| Link found between antidepressant use and congenital anomalies or stillbirths Posted: 02 Dec 2016 07:35 AM PST Pregnant women who take a specific type of antidepressant in early pregnancy have a small but significantly greater risk of having babies with major congenital anomalies (sometimes referred to as birth defects) or stillbirths compared with those who did not take these antidepressants, suggests a dose-response analysis. |
| New minimally invasive device to treat cancer and other illnesses Posted: 02 Dec 2016 07:12 AM PST A new device that could revolutionize the delivery of medicine to treat cancer as well as a host of other diseases and ailments has been outlined in a new report. |
| Adrenaline rush: Delaying epinephrine shots after cardiac arrest cuts survival rates Posted: 02 Dec 2016 07:12 AM PST Hospitals in which the administration of epinephrine to patients whose hearts have stopped is delayed beyond five minutes have significantly lower survival rates of those patients, a new study. |
| Radiation-free approach to imaging molecules in the brain Posted: 02 Dec 2016 07:05 AM PST Scientists hoping to get a glimpse of molecules that control brain activity have devised a new probe that allows them to image these molecules without using any chemical or radioactive labels. |
| Phantom movements in augmented reality helps patients with chronic intractable phantom limb pain Posted: 01 Dec 2016 06:22 PM PST A novel method of treating phantom limb pain has been developed using machine learning and augmented reality. This approach has been tested on over a dozen of amputees with chronic phantom limb pain who found no relief by other clinically available methods before. The new treatment reduced their pain by approximately 50 per cent, reports a clinical study. |
| Posted: 01 Dec 2016 06:22 PM PST A new anti-cancer drug that inhibits a key cell signalling process involved in many different cancers has shown that it is capable of stopping the progression of cancer and shrinking tumors. Importantly, it has been able to do this in rare cancers that are less well-studied such as adenoid cystic carcinoma. |
| Advanced soft tissue sarcomas respond to a combination of a new and an existing anti-cancer drug Posted: 01 Dec 2016 06:22 PM PST Researchers working to find effective treatments for soft tissue sarcomas have discovered that combining a new anti-cancer drug with an existing one kills cancer cells not only in the laboratory but also in the first two patients treated with it, leading to unusually long-lasting periods without the disease progressing. |
| Increased UVB exposure associated with reduced risk of nearsightedness, particularly in teens, young Posted: 01 Dec 2016 08:49 AM PST Higher ultraviolet B (UVB) radiation exposure, directly related to time outdoors and sunlight exposure, was associated with reduced odds of myopia (nearsightedness), and exposure to UVB between ages 14 and 29 years was associated with the highest reduction in odds of adult myopia. |
| Levels of total cholesterol, LDL-C, triglycerides continue to decline among US adults Posted: 30 Nov 2016 10:07 AM PST Scientists have examined whether earlier trends of a decline (between 1999 and 2010) in average levels of total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides, and low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) continued. |
| Potential new tool to aid breast cancer surgery Posted: 30 Nov 2016 08:40 AM PST Researchers have developed an optical fiber probe that distinguishes breast cancer tissue from normal tissue -- potentially allowing surgeons to be much more precise when removing breast cancer. |
| Online group therapy may be effective treatment for bulimia nervosa Posted: 30 Nov 2016 07:41 AM PST Online group therapy can be just as effective as face-to-face treatment, although the pace of recovery may be slower, results from a new study show. |
