cellular protein could lead to treatments for neurodegenerative diseases, such as Parkinson's, Huntington's, Alzheimer's, and ALS. At their root, these disorders are triggered by misbehaving proteins in the brain. The proteins misfold and accumulate in neurons, eventually killing the cells. In a new study, researchers used a different protein, Nrf2, to restore levels of the disease-causing proteins to a normal, healthy range, thereby preventing cell death. |
